GoDaddy Investor Reviews

So today I noticed there was an auction for a domain name that I needed, not a prospector, it’s a domain name that I’ve been wanting for years. So I signed up with GoDaddy auctions, paid the fee and downloaded GoDaddyInvestor to my new iPhone and my new iPad. I did a test bid to make sure everything worked properly. When the auction go down to three minutes I tried to submit a significantly higher bid than what was in there currently. GoDaddyInvestor was unresponsive and then would close to home screen, the way a lot of apps did back in 2009. For three minutes I tried to submit a bid with perfect Internet on my iPad and iPhone and it kept dropping to the home screen and closing GoDaddyInvestor on both devices. In fact the last five minutes of the auction no one was able to place a bid at all. I asked someone else who had made contact about that domain name and was also bidding on it, and they said they were unable to place any bids as well. There was only six people total involved in the auction, it’s not like there were thousands of people making a mad dash for it like when Apple releases a new product. I called customer support and they say there’s nothing they will do. So basically now I’m going to be stuck having to buy this domain name for thousands of dollars from whatever prospector picked it up. I never should’ve relied on a GoDaddy product.

Downloaded GoDaddyInvestor and signed into my GoDaddy domain investors account. Nothing but blank screens. No search or anything. Ok, so I have to sign in through a desktop browser* and watch/favorite some auctions. Lame requirement, but I did it. I re-launch the GoDaddy app, still nothing. I sign out of GoDaddyInvestor and log into GoDaddyInvestor a few days later. STILL nothing. Log back into the web site from a desktop and I can see my favorites, no problem. So what am I missing here?

(BTW: The Domain investors desktop web site looks/works like it was developed by a high school intern doing a summer project [and should have been fired for it]. Terrible! *And I can't hit it from a mobile browser because safari/chrome quits trying saying "too many redirects." Probably won't extend this "Investors" service past this year.)

I downloaded GoDaddyInvestor 3 times to be able to watch my bids, I have daddy acct but for some reason every time I open GoDaddyInvestor it’s just blank. I end up just opening the regular godaddy app on my mobile to attempt to view all.

GoDaddyInvestor constantly logs you out. Even though I set it up to log in on my iPhone with the Touch ID feature, it never remembers the settings. I wouldn’t count on GoDaddyInvestor if you were really serious about purchasing a domain on the auctions. It’s just too unreliable.

More than 20 mins trying to buy a domain It asked to log in 3 times it accept login successfuly but , to pay i cant (i have an account for years) not mobile friendly and i ended up not buying and running away.

This is the worst app I have ever seen. Nothing but blank screens and other weird issues. Since GoDaddy is by far #1 registrar hard to believe they cannot do better I actually suspect app is a scam and fraud pretending to by GD to get your account login and credit card info but that’s only an allegation as there’s little evidence of it But be warned!

There are far fewer search and sort options available in GoDaddyInvestor than there are on the website. End up having to search the website to get meaningful results. App is pointless.

When it works it's nice but it usually kicks me out for my security and then when i try to log back in it does faceid and just gets stuck in the circle loading cursor forever. Totally annoying I usually end up logging in from web.

FIX THE LOGOUT ISSUE ALREADY GUYS. REALLY ANNOYING TO KEEP SIGNING IN. SERIOUSLY RIDICULOUS!!!!

Great app when it works, and when it doesn't log you out on its own. It constantly logs me out for no reason. That is not cool as the whole reason for GoDaddyInvestor is to notify you about auctions, if you get logged out you wont be notified and this has happened to me. 1 star for GoDaddyInvestor, hope godaddy steps their game up to accommodate users in 2019

I was kicked out of GoDaddyInvestor while paying for domains, so I went through to pay for the domains again. The end result was that I was charged twice.

When I reached out to be refunded for the duplicate charge, customer support said could return it as store credit. When I pressed further, they said that I couldn't receive a refund for the domain renewals and that I would get 2 years. That's a ridiculous SOP and shows that GoDaddy cares about quick money over having long term customers.

Terrible app, not user friendly or helpful at all. You can’t find listings on GoDaddyInvestor, nor can you sell owned domains. Pretty much a useless app with nothing but blank screens. It doesn’t deserve the 1 star I have given it. I downloaded because I was tired of the vague, difficult to use website for auctions, thinking maybe GoDaddyInvestor would be a more phone friendly way to buy and sell domains. You’d think a company that specifically sells domain services would at least be able to make a decent website/app themselves.

GoDaddy(domains) doesn't even have an app anymore but has GoDaddyInvestor for such terrible concept?!? Face it the dot com bubble is over the only thing left is concepts like this design to sell you so you sell at higher price (if lucky) instead of allowing the internet to have helpful information for everyone and anyone to access. Good domains that would provide and share great ideas with everyone are being help hostage by "investors" that still have a dream of being rich with shady dealings. At least GoDaddyInvestor doesn't even work, so that's good.

Yes u can bid on auctions and perhaps even get an alert, but only if GoDaddyInvestor feels like it.

Pay attn Godaddy devs (I already emailed this to Deron):
1. GoDaddyInvestor used to log u out randomly forcing u to reauthenticate, which means u miss auction alerts because u never know when ur logged in or out.
2. GoDaddyInvestor now logs u out daily at random times, which means u have to reauthenticate daily or first thing every morning.
3. GoDaddyInvestor doesn’t tell u when ul be logged out, so it’s a surprise.

Seriously - who the hell wants to reauthenticate daily, weekly, etc? I use 2 factor authentication, so it just compounds the problem.

GoDaddyInvestor issues have now forced me back to a monitor because it’s essentially useless now.

about 2 1/2 years ago I decided reselling domains with a professional storefront was a game changer (still do).

I remember making my first real dollars after selling a domain I had purchased through GoDaddyInvestor.

fast forward I decided to renew my account & I’ve begun re-reselling domains but haven’t been able to bid on/buy ANYTHING!!

the developers definitely set it & forgot it with GoDaddyInvestor…

The ability to sort and filter isn’t consistent across different areas of GoDaddyInvestor , such as the radar vs search area. Maybe that’s due to mixed listing types in the latter, but it almost negates that one’s usefulness.

I love GoDaddyInvestor and the convenience of having access to my domain portfolio, auction bids, etc., however I frequently have an error that states “we couldn’t load your domain list” and I can’t access my domains. This continuous error is inconvenient and needs to be addressed. Other than the error, good app.

The search features is broken. The inventory type filter is messed up. It was previously working. No way to send feedback through GoDaddyInvestor .

It worked better a few weeks ago, but even then you could not rely on it.

Do not trust GoDaddyInvestor as your only way to bid. It crashes without warning, often, including just as an auction you’ve bid on ends, so you have to reload it to see how your bid did.

The ‘watching’ feature sometimes doesn’t take, so you’ll think you’ve watched some names, but GoDaddyInvestor never recorded your choices.

Often GoDaddyInvestor thinks you’re not watching any names at all. Reload it and hope for the best.

I have it on an ipad and an iphone, and neither can be trusted. They’re great for general convenience, but when you’re doing something important, use a laptop/desktop or the actual godaddy site to be safe.

I love how I can search and buy domains. I love the go daddy support also.

Extremely User friendly love it
