User reviews

Typical apps use a drop-down menu from the upper-left corner for basic navigation. The CR app used to be that way. But now it oddly places the most basic navigate function (categories) as a tiny, nondescript icon as the bottom on the main page. The back button performs differently from any other app I use. Basically, the recent UI changes have created an interface to one that's very nonstandard and unintuitive.

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...

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.
