### 4/5 — Great app with frequent updates as needed.

*2026-08-16*

Works very well and updates somewhat frequently as any issues come up, very responsive. 

Hoping for iPad support, this would change the game big time.

### 2/5 — Notifications

*2026-06-11*

Update: every notification I could possibly turn off is off. Last weekend I got over 20 auction notifications. Please look into this. The only option I have left is to block you and I don’t want to do that. 

Please take a look into notification settings. I tried using the toggle buttons to turn off some email notifications, but it didn’t work. I even tried pausing notifications and that didn’t work either. It’s really annoying.

### 3/5 — Notifications

Please take a look into notification settings. I tried using the toggle buttons to turn off some email notifications, but it didn’t work. I even tried pausing notifications and that didn’t work either. It’s really annoying.

### 4/5 — 6 months in review

*2026-04-06*

We tried out the site for buying then soon after selling . Verdict 4 buying : it’s a great experience and engaging with sellers since it’s still a newer site . We sometimes have an issue with finding specific seller / show  and  periodically a bit confusing since there are many stores to go into and navigation can use a tweak .

### 3/5 — What’s going on?

*2025-11-21, version 3.2.6*

Everytime I try to login, it tells me my pw or login is wrong. I have change it every time I log in now. Am I the only one?

Update: still happening. So frustrating!

### 3/5 — What’s going on?

*2025-10-21, version 3.0.4*

Ever time I try to login, it tells me my pw or login is wrong. I have change it every time I log in now. Am I the only one?

### 4/5 — Belissa’s Barn

*2025-09-25, version 2.99.5*

I have been a seller/customer on niknax.net for about a year and the customer service that District provides at their end has been absolutely amazing! I have been in retail sales in some form my whole adult life,the follow up on every issue and standards at niknax.net through the District app is second to none! Thank you Jocelyn “Crazy Lamp Lady” and District faculty for being so attentive to all who are a part of this community!

### 5/5 — The best!

*2025-03-26*

It’s wonderful when you find a like minded community.  Purchasing cards and beak spots are easy and it auto combines shipping.  So many districts to choose from.  If you have a hobby you’ll most likely find a place for yourself.

### 5/5 — The future of e-commerce

*2025-03-26*

I have been using this app for a while now, both as a seller and a buyer. It is my go to now for these wants and needs. Customer service is always top notch. They continue to grow and evolve with updates. Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Incredible Platform for Charity Events!

*2025-03-26*

District has been a game-changer for organizing and promoting my charity events. The app is user-friendly, making it easy to list items, manage auctions, and connect with supporters. The seamless payment processing and real-time bidding features ensure a smooth experience for both donors and buyers.

Thanks to this platform, I’ve been able to raise significant funds for important causes. If you’re looking for a reliable and efficient way to host fundraising events, I highly recommend District Marketplace!

### 5/5 — Fantastic community for sports cards

*2025-03-25*

I’m a member of a few of the sports cards communities and they have all been fantastic.  Good prices, and the community aspect makes it so the sellers are trustworthy people who are known, none of the shenanigans of eBay or WhatNot here.

### 5/5 — Changed the way I sell

*2025-03-08*

This app changed the way I sell. Get in with a good market place and you will do great. The community of people I’ve found here has been so much better than other live selling marketplaces

### 5/5 — Best shopping & selling App there is.

*2025-02-20, version 2.79.0*

Extremely easy to use. Great support. A++++.

### 5/5 — Love District!

*2025-01-11, version 2.75.1*

Great way to build community and sell cards. Easy to use and awesome features make buying, selling, shipping a breeze!

### 5/5 — Great community platform

*2025-01-10*

Happy to be able to build a community with the platform provided by District. Growing with them is amazing and eazy. An all in one platform where we can have chats, livestreams, a marketplace and much more! 5 stars!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Terrible Customer Support

*2026-01-19, version 3.2.16*

The admins of this app support Sellers who DON’T send there stuff out quickly

### 1/5 — Great platform but no android support.

*2025-11-29, version 3.2.7*

District has been promising for over a year but has failed to do so alienating a large group of possible buyers and sellers.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2025-08-18, version 2.96.1*

Cool app but it doesn’t let me bid at all on other peoples live auctions. It DID at first. Then I had to start refreshing the app until it would allow me to bid. Now even after uninstalling and restarting my phone it won’t let me bid. Cool app but really buggy.

### 1/5 — They steal your payment & ban without a warning

*2025-07-16*

Zero stars. Fraud company / app. As a seller, I listed authentic items in the districts I was approved to sell in. 100% real authentic items, like PSA trading cards and artwork, etc. Anyhow, I sold an item, shipped it, and the buyer was happy and they received it a few days later. Districts took my money before I could send to the bank and banned me and took down all my other listings. They are a fraud company and apple needs to ban them from the App Store NOW.

