| 2024-11-25 |  | | The app mostly works but there is a bug with search notifications, literally the only feature I care about in the app. If you have searches saved with different cities and distances, clicking on the notifications doesn't load the results. Instead you are given whatever the last search city and distance you did and zero results. The workaround is to not click on the notifications and instead open the app, got to saved searches, then click the one that you just got a notification. It's a big bug. |
| 2024-11-10 |  | | The app is pretty easy to navigate making it pretty user friendly. The only issue I've found is when I try to scroll through the pictures of the listing is more often than not, no [⁶ how careful it will scroll to the next post. It's pretty minor, but it's still pretty annoying. Otherwise it's a great app! |
| 2024-10-10 |  | | had to drop a couple of stars off the review rating because you can't stay where you are it always refreshes and starts you over. experience is far better than the other apps that came along to use for craigslist. The user experience is really nice smooth and easy to navigate through. The one thing I hate about craigslist is their removal of stuff you may have saved and you can't even see it no more. it will come up as item expired and you can't even go to it for a reference anymore |
| 2024-09-18 |  | | Craigslist has been around for a while and has had its ups and downs. But lately I found that Craigslist is hitting all the marks that I've been looking for. The free section is amazing. So many people are giving away electronics furniture you name it. I've noticed a lot of people moving and can't take things with them. I've gotten so many great items for free on Craigslist I can't believe some of the items I've gotten. The music instrument section is pretty affordable and reasonable too. Thanks |
| 2024-09-13 |  | | A lot of people say that Craigslist is a thing of the past but I've had some pretty good success with both selling and buying items. Marketplace is annoying with people asking if something is available and you never hear anything. All of my Craigslist transactions have been a positive experience. The app also works really well. |
| 2024-05-25 |  | | The app is trash. It's super glitchy. It has phantom clicks: opens pictures for no reason without me pressing buttons, brings up a menu to "save to downloads" for no reason without me clicking on anything at all. All while I'm just trying to browse. It happens a lot, it wastes my time a lot because it significantly increases the amount of time it takes to simply look at listings. If I'm not clicking on stuff, I shouldn't have to waste time backing out of stuff back to back to back again & again |
| 2024-01-18 |  | | *edit* A year and a half later and the previous issues seem to be fixed; the app works as it should and is more convenient than using it on PC. Can't really ask for more. "Credibility check failed." is now preventing me from using the app. Before that the main problem was you can never switch to any app or window without it losing it's place and bringing you back to the home screen, very frustrating. |
| 2023-11-23 |  | | When you download the app, it changes some of the view and format, not only for the app but also for the web. Before I downloaded the app, I was using Craigslist on the web. When you went into the cars and trucks section, your thumbnail or gallery would show the mileage on most vehicle. When you download the app the mileage is no longer visible unless you go into the ad. This happens both on the web and the app. Sent an inquiry to Craigslist with no response. That's the reason for the low score. |
| 2023-05-21 |  | | Quirky, frustrating to navigate, and when you go to swipe left to see a picture of what you want to look at, the app instead takes you to the next listing instead many times. It needs a dead space that's larger for scrolling while in an ad, and leave only the farthest edges for moving to next listing. Also zooming in and out is clunky, jumps you into other pictures too easily when you just want to look at the details of a single photo instead. It's just plain sloppy UI, needs some work. |
| 2023-04-09 |  | | Occasionally loads, usually doesn't. Shows items that have been removed from the website, alerts on replies are hit or miss. Randomly restarts. I've done all the normal "fixes", and nothing changes. Another app that was designed to gather downloads, with no concern for whether it actually functions. Uninstalled, might reinstall if they push another update out to see if it's changed. |
