This developer is a thief. They know their app doesn’t work. All sales from months/years ago keep popping up. Nothing current. Waste of money for the year subscription. Thanks for nothing. Literally stealing $27 from a bunch of us. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-07-23, version 1.18* Waste of money. Doesn’t work. You are better off using Facebook. Might be a scam. ### 1/5 — What *2026-07-21, version 1.18* I paid to use this app… first of all, not user friendly and now a few weeks later it has signed me out and I can’t sign back in. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-07-20, version 1.18* This app is a scam. Almost zero sales come up. That is, when I am able to login to the app, which I am usually unable to. Complete waste of money. Stay away. ### 1/5 — Just a poor app *2026-07-19, version 1.18* No month to month so you have to pay $27 for the year. That would be ok but all the sales are old. Drove to 3 different ones only to find out the sale was weeks ago. All of this on top of the fact the app only loads up about half the time. I was really excited about the idea but this app is the single worst iPhone purchase I have made this year. ### 1/5 — Yeah, no. YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS APP *2026-07-18, version 1.18* False advertising is cool now. Thought it was going to be a cool app for looking up yard sales, instead it forces you to sign up for their $10 a month subscription. You don’t even get a free version. There is no free version. Also nowhere on the advertising for the app does it say it’s a subscription paid app. Usually you’ll see where it says in app purchases, which is fine, this doesn’t even say that. It says it when downloading it, like it’s got a paid option vs a stripped down free option. There is NO FREE OPTION! YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS APP. ### 1/5 — Must’ve been free before *2026-07-18, version 1.18* Pages of recent reviews agree that the bait & switch paywall is a big letdown. Not sure how it still has such a high rating — I’d guess it was free for a few years to bank up some 5 stars reviews. Nowadays it’s a revolving door of 1 stars. ### 1/5 — Not worth paying for *2026-07-16, version 1.18* Got the app thinking it would help with sales I don’t typically find. Also thought it would consolidate yard sales found on FB too. This app isn’t quite there yet. I find that the Yard Sale app is better. Worst part is that I paid for a year subscription because I couldn’t figure out the free trial and didn’t see any other options. Again, not worth the money… yet. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-07-16, version 1.18* I can dig through a few websites and get more information than this app can give me. And when it does find a Yard Sale, I get one picture there’s no link to where they found it so I can go look at other pictures. This is the biggest waste of money, complete buyers remorse. ### 1/5 — NO FREE TRIAL *2026-07-16, version 1.17* It keeps saying there is a free trial but no free trial ### 1/5 — Forced Subscription Model *2026-07-14, version 1.16* Not even worth testing because you can't. Stick to checking Craigslist or Facebook groups. Most people that are having garage sales are not even going to use this app. Could have been a great tool but it's a grift. All the developers other apps seem to be just rebranded pay to play models of this. Reviewed the comments before trying myself, because developer seemed responsive and mentioned a free trial. There is in fact no free trial. One thing it did do was collect a bunch of demographic information about my interest in yard sales, then asked to cross app track. Save your money and your privacy and don't even download. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-07-13, version 1.16* I saw this app in an Instagram ad and decided to download it to check it out. I put in my zip code and it found zero sales near me or anywhere in my state, which I know is not true just from sales I’ve seen posted other places. Then it asked me for $27 to continue. I declined. Maybe you should show a working map if you want to charge $27 for this… just a thought ### 1/5 — Scam App *2026-07-12, version 1.16* Does not aggregate garage sales from multiple sources. Do not waste your money. ### 1/5 — No try you need to pay *2026-07-12, version 1.16* You can’t access before paying. Every comments are bad how it’s possible to have 4 stars ? Fake app ?? ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money *2026-07-11, version 1.15* Paid the fee and when I got it loaded up there isn’t a yard sale nearby. Yes it does show you yardsales but it’s scattered and unless you wanna travel by helicopter or jet you’re gonna be driving for hours between each of the locations. Save your money don’t buy this just use google search or marketplace, those are free!!! ### 1/5 — No sales listed *2026-07-11, version 1.15* There are no sales listed on the app for my area but there are a ton on Facebook. Not worth the money at all! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t show any yard sales in my area *2026-07-11, version 1.15* I search Craigslist and Facebook for my garage sales. There are 10+ sales this weekend and yardly didn’t pick up 1 that are shown on the other sites. I feel like I wasted $27 because I’m still having to search my original apps to find the sales, it’s not doing any of the work. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2026-07-09, version 1.15* The app shows nothing in my area when there are garage sales all over the place. I want my money back! ### 1/5 — Misleading and scummy *2026-07-04, version 1.13* Presents itself as a free, unpaid app and then instantly demands $27 to use it. You literally are not able to access any content within the app beyond the paywall, basically making you blindly spend nearly $30 for publicity available information. