### 1/5 — Stick with web version

*2025-02-27, version 3.0.6*

Just doesn’t word, a real shame!

### 1/5 — Greg

*2024-11-23, version 3.0.6*

App continually crashes

### 1/5 — Payment taken

*2024-06-24, version 3.0.6*

Payment was taken twice via Applepay.  Syed in denial that you accept Applepay.  Wasted my time back and forth with emails denying payment ever been received.  Thankfully Applepay sorted for
Me.  Please don’t lie to your
Customers

### 1/5 — Chat doesn’t work

*2023-08-01, version 3.0.6*

Great to have a Wightbay app but…the chat feature isn’t working. Have messaged other users with chat and don’t get a response. Instead I get a message from Wightbay saying that the other user is still waiting for my reply! So I have to revert to using my laptop to message through Wightbay! I have contacted Wightbay directly about the problem and had no response whatsoever…oh btw that was through the feedback option within the app, so looks like that doesn’t work either!!!

### 1/5 — App crashes

*2023-05-06, version 3.0.6*

Having an app for wightbay is great!! But while scrolling through it crashes deeming the app useless. 
Please sort this issue and it will be usable 👍🏻 Thanks 😊

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2023-03-07, version 3.0.6*

Poor effort, keeps crashing.

### 1/5 — Was great, ruined by recent update

*2023-01-22, version 3.0.4*

App was great until Around Christmas 2022 when an update changed the behaviour: if you now open an ad to view, it returns you back to the top of the list, and you have to scroll down miles to get back to where you were. 

Developer: please revert behaviour to retaining the place in the list after viewing an ad. 

I spend far less time on this app now that I used to.
