I've been a long time user of this app/website and are exhausted buy this search tab. I haven't used the app in a while and have just continued updating it but my recent experience left me frustrated. This basic search has no intelligence to it. Searching for some simple stuff has lead to to rather stay on Facebook market. Performing a general search brings you either up zero items or nothing related to it. These weren't items that I difficult to find for example, backpack. Fix it please.

I'm constantly struggling with this app. Something always ends up not working or just stops. I out an ad up, and while it pended it must have stopped and instead of saying there was an error, it deleted the ad. Notifications don't stay consistent even when enabled. Saved searches are almost always bugged. They ask you to verify your identity with your I.D but I haven't had luck in getting the scanner to even try and scan! Gumtree is beyond frustrating.

I got the app for my business and I've been selling for awhile now. but the app hasn't allowed me to post adds for the last 2 weeks! I've tried everything and nothing is working. They don't tell me what's wrong or anything the add just doesn't get posted
