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.

The newer updated app is much worse and user unfriendly than the previous version. Puts me off using it. Also spamming with search alerts daily, despite unsubscribing from them multiple times. Only way to stop getting search alert emails is to block the emails. Why have qn unsubscribe option for saved searches if it's ignored and continue to send them.

Useless app, I have had to bookmark this site off the Web, I paid for my ad to be 'spotlighted' seems a waste of money on this app. All items local to me ie, 30 miles and still not showing on the app, I keep getting a message that it can't find my location as well even though my location is turned on. I am getting my money's worth on the Web though, it is showing up on there, I am ditching this stupid app.
