Also tried logging in with no luck. Just glad I had no current trades setup. CRAZY ### 1/5 — Broken app *2026-01-02, version 12.3.1* This app was once an amazing platform for sneaker training. However, today the app is completely broken unable to search create new trades or perform any user based actions. It doesn’t seem like it’s being maintained. ### 2/5 — This app has went downhill fast! *2026-01-01, version 12.3.1* Most recent update has cause this app to be a joke. Nothing loads, shoes don’t show up in closet, can’t print off labels, etc. Recently got logged out and now it won’t even let me log back in. Crazy for fees to go up while app usability goes down. ### 1/5 — App won’t work *2025-12-31, version 12.3.1* Had to redo my review ,my app won’t work ,I can’t log in ,I have a trade ongoing ,the other I received the shoes not the way I agreed to trade ,just too many shortcuts being taken and now after almost 900 days straight on fire I will lose it and can’t log in ,emailed support and ignored ### 1/5 — BROKEN *2025-12-31, version 12.3.1* USELESS for the past few days. Unable to access or do anything ### 1/5 — Every week I can’t login *2025-12-31, version 12.3.1* Every week I can’t login into the app. No updates no nothing. It’s knocks me out and just have to wait and support doesn’t responds ### 1/5 — Glitchfest *2025-12-31, version 12.3.1* App is constantly down and having issues ### 1/5 — used to be decent, now horrible *2025-12-30, version 12.3.1* it was never a great app but it was solid, good enough to serve its purpose. i currently cant even get my own profile to load. disappointing ### 1/5 — App Bugged *2025-12-30, version 12.3.1* I can’t even log in right now lol. ### 3/5 — App Not Working Since New Update *2025-12-22, version 12.3.1* The new update, and now the app doesn’t work, existing trades offers don’t load. No way to use the app. I hope they fix it quickly. I’m sure they will because they losing money if trades can’t be made. But it has been a few days already. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-12-22, version 12.3.1* Bugs out so much. Has hella issues and honestly doesn’t seem they be fixing anything just get worse and worse. Don’t bother time for something new this app is dead af ### 1/5 — Virtually unusable *2025-12-22, version 12.3.1* I don’t know what happened within the past month, but I can’t see public trades at all on start up or search for shoes. When you enlarge photos in messenger it automatically flips the pictures. Please fix!!! ### 1/5 — What happened? *2025-12-18, version 12.3.1* This app used to be pretty good with a few minor bugs, but nothing that prevented from its intended use. The last few updates have made this unusable on IOS. No longer being able to search a trader, bugs when adding a shoe to closet/wishlist, and most recently not even being able to use my account because nothing loads in closet, offers, messages. Hoping this gets fixed soon. But it might be time to use a different app ### 1/5 — Unable to use app properly *2025-10-29, version 12.1.0* The app doesn’t allow me to send messages to other users to try and make trades, their technical support is no help and only seems to have outdated fixes. I’m not throwing $80-$100 at a trade for someone to not respond and I have to sit on that til I get a refund ### 1/5 — Scam alert *2025-10-29, version 12.1.0* These company is a scam They will give you run rounds and if that dont work they will stop answering dont trade with them all those 5 stars are all the influencers they take care of to make sure they stay in good report online. He does this out of his house what a piece of junk. Im taking them to small claims court for sure ### 1/5 — Horrible service *2025-09-03, version 12.1.0* They will find a flaw in every single pair you send in even if it comes right from Nike. They try to get every trade cancelled for some weird reason. The fees are so high you have to pay almost $100 per trade. Just stay away from this app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App issues *2026-08-02, version 12.6.2* Good idea but app has been very buggy lately and not loading any sneakers ### 1/5 — App is always crashing *2026-07-22, version 12.6.2* I’ve lost my streak consistently in ver app issues 7/21 most recently ### 1/5 — STOP EMAILING ME! *2026-06-25, version 12.6.1* The app is trash and I can’t get them to stop emailing me. I click unsubscribe and I still get emails. I unselect the marketing email option in the app. I send the automated unsubscribe emails and the emails bounce back as undeliverable. I welcome any correspondence that will then help me end all future correspondence. Yo tradeblock STOP EMAILING ME! ### 1/5 — This past month has drastically changed my opinion of this company *2026-06-17, version 12.5.0* I currently have 75 trades on this platform. About 2 months ago I was sent fakes from a trusted trader but I didn’t catch it until I went to sell the shoes 3 weeks later so Tradeblock wouldn’t do anything about it. Since then I’ve recorded opening every package and running the shoes through 2 different legit checking apps. A little over a month ago I was once again sent fakes by a trusted trader but this time I caught it instantly. I paid to ship the shoes to Tradeblock and after about a week and a half of them having the fake shoes they finally came back and said they were going to reimburse me hundreds UNDER the value of the shoes I was supposed to get and under the value of the shoes I sent in this trade. After blasting it all over social media and contacting the co-founder of the company, they came back and said they were going to give me enough to repurchase the shoes plus my trade fees and the shipping