Bug report
Devs, when you select multiple features, it treats it as an OR operator instead of AND. That means that searching for cars with heated seats and a moonroof actually returns more results than if I just search for cars with a moonroof, since searching for both will return any car that has heated seats OR a moonroof. It doesn't work this way when using the website so I assume this is a mistake with the app. Also, it becomes more difficult to specify price as a filter after the initial search. While these bugs make the app less usable, it's overall much better than other apps. Not just because of better design but saved searches, alerts, and filter by auto-emergency braking are hugely helpful features that I haven't found elsewhere.

Best App to search for cars!
I have been using this app and a couple of competitors apps for some time now searching for a car to get at the end of this year. I can say with 100% confidence this is the best/easiest app to navigate. The UI is incredible with all of the different filters you can add to your search. I love how it narrows it down and tells you how many cars are going to be in the search based on which filter you select i.e exterior color, year, etc. I don’t typically write reviews so, obviously this app has given me a great experience!

Thank you
Thank you, looking forward to seeing these features added back. Glad to see some developers taking the community’s feedback into account. Why keep making the app more and more complex? Other than a few bugs/crashes the app was great prior the most recent update. Please go back to being able to set custom prices(not 30k-40k,big difference.) and have the option for make/model separate. In its current state I do not recommend as they keep making changes that are ruining the app.
