### 1/5 — Hot Trash

*2022-11-10*

Like has been said before, probably one of my most used apps. But dang is it frustrating. Seems like the operation gets worse and worse. Now it’s at the point where it won’t load anything. Delete it and reinstall every time I go to use it, and it works momentarily. Seems like it’s progressively gotten worse over its lifetime. Lots of potential and functionality but it seems to work like the US government.

**Developer response:** Tom, we just released version 5.15.850, after a good long sprint of development and testing this last month.
Please consider updating to this version of the app and give it a try.   And if you're so inclined, please re-rate the app based on that experience.
Thank you!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2022-10-24, version 5.14.414*

Ever since this year’s earlier “updates” a mediocre app has become unusable. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — A lot of issues

*2022-10-23*

Half the time I’ll open the app up and search for something specific I won’t load the feed that I searched for. It just stays empty like if it’s loading but nothing happens.

**Developer response:** Uni, we JUST released a patch for the app today (which will fix your app once you fully restart your app). Can you please restart your app and confirm the issue is resolved? If you still are having issues, please call 7012220370 or email me personally at will@bismanonline.com. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Terrible App Bugs and Glitches

*2022-09-15, version 5.14.414*

App locks-up on iPad.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2022-09-14, version 5.14.414*

This app was developed by the same people that made the Florida voting machines

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2022-09-14*

This app almost always never works. either it forces quits by itself or just goes blank when you try to open an ad. Is almost useless lately.

### 1/5 — New app

*2022-09-10, version 5.14.414*

Works horrible. Not easy to use. Will not load full listings and pages. Cant set radius of distance. Sad sad sad new update

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2022-08-27, version 5.13.307*

The new update has basically made the app useless since it constantly locks up and doesn’t load.

### 1/5 — Gone to garbage

*2022-08-26, version 5.13.307*

This app has turned into the worst app on my absolute garbage. Either re-write it, or eliminate it all together

### 1/5 — Used to be good

*2022-08-26, version 5.13.307*

Time for a new app for the Bismarck/Mandan communities.  This one is on its deathbed.

### 1/5 — Freezing and crashing

*2022-08-24*

The service and function bisman provides for us is a great marketplace, and not to many can deny that. But the app is absolutely horrendous. Constantly crashing and freezing. ALOT of dead zones when you’re clicking when it’s not frozen or crashed. The recent update was amazing. For about a day or two. Then it got just as bad; if not worse; of a state it was in prior to the update. I’ve built and sold on contract, a handful of apps. The aggravation this one gives me, is slowly pushing me more and more into building a new marketplace.

### 1/5 — Fix bugs!!

*2022-08-23, version 5.13.307*

Used to be great. Now with new update it is terribly slow to load. Constantly bugs out and the buttons won’t work properly. Please fix!!

### 1/5 — BisManOnline needs work

*2022-08-11, version 5.13.307*

Instead of trying to get add revenue they need to work on getting their app to not crash all the time.

### 1/5 — Used to like it

*2022-08-10, version 5.13.307*

Recent updates have made this app basically unusable. I agree that time is what is needed to get to learn the app. But lockups and slow action are not the user’s fault.  Sorry I’m out for now.   Please get yourselves a competent programmer hired

### 1/5 — Long term user:

*2022-08-01, version 5.13.118*

I’ve used BisMan for years.  It used to be a good service.  Recent upgrades made the program unusable. What happened BisMan?

### 1/5 — Old app great! Newest Updates are trash

*2022-07-25, version 5.13.118*

Can’t search or do anything in the new app besides look at messages and post ads.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — App went from good to bad in Feb 2026

*2026-03-03*

Bisman Online is an app I use nearly daily and it has been very easy to use until February 2026, when they updated it so it’s inefficient for quick use, and every time I close the app, it requires logging in instead of keeping you signed in. I don’t know what was wrong with the previous version, but imo it’s a case of fixing something that wasn’t broken.

### 1/5 — New App Outdated

*2026-02-17, version 6.00.000*

The icon is not compatible with iOS26, no dark mode and ad that takes up 1/4 the screen. Seems whoever develops this app is always 5 steps behind the iOS standard.

### 1/5 — always signs you out

*2024-07-29*

i have had bisman for YEARS and almost everytime i click on an add i have to sign in again and if i try to go as a guest i can’t agree and accept to the terms because the button is off the page and you’re unable to scroll, i have no clue how this hasn’t been fixed in at least 6 years

### 1/5 — Can’t proceed past EULA

*2024-04-14, version 5.15.850*

It’s quite literally impossible to use this app as you can’t accept the EULA agreement!

### 1/5 — Horrible app!

*2023-10-24, version 5.15.850*

Either doesn’t open or stalls. How many times do you need to delete and reopen it just to not be able to get past the license agreement.

### 1/5 — Every update makes this app worse

*2023-03-19*

The latest update forces ads to full screen while scrolling. The ads are not even visible and then just randomly open after scrolling a few seconds. I understand you need ads, my issue is the implementation. 

At this point if I need to look at BisManOnline then the webpage is the only option. 

Device is iPhone 14 Pro Max.

**Developer response:** Hi, nicholas.
We just released version 5.15.850, and we have reverted our advertising back to just a footer ad for certain pages.  I think you'll find this version much improved over previous ones.  Please consider giving this new version a try, and if it makes a better impression on you, please consider updating your review and rating.
Thanks.

### 1/5 — Crash n burn.

*2023-03-07*

Constantly freezing up or clicking on a item and getting a blank screen. Has been like this off and on for the few years I’ve used it.

**Developer response:** Hi, Tom.
We just released version 5.15.850, which has fixed a bunch of issues which could cause what you are describing.  Please consider giving this new version a try, and if it makes a better impression on you, please consider updating your review and rating.
Thanks.

### 1/5 — Update

*2022-12-20, version 5.14.414*

Account works, but nothing is listing, nowhere to enter search. Ads don’t even work, which is…..really?

### 1/5 — Locks up Constantly

*2022-12-05*

Like the App but it continues to lock up during searches, viewing an ad and when performing other tasks. Sometimes only a phone reboot is the only way out of a frozen state. It is the only one of my apps that locks…

### 1/5 — Love bisman hate the app

*2022-11-19*

They completely messed up this app. Location doesn’t work has me 700 miles away from where I live.  Can’t enter the location I want to search for. Waste of time to download the app. Better off going on the website. The adds constantly block what your trying to click on. Absolutely trash!!!

**Developer response:** Remmy, we JUST released a patch for the app today (which will fix your app once you fully restart your app). Can you please restart your app and confirm the issue is resolved? If you still are having issues, please call 7012220370 or email me personally at will@bismanonline.com. Thank you.

*2019-10-02*

I’ve been using this app for two years now no issues. If you have an issue it’s USER ERROR. I never write reviews, but I got a new phone and am downloading it again and saw that it only has 2.8 stars?!? It deserves at least 4, if not 5.

*2026-01-18*

### 2/5 — Poor

*2025-04-05*

I love bisman but this app is terrible a lot of bugs or glitches. Won’t open just says connecting, sometimes it will open but show nothing in my feed. I’ve tried to add/delete categories from my feed but continues to show things I don’t want to see

### 2/5 — This app needs work

*2022-09-20, version 5.14.414*

Love Bisman but ever since they re-launched the App it’s been terrible. It crashes, freezes, and glitches frequently.
