Ratings and reviews

It's not terrible but it's not great either. It functions as intended, but. It does badger you to promote which costs a mint (although its entirely optional) but the biggest problem. It's barren. NO ONE is using it, there's one ad in a hundred mile radius. Not one search result, there is a single advert in the radius that I didn't put there myself. And the audience is similarly scarce. A buying and selling app with no buyers or sellers, you got to increase the user base or it's simply unusable.

it's easy to put adds on and photos - but getting messages via email just doesn't happen - it's why I was looking to see if there were any updates - sadly not - so someone has waited for a response over 10 hours as I didn't get message and guess they will feel they won't bother now! This is a frequent issue. we all busy and some of us working - so the messages are key to get through to sellers and buyers quickly otherwise what's the point !

edit. a lot of the problems mentioned below have been sorted. but they have replaced it with another problem. Amazon adds that pop up as you are scrolling deliberately so you click on them by accident diverting you to Amazon website. 'Like the app as a concept but the functionality is rubbish. Is crashes constantly. Posting and add sometimes is difficult as it get stuck. Has been really buggy for years and never seems to get resolved.' most of this has been fixed so have added extra star.
