## Review summary

Overall, 5miles is easy to start and convenient, with items that tend to sell quickly and good deals for buyers. However, users repeatedly report broken notifications, unresponsive support, and withdrawals that disappear. Visibility is poor unless you pay for feature packages, and buyer engagement is low, making sales hard in many areas. Some users compare it unfavorably to OfferUp or FB Marketplace. The app delivers ease and speed, but reliability and reach are ongoing concerns.

### Pros

- Easy to get started / easy to use
- Convenient and safe
- Items sell fast
- Easy to sell and great deals to buy
- Dash auctions offer shipping (items can be mailed)

### Cons

- Notifications not working / no audible alerts
- Support is unresponsive or slow to respond
- Withdrawals/payments can disappear
- Low visibility / limited reach; paid features required for views
- Low buyer activity and few responses
