### 1/5 — Buggy

*2022-02-24*

Has some annoying bugs. I am using IOS15 on a iPhone 11, first bug was there when I opened the App, it would only show half of the screen. Had to restart the phone to fix… second one was when I tried to add a Product and search images from my library, the ‘Search from my library’ button wouldn’t work, even after I had given full access to my photos. I restarted the phone, reinstalled the App and ended up not working anyway. I decided to remove the App.

### 1/5 — Would love to use the app to sell but can’t upload photos

*2022-02-16*

I’ve been trying to sell a Roller on this app but I cannot upload any pictures, really is quite a shame

### 2/5 — Please for the love of god

*2020-05-11*

Please for the love of god add notifications. I don’t just sell on this platform and nearly sold a part that already sold on here due to not getting notifications. WE NEED MESSAGE and SOLD NOTIFICATIONS PLEASE. This app could really be something if the developers would rescue it!

### 4/5 — Great app just needs some tweaks

*2019-08-26*

I love this app, I’m able to find a good amount of what I need for my build. However, I’d say 1 in 5 attempts to purchases something, it’s a success. Most of the time I don’t get a response (or give one in my own stuff) since this app does’t send message notifications. If that worked I’m sure more people would think to check their messages here instead of having to remember. There ya go, my 1st world problems for today.

### 1/5 — Better but still not perfect

*2019-08-03*

At the urging of the developers to try this app again, I did. I gave it one more star than my first review. Originally, they keyboard wouldn’t disappear after using the search function. It disappears now but you can’t select the last item brought up by the search. When you scroll down all the way, you have to keep dragging down to make it appear. When it does appear, you can’t open it. 

The app is getting there slowly but surely. This version is definitely better than the first one.

Update: this app is still horrible. You still can’t get to all of the search listings. The app won’t scroll all the way down. Obviously the devs have a lot of friends leaving great reviews. Don’t waste your time with this app.

**Developer response:** You should try out the newest version of Cycledope. It should address many of the problems you've had with the app. Thanks for using Cycledope!

### 3/5 — Good not Great

*2019-06-11*

Unless I am missing something there is no way to configure it to display results with in a specific geographic location!  I am not going to pay shipping for a bike on the other side of the country yet I have to open every single listing to find where it’s located and 95% are no where close, so I am just wasting my time clicking!

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2019-01-22*

The developer refuses to fix the major issues with this app, so almost everything posted has been purchased already. Then when you go back it takes you to the top of the list again. The keyboard stays up while you’re scrolling so you can’t view the last few items. 

How hard could it be to fix these issues and have a 5 star app? Just do it already.

**Developer response:** You should try out the newest version of Cycledope. It should address many of the problems you've had with the app. Thanks for using Cycledope!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2018-12-19*

I love the idea of this app and have made sales and purchases with it. The only thing I see that still is a bit of a pain is that messages are not coming through right, I can’t delete old ones, and randomly I will get a new order notification for something  I sold months ago. Good work Eric. I’ll be patient. It’s a great platform.

### 5/5 — Great app! Easy to use and way better than eBay!

*2018-10-20*

User friendly and convenient. Everything is buy it now, so you don't have to wait plus you don't have any fees! A LOT of awesome hard to find parts on here. Five stars all the way!

### 1/5 — Scam Much?

*2018-08-10*

Let’s say I go to buy an item. I click buy. Then it pulls up an old address on my PayPal. I click to change and it shows a random dudes email address that says he owns the account and address on that file and you need to go through his email to change it. This happened with me, my two friends and my lady all attempting to buy random things on the site? What in the hell is up with this.

**Developer response:** You should try out the newest version of Cycledope. It should address many of the problems you've had with the app. Thanks for using Cycledope!
