✓ Update doesn’t drop pop upGumtree was working fine for me for ages and did the job I wanted it to do. I got a pop up on the app saying to update the app, shut the app down then open it to use the updated version. For me the updated version loads with a green loading screen with slogan compared to the old black screen - only to be met by the update pop up that doesn’t allow me to use the app. So it goes around in a circle now - back to the App Store to “update” only to have the App Store saying to open the app, it’s updated. Currently gumtree app is useless to me which is a bit disappointing as I find it easier to use than the online version when on my phone. Hopefully this issue is sorted soon!.Version: 20.3.0
✓ Can you help me to buy a dirt bikes pleaseMohammad.Version: 13.3.0
✓ Starting to become eBay:(!!!We already have one of those!Recently I’ve notice a lot more adds for brand new items :( this completely destroys the whole point behind the app. I don’t want to purchase new things, if I did I would go to eBay!!! The last thing we need in this world right now is more push for people to buy new items! Also the app has started disregarding your distance settings, after you get past all close items it simply keeps scrolling with a wider radii and mainly promoting new and payed for adds at this point. Your ruining something that has the potential to prevent so much waste obviously in the quest for more profit, it’s just sad that you stoop so low. At least give a search option for only searching used items!!!.Version: 13.1.0
✓ The App doesn’t Auto refreshThe App even though open on my phone or iPad doesn’t refresh with Message updates. This is a big problem when I have something listed, if people are trying to contact me. I also get annoyed when people don’t respond to my enquiries about their products/services. It’s not enough to be sending messages via email, just in case the App doesn’t work. I generally only get time to read my personal email box once a day. I am also convinced this feedback opportunity is rigged not to give a low score of 2 stars. Have tried to submit with 10 different user names and none seem to be “available”. I’ve used the most obscure user names..Version: 14.4.0
✓ Issues with saving an adI’ve been a gumtree user for several years and haven’t had any problems with the app until recently. When saving an item to my wishlist/saved items, it un-saves as soon as I scroll past the post and I will repeatedly have to save each item multiple times for it to stay in my likes. This can get really frustrating as you won’t be able to find an item in your likes as it didn’t actually save. I’ve also had issues with the messaging section with messages not coming through or sending off of my iOS device but they will come through on my laptop. Overall, gumtree is a good app however with some improvements it could be much better and easier to use..Version: 18.17.0
✓ Bugs galoreWhilst writing or editing my ads if I get a message it immediately takes me to the message and all my editing is gone. Also, it’s impossible to see on the screen what you are writing if you go down further to write and have to keep checking what you write as you cant see it. The same goes for the title. You have to delete the start of the title to even change a small part at the end. This is an app and designed to be used on phones so its totally crazy that you guys at gumtree havent even figured out this is happening?!? It takes hours sometimes when it should take minutes. Monopolising the market is fine if you put money back into intensive work on creating an app you can trust. Its totally not fine to have such an unstable interface for users. Spend the money we pay you to work hard on your interface it is way off kilter..Version: 20.3.0
✓ Needs improvementI love Gumtree and wish more people used it. In regards to app, it would be nice to be able to remove an ad from phone and wish categories were better..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Thank youYour a best forever.Version: 9.3.0
✓ NahNo thanks, don’t wanna write review..Version: 13.6.5
✓ Good toolI enjoy the upgraded version as a great way to both sell and buy items. Just wish the community would delete sold items or remove to avoid time wasting SMS and emails..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Needs search save and notificationsI use this app a lot! Works well, but could be better. Need to be able to save frequent searches. Also should be able to set up notifications to push an alert when something is posted that meets a certain search criteria. Craigslist+ (Cpro Craigslist Client) does this..Version: 3.2.0
✓ Great, But Could ImproveI’ve used gumtree quite a lot this past year and have found it really helpful for selling and buying locally, but have run into a few issues. Once a seller deletes their listing, not only can you not find a trace of the listing anymore, but all your messages to the seller are deleted too. This is especially problematic when posting an item, as the seller may delete the listing because the item is sold and then all contact is cut off with no way to follow up on a delayed or lost parcel. Without a way to rate sellers or buyers’ accounts, people are also free to negotiate rudely, or go against other trading etiquette with no repercussions. I have been stood up a couple of times. Despite this, it’s a great app to find used things and sell your stuff.Version: 8.8.0
