  • Show + and - buttons if it is easier for you to set the rating.

Jul 19, 2022 — 8.0 New interface for saved cars

New interface

The list of saved cars and the saved car page have been redesigned!

This redesign comes with many improvements.

List improvements

• The date is displayed in the list, above the car names.
• Sorting:
  • The sort options have been redesigned. It is easier to see which option is active, as it is now visible at the top of the list, even when you scroll.
  • It is possible to change the sort order, i.e. ascending or descending.
  • Interactions between searching and sorting have been improved. A sorted list will remain sorted while you search through it, and you can even choose a different sort option then.
  • It is possible to sort the list while selecting cars, e.g. to remove cars with low scores.
• Other UI improvements and bug fixes.

Saved car page improvements

This page has been fully redesigned. Here are some of the major changes:

• The car name gets more space, for longer car names or smaller screens.
• Comments are visible and editable by expanding the general rating and criteria cards, by clicking the arrow next to the ratings. The general rating card is expanded by default if a comment is saved. A blue arrow means that a comment is saved.
• Each criterion has a bar to represent the score, letting you appreciate the qualities and weak points of a car at a glance.

Other changes

• It is now mandatory to migrate car data saved before version 3.6.0 of Car Rate. This will let you access the redesigned Car Rate and improved features.
• Fixed alignment issues in the contact form.
• Fixed some crashes when using the French version.

• Fix legacy saved car UI being opened from Search by Criterion and Comparison.
