I prefer using the website in a web browser. My biggest complaint is this: When someone emails me about something I've listed, I always click on the link to my posting to make sure I know which item they're interested in (I sell a lot of similar items.) Now when I click the link it launches to the apps navigation menu, not my listing. The only way around this is to relaunch the app it or long press on the link and specifically choose to open in rhe browser.

Simple interface makes this app fairly easy to use. Great to have geographical areas separated, included by city. Very handy to be able to look something up by distance from a certain location. Some categories missing, such as childcare jobs. Some overlap in categories. Some misuse by users in categorizing items or jobs, but easy to flag for removal.

Overall app is great. Brings a lot of filtering options to CL. No cost, Ad free, and dark mode. Could be more intuitive and feature rich but hey, you get what you pay for. Unlike many other ads it's not a downscaled version of the website-it actually adds capability, which is great. Wish there was something like this for FB Marketplace.

this app has been on my wish list forever! this does a really good job being simple and fairly easy to use. I love having the search features including saved searches with email delivery. it could use some more fancy interface buttons and so forth but it's not worth submitting a ticket or feature request because I'm just happy to have the app instead of one of the many third party options.

Occasionally loads, usually doesn't. Shows items that have been removed from the website, alerts on replies are hit or miss. Randomly restarts. I've done all the normal "fixes", and nothing changes. Another app that was designed to gather downloads, with no concern for whether it actually functions. Uninstalled, might reinstall if they push another update out to see if it's changed.

When you download the app, it changes some of the view and format, not only for the app but also for the web. Before I downloaded the app, I was using Craigslist on the web. When you went into the cars and trucks section, your thumbnail or gallery would show the mileage on most vehicle. When you download the app the mileage is no longer visible unless you go into the ad. This happens both on the web and the app. Sent an inquiry to Craigslist with no response. That's the reason for the low score.

Been using Craigslist since before apps were a thing, and I was pleasantly surprised to find they made a very smooth transition from website to app! We just had a huge garage sale today after posting yesterday... No frills, works great, even a very smooth interface for adding and organizing photos on the post. The best part: publishing directly in the app rather than having to go find an email with a link in it like in the olden days :D

Its an okay app. CL has always been basic and I'm fine with that. Although I would really love to have the ability to select multiple photos at a time for creating a post. With my Samsung, I have to navigate through 4 folders and then scroll for ages for every single picture. It seriously takes 10 minutes to select the individual pictures for upload when it could be 30 seconds with a simple change in programming.

I used to use another app when CL wasn't taking mobile seriously, but this one has taken center stage over roughly the last year. It does everything I ask of it and does it without difficulty. I have purchased, posted, and saved my favorite searches with key words for quick reference, and enjoy the reasonably good UI. For what it is for, I can't imagine it getting too much better.

I love cl and this app has a lot going for it, I like that you can limit searches by area using the map. unfortunately, at least on a nexus 5 phone, the app is very slow and a source of frequent frustration. navigating away from the app and then returning to it 'restarts' the app and you have to look at a loading screen for about 20 seconds. haven't seen this behavior on any other app. I do use this app every day so it can't be all bad, but the reloading is a big drag.

Not ready. Keep working on it. I appreciate the fact that they FINALLY created an official app for craigslist. It's just far from being ready. The website is easier to navigate through. Easier to update posts. And less buggy. Biggest issue is when I click on links through my email, it opens up older craigslist listings, not the current one I am attempting to look at.

A simple site gets a simple app - I suppose that's fine. I'd give it another half a star but that's not an option. A bit confusing of an interface. Zero bells and whistles - not much are needed, but maybe things like reminders and warnings to renew a listing, asking if it's still available, etc. would be helpful. And biometrics instead of passwords would be great. But the price can't be beat.

Quirky, frustrating to navigate, and when you go to swipe left to see a picture of what you want to look at, the app instead takes you to the next listing instead many times. It needs a dead space that's larger for scrolling while in an ad, and leave only the farthest edges for moving to next listing. Also zooming in and out is clunky, jumps you into other pictures too easily when you just want to look at the details of a single photo instead. It's just plain sloppy UI, needs some work.

*edit* A year and a half later and the previous issues seem to be fixed; the app works as it should and is more convenient than using it on PC. Can't really ask for more. "Credibility check failed." is now preventing me from using the app. Before that the main problem was you can never switch to any app or window without it losing it's place and bringing you back to the home screen, very frustrating.

I'm not sure how this Craigslist official app is pulling 4.6 stars. Craigslist plus was far better. Craigslist in an app version is about the only positive side. The inability to select specific cities is the worst feature they've implemented. A radius circle by distance is a very bad idea. This isn't a trader magazine, it's classified adds. Give an option of one or the other at minimum. The inability to have a default sorting option is very annoying. Sorting by distance should default.

is experience is far far better than the other apps that came along to use for craigslist. The user experience is really nice smooth and easy to navigate through. The one thing I hate about craigslist is their removal of stuff you may have saved and you can't even see it no more. it will come up as item expired and you can't even go to it for a reference anymore

The app is trash. It's super glitchy. It has phantom clicks: opens pictures for no reason without me pressing buttons, brings up a menu to "save to downloads" for no reason without me clicking on anything at all. All while I'm just trying to browse. It happens a lot, it wastes my time a lot because it significantly increases the amount of time it takes to simply look at listings. If I'm not clicking on stuff, I shouldn't have to waste time backing out of stuff back to back to back again & again
