These app developers need some training ### 1/5 — app full of scammers *2026-06-26, version 3.2.5* i tried to sell my ipad and monitor on this app and all i got was scammers texting me under annoynomus accounts with names like fred or paul or even jessica and they allways say they need my email and phone number and just waste my time don’t recomend this app for selling anything ### 1/5 — Scams and ads *2026-06-25, version 3.2.5* The app is unusable. Immediately scammed and can’t do anything as every click or swipe on the app leads to an add. Apple should get rid of this app as it is obviously a method of scamming people. ### 1/5 — It’s all scam messages *2026-06-21, version 3.2.5* Got nothing but scam messages, EVERY SINGLE ONE. A lot of ads. Nothing will sell. ### 2/5 — Great App but needs security *2026-06-21, version 3.2.5* Too many scammers needs more security and legitimate offers ### 1/5 — The app is bad *2026-06-20, version 3.2.5* There was a lot of scammers and ads I don’t recommend ### 1/5 — Scammers *2026-06-19, version 3.2.5* Every body in this app is a scammer ### 1/5 — Block all the people that wanna buy stuff for me *2026-06-19, version 3.2.5* Facebook marketplace unblock me from making money every time there was a notification for me. It was blocked but Facebook marketplace Facebook marketplace sucks. ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2026-06-12, version 3.2.5* This is a scam app with to many ads x I came on here yesterday was told it was legit by a friend x I have had 2 messages to say that one of my items is reserved & I should send my bank details for the seller to get this & the other one is sold & I should also send my bank details so the seller can have this which I’m not gonna do x once my items have sold I’m deleting the app x ### 1/5 — THIS APP IS TERRIBLE AND MAKES YOU UPGRADE OR BUY PREMIUM JUST TO SELL YOUR ITEMS. TERRIBLE *2026-06-11, version 3.2.5* IF I COULD DO 0 STARS I WOULD IN A HEARTBEAT ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2026-06-10, version 3.2.5* Do not get this app, constant pop ups, and ad after every single thing you click. Messages not working or sending, probably fake listings and scams. Not worth it, don't waste your time and especially not your money. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-06-08, version 3.2.5* Constant ads and many many scammers! ### 1/5 — Dookie app *2026-06-05, version 3.2.5* The app is an extreme disgrace to all who dare download it you cant even post a single listing why you ask?? I DONT KNOW YOU JUST CANT ALL IT TELLS YOU IS - “error posting listing” like I just wanted to sell my god forsaken cabinets that are taking up too much space in my property BUT NOOOOOOO you want to flood your app with ads so every 5 seconds I have to press the X On the corner of the screen like 10 times in order to get back to finishing up my listing that I can’t even POST! Literally would rather wipe an elderly women’s behind then use this app, this concludes my experience. ### 1/5 — Scammers site *2026-06-05, version 3.2.5* Filled with scammers and the ads are just way too much,i almost got scammed by i think a community of expert scammers,careful with this app ### 1/5 — My review *2026-05-31, version 3.2.4* It’s super useless ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No genuine buyers, all scammers. *2026-08-17, version 3.3.0* If you’re looking to sell your items here. DO NOT install this app any means necessary. There’s no actual buyers in this app, and if you do they’re 99% a scammer. Do not give away your email or number to any people in this app. Just say you’ll pay in cash, and if they don’t cooperate, then block them. ### 1/5 — Horrid *2026-08-09, version 3.2.8* Horrible, great sales but I pay premium and get ads every 5 seconds no exaggeration, and on top of that I try editing my listing and it’s glitched and won’t let me ### 1/5 — Worst app to buy second hand things online *2026-08-02, version 3.2.8* This is the absolute worst app ever, it is impossible to buy or sell anything without getting spammed with adds and subscriptions to buy, even when you just click on a listing you get an add and a bug this subscription page. Unusable and there are to many scammers, I have several listings on the app and spammers are a pest. The app doesn’t help with anything to get rid or protect the user from them, the constantly ask for your number and send a Zelle “confirmation text”, just an fyi Zelle will never send a confirmation text to “upgrade your account” the scammers are also so sloppy I had this buyer who said that Zelle sent a Confirmation text and when I saw the text the “Zelle worker” face timed me 😂. Worst app to use with the most stupid scammers avoid. ### 1/5 — 3rd place for scammers *2026-07-21, version 3.2.7* Like any other app it’s always helpful to find a free trial to post items for sale however that doesn’t change the fact that even after reporting the profile of a scammer nothing seems to change but to block the scammer profile, messages keep on showing up. So blocking is useless the scammers can still read as well as the person being contacted can still see the scammer text. At least 30 scammers reply with the excuse of asking for your number or trying to pay on line with Zelle or other similar app to either get your number or sent you an email to get either one. I finally decided to close my account for the same reason to see nothing but scammers trying to beg for your information, one of them pretending how bad a family member needed my item. On top of not getting anywhere this app is asking to pay almost 6-7$ for a subscription can’t believe how someone could be more interested in money rather than protect customers. Anyways one less app for me to worry about this app top my number 3 nest for scammers the second one on my list for scammers is buy and sell they close your account if you bring or someone make it seem like I’m the one with the fake account. The last one on my list is Craigslist. The only app is not as bad and is no charge almost is offer up or facebook marketplace even though there’s always room for improvement. I only write my review because someone out there needs to be aware and take precautions. ### 1/5 — Ads are out of control *2026-07-15, version 3.2.6* Between the ads and scams, this app is barely usable. ### 1/5 — Scam slop *2026-07-15, version 3.2.6* Every person that try’s to buy anything off you is likely a scammer. ### 1/5 — 0 out of 0 stars *2026-07-12, version 3.2.6* I do not recommend this app to anyone ever!! NOTHING but scammers when i listed my washer and dryer. Don't trust any app with ads after each click. ### 1/5 — Money Grab *2026-07-11, version 3.2.6* This app is useless. As soon as you open the app it asks you to make a purchase, then it gives you an ad if you don’t pay. You get adds almost every time you click something on the app, and when you list a product, you will get messages from a lot of scammers that ask for your phone number and try to “pay” you with Venmo, but this is all a scam from users to steal money from you. This app is one of the worst apps I have ever used. ### 1/5 — Horrible site. *2026-07-07, version 3.2.6* Nothing but scammers reached out. Not one legitimate buyer. Not one. ### 1/5 — SCAM APP *2026-07-06, version 3.2.6* This app is a literal scam. You’ll see other real people on there but whatever you post, nothing but scammers will text you about it. Make a fake number or gmail & try to say they’re having someone else pick it up. Not sure if whoever actually comes but this app is a complete scam plz trust me on this. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Compensation *2026-08-12, version 3.2.8* Very Good ### 5/5 — Splendid *2026-07-21, version 3.2.7* Excellent ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-18, version 3.2.6* Perfect for goods ### 5/5 — New marketplace😜bad *2026-04-28, version 3.2.3* I hate everything about this app. I liked the old marketplace better.
