User Reviews

Most reviews are negative about current performance: listings struggle to gain visibility and sell; the app has frequent technical issues; customer support is often unhelpful or unresponsive; users cannot delete accounts; and paid boosts/fees are ineffective. A small subset praise the concept and past performance, but overall sentiment is that the app has significant reliability and usability problems.

Pros

Past positive performance: posting ads and getting views/sales in earlier versions.
Strong local marketplace concept with potential.
Some users still view it as the best app for buying and selling or love it.

Cons

Low listing visibility and activity; ads not seen; paid boosts and fees are ineffective.
Frequent technical issues: posting errors, freezing, crashes, blank screens.
Poor or unresponsive customer support and reports of bot-like responses.
Inability to delete account / privacy controls; restricted account deletion.
Paid features (boosts/fees) not delivering results.

I couldn't even enter my bank card details properly; even after entering the full link provided, the system wouldn't proceed and just kept making me wait. It’s far too complicated—after finally managing to list an item for sale, the system wouldn't let the listing go through. I suspect this secondhand marketplace app is actually just a way to harvest users' personal data; even after exiting the app, there is no way to delete the email address, phone number, and ID information I had already entered.

As a seller, it’s pretty much a waste of time. The app is chock full of scam accounts. There are even fake 5miles customer service accounts that have been active all month. They won’t even shut those down. At least they took the counterfeit goods auctions off the home page. I’m sure that chased away a lot of legit buyers. Used to be a great app. Those days are long gone.

I am writing to formally demand the immediate deletion of my 5miles account and all personal information associated with it, including but not limited to my name, phone number, email address, profile information, and any other personal data maintained in your systems. I have previously submitted multiple requests for account deletion. Despite those requests, my personal information continues to appear on your platform, and my phone number remains associated with the account. This is unacceptable and has caused significant frustration. I am requesting written confirmation that: My account has been permanently deleted. My phone number has been removed from your records and is no longer associated with any account. My personal information has been deleted from your active systems, subject only to any legal retention requirements. My profile and identifying information are no longer publicly visible on your platform. Please treat this as a formal request for deletion and provide confirmation of completion no later than June 29, 2026. If this matter is not resolved by that date, I will evaluate all available options for pursuing further action and filing complaints with the appropriate consumer protection and privacy authorities. I expect a prompt response confirming that my request has been completed.
