Old version was way better

The new version is all over the place, having a hard time posting ads due to them getting repeatedly flagged for some reason (never had that issue with the old version, over the course of 10 years and hundreds of ads posted). I’m sure I’ll get used to the new version, however, I wish there was still a way to use the old layout, it was way more intuitive.

Not good

App doesn’t work on data. All you get is the perpetual wheel of shame. When you use it on wifi the content is boring at best and amateurish.

It’s about time lol. Unpolished

The old app was horribly old.
This app is a huge upgrade.
It has a number of unpolished and unintuitive things. I haven’t spent much time in the app.
Text fields don’t auto capitalize for one. Spelling corrections I think is an issue. When you are logged in and want to message someone, you have to enter a name, you are already logged in. Nope, it says name, you have to enter an email address. I AM ALREADY LOGGED IN! The old app didn’t have this problem.

No recent search history, except maybe the last one, yet doesn’t auto delete if you start to type. Search bar not intuitive.

Video Glitch

I tried to watch a video but got stock in it. I couldn’t get back to castanet main menu. For years, I never had a problem with that app. This refresh has glitches. I have given up on the app for my tablet. Landscape mode is terrible. The window gets so small, I can’t see the words. It will not allow me to log in, unless I don’t use the app. This app is not for ipad.

Terrible on iPad now

All of a sudden when you press the back arrow, the app becomes a small window and you have to close it completely and restart it. And no more sliding to the next story. Please fix!
