Wyper - the Tinder of car shopping. Ever heard of it?

[Jeff Kershner]

If you're not familiar Tinder, it's somewhat of a dating app where you're presented a photo and short description of someone and you swipe left for Yes or right for No. Or something like that. Anyways, these type of apps seem to all the craze right now. At least up until a few weeks ago, before Pokemon.

Anyways, Aaron Rosenthal (me and Aaron go way way back) just introduced "Tinder of car shopping" - Wyper.



"Wyper is putting the mobile car shopping experience in the fast lane with the first-of-its-kind swipeable mobile search application for buying and selling vehicles. Buckle up, car shopping just got a whole lot faster".

Here's a write up of Wyper on techcrunch.

Download the app and give it whirl....er.... Wype:
iOS users - https://appsto.re/us/TPiB6.i
Andriod user - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.au.to.wyper

I'm sure Aaron will peek his head in here at some point and drop some material.

What do you think? Yea or Nay

@Jeff Kershner thanks for posting something around Wyper here on DealerRefresh.

After over a decade building websites for car dealers, I decided to start a new company that focused on consumers looking for cars…

Wyper learns which cars you like and stops showing you ones you don't ... It's that simple.

Highlights:

• largest organic index of used cars
• automotive machine learning (AI)
• drives traffic to vdp’s
• aggregated seller reviews
• in-app communication
• demographic reporting to dealers
  
• best-in-class analytics
• buyer-seller transparency

We want to be sure your inventory is listed on Wyper, our basic listings are FREE.

We just started to promote the app as we get ready to launch Wyper 1.0, we had over 1 million swipes in our first full month, users liked over 200,000 cars, over 50,000 VDP visits, 15,000+ new installs in June alone (with ZERO advertising)

We’d also like to get your feedback on how we can improve the app for you guys… Thanks, Aaron

Tried emailing the listed email address, return to sender. Only comments on android page are "crashes" or "does not load." No information easily accessible about adding inventory to listings. Sounds like a cool idea.

@jbarron We had some overload a few weeks and had to scale our infrastructure to google a few weeks ago and got a few negative reviews... we still have a 4.6 out of 5 with a beta product which is more then the other guys... Give the app a try it, the machine learning is just starting to kick in and the recommendation accuracy rate is going up by multiple percent each month. We survey over 100 users a week, the app is getting better with each weekly build.

Wait till you see what we have in 2.0

you can reach me @ aaron (at) wyper.co (not .com)
