Village - Buy, Sell & Help for Negative User Reviews
✓ ScammersAgain, like a well know company, in minutes I was approached by scammers. It doesn’t seem as well protected as some if you’re a seller on there. Wouldn’t recommend..Version: 1.0.8
✓ No usersThis app is dead..Version: 0.6.9
✓ Has PotentialI really like the idea of the app, but no one is using it, which is possibly due to the paid version being pushed so hard. The items listed "near me" me are in another country and I couldn't find where to change my location. In fact, there are very few customisations you can make to your profile without having to pay. It's more of a buying and selling platform than a platform that encourages community. And it becomes completely useless when you can't see what your location is set to..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Rubbish siteAll i can state this selling website is a joke your better of selling else where then listing it on joke village site would definitely not recommend.Version: 0.9.5
✓ Help?!The authenticity of some of the pricier articles for sale seems suspicious. I am trying to contact the administrators of this app, but there appears to be no way to contact them....Version: 1.0.6
✓ Still crashing...Receive a reply from the developer saying they had made changes and fixed bugs, so gave it another go. Still crashes frequently, this os of no use to me at all. Definitely deleting it from my phone..Version: 0.8.0
✓ App keeps freezingDownloaded the app after being messaged about an item I’d listed on another selling site,it sounded like a good idea. it took ages to upload an item to sell as the app kept on freezing when I was selecting the photos, a day later and I’d had no views or anything. I then accidentally purchased a subscription when it said something about a 7 day free trial, so I had the hassle of getting a refund through the App Store..Version: 0.9.4
✓ App is good quality howeverThe app is functional and helpful idea however have listed many items before and friends have also, takes weeks rather than days to sell anything, even top quality items.Version: 0.8.8
✓ It’s okI like the app, it’s just a shame that all I get is ‘oh, everything’s sold out within walking distance’ I’ve barely found more than a few items at anytime.Version: 0.7.9
✓ Feels like a robotic scamI feel like it’s misleading and possibly fabricating item views in the sellers view of currently posted items. For instance in 4 days a very nice dresser I have very reasonable priced (actually quite under value) supposedly has gotten 463 views... yet not one question comment or response . I also have the same item posted on 3 other sales marketplaces ( probably the 3 most popular by far) for almost 3 weeks now and all 3 combined have accumulated less than the “463 views” that village has presented as factual to me (the seller) and many responses and in general signs of actual real life persons viewing and showing interest in my item . Village seems to me more likely than not is probably some sort of robotic viewing to give the appearance of major general interest in an item to try and sell you on buying the in app “sales tools and boosts “.Version: 0.8.3
✓ Keeps crashingFrustrating and slow.Version: 0.9.3
✓ AVOID - hidden costs and inappropriate usersSeriously, this app is morally wrong. I used it briefly to try and sell stuff, and it quickly transpired that people use it as a dating/stalking app. Beware also the hidden costs..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Be carefulMost ‘buyers’ on here are very dodgy and request you send the item before their bank release the payment. You may even get emails from their ‘bank’ with payment instructions which is very odd. There are better apps out there to sell your unused items and not be ripped off.Version: 1.0.0
✓ UselessHad this on my ipad for 5 minutes and have now uninstalled it. Why?? Because crashes on start up and is also very slow when it makes any attempt to find location. Better stick to Shpock, Gumtree or eBay....Version: 0.7.9
✓ Desperate for new members...?I currently have a few listings on gumtree - thought I was getting a text from an interested buyer this morning (at 7am!! It’s SATURDAY!) but seems more like a desperate app developer trying to get me to try this app! A bit weird...will be sticking to gumtree thanks..Version: 0.8.3
✓ So slowI used this app for a month but every time when i wanted to sell or edit something is being slow all the time. It takes 10 minutes to add/ edit an item on the site. The problem definitely not with my phone because is a brand new phone , also he other selling apps are working properly!!.Version: 0.7.8
✓ Cluttered, needs a major UI updateUnder all the mess there is something useful there. But the app is a nightmare to use. The developer needs to hire a good programmer to change the user interface. Less is more, a clean, minimal UI and the app will get 5 stars plus I bet it will go up in the rankings into the top 10 in shopping apps. But with such a bad user experience there’s no surprise it’s currently at 121 in the shopping category..Version: 0.9.5
✓ VillageWorthless, it's annoying and worst part, you can't log out of it.Version: 0.7.4
✓ Scammed!Bought 3 PS4 games for £50 via PAYPAL. Seller sent me a video pictures of packaging it and sending it, but only received 2 games. He’s ignoring me on the app, and WhatsApp. Totally scammer and he should be removed from the APP..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Jury's outNot much for sale in my area (centre of Chester) zooming in on the map is painfully slow, keeps telling me I've not enabled location services, yet it is (everything's my fault not theirs, got a wife like that).Version: 0.7.5
