Often connection failure

Very useful site, only issue I have is when searching for an item it should come up with the nearest items first instead of finding a bargain only to discover its 150mils away!!!

The notification system on this app is very inconsistent, and for that reason I've often missed messages from potential buyers.

Poor sell through rate and cannot compete with other platforms like Vinted , shock eBay Depop etc
Hard to sell anything.. not enough promotions, advertising incentives.. increasingly less buyers on gumtree now due to other platforms making it free and easy to sell for sellers.. and for buyers

It wants to work
Very choppy, laggy, doesn't always update the search, using backspace tap will remove text faster than the x tap. That one rarely ever works. Messages don't always appear and when they do, no notifications. In all fairness, using the website is still a better option. Hopefully the app gets better, I would love to be able to use it.

Impossible to delete
They have me jumping through hoops to delete the account asking for a lot of info to disincentivize the deletion. Toxic UX and no respect for users. I won't be back.
