Ratings and reviews

the new update is terrible. the items available never load properly. the app itself crashes often and I have to hard close the app to get it working again, it only works 50% of the time. If I select an item to look at further I am unable to go back to the place I was in my search. I have to scroll back through to find my place and the item pictures then disappear. when that happens I also have to reload the app.

This app has never worked super well, but since the big overhaul, the app only works sporadically, and even when it does, not well. Can't log in with the Gmail option because it opens an authentication page and then goes right back to the login screen once the authentication is complete. On the off chance I can log in, messages don't notify or can't be cleared. After the big overhaul, every post you've ever submitted became active again, so there was no way of knowing which were actually active

this app used to be great but it has progressively gotten buggier and buggier. I've missed multiple pickups because I am no longer getting ANY notifications despite having all notifs turned on, and uninstalling and reinstalling the app. i ended up having to exchange numbers to get the pickup done even though that can be very unsafe. the person who came for the pickup said they have been having the same issue and have noticed posts decreasing bc of the inefficiency.