label I paid for to ship the shoes to them. I was more than happy with that. But…. It’s been 16 days since then and I haven’t received a penny! This entire situation has completely destroyed my confidence in this platform/company. Oh, and the guy who sent me fakes? He’s still a trusted trader right now and nothing at all was done to punish him. GIVE ME MY MONEY TRADEBLOCK! ### 1/5 — Terrible app stay away *2026-04-29, version 12.4.0* The item of this app seemed good but it’s a horrible experience . Between the crashing , bugs , and constant errors the app did not function well itself . Customer service is worse , they reject items with ease and take crazy amount of fees. For being a trusted trader I have to pay additional fee to get verification which feels backwards , at minimum you have to pay $60 just to swap up a size on $20 sneaker for example . Shame on these people they stole a lot of money from me already and more than half the accounts on here are inactive because everyone found out how terrible it is ### 1/5 — First trade and got fakes!! *2026-04-22, version 12.4.0* Made my first trade on Tradeblock. My pair of V.A.A Alaska’s for Union Jordan 1 Chicago and Royals. When the pairs came, the Royal pair had an EBay authentication tag on it, but when I tried it on it was more snug than my other Jordan 1. So I finally when to a local resell shop to see if I could trade for a half size up and they say these are fake. Then I turned around and sold them on stockx and they come back inauthentic. So beware with this app. I personally will never use it again. ### 1/5 — Do Not Use! Scammers and bad customer service. *2026-02-15, version 12.3.2* There are way too many scammers on the app and Tradeblock will not help you out if you get scammed. I unfortunately just went through this on a trade where the other person offered shoes in like new condition and sent me photos to confirm it. When I received the shoes they were stained, dirty, and worn pretty bad. This guy was listed as a ‘Trusted Trader’ too. I tried to get Tradeblock to step in and help because I was obviously scammed and the condition of the shoes was way different than the photos I was sent. After emailing back and forth they said $50 credit is the best they could do on a pair that lost around $400 in value. I’ve heard other horror stories too. Best to just stay away. ### 1/5 — Horrible trade experience *2026-01-11, version 12.3.1* Horrible trade experience ### 1/5 — Borderline unusable on IOS *2026-01-04, version 12.3.1* App constantly breaks since about 12/2025… ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on IOS *2026-01-04, version 12.3.1* Not working :( ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Terrific app *2026-08-10, version 12.6.2* Glad they introduced buying and selling into it, even though I will always enjoy being part of the trading community. ### 5/5 — I pray this company stays in business forever *2026-06-02, version 12.5.0* I currently have 75 trades on the platform and 99.9% of the time everything has gone great. The .1% of issues I’ve had, TradeBlock went above and beyond to make things right with me and I will forever be loyal because of how they’ve treated me as a customer. Please guys, support this company! It’s the only one of its kind in the sneaker community. ### 5/5 — Best Shoe App *2026-04-28, version 12.4.0* This app is for trading shoes. However, I use it, mainly, to keep track of my collection and its value. It’s the best app for that I’ve used. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-01-18, version 12.3.1* Tradeblock is a solid platform with a support team that genuinely cares about its users. I had a delivery issue that took time to resolve due to a carrier investigation, but throughout the process the communication and professionalism from the support team stood out. Special thanks to Athena and Ephraim for their patience, clear updates, and respectful approach. They stayed engaged, kept me informed, and ultimately helped bring the issue to a fair resolution. Situations like this really show a company’s commitment to customer service. Overall, a great experience and a platform I trust. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Best Trading Platform *2025-01-23, version 9.4.0* Absolutely the best trading platform. Yes the fees can be expensive, but the process is so easy and I’ve had great luck acquiring grails of mine with fair trades. The customer support is phenomenal and will help you with any issues you have, especially when trading used shoes. Their authentication process is legit and relatively quick compared to other platforms I’ve bought/traded sneakers on. Overall Tradeblock is hands down the best app for sneaker heads looking to expand their collection. ### 5/5 — Awesome App, easy to use! *2025-01-01, version 9.4.0* Awesome App, easy to use! ### 5/5 — 10/10 App *2024-08-01, version 9.0.3* Love this app so much, anyone that says something bad about it is just lazy in my opinion ### 5/5 — Super dope app !! *2024-06-26, version 8.1.1* The GIRL FROM BJS told me about the app ! Shout out to Robyn 💯💯💰 love the app ### 5/5 — Frozen Account Restored *2024-06-26, version 8.1.1* I have to say that Trade Block was very kind to reinstate my account after authenticating a pair of sneakers and hearing my side of the story. I felt valued and listened to, just when you thought they were all about there business they are just in listening before determining a rash decision. Thank you Trade Block! ### 5/5 — Great app, super great Member Experience Agents *2024-04-26, version 8.0.1* Never had problems with the app, had a few minor issues which were solved by their Member Experience Team within an hour.
