Ratings and reviews

Overall, the app is fine, but where are the used car comparisons? If I could afford a brand new car, I wouldn't need a CR subscription. I have the subscription because I need to buy a used car, preferably a reliable one. Sure, I can search this app for each car and year individually, but that is quite time consuming.

Trying to look at new car ratings and I can't filter by price or sort by rating or anything like that?? I swear that used to be in this app. Did you remove a perfectly logical and valid feature like that?? Why?? Please bring it back. It's completely useless in it's current form...

I installed the app thinking the search capability would be better than the browser. I was wrong. There are so few filters on appliances such as refrigerators to make it almost useless. For instance, on the browser, I could filter for counter depth. In the app I could not (the browser filters though cut off at too low a max price with no way to change it). I'm pretty disappointed. If I can't figure it a way to get what I need not easily, I will cancel my membership and demand a refund.
