Really bad experience. App is very slow. Every time I close and then open the app I need to sign in again to read the messages. Message notifications stop coming 10-15 minutes after closing the app. When I do receive message notifications and click to see the message, I takes me to a broken chat box which can't be used to reply. You need to close that and restart the app. I don't understand why one of the most successful companies in the world can't have decent app.

The payment options are really frustrating. All their payment options have a fee attached to it, very high fees! Even when you use your US checking account to pay after meeting all their weird conditions, they still reject your payment after 4 days and then make you pay with other costlier payment options. So annoying and frustrating that they make you pay more just because of the limited payment options they have

The app is what Alibaba prefers you use. It seems to have all of the things that you have on the website, but it is fast to just click the icon on my home page. I havent had any problems using it. I am still confused how it all works. As I get to know the app features I am sure it will be easier. Warning.. You should use Alibaba to set up sales and never send anything to a personal email or Skype or anything outside of Alibaba. People will take your money and not deliver items. good luck

I concur that this app manipulates the audio driver strangely. In my case, it kept switching my bluetooth headphone audio into "phone speaker" quality - it kept becoming mono and radioish. After much problemsolving, it ceased when I force stopped and cleared cache for this sole app. A separate aspect is that, immediately after clearing cache, it automatically loads it up without the app needed to be opened. This is like 54 megabytes.

Not user friendly. When you display an item, you do not show it in full. For example, joYou show the front only of a vehicle. You do not show other sides of the vehicle. ALSO, YOU DO NOT display the ? ALSO, YOU DO NOT DISPLAY THE price of the vehicle. Why is that? Include also the total price of the vehicle plus shipping. Makes faster business!!

To confusing!!. If I want to order something you start the order with shipping info. The you have to contact seller and I am not sure, but I think I am waiting on a seller to respond, which 2 hours later, nothing. Now I have lost interest. You have to do this for each item you order. Havent even gotten to the payment part yet. Lost interest in ordering. Deleting app

The entire experience was very suspicious. I kept filling items into my car, I would go and check my card and there would be items there, I could not find a continuous shopping button so I had to prompt the site one space back to continue shopping, I would then go back to my cart and there wouldn't be anything in there. It gave me a price, then gave me a lower price, finally it was a higher price and they wanted me to pay for my items individually. None of which made sense to me.

This most recent version of the app is pretty bad, every time there is a message from a vendor it constantly sends notifications until I read the last message. I've woken up to 50 pending messages but it was the same one being sent over and over. Also no matter how I set the notification the app sends a loud notification, even when I put it on deliver quietly on low volume there is a loud tone that notifies me. I've tried changing it but it continues to be a problem.

This is one of most valuable companies in the world and they give us this app? Messages take ages to come through on the app, frequently messages can't be sent, files take forever to open, and every single time you open it, it has to reload and shows you an ad screen. If there was a sightly worse way of buying goods from Chinese with a usable app, I'd definitely make the switch!

The whole experience was just bad. Written instructions were broken, like a second language. Zoom commands do not fully respond. But those are just the little things. Vendors are shady, trying to manipulate terms of a sale. And either multiple vendors sell the exact same item, or they steal the same photo. I had to cancel every negotiation because of this nonsense, and will never recommend this to anyone.

I love browsing the site. I wish there were more clarification on all profiles like: Clarity on Shipping Cost, I have no idea what's the real shipping cost the way its formatted gives a unsure feeling not knowing if it's a deal or not, real or not. For example: I am browsing this site as I type this, searching for a good deal on USA E26 Electrical Cord with a Adjustable on/off Switch for Hanging Lamps, plus more. But like so many times over the years, I've not bought yet. Im just unsure. I like

Search option is pretty bad because it doesn't understand what you're typing. But really, it spammed me with pop-ups and kept freezing the app with a notification that I needed to close the app to update it. I checked the store and it's updated so it's a bug. Can't find anything that is related to what I typed + freezes every 15 seconds (I'm not joking)= uninstall.

Not happy with my experience. I have purchased many things on this site and it's a gamble everytime! The items don't match the photos what a complete scam!!! When I try to get a refund the Supplier declines and Alibaba is on the Supplier side everytime and the Buyer has to take a loss . There needs to be some changes. The Supplier needs to be band for stealing photos and trying to copy and create the item because it never comes out like the photo! Unbelievable !!!!

Buyer beware! They have tons of listings that allow you to place items in your cart, checkout and pay. When you pay, there is a 3% transaction fee from Alibaba. Then the suppliers will message you saying their prices have increased, the items are out of stock or shipping costs more. If you don't want to pay the increase, you cancel the order. Guess who refuses to refund the transaction fees. You might think this happens sometimes. Nope. So far it's been 33% of the orders I've placed. SCAM!

Super buggy. I also don't know if I can trust this. Everytime I get in my car it makes a phone call and I can't play music or do anything. If I end the call it takes a few minutes to end, but then it just restarts on it own. Completely closing the app removes the issue, but if I get a message, the app makes a phone call again. The second I uninstalled this app, all of my issues were fixed again. It's definitely the app causing that weird issue.

You'll be amazed. . The variety of products, the crazy prices, the well executed seller (often factory) sites, it all makes for great window shopping if nothing else. And you don't have to buy bulk on everything any more to get a great price either. Shipping is still the catch. But if you are willing to wait or can spread the shipping with quantity.. Have fun

It's just a little hard finding things you want. What I may think it will be and what they will have interpreted to say for sale are two different things App works very smoothly. No problems with it on my droid phone and it updates just fine. Installed 3 different phones & office computer. On my phone for over a year. Makes researching new products and styles very easy. Cuts out the middleman. Too much to look at. LOL

The items are great, but when I click on one of the variation options and add enough that I more than satisfy the minimum requirement, then press the "Send inquiry" button. it just shows a black screen and I have to can't send an inquiry after adding over the minimum quantity. I can get back via phones back button, but can't buy anything. Please assist. I'm on a Pixel 7 Pro running Android 14. Thanks!

It's all around a great app except for the face that I cannot send files through their messenger, only pictures. It is pretty inconvenient since I need to Share other files besides pictures with my suppliers. Please take note of this! to be more specific, i would like to share files (pdf, xls, doc.) and have no option to do so through the app. that is a necessary improvement to answer your question

Very bad and invasive app. I just wanted to search for a product on the website and it kept pushing me to the app like 30 times in 5 minutes. When I finally gave up and installed it, it kept trying to make me sign up and take my information before I even could look at anything. In the end it was buggy and images were overlapping, etc. Just not worthy - Alibaba will never be even close to A****n! Uninstalled.
