It works but there's 2 things that really bug me about this app. One huge problem with this app is that it destroys the image quality of the pictures you upload. This should be the one thing that should be taken care if everyone is relying on how a product looks. I'll give a better rating once you can upload images without them being blurry. Second is that you're only allowed 20 seconds to record at least one minute would be good.

Easy to buy and sell in the App. There are too many disconnected glitches and I find that I have to upload too many times to get a connection again when I'm in the App browsing or doing any communication with others. Too many daily log in and steps to get to chat, listing pages. Way too many ads. It's annoying and it's knocking me off from browsing and communicating with other sellers and buyers.

they used to allow sellers to boost (refresh) listings every 4 hours an unlimited amount of times but now (without any notice) you can only boost an item 4 times total. After that, you either have to pay to feature your item or delete and repost it. The unlimited boost feature was the primary reason I used 5miles over offer up but now that's gone, I'll move back to offer up. It was good while it lasted but per usual, making money always out weighs user satisfaction

update: Thought some issues would change but no, only others added. After continually entering a distance I'm show items 50 miles away. Often not even what I wanted. lots of retail merchandise which I can get anywhere for the same price or less. Bidding is sketchy. No way to tell if it's actually a bot or a human raising the bid constantly. Way too busy with ads. Also has some coin system that's annoying, confusing and constantly popping up. Uninstalled

It would be nice to set the distance and have it stay set until I change it myself. I don't change residence in between each search so why is it set up like that? It is my favorite buy/sell app. Easy to navigate and easy to get to your offers without clicking a lot of buttons.

I used to live this app, but it's completely changed. And IMO, not for the better. It no longer seems to be run/owned locally from Dallas. It feels mostly focused on the new auctions, which aren't from any local area, or even the US. It was once a neighborhood rooted system, and it was great. The description says it's free to boost items, but it hasn't been "free" for a while. After you list a new item, you get 4, and that's all. So your items go unpromoted unless you pay per each. = few sales!

Its okay, after a while your items are buried even with the boost option. Unless you pay. The bid option is deceptive as it list a price for item which is no where near what it would cost if you purchased the item outright (googled and found for less at regular price). Items come from China which takes a lengthy time, none of this is provided at bid. Learned above from my mistake.

Update: I really hate this app now. As is so common improvements have ruined everything. Was difficult to find where to set my location. In fact I just stumbled upon.. I find it very annoying to have to constantly be resetting the distance within which I want to see listings. Even after setting it to 10 miles I will have listings 50 miles away.

I really wish you guys would put back the ability to filter items by Price without having to select a category. Sometimes I want to see what's for sale in my area for under a certain amount of money without specifically knowing what I want. The app used to have this feature and they took it away from some reason. If anything that leads to more sales

It's better than Offer Up but it's slowly getting worse. the ads are really annoying as well as the bids. We now have to pay to "boost items" so many time dealers have their items listed on there first. they should have a complete separate tab for dealers. It was nice at first but with all these changes it's getting more difficult to sell and find stuff.

The Bid section is simply annoying and useless. Also, it would be better if users could post the same item more than one time. It is totally not user friendly when you have to delete and post the same item again to increase views. It's easier to just post it and not worry about it if was there already. In contrast, I love that it lets you upload all the images at once and it is very easy to post items with just 3 steps.

I can't sell things if they get burried. Bring back the Boost feature. 5miles *was* the best. great customer service, easy to use....but 5miles dash eating up the screen was bad. then they look away the free boost option--cementing it as a follower instead of a leader. it was the last app with a free boost. 5miles sold out. I teach a class on bst apps and selling things online. I used to be able to show 5miles as set apart from other apps. no more. very discouraging. Uninstalled.

I'm not receiving any notification sound when people send me messages. I just happened to check,and see them. Can't to sell or buy anymore. I don't know what's the issue I'm my end😞 I have unstalled it and reinstalled,still having the same issue. It used to be better when you could reboost you items . I hate the area of bidding!

My wife and I are having the same issue... The app is called "5 miles" but it only shows us items that are 30+ miles away... It does not show anything local... I've allowed location permission, I have deleted and reinstalled the app, I have logged out and logged back in... Maybe if they fix this issue I've seen a lot of people complain about the app would actually be useful.

in my opinion this is probably the best or at least one of the very top "garage sale apps". Where you buy and sell with people in your area. This one just has better chat features, it's more user-friendly prices are on the very first picture you see. it's not really easy to accidentally send a message like it is and some other of these types of apps! all of your messaging is separated into buy category and sell category. it's just more convenient than the other ones like this.

I like this app, because it is simple, straight forward and people are usually really close by. I wouod put 5 stars, but I dislike the change to only being able to boost your items in the news feed a total of four times. I see how they wouldn't prefer it to be flooded constantly, by the same people, but maybe another idea wouold be to limit the amount of items at a time, we can boost, rather than the amount of times so low. Its only four hours each time...otherwise...its great. : )

9-20-19, My first review was 1 star because you can't do 0. I did finally get my money from my 'wallet ', but it was VERY difficult. I won't use it again. I don't trust the Dash. 1 thing I like about the local part is that you can see everything a person has listed & you can follow them. I also like the search ability. The location could be improved. Most of what I see on here in my area is over priced. The good priced items do go VERY fast, I like how long you can leave things listed.

This app used to be something worth using because it was free. It never functioned right but was free. Now it still doesn't function but has to be paid for. 1 example- the description window. Really? No return key to add spacing? Listing looks like a dang love letter from prison and not a professional advertisement. Then the user has to drag the cursor around to browse up or down, but the scroll speed is so ridiculous that its impossible to catch the last spot where the cursor was. Get it together before you start charging. If you are selling something that isn't working in 2018, as a designer and programmer... really you need to explore possibilities for different field of work. ...its just not working out.. no hard feelings

Easy to navigate and understand how to use it. The Settings selection, location/search, and social media connectivity is great, easy to use and connect! The only thing I would add is a feature when you are creating an add that will allow you to put in bigger/bolder lettering "PICK UP ONLY". I have had many people on multiple occasions ask and even beg me to deliver items to a personal address, people not making any effort to meet in public and often lie with "giving gas money" to deliver items.

Notification dots for nothing will NOT go away. I have emailed repeatedly and they will not fix it it always looks like you have a notification and you don't. Even when you tap on EVERYTHING they don't go away. Pain in the a$$ .. they can't, or won't fix their frigging app.. if you redeem points for credit here and don't immediately use it, they expire and you lose out altogether. Why yes, the app is getting worse. Daily reward conveniently skips the 110 Point day. 3 weeks in a row! 😡😡
