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.

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...
