Why do you guys keep doing that? I got Olive and Pumpkin, by being able to type in what I was looking for etc. now it’s all messed up and I can only search by pressing unnecessary buttons making the process long and a waste of time. I’d like to get a third dog but most likely won’t use this app because of their issues sticking with a specific search engine. Your app was great until you kept changing it! ### 2/5 — Baaaad app *2024-05-03* I use Hoobly online often for livestock selling and purchasing…figured I’d check out the app but man, it’s rough. Tons of ads (I’d pay a small fee to remove them), you can’t drill down properly to locations and categories, it just jumps it all over the place. The website isn’t the “best” either but it works and does what I need. I’ll use the app as a messaging system at this point but for browsing and such, not worth it. ### 2/5 — Soooo many ads *2023-12-01* So many ads it’s just not worth it, you might as well go to the website, also, it does not always show all of the listings a user has available if they have more than two or three. The app definitely needs more work less ads. ### 2/5 — The ad has way too much advertising *2023-10-19* I have used the website in Safari many times - and find it very frustrating and it has a lot of advertising - I would guess 70% of the listing are sponsored ads. They dragged all that over to the app and the added even more advertising. As much of a pain as the website is this app is terrible. ### 2/5 — One of the worst apps *2023-07-18, version 3.8* Few search options, and then fairly frequently stops giving you access to the few search options there are. Just… ugh. Always a frustrating experience. ### 2/5 — What happened to the app? *2023-04-12* I use to go to app and pick the state and town. Then pick categories. Not anymore. I have this big blue box at top and no where to pick my states or categories. What gives? Also I use to like where they put the dates the ads were posted so I could find the newest, and that stopped long along. What good is an ad from last December for me? It really needs dates to let me know if I’m wasting my time. App has just gone to pot in last 6 months. I do not recommend at all anymore. I use to love it and use it often. But I’m deleting app. ### 2/5 — Needs some work… *2022-11-16* I love Hoobly. I’ve used it for years to sell my bullies. Only issue is that there is a lot of hateful people that like to message you but you can’t block them in any way. As well as not getting phone notifications and only email notifications. Most times when I open the app, an ad will pop up and when it’s cleared the entire app is frozen making me have to close it out and then log back in. Please fix these issues!!! ### 2/5 — Please fix filters *2022-05-23, version 3.2* It’s a great place to find what you’re looking for. But please add filters for posts. Such as sorting by location,price etc. it’s so annoying when I get excited about a post just to see it’s across the country ### 2/5 — Frustrating *2022-05-21* This app is veryFrustrating to use because they continually have pop-up advertising. Then they don’t have anything on the ads so that you can close them out so you constantly have to get pushed to the ad and then back to the app I will not use this app ever again!!! ### 1/5 — Ugh sooo many issues *2022-04-30, version 3.0* Ads every 2 seconds and now I can’t even open the app - which is the only reason I put up with the rest. ### 1/5 — Won’t even open *2022-04-28, version 3.0* As soon as I tap on the app to open it, it brings up a white screen then closes ### 2/5 — Not working *2022-04-28, version 3.0* What’s wrong with the app every time I click on it it just goes blank? It doesn’t even open up ### 1/5 — New update crashes 4-27-2022 *2022-04-27, version 3.0* Upon opening the app crashes ### 3/5 — Price *2022-03-28, version 2.1* Wish I could advance search by price. ### 2/5 — Website *2022-03-12* Right now I was trying to update my pics for my ad and I’ve been redirected to a Camero website a rate this app listing and some other rating, I agree with the guy who popped up unexpectedly, get redirected, and if I don’t check the ad I miss buyers because I rarely get notified of buyers from the site itself, on the fence! Not on the fence- this site is the pits! ### 1/5 — Worthless *2022-01-24, version 2.1* App constantly freezes. Worthless use of memory on your phone. Just use the regular website. ### 1/5 — Ads are horrible *2021-07-18, version 2.1* Makes it virtually unusable ### 1/5 — Password reset *2021-06-16, version 2.1* How can i reset my password when its asking for my current password if i knew my current password I wouldn’t be asking to have it be reser smh 🤦‍♂️ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Constant problems *2026-04-01, version 5.5* I keep getting bad IP notices no matter which device I use or app vs website. No other site gives me