The two leading mobile marketplaces in the U.S., OfferUp and Letgo, are joining forces to create a new powerhouse. OfferUp acquired Letgo on July 1, 2020.
Trying to use this app to sell items has become such a horrible experience. Freezes and crashes constantly while just trying to create a posting. I have to save a new post and try to get out of it before finishing because it begins to freeze up. Then when I try to edit the post to add more details, it crashes before I can a full line of text. Annoying to say the least!
Right off the bat: I listed three things on OfferUp shortly after creating an account. I verified my email & phone # beforehand. The listings were removed within minutes of posting them. No explanation as to why (their website claims that when a post is removed, they’ll send you an email). The listings were not duplicates and did not involve prohibited items. I’m now unable to get in contact with a customer service rep. Long story short: I’m going back to Craigslist.
I have been using OfferUp since before it merged with Letgo. I have never had any issues with posting listings, buying items, or selling items. The user interface is actually very user friendly in my opinion. There are alot of ads though, which is a nuisance. Only way around the ads to subscribe to their premium service, which will be ad free. Only thing I don’t like is the inability to delete a listing. You can only archive it at this time. However, these few issues aren’t deal killers for me.
The app serves it’s purpose, I’m able to search, buy and sell fine. My problem is the messaging within the app it’s so slow to load and almost makes you want to communicate with the seller or buyer outside the app (which they themselves recommend not to do). But what can I do if it takes minutes for messages to finally load? Please fix, it used to work fine so don’t know what you guys did to make it slower. I have a pixel 3a and have already uninstalled and reinstalled the app with no change.
It’s been terrible since the last few updates. It’s like the updates are making it worse. Can’t delete text in search by hitting X, keyboard doesn’t show predictive text, search results are inaccurate, items are on there from 3 years ago that. Update 12/14/22 – new update seems to have fixed most of the issues. It would be nice to see items expire so you’re not wasting your time looking at items that are more than likely not going to bear fruit.
Not showing the prices before you click the item makes this nigh unusable. Every other app I’ve used to buy/sell shows the price right there and they do that because it makes sense. I understand wanting to do something to make the app stand out from the others but making it more difficult to traverse seems counterintuitive. It works fine I guess but I’m never willing to look through more than 3 items at a time.
This is the redheaded child of selling apps. You know you have it but it’s easily forgotten. The app is clunky and slow, you have to click on each button twice for it to be processed to the next screen very frustrating and very slow. This is the last app that I update and post on. While the other three apps I use have my top priority because they are user friendly and I get results.
12/8 edit: Keyboard suddenly stopped working?? I don’t have autocorrect anymore. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app. There was NO reason to overhaul this app. It did not need it. It was simple, quick, and easy to use for everyone before. Even a grandma could use it. And although they tried to clean it up, it somehow looks so much worse. You guys should be able to tell by the feedback, this update has had the opposite effect and is very negative.
The app works, but good lord is it lacking. While I have made some good sales and buys on the app, it didn’t become apparent just how much there is to be desired from the app until more recently. It’s embarrassingly slow, the app glitches and takes forever to load new messages, menus, or updates, and the keyboard will sometimes cover what you’re typing as well. Not to mention the app could use more in the way of options for streamlining the posting, selling, and rating process.
Having the same experience as everyone else as of lately. I thought it was just me. The app lags, freezes, then shuts down as I try to either respond to a message or edit a product Description. I’ve moved on to other apps such as ebay and mercari because it’s frustrating. Also, please allow sellers to relist and renew items. This app is very outdated compared to others.
Absolutely atrocious selling app in terms of customer service as well as the user interface. Full of scams as well and your browsing page is littered with adverts that will take you out of the app and to places like Walmart or Amazon. Hard to tell the difference between an actual listing and the ads because the adverts are set up in the same manner as the listings are.
The app is great as long as you don’t need any help with anything. Their customer service / help system is completely automated, and emails are canned responses that don’t read or address anything you send to them. I was trying to tell them about a technical flaw in their system but all I get is a canned response to restart my phone. The issue is on the backend, not my phone. How frustrating. Updated: reduced to 1 star after getting even more automated responses.
Overall my experience with OfferUp has been very good. I do wish that our items for sale would run through the feed at least three times before we are charged to promote the item. The only other issue I have is when I make a sale the $ amount of the sale is automatically entered as items listed price. Rarely do I sell an item at listed price. It is usually 10-20% less than the listed amount. this can make quite a difference regarding income taxes.
After update when setting search distance and local vs ship, the settings don’t stay. Either the distance or ship (or both) will go back to default. Sure would be nice to set a default that I choose (perhaps In App settings) and always use that. Also, when you search for a specific item, popular items show up above the items that you actually use. Recent searches should always be on top instead of items that are useless to the user.
