Review summary

Recurring issues across reviews include notification problems, forced re-login, intrusive advertising, and stability concerns. Users still praise ease of use and the platform's usefulness for buying/selling, but reliability and security problems persist.

Pros

Easy to use / user-friendly app that makes buying and selling straightforward.
Useful platform for finding bargains and free items, and for listing items for sale.
Positive interactions in some listings, e.g., quick communications and fair deals.

Cons

Push notifications are unreliable or not delivered, causing missed messages (often only email alerts arrive).
You have to log in every time you open the app, which is inconvenient.
Excessive and intrusive ads, including pop-ups and promotional banners (Amazon ads) disrupt browsing.
App stability issues such as crashes, posts getting stuck, and features not working as expected.
Security concerns including hacked accounts and potential scams on the platform.
