For prospective automobile buyers, Auto Trader for Android is an invaluable tool. The app provides users with the capabilities they need to find the perfect car or truck. An Android device owner can search for vehicles based upon various criteria. In seconds, dozens upon dozens of potential vehicle matches will show up, and other features make the search process more simple than ever before.

Auto Trader is quite easy to use upon startup. Users need to enter the make and model of the vehicle they desire as well as their zip code. From there, the next page features appropriate results. Advanced search options are available, and users won't have trouble viewing listings from both dealerships and private sellers. It's then possible to contact the seller for more information or to secure a purchase.

Users can engage in as many searches as they'd like with the Auto Trader app. Searches can be saved with the tap of a button. Unfortunately, many users note that multiple searches cannot be saved, and only a single search will save. Frequent but inexplicable app crashes plague some users, so the app does suffer from some issues. When the app works properly, users will encounter a smooth and seamless experience.

Auto Trader for Android gives automobile buyers the power to find the right vehicle. Certain features from the desktop experience are missing, but that's expected from a slimmed down mobile app. In many areas, potential buyers will find dozens of vehicles that suit their needs and budget. Extra features in the app make it worth downloading and using to locate local vehicles for sale.

  • Access to Auto Trader's full results.

Potentially dangerous permissions

  • ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION: Allows an app to access approximate location. Alternatively, you might want ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION.
  • ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION: Allows an app to access precise location. Alternatively, you might want ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION.
  • READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to read from external storage.

Other permissions

  • ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to access information about networks.
  • ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: Allows applications to access information about Wi-Fi networks.
  • INTERNET: Allows applications to open network sockets.
  • RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.
  • VIBRATE: Allows access to the vibrator.
  • WAKE_LOCK: Allows using PowerManager WakeLocks to keep processor from sleeping or screen from dimming.
  • com.android.vending.BILLING
  • com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE
  • com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE
  • com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES
