User Reviews

Users praise it as a strong business app with competitive pricing, and some positive feedback on updates. However, onboarding and language are major pain points: many users report being unable to create or sign into accounts, verification codes not arriving, and long signup times. Language support is lacking, with requests for English/Spanish translations. There are frequent account access issues (unexpected logouts, bans, and difficulty recovering data). Performance problems include iPad incompatibility, slow/crashing sessions, and broken search by photo. Onboarding and language support are the most repeatedly mentioned issues.

Pros

Strong overall reputation as a top business app (labels like 'The best' / 'La Mejor app de negocios').
Perceived value with lower prices than Taobao.
Positive feedback on updates and improvements to the app.

Cons

Onboarding failures: many users report being unable to create/register accounts, signup delays, and verification codes not arriving.
Language barriers: frequent requests for English/Spanish translations and difficulties understanding the site.
Account access issues: accounts being logged out, bans without warning, and difficulties recovering data.
Performance/compatibility problems: iPad incompatibility, slow/crashing sessions, and broken search by photo or general search.
Verification/phone verification problems: verification codes not arriving, preventing sign-up.
