Gumtree: Find local ads & jobs Reviews

The last couple versions have a pretty bad performance issue that when I scroll through the ads it would often get stuck, sometimes for just a few seconds sometimes I would have to kill Gumtree and reopen. It doesn’t happen when I scroll through the top of the list but the deeper it goes down the list the more often it would happen. It could be related to the ad contents inserted between the normal items.

Anyways, if you can put the heavy contents loading job on a background thread instead of the UI thread it should fix the problem.

I’ve alway preferred searching this app on the ipad (pro) but recent updates have made it unusable. With the loading google ads in the feed every 4-6 listings, the feed shuffles as you scroll, reordering the listings. This actually causes a white flicker/refresh this is exhausting on the eyes.

In addition it’s reorders the placement of the listings as you scroll. So, as you see a new ad appear it bumps a listing from the bottom all the way to the top almost out of view.

The devs really need to spend some time using their app to see if it meets their expectations?

I’ve been using Gumtree now for a year and it is very basic in features and functions.

Critically, it doesn’t have a proper system of rating good sellers / buyers like on other sites. So you often get a lot of time wasters contacting you, low balling your items for sale, people ‘ghosting’ you and worst of all agreeing with you to meet somewhere to buy an item off you and then they don’t show up, so wasting your precious time.

I know there is a community feedback feature on Gumtree but it doesn’t really help as it doesn’t seem to accurately show all the members buying / selling history. Just a small selection of feedback.

this app, you really need to have a proper rating system and hold your members accountable for their behaviour.

I can literally find anything here and for so cheap. Gumtree is super user friendly and so convenient.

Gumtree is pretty good. The only dislike I have about it is that you can only buy things that are in Australia. You can’t change the location to the United States. Others that that it’s really good

User friendly app works well, messaging system is flawless. Easy to use.

Please put AU / AUSTRALIA in the title. It took me 10 Minutes to figure it out and reset my password twice to realize that Gumtree is for Australia, and this is not a general app for this app. Annoying.
There is a separate this app for the UK apparently.

Easy to post and search. Sales and purchases with PayPal are super simple!

Was trying to post my ad several times last couple of days, never succeeded. After clicking Post ad, the ad never appeared in the ad list, it just disappeared. Was trying both via Gumtree , and on the web site. Boo

Your a best forever

Gumtree seems to block you out from choosing your true address if you don’t live in one of they’re suggested areas🤦🏾‍♂️

If you already have Gumtree , don’t update to the new version! It removes the features ‘view nearby’ and ‘search by distance’ - it only lets you view their suggestions.

Love the variety of cars

It would be helpful if you’d mention that Gumtree is for Australia in your App Description! I just wasted time downloading & installing this. I’m in the US so this is getting deleted now. What a waste of my time...

This is a horrible app, so many dark patterns that force the user to either click on promotions or have more notifications sent to them.

It’s Simple and fast as 1-2-3

After the recent update Gumtree was crashing and i am unable to open Gumtree .

Hi there how about an auction system similar to Trade Me in NZ?

No thanks, don’t wanna write review.

Good service
Thanks

Gumtree has been a life saver! We are moving back to America in February and still have so much to get rid of. We were thinking of posting an ad in the paper and have yard sales, but thought we'd give this app a try first, as we are so busy. So glad we did. The this app app has been so awesome, it allows me to take pictures and upload them, and post my ad as well as respond to messages all on one device, so convenient. I've tried using the eBay app before but found it stressful and a lot more complicated. I love the simple, clean interface of this app. I've benefitted from this app in the past with purchases, and now I have already sold 4 hard to sell items in under a day; thank you, thank you! I'm going to miss this once I get back to the USA.

Gumtree pauses my music when I open it

Of course we all know it was made for a lot more, but the way that Gumtree integrates with the features on the phone makes something previously time consuming simple and easy. The search interface could perhaps use some other features as other reviewers have mentioned but they don't bother me, in fact I prefer searching on my phone to using the full site but it is in how simple it is to get an item for sale up on the site through Gumtree using the iphone's camera... So simple yet such a valuable tool !
