The app works well and it runs pretty smooth. The bad, when you buy something from a seller, show a picture or more detail of what you bought so it’s easier to find your purchases. Ex: Not just auction XL 002. More clarification on shipping the shipping cost is all over the place and getting more expensive. Some sellers say free, then your paying shipping, b/c it’s free after you win 6 auctions. Showing total cost on purchase tab. Better interface on past auction videos to find your purchases.
Overall a very cool platform & great way to support small sellers. The app can be pretty buggy at times with severe visual/audio slowdown, buffering issues, and delayed chat inputs. These problems seem to increase directly with time used, so perhaps some sort of memory leak? idk Some QOL changes would improve the experience as well, such as keeping a cache of select streams to support quick switching between auctions – or a way to pin streams to the screen to cut out excess page navigation.
Really like the live auctions. Some great sellers and great deals. I wish they would clean up all the gambling with the wheels and games of chance. Makes the whole experience feel cheap. Not to mention such a pain when searching for actual auctions. Maybe put them in a different category. 5 stars if they can figure that out.
For the past week or So my ability to enter an amount for a custom bid when the auction is running has went away. I can only hit the plus or minus buttons on custom bid. I have an android phone. It used to let me enter in a number on custom bid and that has gone away please fix this ASAP. Also I have found that you can’t see shares on Android phones like you can on iphone among a few other things. Would be nice for android and iPhones to have the same abilities no matter what phone you have.
Recently, I have been scammed by a seller. Seems cut and dry, bought 14 items, and none were shipped. 2 weeks, messaged seller, contacted whatnot, and received their automated we’ll be back to you in 24 hours. Its been multiple days, zero contact from seller or whatnot and $350 is gone. EDIT: This was eventually resolved, but it just happened again. Obvious fraud by seller, bought 9 items worth $210, I was sent 1 card not even worth $1. It’s been days, no help other than automated. STAY AWAY!!!!
Great deals and fun interactions with the sellers and other buyers. Items received quickly after I win a bid. App can be unstable. Examples: screen freezes. lag time between seller describing item and end of auction so that the buyer can’t place a bid. Sometimes the auction part of the screen disappears. Or audio breaks up and I can’t understand the seller. I update the app, or uninstall and reinstall often. I’m on a Samsung Galaxy S21.
Good App, want to give it 5 stars but there app in the Google play store isn’t as efficient. If you’re not on an IPhone you can’t view the map of where your orders. Also my orders in my history are repeating. It goes through my list of order, then that list repeats. So everything is listed twice. Quite annoying for a high volume buyer. These need to be fixed asap.
The app is great but it needs to be optimized a bit better for Android phones. You are not able to tag people in chat by clicking on their name like on Iphone. There is also a lagging effect that happens on Android that does not affect iPhone as often. You also can not keep a stream open while scrolling through the app on Android. Please update as soon as possible.
Nothing but glitches and excuses. There are too many scammers. Half are selling bootlegs and the other half run mystery games and never ship the items. I referred in multiple sellers with a seller referral link and they never paid out the $100 for any of them. The support is lacking. The fees are charged per item so sellers make 20-37 cents on $1 items which ridiculous where as competitors charge the service fee on the entire order. They charge 33 percent to tip.
I do like the app, once I figured a few things out. The buying experience is pretty secure and easy. The downfall is, as a buyer if you get a refund it takes 5 days. That is unacceptable, they take their money immediately upon purchase so refunds should be the same way. Also as a seller we should not have to wait over 48hrs after delivery and review to get paid. The app gets theirs immediately, the people get their products and the seller is left sitting there waiting. The fees are to high to.
I love the platform and what it’s about but my app keeps bugging tf out. It will shut out the audio so i can see the video but cant hear it at all making me force it shut then reopening it or it wont show any messages through the chat or see the guveaway the tab again causing me to force the app closed and reopening it. I’ve done it at least 5 times in a singular day! it needs an update!
Well I spent my Friday night down the rabbit hole that is WHATNOT…I wish I could say I had a good time. The sellers some are great, some were not. The biggest problem is the app doesn’t work right, it freezes constantly and you really have to know what your doing or you will spend more in shipping than the items themselves. If your gonna be a live auction app, then do it well instead of what is happening now. You can’t participate if you can’t follow along due to glitches and freezing etc
Do not download this app. It is a terrible app and for starters, is not newbie friendly. The app does not give good direction for start up and while I’ve only had the app for 3 days. I have not been able to bid on anything during the live shows due to an unknown app error that occurs anytime I try to click on anything. Upon initial download my account was automatically locked due to me not knowing how to complete the application process and poor directions given. I would love to use the app.
I was unable to choose local pickup and my PayPal was automatically charged for shipping without having the option being given for local pickup. 🙁 With my second order I was able to select local pickup and check out with no shipping charge. However the merchant bundle shipped it with the first item and I was charged $2.11 without my consent. Absolutely terrible they can upcharge u without ur approval. I’ll be filing a complaint with PayPal for unauthorized charges.
I love whatnot. I love most of the people on Whatnot too. But a couple of things. One, I don’t like not being able to cancel with some buyers. Some are very nice about it. Some are real nasty, and accidents and things do happen. Please change. Is there anything you can do about shipping it’s a bit out of hand,can’t you do a total end of show with buyers instead of each item at a time? Because one you add taxes and shipping each time and each item making it too expensive.Need to cut cost for buys
The “shows” are entertaining to say the least. Some hosts are slow and boring and others full of themselves. There are killer deals on items to be had and some you could likely find the same items cheaper and close to home, saving yourself shipping costs. From diamond jewelry to Pokemon cards, Whatnot has everything you could possibly ever want and many things you have to have that you didn’t know you needed. Tread lightly, as it is easy to get caught up in the moment and spend too much money!
The app itself is okay. The user interface often overlaps and ends up blocking parts of itself. As a platform, it is really clunky. Not a great place to buy or sell. I find that sellers are constantly cancelling and moving their auctions. Profits on predatory gambling and the illusion of human connection. It seems to be a frustrating place to actually buy anything. So much nonsense!
This app sucks! Good luck uploading photos. It is a toss-up if 1 or 6 will upload, if they will be in order, then the question is will they stay? When they disappear, “you must have never uploaded a picture” (which is required to publish), and if you add one, you lose prebids. I could go on for hours about all of the app issues, but they honestly could care less
Ridiculous! I have 2 order issues with 2 different sellers. One is stuck at pre shipment for 2 weeks, and the other is stuck in transit. I reached out to the seller first, and after 10 days without an update, I reached out to whatnot. They told me to wait until October 25th, so I did. One of my orders started tracking just now, October 26, and whatnot telling me to wait another 2 weeks for the item to be delivered! Like wth? I would just cancel this order if this app let me!! Extremely delayed!
Its not the sellers, its the app. This app is awful. There is no way to follow a return request. “Whatnot will let you know.” The sellers are great, it’s the app and software that are not user friendly. As a buyer, you should be able to see everything about an order when looking in your history. Purchase, messages and or return labels & requests regarding it. A phone # or customer service would be very helpful. I got a refund, with zero instruction on how to return the item.