### 1/5 — Unfair platform

*2024-11-27*

I was a seller on the district sold few items and out of no where all my listings were removed. I contacted district support they told me they removed my account because my listing were reported as counterfeit. I have been in retail business for 10 years I work with many companies I was shocked to hear such bogus claims when I asked to provide details of how they made their conclusions no one replied to my email. Very disappointed with this platform and to be accused of such remarks as they had no proof where on my end I have all the invoices that I could have provided to resolve such accusations. On top of that they couldn’t even reply to me regarding their actions. I will not tolerate such accusations and I deleted my account on their platform. WARNING to other sellers who want to invest time in testing this platform out.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2024-06-16*

Sold an item, got paid for the item 10 days later. Buyer decided after receiving the item that it was broken. Didn’t send proof of packing. District is siding with the buyer without proof. The principal is for a seller to file a claim with the shipping service there needs to be proof of packing materials. District expects people to refund but doesn’t require proof needed to file a claim with the shipping service. If I could give them zero stars I would! Definitely won’t sell with them again.

### 1/5 — Seller Host Discrimination newcomers

*2024-06-10, version 2.42.1*

It seems like they discriminate certain types of sellers. they must feel threatened of competition 
I have been waiting. For two months can’t make money if you can’t post anything.
Tried to contact District support team. They don’t even acknowledge you have an issues. I haven’t yet gotten a response from them either. What a very poor way to treat newcomers.

### 1/5 — Can’t get any help from District Support if you need to return an item!

*2024-05-30, version 2.40.1*

Sellers don’t know what they are doing, and District Support isn’t any help. I had to dispute a charge with my credit card company on one item and it looks like I’ll have to do the same on 4 other items I can’t get any help with! Stick with Mercari! District isn’t it!

### 1/5 — Users beware

*2024-04-18, version 2.35.0*

This app is owned by a known scammer in the vintage clothing community. Use at your own risk.

### 1/5 — What are you doing? Got the app a few hours ago and I’m about to uninstall it already.

*2023-12-30*

I have been getting notification after notification despite repeatedly changing the settings and making sure the little “save” sign comes up. And every time it keeps going back to the default and I keep getting these notifications. It’s very annoying. It’s making me regret signing up.

### 5/5 — This company is so professional and professional

*2026-06-25*

I downloaded this app yesterday and I got to talk with the owner and co owner and they are such awesome professionals. Emailed me right away and helped me through my mistake on app. Just wanted to say thank you

### 5/5 — Best Auction Site Ever

*2026-01-06*

I love this place! I have been a member since Μarch and have been able to buy things that I have never seen before and also sold stuff to others. With the live and static auctions and buy it now sections you have all the options to fit your needs. This is only place I have ever been that offers everything you need!

### 5/5 — Finally found my tribe

*2025-11-18*

I have tried live selling on other platforms and for me this just fits perfectly. And you don’t have to bring a huge audience with ya to succeed. Bring good stuff and the people always will show up at some point. I’m excited to see what the future of the app holds.

### 5/5 — 5 Stars For A Reason

*2025-09-24*

My name is Jersey Boy Dano and I am a live auctioneer on NikNax going on 2 years now. I really enjoy being a part of this community of awesome people. Eddie & Ivan are so accommodating with every issue or question I have ever had large or small! I know when I contact District support that proper attention is always immediate. Thank you all so much. You rock!!!

### 5/5 — Fabulous App

*2025-09-24, version 2.99.4*

I am a reseller in Niknax.net and District is a wonderful and supportive application that helps all of us so much! Y’all are Awesome!

### 5/5 — Fantastic community for sports cards

*2025-09-19*

I’m a member of a few of the sports cards communities and they have all been fantastic.  Good prices, and the community aspect makes it so the sellers are trustworthy people who are known, none of the shenanigans of other platforms here

### 5/5 — Amazing team

*2025-08-19*

The support is top notch!  I requested a printable list of all of the items I purchased for my businesses. Jerson A. is superior! Intially, they didn't have such a feature but he stuck with it until he was able to email me the list! Wow I'm super impressed by the care and dedication they give to their customers! Jerson A. is a rock star!! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Best app!!!

*2025-06-13, version 2.92.2*

Best buying/selling app! Better than the 💛💛 🤭

### 5/5 — Amazing MarketPlace

*2025-03-26, version 2.86.0*

I love district!  One of the best marketplaces out there!

### 5/5 — Fantastic Community

*2025-03-26, version 2.86.0*

District has opened sellers to a new world of engagement, interacting as a community versus buyer/seller.  Communication on both sides is a tremendous help in satisfying both parties involved. And you get to share your hobbies with like minded people!