Platform has gone to trash. Use to run smoothly up until last 5-6 months. Does not show newest listings first, random dates scattered of posted items, regardless of settings which do not help either. Constant lag is another issue. Use to be a phenomenal platform for buying and selling, not sure what the deal is. If you use actual browser it is alot better but constant lags when going to view an item as well.
Cannot +pics that are stored on my device. Hard to add details due to cannot post from PC. Cannot edit posts once they are listed. The phone app does not show the price unless you click on the item. That is different from the PC web browser. Should include the price on the phone app to make searching quicker. 2021-12-04 update. Still two stars. I don’t get offer updates on my phone or email when someone asks me a question. 1/13/23 need to turn off VPN to use. Not secure! Even though I’m Tru U.
Used to love this app. The last few updates have basically broken it and now it’s basically a waste of time to try and use. I know messages go undelivered because I have tested this by messaging friends who never receive them. I used to pay for promoted listings but can’t justify that anymore. On top of all this I’ve been experiencing the same keyboard, lagging, crashing, and terrible search function issues everyone else has. I’ll come back when the app is fixed.
This app disables swipe texting on my keyboard. The entire app is glitching. You can’t offer a different “offer” price. It just sends the already offered price as the offer. You can’t hit/use the enter button to start a new line in the chat area. The quality of this app has steadily decreased over the years. So many ads. So much fraud.
The app is great, but it has one annoying attribute. Some search results will show items that are months old, even a year or two old. There should be an expiration date on the posts. The app should also have a HISTORY tab. Sometimes I’ll find an item of interest. Do some research about it on my browser. When I come back to the OfferUp app, it takes me to the home page and I have to try to find the item again. Half the time it won’t show up in the search.
Cancelled my account at first for no reason. Claimed their “AI” did it. Well they need to get rid of it because it’s a VERY BAD first impression. Horrible. Also, the pics in the ads aren’t zoomable with pinch out. In an app that’s a marketplace, that’s unforgivable. I want to see the detail of what I might buy. CL has this feature and to be the best, you have to beat the best. Now go do it! You barely avoided ONE STAR simple because the app works…. Somewhat…
For some reason the app has been VERY laggy (with frequent crashes) the past few weeks. It makes the app nearly unusable. A couple bugs I’ve noticed: 1) keyboard takes several seconds to initiate after clicking on the search box 2) when clicking on a message notification, it takes 10 full seconds for the app to open and the message thread to fully load. 3) the app will crash after entering a search and the results come up. This makes the app unusable.
Have used it many times to buy and sell stuff without any issues. I like how you can just keep contact within the app and not have to give out your phone number. My only suggestions at the moment are to have posts expire so that ones from years ago do not continue to show in search results…also, the ability to delete a post instead of just archiving.
Lags way too much. I can’t be on it for more than 2 minutes before it freezes or kicks me off. Would be nice to be able to post something, and it does not freeze, then kick me off, causing me to have to redo the entire post. It’s exhausting trying to have to remember everything that I’d already written down. I miss the old offer up. This new update really does suck.
I’ve been on OfferUp for many, many years. The app just progressively gets slower and more difficult to create postings. Latest update now prevents Android keyboard from using predictive text, automatic capitalization, automatic period after 2 spaces, etc. Why in the world would they do this? Inexcusable. Elon needs to buy this app and fix it.
The company claims to be “focused on the app” every time I complain about lack of basic functionality on their browser interface. So how can the app still be so awful? It doesn’t remember basic preferences, clogged with so many ads, hard to navigate, and missing basic and obvious functionality. I find myself using this app less and less. They are so focused on ad revenue that they have forgotten their customers. They are going to ad-blast their way to non-existence.
The app would crash every time I tried to post something. Filling out a description or more sections would cause the app to crash, and I would have to forcefully shut it down. The OfferUp team doesn’t know really when someone violates community guidelines. My account was banned twice, first from an error on their end, and second they are refusing to tell me. Their systems do not seem very legit as well as very scam likely. It is a good app yeah, but they need to have better customer service.
App is getting worse and worse on my Samsung Note20. I don’t receive notifications in a timely manor, and yes, they’re turned on, APP IS EXTREMELY SLOW, cannot edit crop on pictures once listing is posted, app freezes when you try, and now, typing is a NIGHTMARE! No spaces after words unless u remember the space bar, no return button for a separate paragraph. The developers don’t care anymore as they don’t respond nor do they fix the issues. App is on it’s way to obsolete. As of 11-19-2022
I have used this app for a while. It has made me sales where I am. However, it’s more difficult to make more expensive sales on this than cheap sales where I live. And that has been like that since I have been using it since 2017. Not long ago it started becoming slow, I thought it was my wifi at first but, I tested other apps and they do not have this issue. Their are some things that need fixing but all in all it’s very useful if you need to make quick, mostly cheap sales, at least for me.
