Ratings and reviews

There's a very annoying bug where when you zoom in on pictures, it won't let you pan left or right and instead moves to the next picture. This makes it very hard to get a closer look at the condition of used gear. The app should not allow you to change pics when zoomed in. I have no complaints besides that, and I overall like the app and enjoy using it.

Lots of great stuff on Reverb, but support is a joke. Issues are dealt with from a chat center somewhere in South Asia, and the chat app is designed to drop your chat session the instant you leave the app in the background. Took HOURS to resolve a very simple issue. Chat support seems, at best, to be an afterthought... at worst, it could be designed to frustrate pesky customers seeking the attention of an actual person.

Reverb is a good service and you get good deals on used gear there, but the app feels like it works against you oftentimes. You cannot filter out "local pickup only" listings, which are just filler on the page if you can't get to them. There is also no way to filter out international listings, either. They recently pushed an update so that it doesn't show shipping price/availability of any kind in the search results, which it used to, now you must view the listing to see the shipping.
