### 2/5 — Shows false view counts

*2018-10-14*

The application will add your own views to the view count.  I was just going into one of my post to make a correction in wording and when I come back out in the list. My view count changed. I went back in and went out in increased again.  Also, it increment each view by 2.

### 4/5 — Please fix scroll

*2018-04-29*

Every single time I try to scroll down it boots me out of the app. Every time I go back in, location takes FOREVER. Please fix this. I’m on iPod touch 6th generation. Autodub, that happened to me 2! I lost my account then saw my listings, the crocs the backpack, everything that I had ALREADY SOLD, right there on that screen taunting me. I want them deleted,,, I bet ppl are messaging me like “hey dude, where’s this cool thingy?”

### 1/5 — Does not work!!!!!

*2016-11-23*

Does not work, opens then closes

### 1/5 — Doesn't work anymore

*2016-04-06*

Nothing loads when I open it now so I can't use it at all. Please fix it.

### 2/5 — Unable to upload

*2016-03-17*

Please fix the bugs. I unable to upload new items. It seems to be stuck on "saving" for 5 mins without any results.
Thanks

### 2/5 — Great concept, but...

*2016-01-29*

It's a cool app, but it should have been better tested before its release. There are numerous bugs. It cuts off description text unexpectedly (i.e. one ad's text may be a good sized paragraph, but another ad's text only a few lines). It locks up while editing chat responses, so you have to start over again, and it crashes randomly.

### 1/5 — Was good for a while

*2016-01-19*

Was great for a few weeks... Picked up a laptop for a great deal... But now it's basically a blank screen. Nothing loads and all my previous conversations and items for sale are gone. It looks like the program has been abandoned but it was updated a couple days ago. I was hoping the update would fix things. It didn't. 😕 I see my items from over 6 months ago are still in the listings when I go to the website but I see no way to remove them. HELP!

### 1/5 — Need more work

*2015-12-12*

Does not work well. Search functions are limited. Confusing at startup.

### 4/5 — Great!

*2015-11-17*

Simple, clear and easy to use, found what I was looking for!

### 1/5 — Good job guys.

*2015-10-08, version 2.3*

We can't even get into the app, because you put a T&C popup right when you first open the app, and you can't hit the accept button.

You'd think someone would've noticed this. Good job Metroland.

iPhone 4S, iOS 8.4

### 1/5 — Mrs

*2015-10-05, version 2.3*

Fix the agree button for iPad and I am more than willing to try it out. I love the idea aNd sure many people will find it helpful.

### 1/5 — Completely inaccessible

*2015-09-29, version 2.3*

Can't use the app at all because the AGREE button on the Terms of Service (which you must accept) is half hidden behind the lower toolbar and impossible to tap on.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2015-08-24, version 2.0.10*

Freezes phone, doesn't search. Great idea but needs a lot of work.

### 1/5 — Metroland Fails Again

*2015-08-14, version 2.0.9*

Always trying to cash in on someone else's success, Metroland's latest idea of the month is not usable. Loading items forever. Local ad offers a free gift to try but can't use the app to get the gift. Back to kijiji

### 1/5 — No results...

*2015-08-08, version 2.0.9*

Just tried this on my iPhone 6 and could not get any results. Tried numerous searches.  Either you have no customers or you have some issues to work out with this app.  On startup it should at least show some items. For example, show the last 10 recently listed items... Just give us something instead of a blank screen.  Also there is no response when searching.  I.e. Indicate 0 results after a search is done.  Dont leave people wondering.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2021-12-10*

I got scammed by a seller for one, which isn’t necessarily the platform but it was very difficult to use. Not user friendly.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-11-15*

So I do reselling so any apps that do buy and sell is always good to see however this app doesn’t cut it because as soon as you install it and open the app it just shows a white screen and that’s it hopefully they will fix the problem but unfortunately I can’t list what I can’t see

### 1/5 — Wtfif

*2020-03-08*

“Cannot connect to server” soon as I open the app. On ipod, please fix! It used to be a good app

### 1/5 — No thanks

*2019-02-19*

I dont need an app that doesnt work.

### 1/5 — Too many local classified

*2018-07-24*

I am not sure why we consumers need another local classified app. I see Tradyo ads in my local newspaper and am thinking now I need to start searching for local classified in tradyo on top of the three/four other apps I use. 

I mostly use letgo, kijiji, Facebook marketplace and sometimes VarageSale. No we don’t need another one

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2016-12-18*

App crashes when you view an item. Doesn't work...

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2016-12-11*

Keeps crushing even after the update
Is will be uninstalled ASAP

### 1/5 — Does NOT work

*2016-12-04*

The best is I saw an ad in the local paper for this app. It was massive colourful and took up half the page. Too bad. Sounded cool.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2016-11-26*

Opens the closes right away. Deleted the app.

### 1/5 — Would love to check it out but....

*2016-11-25*

Cannot get into app. It opens then automatically closes. Shame for all the advertising I have seen for it in my community.  ( didn't even want to give it a star, but had no choice)

### 5/5 — Quick and beautifully designed

*2015-12-04*

Stable, nice design, lots of items available.

### 5/5 — Great little app

*2015-11-17*

Love this app for buying/selling locally.  Lots of great features and friendly community.  Super easy to use.

### 5/5 — Has a ton of potential

*2015-09-30, version 2.3*

This app is awesome for someone like me, who's always finding stuff around the house to sell. Posting items is a lot easier than the old school way of emailing photos to yourself to post on the classic buy and sell sites (which takes way too many steps). The ease of use is the best part - and I like that items in my area come up when I browse. Can't wait for more people to get on board.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2015-09-10, version 2.1*

Just bought a cute little painting from an artist that lives around the corner from me!  Didn't know it before Tradyo!  Keep posting cool stuff please.

### 5/5 — So helpful

*2015-09-10, version 2.1*

I was looking to get rid of some stuff, and posting the ads using this tool was very easy - I could quickly post the photos and info, unlike other buy and sell sites. Finding items to buy near me is great, which saves time and effort when receiving the items. This will be great once more people use the tool, way more convenient to search.

### 5/5 — App is great, hope it catches on!

*2015-07-31, version 2.0.9*

I hope it catches on in Ontario, the app is awesome. Simple and easy to use... Will be better than kijiji and craigslist if more people start using.

### 5/5 — Simple and effective

*2015-04-23, version 2.0.1*

This is a great idea. Goodbye messy Kijiji. Simple to post, easy to chat and my table was gone in less than 2 days. No more anxiously waiting for an email. Quick chat. Awesome!!!

### 5/5 — Textbooks

*2015-03-28, version 2.0.1*

Already sold a few text books. Really happy about it. Love the geo locator.

### 5/5 — Finally

*2015-03-24, version 2.0.1*

Finally a place to sell my things for actual money online. Hate to put my local pawn shop out of business, but this is the price of progress. Sorry Ivan.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2012-06-29, version 1.4.1*

Easy to use. Wish more people knew about this and use it instead of kijiji.
