Free classifieds app
Kijiji is the mobile app for the popular online classified advertisement service. This free shopping software makes it easier for people to buy and sell stuff on the platform. The app has all the features from the website, so you don’t have to make adjustments. You can also be in the know about the latest items posted by enabling the notification feature. However, there are a few glitches and bug issues that can affect your experience.
Shop and sell in a snap
With the Kijiji app, users can now easily shop and sell items. As noted, this has all the features that long-time Kijiji shoppers used on the website. With this, there is little to no adjustment for the users who have been previously using the service. They can easily search for items on sale and chat with their seller. More than items, they can even check real estate for sale and rent. You can also enable push notifications for specific items. With this, you can instantly discover if a new listing is posted.
Meanwhile, sellers will have an easier way to post the items they want to sell. You can snap pictures of your items directly from the app, add a description to them, and post the ad on the website. This feature comes with a preview, so you can see how it will look once uploaded. You can also integrate the app to other tools to make selling your items faster, such as linking your PayPal account to send and receive payments much easier.
However, while the app makes it easier to buy and sell, there are quite a few issues that need consideration—the biggest of which is the slow and glitchy chatting feature. It is sometimes hard to contact a seller because the app does not provide stamping to let you know if the seller received your message. On the other hand, sellers sometimes get ratings and reviews from someone to whom they’ve never even sold an item to. The app is also buggy and prone to crashing.
Convenient but needs improvement
The Kijiji app offers an easier way for users—both sellers and buyers—to use the service. With it, they can post an ad or browse items for sale with ease. Moreover, it comes with other features that make online shopping more hassle-free. However, as it is, the app has issues that need patching up to live up to its promise of convenient shopping.