✓ Would have been 5 stars if pics could rotateUse constantly. Much better on iPad (I mostly use it on my iPhone but occasionally use on mum/dad’s iPad and the interface is SO much better). Live how the results from a search are set out in a grid format. But what the hell happened to being able to rotate images when viewing an item?? Always used to be able to do it until an update a few months back and that function was suddenly gone! IMHO this is absolute stupidity!! Far too many people have no idea about how to take a picture, as in, hold the phone SIDEWAYS when taking pics of almost anything other than people. Same goes for movies, hold your phone SIDEWAYS people. Anyway, for those that don’t, we used to be able to rotate the pic when viewing it but for some ridiculous reason, we are no longer able to do so. PLEASE, PLEASE give us back this feature. Why was it removed in the first place? Certainly didn’t add anything to the app by removing it. Either way, it's a great app, and would have been 5 stars if the image rotation wasn’t removed!! Please, get it happening..Version: 14.7.0
✓ No capacity to contact you regarding scammersI was contacted by a buyer yesterday regarding a $1200 item I have posted and they quickly appeared suspicious, not wanting to see the item, willingly to send a courier ASAP to pick up and “pay” me via PayPal. When I prompted them to call me to discuss details as it appeared suspicious they provided excuses why they couldn’t call. When I insisted and made it flexible for them to contact me they then disappeared completely. I have an email trail, GT user name and email address of the person, if you wish to look into further please contact me for details. Whilst I like the GT system overall, it seemed impossible to contact GT to report this encounter, other than to hit the report button to advise GT of the brief conversation we had via the app before they requested to switch contact to emails. There should be more ability for valid users to assist in weeding out the scammers who spoil it for others. I would hate to see someone more trusting loose an expensive item due to this behaviour..Version: 13.10.1
✓ So usefulLove gumtree wish it would have notifications like Facebook.. doesn't seem to do that automatically on my iPhone.Version: 8.3.1
✓ This is what the iPhone was made for !Of course we all know it was made for a lot more, but the way that the app 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 the app using the iphone's camera... So simple yet such a valuable tool !.Version: 2.1.2
✓ Thank you!This app 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 gumtree a try first, as we are so busy. So glad we did. The Gumtree 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 Gumtree. I've benefitted from Gumtree 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..Version: 6.7.0
✓ Pretty decent app, however it can be improvedI have always used Gumtree to buy products and search around for products... However, I recently put an item on sale for the first time and realised a few areas where this app could be improved. First of all, when receiving messages about a product, the messages get very bundled up and confusing, making it hard to distinguish which buyers are actually “serious” about buying, and which are just saying “Is this still available”. It would be AMAZING if you guys could add in a feature which could ‘mark’ certain people with a specific colour, or if you could group messages and keep an option to section buyers, making us users have the ability to keep potential buyers in one section, and other buyers in another section, stopping us from having to delete the other buyers along with their whole conversation The second issue is that old listing aren’t cached, meaning once either the buyer, or the lister deletes a post, it cannot be seen again. This is quite a big issue, since posts which users have deleted cannot be saved, and they cannot view the post again in the future to refer to. Secondly, this also causes a major security issue, since fake listers who unlisted their item cannot be viewed again, meaning that their listing cannot be viewed again after they unlisted it off Gumtree.Version: 14.6.0
✓ 👍👍👍👍👍.Version: 18.34.1
✓ Still buggyI love using gumtree to buy and sell all the time but the app continues to be buggy even with today’s update. Most notable issues are, you can not enlarge photos when looking at an ad from the messaging function. It just pops up a white screen. You have to go back to the listings, find the ad and click on the photos from there. Secondly it seems to freeze and shut down fairly often. I’m using a iPhone 11 max pro so don’t think it’s my phone. Notifications are really slow or non existent without refreshing it, especially from the instant messaging. Many users I deal with during sales complain about this. Lastly, and not a bug, but the watchlist seems to be capped between 65 and 75 items. It removes the oldest listing if you go over the cap. It would be nice to be warned you’ve reached your cap instead so you can choose what to remove (or no cap at all) as it’s frustrating to lose a bunch of saved ads without even knowing. This is the first comment I’ve ever written but I feel this app could be great with a few fixes..Version: 15.4.0
✓ Great App - Works Perfect on My iPhoneWhat can I say, Gumtree is a great resource and I've really never had any issues with the App. In fact, I use the App more than the website due to mobile convenience and good functionality. Well done..Version: 5.9.0
