### 1/5 — No good

*2026-01-26*

To many people trying to scam on this app

### 1/5 — Bleh

*2025-12-19*

Charging for a relatively new app doesn’t want or make more people in your area join so kinda sucks

### 1/5 — Bot central

*2025-11-06*

When I first came across this app I was thinking 
“Okay an alternative to FBMP, Offer Up, and other similar selling places what could go wrong?” Almost 3 months pass with 1000+ views on both of my current listings and yet zero inquiries with only one message that ended up being a flake and a few followers that mean nothing I wonder why that could be the case it’s almost as if this app is mainly occupied by bots with the occasional human user floating around I’m giving this app one last shot before I delete it and write it off as another false promise in an app that I hoped could get me some money in sales

### 1/5 — Having issues logging in

*2025-03-31*

Why

### 1/5 — Great idea bad app

*2025-03-07*

I tried listing an item and it won’t upload photos…

When you enter in into the phones keyboard stays in the way so you can see what’s under it and you have to click on other areas to get out

This app also has annoying ads

If you look at the 5 star reviews they are clearly paid for as they are reviews for video games and other things. 

In which they should have paid better for accurate reviews.

### 1/5 — Problem

*2023-08-03*

I NEED MY ACCOUNT BACK PLEASE I HAVE MY BUSSINES THERE

### 1/5 — This relationship didnt last 5 minutes

*2023-07-17*

Went to sign up for an account using my iCloud email. Verified it. Went to register and and it wont let me register. It is telling me to use gmail yahoo or even aol for crying out loud. So I tried to change it to another email. It wont let me. Apple should ban this app from the app store. Unbelievable.

### 2/5 — Too slow

*2025-10-09*

Slow

### 2/5 — Dumb

*2025-02-07*

If I wanted to use a credit card I would sign up for eBay

**Developer response:** Hi, we think you are reviewing the wrong app? FleaMarketBay app lets you sell to buyers and buy from sellers with no fees, it’s 100% free! You can list items as you want with 0% selling commission. We built this app for the community, so the core features are completely free. We offer cheap subscription for enhanced experience, but not required.

### 2/5 — Disable Account

*2023-11-20*

I recently was trying to buy a couple products from my new account and one was fine but the other seller seemed like a scam so I didn’t follow through with it. I then tried logging back into my account and it gave me “your account is disabled” notification. No way to reach out for support beside here in the App Store. What’s going on?

### 5/5 — great alternative to the big apps

*2025-05-20*

I like Flea market bay it’s great alternative to the big apps like OfferUp, Mercari, Push-mark, and Craigslist but it’s modern it’s free which is good but they don’t support shipping or transaction basically good for local communities, or maybe list item here and redirect them to your own eBay or store, love the freedom

### 5/5 — Smooth and straightforward

*2025-04-23*

Nice and easy to use, highly recommended

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2023-11-28*

It’s a beautiful day

### 3/5 — Not my first choice

*2026-08-03*

There is literally an ad every time you post something every time you read a message. There are way too many scammers on here.