✓ Don’t sale try this app !!!!Avoid!!! This app is disgusting!!!!!I’m so disappointed from this app. I sold one item for £320. The item was received by buyer and I / the seller/ didn’t get any payment!!! THIS IS SCAMMING APP FOR THEFT!!!!!!! Every time when I get in touch with them for my one and same issue I receive one and same automatically answer!!!!! No support from them AT ALL!!!!!!!!!.Version: 0.9.0
✓ How do you change location?!Been using for 5 minutes at work but I can’t seem to change the search area to another location? Oversight or by design?.Version: 0.7.5
✓ HorribleYou have to pay to talk to people who like your items unless they personally start a chat with you. The only person that started a chat with me was a scammer. Personally I think that the people from the app are liking your items just to get you to put out money. If it’s such a great app why don’t we get a free trial period to see how the entire thing works. Who wants to pay for something they know nothing about?.Version: 1.0.6
✓ Need to pay for extra featuresYou can only sell things if you buy the extra features. Not what I was expecting..Version: 0.8.5
✓ AwfulUnusable interface, confusing, impossible to do anything & very expensive. I spend most of my time with it convinced it’s a scam. Trying to work out how to leave..Version: 0.9.5
✓ Expensive, clunkyI wanted to set up a local shop but it’s stupidly expensive for a local buying app, I pay less to host a real website. You also don’t get much for it to help sell, just 25% off boosts. Take one look at an item and the app automatically starts a chat, you are then hammered with notifications about it. So far not made a single sale despite thousands of views. Overall could do better..Version: 1.0.6
✓ I’m conflictedI love the app and think it’s convenient but the 2nd day of having it it won’t open- why is this? And is this a common issue?.Version: 0.9.4
✓ Actually very angryMade me download the app withe hope to buy want had been advertised to only find out that it’s not actually where on the app. I wouldn’t be surprised if every one of these so called good reviews are fake, very dodgy business setup. Definitely don’t use.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Well, it doesn’t workIt doesn’t seem capable of searching, at least not in a way that gives me any confidence! The filters don’t work. It sets up stupid alerts you don’t want. Nice concept (Gumtree/weird eBay, basically) but I can’t bear to use the app..Version: 1.0.8
✓ Miss Stacie GendersThis App doesn’t seem to have the reach it needs, I don’t feel my sale posts get the distance or amount of views/people they need to sell The App tells you people are interested but that’s not true.Version: 0.9.4
✓ Horrible AppHorrible To much scammers.Version: 1.0.8
✓ App needs optimising for iPhone 13 miniNavigation around the app is made hard by the fact it’s not optimised for iPhone 13 mini, icons are going off the screen.Version: 1.0.8
✓ Ok I guessI like this app a lot but there’s one thing that you have to pay for a membership to do 2+ chat that’s really annoying because then you can’t actually really sell stuff so I would recommend getting a different app this app is very good.Version: 0.9.2
✓ Worst app!!!Worst app ever, deactivated my account and never coming back here. Too many scammers here. I got scammed by a seller here asked the app admins to step in but didn’t receive any help from them! Luckily I paid by PayPal so paypal helped me to get my money back but didn’t get any help from the apps admins. So an advice for all DO NOT USE THIS APP you WILL get SCAMMED and you’ll get NO HELP from the admin!!! BE CAREFUL!!!.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Very disapointedApplication will be spamming you and showing that some people send you a message when in fact there is no reply's. It is called fake engagement at all cost. I Hate such tactics..Version: 1.0.1
✓ ScamHas to delete this app. Been wanting to a buy phone that’s in my area. I asked if we could meet at mine or at there’s. And every single one of them come with the same response, I don’t do meet ups as I got beat and robbed. I only do bank transfer. It’s a scam, scam, scam!! Can’t believe it. Who sells an iPhone XS plus for 150 pound it’s a 1,200 pound phone! Very angry as other people sell good things for cheap but I can’t trust this site or people. Deleted and never re downloading it..Version: 0.9.6
✓ Nothing happeningDon’t get this site, doesn’t anyone ever buy anything I have people ask if things are still for sale and then nothing!! Trouble is most people want things for next to nothing and they won’t pay more than £2 it’s hard to sell !.Version: 0.8.0
✓ App crashingManaged to post few items for sale but can’t do anything else, the app keeps crashing since Friday Seems like a waste of time!.Version: 0.9.3
✓ Sales Rate of ZeroDidn’t sell a single item. As a prolific eBayer I thought I’d go ‘local’ and try Village. It would appear that even in south east London, unless you bump up your items by forking out money to ‘boost’ your item to the top of the sales heap, you don’t stand a hope in hell. Just my humble opinion of course..Version: 0.9.4
✓ Need registration.As usual all these apps want access to your phone and personal information. Fact on a real car boot sale this is not required. The middle man i.e. developer is the problem, Im sure someone is going to develop an app that does just that, the sooner the better!.Version: 0.9.2
✓ Nothing is clear about this app. Just money making is their motive.They charge money and nothing changes. They’re a scam..Version: 1.0.8
✓ Poor, possibly scam sitePeople selling do not respond. Village Help do not respond. I suspect this is a scam site only interested in getting the payment when you put in an offer. You are better off buying or selling through Facebook Marketplace..Version: 1.0.7
✓ UntrustworthyI paid for an item and the seller didnt get back to me and village didnt do anything to help at all and the app takes too long to load. Very disappointed and I don’t know how i will get my money back..Version: 0.9.2