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-09-06, version 1.18* Never write reviews for apps but this one deserved one . Believe the others and continue with Craigslist and Facebook this isn’t worth it at all ### 1/5 — Review *2026-09-01, version 1.18* Team did awful at making it useable, tried for the whole month to get it to work, talked with support , got no help with fixing the app. ### 1/5 — Not worth paying for *2026-08-29, version 1.18* I find yard sales through free apps all the time, but I paid for this one because it’s advertised as an aggregator that supposedly streamlines the search process. Unfortunately, I rarely see any sales near me, even though I live in a busy suburban area where there are constantly yard and garage sales posted on other sites and apps. If the whole point is to aggregate listings from multiple sources, I’m not sure what I’m paying for. So far, it feels like a great advertisement for a service that doesn’t actually deliver what it promises. ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2026-08-28, version 1.18* Makes you pay 8 dollars before you can even try it, I ended up paying for it got in and everything was 100 miles away from me and it hasn’t been updated since October apps a joke ### 1/5 — Where the old yard sale app *2026-08-28, version 1.18* Bought it because the old yard sale one is gone thinking it be the same well it’s not! Does show no garage sales for today or tomorrow which is a lie there a lot posted on face book a scam is what this is! I want a refund! ### 1/5 — Don’t do it *2026-08-22, version 1.18* The app looks unsupported. The only sales showing in all of Tampa bay Florida were neighborhood sales over a month away. I paid $9 for nothing. Don’t waste your money. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2026-08-17, version 1.18* There are so many yard sales in my area I wanted a place to find them all quickly. This app doesn’t find half of them. I’m still looking up Facebook. It’s so not worth the money ### 1/5 — Can’t even preview app *2026-08-03, version 1.18* They will make you go through a questionnaire only to then tell you that you have to pay to actually use the app. Why am I going to pay for something without even getting to preview it and see if it’s helpful?! Immediately deleted!! ### 1/5 — Does not find yard sales *2026-08-01, version 1.18* Will show a few garage sales but open Marketplace and there are much much more ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2026-07-28, version 1.18* Data collection and pay to use ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — love this app! *2026-05-22* avid yard sale hunter here, i’ve been struggling to find new yard sales in my area, but Yardly helped me out! I found a set of beautiful china plates **Developer response:** Love that you love it! We're adding some fantastic updates shortly so stay on the lookout! ### 5/5 — Needed this *2026-05-22* Genuinely saves so much time! **Developer response:** Thank you for your support and feedback! ### 5/5 — I’m super excited about this app *2026-05-21* Amazing idea in concept, they aren’t quite there yet but I know they are working hard on the app. Super cool team behind the app. **Developer response:** Hey! Thank you so much for the support! We are indeed working hard on it and happy to have you check out the new updates! Bunch of sales have been loaded up and you should be seeing more than ever now! ### 5/5 — Helpful for those without all the time in the world *2026-05-20* I used to just search online for yard sales but it became super time consuming without actually finding anything. Yardly has helped me find garage sales actually worth finding **Developer response:** Thank you for your support! It means the world to us. We work 24/7 on this project, and we promise it is the absolute best source of estate and yard sales! Stay tuned to some new updates! ### 5/5 — Life Saver *2026-05-18* I have been using marketplace apps for the longest time, and it has been hard to see everything in one place. Found Yardly and it changed how i shop! ### 2/5 — Is good or bad, pay to find out I guess. *2026-07-07, version 1.14* No free version, no trial. Answer a few questions then they try to take your mo sy with a vague subscription page, no thank you. ### 2/5 — Wow I’m an idiot *2026-06-21, version 1.11* Town next to me is actively having a town wide tag sale, thought this would help. It showed none of sales going on within 20 miles of me. Says you go off of permits for the sales, which seems to be a lie. Would like my money back ### 2/5 — Needs a lot of work *2026-06-21, version 1.11* Paid for this app and regret it. The “sales” in my area are all in the past, and there’s no way to filter out past sales or dates. This is not helpful to use at all. Back to Facebook marketplace and Craigslist. ### 2/5 — No data for my area *2026-05-29, version 1.10* No pins to show sales at all in 60min radius :( ### 2/5 — Didn’t find it accurate *2026-05-20* Didn’t have any more info than Facebook marketplace, which is free. This app has no way to filter past sales that are not actually “this weekend.” And it pulled in at least one showing it was local but it was actually in another state. **Developer response:** Hi! We have a development team dedicated to making sure all sales are accurate, and we are pushing an extra big update shortly. I want to make sure you have the best experience possible please email us at help@useyardlyapp.com and we'd love to make sure everything is perfect for your area. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