✓ I love gumtree “but”Truly Gumtree is the best place to buy and sell goods The only improvement I can think off would be giving participators the opportunity to rate there interactions with fellow uses. Sometimes I deal with very good people who read the ad and only ask appropriate question and also people who also write ads with information that is relevant Unfortunately ther are people in the Gumtree community who do not do this and waste other people’s time by not doing the above and also do things such as not take ad down when it is no longer available, not responding to messages or a pet dislike for me is what I call “ low ballers” who send messages just trying to cut your price without any inquiries. It would be awesome if we could single these people out by a rating system. But over all the pro’s outweighs the cons by far and always use Gumtree to buy and sell on regular basis Thanks Gumtree if only to help us stop throwing of reusable goods out and therefore saving our money and even more importantly helping our environment 👍👍 Thanks for reading my review I’d agree help me get administrators to set up rating system 🙏 Harvey.Version: 13.8.0
✓ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Find Everything you might need, and some things you’d never think you’d see, Gumtree is a go to app for me..Version: 18.27.0
✓ Great app but still needs improvement in some areasThe messages never come through even tho notifications are turned on and app a lot of the time will not load people’s phone numbers on adds I’ll click call and the button just goes grey and won’t load no matter how many time I close app or delete and download again and turning phone off equally dose nothing only way is to just wait until it work again Am on iOS with iPhone XS Max don't see why I get the issue I’ve had either, overall great app but is lacking in couple areas but nothing that can’t be fixed with an update, ps needs a refresh too the app hasn’t changed to much over the years and could do with new features & maybe even a new looks for few things to modernise it some As said great app just could be tweaked a little to make a lot of a difference in user friendliness and better interface thanks and hope this is helpful feed back and can be used in a good way, Definitely some food for thought for the designer’s and editors.Version: 14.10.0
✓ GoodVery good.Version: 18.34.1
✓ So convenient!I love this app for shopping. Sometimes I don't get an option to call a seller, when it should be possible, but other than that it is perfect..Version: 6.3.1
✓ Phone App vs computer, Gumtree take note:Really like the accessibility of the phone app as I cannot use Gumtree on my laptop anymore due to the invasive nature of the advertising. I think on computers the advertising should reflect the nature of the search. I am a tool man & would not mind advertising of a similar ilk but am deeply offended by the ‘Modlily’ ads depicting women in bathing suits which are continually flashing up enlarged portraits & ruining my search for tools. I have tried to restrict the content but it returns the next day. I am not a prude, but I am offended because I feel these bathing suit ads are shoved down my throat & by having these ads flashing up ruins the pc viewing experience. Please consider only advertising which reflects the search entered. The phone app is great, thank you..Version: 13.8.0
✓ Important for sustainabilityGumtree is very important for sustainability and reducing landfill... it’s still the best way to give something a second life that most people would consider junk. There’s almost nothing I’ve listed that I haven’t found a home for — the more obscure stuff you might have to wait a few months but it’s very rewarding when someone finds it and says it’s exactly what they were looking for :) I’m normally a desktop guy, but the convenience of taking photos and adding ads on the fly with the app is great. App seems to work well so far, it’s intuitive enough and hasn’t annoyed me significantly after listing 5 ads (I’m very critical of bad UIs and user experiences in software, so that’s a compliment). I believe every physical thing that still has a use should be passed on to continue fulfilling that use (or for repurposing) when no longer needed by someone, and Gumtree is an important part of that process here in Australia. Just a hint: always give as much important information as possible when listing (particularly in regards to sizes). It might take slightly longer to list, but you’ll save time answering users’ questions later and it improves potential buyers’ experience..Version: 15.1.1
✓ Great site with some feed backGumtree is a great site. In saying that there is room for improvement on 2 major areas!! Better control on people that contact you as there are so many con artist out there trying to extract your information to use your details to excess your bank or set up things in your name!! They work in teams one texts you the other might call find out more information as much as possible to scam you & your personal details! Give nothing but place to meet don’t even give real number address use across the road or next door so they can’t peace together all your information. In saying that the only other negative about the gumtree is the site is so so slow to load when searching!!! I’ve done test & it’s the site not the speed of the net!! Apart from that great site!!! ✌️✌️✌️👍.Version: 10.0.0
✓ Useful AppI like the concept of what the app can do and the general experience of using the app, except for one thing.. I don’t know if the app developers browse with in-app ads since that part of the app is frustrating. You can be browsing a list of item ads with interspersed in-app ads and the in-app ads suddenly change height or something and you lose your place in the list. It just kajiggers! Quite a few versions have had this issue and I keep hoping it to be fixed and must finally say something. Thank you. Edit: several updates have happened and it is nice to see that some developer time has committed to improving the in-app advertisements. While it still kajiggers a bit, the improvement is noticeable. Thanks. Useful app!.Version: 19.3.0
