A very good buy and sell app for all Australians. You can find almost anything, cars, fridges, even jobs, much more too. Not only is it very easy to use, it's filters and recommendation system can be very helpful. A feature that this could use would be dark mode because scrolling at night can be a bit of a strain, and accuracy in terms of item availability, sometimes it says an item is available but when you tap on it, it says "ad no longer available" sometimes which is a bit annoying.
I have always loved Gumtree. 99% of my transactions have been positive. Great for finding a bargain. Update: a really useful feature would be the ability to filter out results by keywords. It might just be me but there seems to be a lot of listed ads of people offering things "for hire" in the items for sale section which gets really annoying to have to sift through. Being able to filter out the keyword "hire" would be great
Always interesting to see different things for sale , and easy access. Gumtree has progressed over the years , can't see it getting any better than all it is now ,thanks🙌👐😉it's a fantastic gift to people everywhere. I recently bought 2.items and had them sent interstate ,direct to a friend .it all went perfectly ,thanks again 👍🌞
Password shown in clrar text when registering... Select photos from library when creating and ad is bately usable. Why not provide options to select from other document providers instead of just device folders, which btw does not provide access to all content . Adding to the mist of things that don't work: ok one posting my first add and even getting a notification saying that it has been created I can now not find my add in the app 🤦♂️
Not very good overall. It's great that it has free options to advertise goods for sale yet you have to renew ad within the same day to keep "visibility high"! Also doesn't send notifications when people message most of the time despite having all the pertinent settings on! Very dodgy....
Messaging system is broken. Some messages are not getting through to the recipient even though it shows that they have been read at the sender's end. Has caused me to believe that the recipient is ignoring my messages and has created misunderstandings.
I like the App except that my saved searches get deleted over time and I have to reinstate them. And of late, when saved items are sold to others, there is no longer a notification this has happened. I miss that.
[UPDATE: A year after no changes] Why don't you improve search filter for cars? It's not a rocket science. 1. RWC filter. 2 Drive train: why I can't choose only one option, what if I want to see two or more at the same time? Say, 4x4 and AWD. The same with body type. Sedan + hatchback, SUV and UTE, whatever.
I like how easy it is to look up the items you are interested in.,,but...I don't like all the extra items you show, when I've described a particular item!!!
You used to be able to repost expired ads 20 at a time, but now it's only 3 then it takes you back to the start. You waste a lot of time doing it this way. I would click on the expired ad emails and it would take me to Gumtree and a list of expired ads came up to repost. That doesn't happen anymore?
Easy to use, well presented and navigate you're way round. No real problems yet encountered. Really comes down to seeing if you can buy some goodies through Gumtree, though this of course has no reflection upon the quality of the app itself.
Mostly a good experience with this app. However I don't recieve notifications about new listings immediately.. There is no a lag between when ads are posted and receiving notifications. Please fix. Thanks
Despite the advertisements, Gumtree has been a valuable platform for me. It allowed me to sell my plants at a pace that was manageable and helped me build a reputation as an honest broker. I'm often slow to deliver feedback. It can be a challenge to critique gently. I believe there is a place for gumtree for those of us unfamiliar with Facebook. The advertising stream in Gumtree is the reason for my four star review, ( they can be a bit much). A small price to pay for sellers however. Thanks!
I never give anything top marks, otherwise, its like saying there's no room for improvement. I have had good experiences using a fantastic free selling platform such as Gumtree so far. An sms messaging service that is more comprehensively designed may do better...on the other hand many scammers seem to be on these types of sites taking advantage of the trusting ppl! So, who cares if you feel rude, just triple check everything!
It's handy however I wish the message buttons "sorry, it's already been sold" and "yes its still available " weren't at the bottom of the message screen. I often accidentally tap them which can cause problems when trying to sell something
The advertising in this app is ridiculous. You can't view a single listing without at least one advertisement, sometimes three.
Damn frustrating. This app deletes messages, portions of messages and, especially regularly, saved searches. I now use it sparingly and lean more on Facebook marketplace. Very unstable and annoying.
In all the years I have been using Gumtree this app has always been a exercise in frustration. This time around it refuses to let me enter an asking price as the field stays greyed out for no reason. Now I can enter a price but when I attempt to post it tells me to fill out all required fields. Perhaps the app should take me to the missing information field because I have no idea what it's on about.Every other selling/buying platform gets it right but not this app, always something not working.
Doesn't work on Samsung Tablet in Landscape mode running Android 11 or 12 Can scroll but no information access have to turn tablet to Portrait to be able to read. Been like this for over 12 months and not fixed, Do people with laptops have to turn them on their side to read advertisements !!!!! I don't think so 👎👎👎
No longer works in landscape mode. Can't scroll down to read descriptions. Almost 6 months later, app is sill broken. Developer obviously on permanent leave. 18th April 2022 update - still doesn't work in landscape mode.
The buyers of this platform are some of the most uncommunicative I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with! Almost every time someone asks me a question I respond but do I get a reply? No! They just leave me hanging, thinking I might have a sale even when I send messages to try & spur a response from them. I've even had people be upset after I take a listing down because it sold else where, when they never got back to me after the initial response. Honestly the Facebook Market is better
Why show the ad after the search results appear? If you click on a searched item, the late appearing ad pushes the search results down and what's clicked is not what was intended.
mostly good nothing worth complaining about nothing is perfect. I recommend this app highly. I do TRUST this app. That can't be said about a lot of other apps out there. I find it user-friendly.
I'M GETTING 2 TO 3 MAX PEOPLE EVERY DAY WANTING TO BUY SOMETHING THEN THEY GO SILENT EVERY TIME IT'S ABSOLUTELY MADNESS, BE PROFESSIONAL FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. STILL CRASHING WITH WHITE SCREEN WHEN EDITING MY LISTINGS. The app is ad riddled which breaks the outdated app and all who buy of gumtree are 50 percent unreliable, it's madness. If you don't intend to buy then P O, simple. Waste my time loosers. I will be going back to eBay because this is insanity. DON'T BOTHER
Won't notify me if I get a message but constantly sends notifications something vaguely relating to something I searched for one time has been listed for sale.
The links to the ads are wrong. each time I try to click on an ad a different one opens.
Try and sell anything and you will be bombarded with scammers with no support from Gumtree admin. Don't even think about paying for a priority listing, it will only expose your add to more scammers and not the listing they say will happen. I paid and searched on my friends account. This is one of the worst platforms to sell your product on. What a load of sh.......
App works. Can post an ad, read messages. Search is easy to use. The classified ads are usually relevant. Website doesn't work so well, full of Google ads and slow to load. Suggested improvements- option in website to forward gumtree messages to sms, a tick box to opt out of either ads or bump-up begging, option to ignore certain sellers when generating my watchlist emails.
