Review summary

User reviews are overwhelmingly negative about Shpock's current state. The most cited issues are ad overload, new listing fees/subscriptions, and weak buyer protection with unhelpful support. Users also report algorithm-driven visibility problems, buggy performance, and security/login problems. A minority nostalgically recalls the app as having been good or great in the past, but the prevailing sentiment is dissatisfaction with the modern experience.

Pros

Historically strong, well-regarded marketplace for buying and selling (past reputation).
A few reviewers remember it as a great app in the past.
It is a recognizable platform for local buying/selling.

Cons

Excessive ads and ad load degrades usability.
Fees and subscription requirements to list items (not free anymore).
Poor buyer protection and weak customer support when disputes arise.
Algorithm changes and visibility issues favor paid promotions and suppress free posts.
Technical problems: glitches after updates, login/account issues, and security concerns.

2026-08-18	Ma*****	app used to be good but now it is beyoned useless. So few users they charge sellers. Zero ways of getting paid unless you set something up OUTSIDE the app, zero way of setting P&P charges up, utterly useless customer support. The few things I have listed for sale, which won't sell due to SO few users, will be removed at the end of the month and listed elsewhere. And they have the audasity to charge sellers a fee for this pigs' breakfast of an app.

2026-08-02	Ma*****	das ist eine Frechheit nach lang musste ich mal was verkaufen und wollte hier geben neben willhaben und man muss zahlen damit man was verkaufen kann? diese app wird gleich kein mensch benutzen wenns so bleibt Antwort auf developer: ich hatte niemals Probleme mit den werbungen, so schwer ist es nicht die werbungen zu überspringen, wer von den Nutzern sagt es gibt zu viele werbungen dann haben die nie eine app mit Werbungen benutzt und sind dumm. Devs müssen sehen das keiner membership kauft oder?

2026-07-19	Da*****	No doubt I'll get the usual automated reply to this, but why don't you make it so we can list even just 1 item a month for free? There is absolutely no reason to charge a subscription for people to be able to list stuff, especially when the app doesn't have the users! eBay, Vinted, Depop, FB Marketplace, Preloved, Gumtree... They all allow free listings! There used to be 100's of stuff listed locally a few years ago. Now there's 1 thing within 5 miles! This app is officially dead!