Edit: 11/2022: Less scams on the platform which is great. App crashes and has to be uninstalled and reinstalled weekly which is bad. Once great, now more scams then anything. I’ve reported more scams then I care to consider and yet they come back over and over. I can’t understand how it is so hard to filter out the scams. I used to browse randomly multiple times a day. Now it is not worth even searching for a specific item.
For years this app has been awesome. I’ve gotten rid of so many items I no longer use, and if I’m looking for stuff I will search here, for sure. Recently the items I had posted for sale disappeared completely. And my messages on the app are getting forwarded through email. Don’t know what’s going on, hopefully this issue gets resolved soon.
Thank goodness FB is letting me ship so I can delete my OfferUp account lol –Previous Review– Let’s hope this update actually fixes something. The last update broke uploading multiple photos at one time while still being just as slow and inefficient as the previous version. This has been typical of OfferUp for the better half of the past decade. I really do miss LetGo a lot but unfortunately only the version you can download and still use is not for this country so no one nearby will use it.
Update: This app has some serious software bugs, and it makes me scared to use the app to list items for sale. Every time I try to list something, the app starts to get slower and slower until it freezes my entire phone and I can’t do anything about until I wait a couple minutes for the app to “catch up” and then I quit the app and try again. It is very annoying and I can barely list items because of this. I have the Samsung Galaxy S22 5G on Android 13 and it shouldn’t be this bad after months.
Not bad but need more and better features. The search engine outright sucks. They like to show you things that you have looked at before. I just want to see everything that is being sold in my area not just what I have looked at before. Last and the biggest issue is that if you have an issue with a seller don’t expect “Offer Up” to help in anyway. Amazon and eBay do so it’s more like craigslist or the wild west. Knowing this before hand sets an expectation.
Doesn’t work on newer phone. Google Pixel 6 Pro. Contacted customer service which took a long time to respond. Fully described in detail my issues. They asked what issue I was having after already giving them info. Told them to refer to first email. Then just get a response saying they are aware of the issue that the app hangs, never loads. There is no fix & just wait for an update. Have updated the app many times since then. Reinstalled multiple times. Still doesn’t work at all. Useless CS.
Best for buying but worst for advertising in-app. I have been trying to advertise on my s21 note dor last 3 hours. It keeps crashing if I start writing more than 3 lines. It works only if I copy paste a large context written somewhere else. This is all in-app problem. Also, they NEVER fixed my app problem that couldn’t Map to my phone number. They said they deleted all my records I’m order to reset but they still can’t fix it. I lost all my ADs and messages randomly.
This app just creates useless notifications on your phone. It alerts me that people I follow have new items but when I click on it, it’s empty. That is not useful. That is annoying. I get that they are trying to improve engagement with but false engagement is worse. They need to have better notification categories than just general and offerup. What does that mean? Yes, I know the app is called Offerup but what kind of notifications are they? Provide more transparency please.
I’m very disappointed, no customer support. My account was disabled with no warning or explanation. I was in the middle of a transaction with someone. I bought three items from them, and we dedicated to stop the order to save money for shipping. Shortly after, offer up disabled my account. I been trying to email them call them and message them in IG. No response. I have been with offer up for years, and it worked really hard to get great ratings. They ghost me when I really need support.
Serious issues on Android (S10 and Note 20 Ultra). I have been experiencing a 20-second lag to view content when opening the app on both my old Samsung S10 and now Note 20. Thouht it was an issue with my old phone but same issue with my new phone as well. Also, when posting an ad on the body, the NEXT button has been removed and only shows DONE, so I am unable to set a space in between 2 paragraphs. I have the latest offerup version installed, cleared cache, and am so not sure what else to do!!
It used to be a great app, but for the last year+ it lags bad. Like I’m waiting on the thing to load my inbox for a whole 2 moms just so I can contact the person I’m trying to me The app behaved the same on 2 different phones. But the most frustrating thing of all, I rarely get notified of a new message from a potential buyer and have missed out on countless sales. After the new phone, it worked for the first week. And now, it only ever notifies me of items from followers and other promotions.
Been a rollercoaster with this app. Downloaded earlier this year, had to email support services for help. App functioning a lot better now, but NO ONE ever responds to my inquiries, even people who have high ratings and are clearly active. My messages are delivered but never seen. Not sure if this is a user issue or an app error. Idk but it’s frustrating. Haven’t had any success purchasing the item I want, and I’ve been trying for months.
