### 1/5 — Horrible

*2020-09-07*

You can’t even sign up without a CU email address! Get this app off the store!

**Developer response:** Hi,

Thanks for letting us know how you feel about the app. We value all feedback! 

We changed our name to CollegeMarket from TradeStuff, so hopefully that helps convey that this app is for college students. Also, we’re working on expanding to more universities in January 2021!

Best,

CollegeMarket Team

### 1/5 — No shipping option or allowing sellers outside of CU

*2020-07-15*

I was interested in the app to potentially sell off random items I had but the first issue is that unless you attend at CU, they won’t let you sign up on the app. The second is that in a world where Mercari exists providing a safe way for people to sell items via shipping, this app doesn’t have that option. Heck even Offerup which was known for solely meeting people has embraced shipping for local and nationwide selling thus increasing the likelihood of an item being sold. I hope this app will add that option in the near future for sellers and won’t be limited to one college. Until then, I will be deleting this app.

**Developer response:** Hello,

Thank you for your thoughtful, candid feedback! Unfortunately, the premise of our app is based on buying and selling with students on campus. We are working on shifting our branding to make that more obvious as well as expanding to other campuses this fall! 

In terms of shipping, we are looking at different options to be able to offer that functionality! 

We appreciate your review and hope you have a great rest of your day!

Best,
TradeStuff Team

### 1/5 — Non students can download

*2020-04-04*

Non students don’t have access to the app

**Developer response:** Hello, 

Firstly, non-students will be able to download the app because there’s no way for us to verify whether or not the user is a student until they login with their school credentials. We apologize if it was unclear that it is a marketplace for students and we will work on making that more clear in the future. Again, sorry for the confusion and have a nice day!

Best,

### 5/5 — The bomb.com

*2020-10-20, version 2.0.0*

Used this app for 2 minutes and realized it was for me.  The college market app is easy and simple to connect with people and sell your stuff.

### 5/5 — Awesome!!

*2020-06-06*

This app is so easy to use and makes me feel safe while using it! Because it’s just for students I feel comfortable using and posting! It’s an awesome platform that I’ve been looking for!!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2020-06-06*

It’s such an intuitive app to use and I like the interface. It’s also a cool color scheme

### 5/5 — Fire

*2020-02-18*

Fire app really easy to use.

### 5/5 — This app is not a burger joint

*2020-02-18*

At first I was very disappointed to find that this app did not sell burgers! However I am changing my one star review to a FIVE star review because someone sold me a good burger for 4$ from their house. Not only did I make a friend but I got my burger as well. Very satisfied. Great and unique app!

### 5/5 — Tradestuff knows where it’s at

*2020-02-18*

Good concept, Cleeeaan interface :)

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-02-18*

### 5/5 — Great idea!

*2020-02-16*

So easy to find what I’m looking for and I can connect with other students on campus!

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2020-02-15*

As a CU student, I’m excited to see how I can use this app to get some books without spending as much$ as the bookstore and I’d rather help out a fellow student. I hope I can connect in with others for help with tutoring like the one I already found for help in chemistry.  I think it’s called Madison’s Chemistry on YouTube.
