User reviews

Only crashes

The latest update for this application seems to just crash every time you accept the agreement that it needs to look up the eBay store.

Camera broken

Since the last update I cannot add fotos using the camera. Only select fotos from specific albums

Pretty good

This app does the job it needs to do very well. You can quickly and easily scan items, take photos, and then load them into the Mac app.

My only 2 issues are firstly, on the largest iPhones (ie. the Max/Pro Max) the ‘done’ button at the bottom when adding images is pretty much off the screen. It is still selectable, but not very easily.

My second issue is the icons on the main screen are not immediately intuitive. The ‘burger menu’ icon in the top right doesn’t actually open a menu, it puts all items into ‘delete mode’. This should probably instead be a button that just says ‘edit’ or ‘delete’ which would make more sense. And the button in the bottom left is the button to load items from the iPhone to the Mac… but it’s the standard ‘share’ button on iOS… which feels odd… I have to think about it every time I need to do it as I expect the ‘share menu’ to pop up with that icon!

All in all though, a good app that is very useful!

What’s the point of this app?

Stopped working with 14.2

YOU NEED TO UPDATE YOUR SOFTWARE! I just updated my phone, and Garage sale scout stopping working with iOS 14.2. It now will only crash when attempting to open. If the is a permanent abandonment of the scout software, I would be forced to abandon the Garage Sale platform entirely.