✓ So convenientI can literally find anything here and for so cheap. The app is super user friendly and so convenient..Version: 12.6.0
✓ Why why why?!?!This app has always had one major failing and, to be blunt, I’m actually quite shocked and annoyed it’s never been addressed, even after so many versions/updates! And, it’s such a simple thing to do. Why is it users can’t view photos in landscape mode? This is something me, my family and friends all agree should be possible to do. I get it makes sense for the ads to be displayed in portrait mode, but when a user taps on the photo to view all the photos they should be able to turn the phone around and view the photos in landscape mode if they want to! The fact it doesn’t is actually a bad UX design because the app doesn’t behave in the manner users expect! Please please please implement this. Thanks!.Version: 20.3.0
✓ Some feature requests please!Have been using the Gumtree app on both ipad and iphone daily to buy and sell, but find it incredibly frustrating that as a seller I cannot sort my own advert listings by expiry date, listing date, by price, alpabetically etc etc. PLEASE can you add this feature. Also, can you PLEASE include a feature like on the gumtree web site to “manage my adverts” so I can see at a glance which adverts are expired and then repost “in bulk” instead of each individually? One final request - I never receive notifications on either ipad nor iphone app when I receive a message from a buyer. Could this be fixed please? These three features/fixes would increase convenience and ease of use immensely for sellers with more than 3 or 4 listed items. Otherwise great app, thanks!.Version: 17.5.0
✓ Love gumtree. However…Let me say first off I love your app! Really great when you need to sell something quickly and without too much fiddling. The only thing I hate is that the mobile application gets super laggy whenever I search for an ad and start scrolling and I have to restart and go back in and even then it sometimes occurs again. And the other issue with scrolling to find an ad after searching is frequently I’ll get bumped up or down the page maybe due to the ads and I’ll lose track of where I’d scrolled to. Overall great app and is great to use on a computer! But could you make the mobile app a less laggy? Cheers!.Version: 18.28.0

✓ Love the variety of carsLove the variety of cars.Version: 12.1.0
✓ App makes buying/selling easierWe love the iPhone app and it's increased our ability to buy/sell items having access nearly everywhere we go.Version: 4.3.0
✓ Bring back the old layoutI really don't like the layout of the new version. It makes it difficult to see each of the items without having to open each of them individually. Too many items on one page. Feels to cluttered and pics too small. Also, all my watchlist items disappeared when I installed this version! Very frustrating!.Version: 6.9.0
✓ Why I love g/tI want to take this moment t personal thank g/t for helping me to find all and more of building surpluses I have needed to do ALL the renovations on my little house. I am a single woman and with your help g/t I have almost completed my house. I have done award winning gardens, built a car port, built an outside dining room, built two wide decks around side and back of my house, extended and renovated my bathroom , renovated lounge room, also one bed room , two more to go. I am currently renovating my kitchen . So you can why I love gum tree, two years ago my son and his two daughters made me a gum tree birthday cake. It was the best cake ever, I was also made a gumtree t shirt. They call me the gum tree queen. You ask if I love gum tree, that’s a hell yehhhh, I am soooo grateful to each and everyone of you. Thank you from Deborah Christie. 👍🏆.Version: 11.8.0
✓ Great Service!Easy to post and search. Sales and purchases with PayPal are super simple!.Version: 8.9.0
✓ GoodGood service Thanks.Version: 8.4.0
✓ Only 1 flaw, but it’s a big one!!I’ve only recently created & started using my own GumTree account & so far, I absolutely love it & think the app is great ...except that whenever I switch apps to share a link or anything else, even if it’s literally for a matter of a few seconds, then when I switch back to the GumTree app, it totally refreshes so I loose where I was up to in my search & have to wait for the app to reload as if I’m opening it for the first time & then do my search again & find where I was up to... This isn’t happening cause I’m “totally closing the app off” either, I’m talking about when I simply leave GumTree running in the background for a second just so I can quickly copy, paste & send a link for an ad to my partner in our messaging app, it happens EVERY time & it’s super annoying... I’ve looked through the app settings & can’t find anything to change to make this stop, I’ve also got “background app refresh” switched on in my iPhone settings too, so I can’t think of any way to possibly fix this & it doesn’t happen with any other apps, not even other Auction & Buying apps, it’s super frustrating & has been making me just give up looking at certain times, my partner & I are rebuilding a car so when we’re looking for parts, I’m always wanting to share a lot of links for ads to him for him to take a look at, other than that, the app is great, it’s just that one flaw that’s super frustrating!!.Version: 11.5.0
