Downgrading a star because somehow this is still an issue, making Reverb completely useless if you’re looking to sell gear locally. Come on folks! Didn’t Etsy buy you?? They have this totally figured out. Could you get on the horn with their tech team to help you out?
If you’re looking to buy small gear through the mail, you’re gonna love this app. If, however, you’re looking for someone in your area that has what you need, sadly, this app is not your tool. Somehow they’ve decided Craigslist is still best for local searches. Yes, this app does have a button on their app to search locally. But, almost laughably, that feature doesn’t let you search for specific items. So, in other words, you’re welcome to browse EVERYTHING at once in your local area. But if you’re wanting to see who is selling, say, a piano in LA and not Tulsa? Nope. Craigslist is your best bet. It’s perplexing because Etsy is SO good at this, allowing you to easily search for items within an area. After they bought this app it looked as if they could bring their UX knowledge to the this app team. Alas, Craigslist continues as the undisputed winner in local search for music gear, despite this app having the ability to solve this in a weekend with a good UX designer. Oh well! this app, if you ever decide you wanna get into local search, I’ll be using Reverb constantly for my studio.