problems! ### 1/5 — SCAM *2025-12-21, version 5.4* They want your credit card to activate the account and it says no charge. Yet they tried to charge my card 3 different times for 3 different things $2 each time. Very scammy ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-12-13* This site is a scam. They used to be a reputable site but they’ve sold out. They stole money from my bank, I wouldn’t recommend giving them your information or paying for an ad. They fake the ads and don’t even hold up their end. I’ve been disputing chat with my bank for over a month. They sell your phone number as well so run away ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-06-09, version 4.7* This app used to be wonderful for searching for pets and such however it’s literally all ads at this point. To even look at one listing I have to go through 3 ads and it’s just not worth it anymore. ### 1/5 — Awful *2024-11-24, version 4.2* App used to be easy to navigate and find things . Now it’s ad after ad and worst app ever to navigate through ### 1/5 — Have to close app every time *2023-05-01, version 3.6* I have to close the app every time I’m done looking at an add because it won’t let me go back. ### 1/5 — Problems with the app *2023-04-22, version 3.6* It doesn’t allow you to post, read msgs or classified’s. It just gives you one screen and it’s half. It’s like it’s froze and the app doesn’t need to be updated. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2022-10-01* Hoobly was a good app in the past that I used for puppies but now you can’t do anything without ads popping up every couple seconds. The traffic and responses from listings I get now are also very little. Something has changed in the last couple days and now I can’t even get to my messages or my listings… ### 1/5 — This hoobly update is garbage *2022-09-30, version 3.3* Ah his one if the worse update now it won’t let you refresh your ads 👎👎👎👎 ### 1/5 — If you love ads *2022-07-18, version 3.2* I have used a lot of apps over the years and by far this is the worst app I have ever seen. Totally useless to try to find anything. To bad 1 star is the lowest rating ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I’ve gotten both my dogs from Hoobly but. (Edit) *2025-07-21* this place is the best at finding puppies, when they don’t change the search engines! Why do you guys keep doing that? I got Olive and Pumpkin, by being able to type in what I was looking for etc. now it’s all messed up and I can only search by pressing unnecessary buttons making the process long and a waste of time. I’d like to get a third dog but most likely won’t use this app because of their issues sticking with a specific search engine. Your app was great until you kept changing it! Edit: I see they changed the app to being able to search! Thank you thank you, I was able to get a third puppy. I personally like to get mixed Puppies, so it’s hard to find without a search being included so I appreciate it. ### 5/5 — Best App *2024-11-24* This app is perfect for adopting or selling puppies. So many other apps want money up front because they’re just a cash grab or a scam. Other sites flag the ads constantly to the point that they’re unsafe like Craigslist. I have never had a bad experience meeting anyone from Hoobly. I recommend it if you’re looking to adopt a puppy. It makes it easier for breeders to be transparent which makes it safer for buyers. Craigslist makes it to where everyone has to lie to appease the “flaggers” and it’s so anonymous to the point that it’s not safe anymore. All of their anti-breeding propaganda makes it impossible for regular people to even rehome a puppy at literally any price, even FREE 🙄 I just thought I’d share that because if you’re just searching Craigslist you would have no idea how hard it is for posters get a post to stay up. ### 5/5 — GREAT!! omg *2020-01-18, version 2.1* so like- ive been using this app for a few months (bc im a pet lover and its like a whole zoo) im constantly scrolling on the cute lil pets. i got a sun conure from this app and hes doin good as he can be! ### 5/5 — Question *2019-06-30, version 2.1* From last week hoobly is not working on iPhone 7Plus. ### 5/5 — Aggravations *2018-09-26* When I try to login to the app it just tells me to verify my email once I do that I tried to log back in and it just keeps repeating the same thing ### 5/5 — Updated last year, 16 reviews *2018-05-27, version 2.1* Why did you guys give up? ### 5/5 — Love the app *2018-04-18, version 2.1* I love the Hoobly app just wish they would make it easier to use for quicker use ### 5/5 — Great *2017-06-21, version 2.1* I've used this app to find my last two dogs! ### 5/5 — Sold in days!! *2016-10-20, version 1.5* Awesome app!! ### 4/5 — Great app *2020-07-26, version 2.1* I left a star off because I think there should be a way of leaving feedback and reviews about where and who you bought from.
