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.
I have been using this app for many years and used to always recommend it, but it has really gone downhill, especially if you’re trying to do more than just browse. The site freezes when trying to send messages to sellers to communicate about an item. Often, if you’re not going to be able to send more than the auto populated/suggested comments because of keyboard freezing. The same is true if you’re getting to list an item, you can’t add description without feezing.
The offer up concept and website are great. The app constantly crashes, runs slowly, takes forever to do anything. It used to run very well… But it has been a year with a terrible product. I’ve waited for improvements that just aren’t arriving. I want to continue using this, but I’m about to uninstall entirely
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!
Broken app. Over time, and not a very long time, it stops showing the full texts of the ads. So you won’t see name and description after the title and price. This just started happening so I assume it’s something in the latest update. You know the saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. It applies here. Or at least TEST your stuff before you release it! Not ONE STAR but heading there!
Edit: They now have auto paying music in their adds. Also, you have to manually adjust your search parameters every time you open the app. Search and browse formats are obnoxious and clunky. Have to search through drop down menus to find a specific sub category that you want to browse. No more free section either (that I can find). It didn’t work great before, but at least it was simple to navigate.
It would be great if it wasn’t for the annoying details they program. Why would the popular searches be on top? Recent searches are WAY more useful. If I wanted to find a trailer I would just search it, I don’t need offer up to pitch it to me on top every time. Not only are the popular searches on top inconvenient, your recent searches show up for a split second and when you click on one of your recent searches it quickly switches to the popular searches and you click on something not intended.
Edit: 01/21/23 App still is useless in notifications. I don’t see why I have these options for notifications in the settings, yet I still get these annoying and useless “check out these popular______!” Or ” based on your search” notifications constantly. All I want is to know when someone messages me, that’s it. And on the topic of search, it’s be nice to be able to clear mine, so I don’t see the same items I may have searched weeks ago. If it’s an option to do so, it isn’t very streamlined…
So offer up was a good app. Now it just freezes after typing for 10 seconds. Then it crashes. I’m a patient person I tried to let it catch up but I just completely crashes. It’s litterally not usable in the current state I reached out to support no answer. As is seen by other reviews many people have reached out to them so apparently they don’t care not sure I will use the app again if they don’t care enough to respond.
some items are listed for years and have potential to be still available. if they are not available I would like a feature that asked the seller if the item is in fact available, like a reminder. it would also help to weed out the people that are no longer using the app. Also the payment side for shipping seems excessive. other payment options would be great as a well.
Freezes and crashes when trying to list items to sell! Ever since the update a couple months back, app constantly freezes and crashes when you try to TYPE ur description for the item ur trying to sell, and it’s so incredibly FRUSTRATING! I used to really like this app and used it all the time to sell my stuff, but now it’s virtually unusable. So sad. Hopefully, they can fix this issue soon…
Great for finding odds n ends at a doable price. Annoying that ancient, forgotten listings can’t be filtered. Malfunctions but doesn’t notify when it needs all too frequent updates. The algorithm doesn’t show what you’re searching for but you may find it a month later and see it was listed three months ago.
Worthless app, worthless desktop site – PLEASE ADD THE ABILITY TO EDIT LISTINGS ON THE DESKTOP SITE. The app constantly crashes, which you can always foresee coming once you slowly lose your ability to type without it freezing. Oh, but of course you can’t just hop on the desktop site on your laptop to edit posts with a full keyboard, that would be too easy. The site doesn’t allow editing of listings, doesn’t even allow you to create a new listing. What is even the point of the desktop site?
Great app. Easy to post and you can pretty much sell anything. I do recommend for everyone to read the guidelines on What you can post prior to posting. The only downfall is it does freez up alot when changing from any search options they have, like from post to selling etc. 1 thing I think would be great if when your looking at someone’s postings you can just swipe left or right to the next picture also for the browse page that has everyone’s postings. Also if it had to sound notification
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.
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.
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 lag on the app as of lately has been crazy. App is solid over-all, just lacking on the user interface and performance. Maybe there is a better way to set up the layout of the app to improve work flow! I would love to see something like this!!! *******UPDATE******** Has gotten progressively worse. Just waited about a minute for the messages to stop bugging out. Every other app on my phone experiences no issues. UI needs a serious rework!! U Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Please fix thanks 🙏🏻
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.
UNREPENTANT SPAMMERS! They keep sending me notifications, even though I’ve turned off notifications. I contacted tech support and they just gave me the runaround, pretending they didn’t understand my complaint, trying to blame third parties, etc. I even sent them a screen shot showing that I’d turned off notifications and another showing their notifications. I do not like dealing with a company which shows such contempt for their customers.
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.
A lesson in how to ruin an app and use experience!! Once was a great app. Horrible since it merged with LetGo. Searching is way too inconsistent. Way to many fake listing. Somehow it’s gotten even worse!!! Everything thing is so slow and there are constant notifications even though I opted out of all notifications.
It’s a very good app, but whenever I log off and look myself up, no items I am selling show up! Rather than that, it’s pretty good. I hope this problem is not because of a corrupt account because that means it can happen to more people. Rather than that, it is perfect! It offers more options like analytics than the computer web version.
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.
Have used this since before the Let go merge and it does work fairly well and there are enough people now that you can reasonably expect to sell an item quickly. One major issue I have with it is the posts need and expiration date. Whenever I search for something, I find posts sometimes dating years back. There should be a time limit (30, 60 days, etc.) and if exceeded then have to repost or renew.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
