craigslist Customer Insights

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.It seems that Craigslist like every other App/website wants to change over the years.

4. Photos can be easily displayed or uploaded, and changed or edited etc.... Overall a great tool for selling or buying!! Oh yes, it's free!Probably the best Craigslist app in terms of features.

5. I do very much prefer Craigslist to other apps like Offerup and others, so that's still good.Very easy to use.

6. Uninstalled, might reinstall if they push another update out to see if it's changed.I prefer using the website in a web browser.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. Even though I didn't sell my item on craigslist, I would still recommend it to anyone for whatever it is they'd like to sell.

11. I wait another 5 seconds, hit it again, then a few seconds later, all of the back button presses that I guess have queued up, fire off at once.
