Looking for Feedback ----> CarDealster - the iPhone app for car salespeople

Hi @JameyJ !

Thanks for the comment, CarDealster is currently fullly built out, ready to scale, but sitting on a shelf, taken down from the App Store. We got plenty of salespeople to download and use the app, but only very few used the tool. Likely there were critical pieces missing, prior to AI automation opportunities, but I will always believe in the concept. Maybe revisit at some point with @Jeff Kershner's help!
 

✨ AI Highlights

George Nenni introduced CarDealster, an iPhone app built for car salespeople featuring VIN scanning, NHTSA recall data, and vehicle specs, and asked the DealerRefresh community for feedback during its soft launch. The app received encouraging responses and some early testers, but Nenni later revealed it was pulled from the App Store after failing to gain sustained adoption — most salespeople who downloaded it didn't continue using it. He attributed the low engagement to missing features and acknowledged that AI capabilities now available could make a future version more viable.