✓ Love Gumtree, especially the app!Absolutely LOVE Gumtree, especially the app version! (Find it a lot simpler to create & edit apps using the app version). Their service is amazing too, I had trouble creating an ad once & they responded straight away & fixed the problem for me immediately (turned out a link I used was too long, who would have thought! So they recreated a shorter version for me to use). Gumtree is so much better than eBay if wanting to buy or sell local items. You don't have to pay for ads unless you want the extra bells & whistles, so the choice is yours. Also the go-to for other random things from less-local sellers. We found our beautiful Ragdoll from a breeder in remote SA on Gumtree! Amazing website & app, 5+++ stars from me :).Version: 8.4.0
✓ Possible scammersI be been trying to sell items recently At times I’m getting messages from users who show as only started this year an then they try to tell you that a friend or their son will collect it but need ur bank an email details Others as soon as I posted it , comes back with technical support telling me the item is sold , yet no users have even viewed the ad , as I looked . They say they’d holding the payment till they get my details an other times tech support says they will release the money to me after I confirm my details. My email is in gumtrees data base showing me as a users or it should be showing to tech support However I know it’s scammers as gum tree does not have my bank details an I don’t use PayPal with it.Version: 20.7.0
✓ Makes posting items a breezeSmooth process for posting items for sale. Love that I can take photos and post ad from a single device..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Has been great but bugs need fixingI’ve had the app for a while, and it did work as it should until a few months ago. Other than a couple gitches here and there on the off occasion, the main concerns I have now are notifications, and reviews. I’ve checked and re-checked all notification settings in my iPhone system settings as well as in the app - EVERY notification thing is on, yet I either don’t get notifications or it pops up on the lock screen and then disappears when I unlock the screen (doesn’t stay on the app icon) even though I haven’t physically gone into the app. There’s also no way to see reviews of people who’ve posted on you, nor to review them in return. Please fix!.Version: 13.5.0
✓ Very InconvenientIt would be really great if the app actually sent me notifications like it’s been set to do! I hardly receive messages when they are sent to me, which is incredibly frustrating as it has lead to me missing out on a lot of items because I have not replied.. due to the fact that I have no idea I’ve received a message from seller. Not to mention the amount of messages I send that don’t even go through... I want to be able to use this app/website as otherwise it is really good. But it is impossible to be able to use properly when a huge part is being able to receive and reply messages and I am unable to check the app every few minutes...Version: 14.6.0
✓ Great app!User friendly app works well, messaging system is flawless. Easy to use..Version: 14.1.0
✓ Ad disappearing after posting.Myself and another person I know have both experienced an issue where upon posting an ad, we receive a notification saying our ad might take a few minutes to become live. We wait until the next day, it’s still not there, no draft, no record, we have to rewrite and submit the entire ad. This happens a few times, all of a sudden we’ve spent an hour doing something that should have taken 5 minutes. Luckily my ad posted... eventually. My friend however had to contact support in which he was told that if he wanted to post an ad he had to use a desperate computer to the one I was using. He was also very rude and struggled to comprehend and take accountability for the issue on Gumtree’s behalf and instead tried to pin it back on me saying it’s our fault for using the same device for two separate accounts on a shared computer. How ridiculous. I hope the issue is actually reported so it doesn’t happen to anyone else..Version: 11.8.0
✓ Sellers.... beware of dodgy buyers on bigger ticket items.The missing star accounts for the time wasters and desperate fraudsters who take the enjoyment out of the gumtree experience. Be warned sellers... these individuals will find a way to worm their way into making you believe they are genuine -be vigilant and stick to Gumtree’s ‘staying safe’ tips. Fortunately, I was lucky today -the incorrect figure, change from talking in first to third person , asking for good deal because they had a wreck of a car that cost $2000 to repair, the dodgy looking PayPal receipt ( I never sent a request to pay) , no funds and some links that were inconsistent with the normal payment process... the list went on. This mystery ‘Sharon’ persisted with the sale and built up a rapport over a couple of weeks. In the end, the devil was in the detail. Stay safe with your sales fellow gummies. I’m sticking to face to face from now on!.Version: 13.5.0
✓ 👍🏻Easy to use, helpful app. I just wish when an item was sold you could keep the data so you can see how much you have sold in the past..Version: 6.6.1
✓ Very useful. A few minor issuesThis app is very helpful and the design and layout looks good and is easy to use. The main issue I’ve had is if you accidentally tap the back arrow too many times, you have to re-enter all of your search terms. This could be resolved by not resetting the search filters unless the user selects the ‘reset’ option in the filters list. Also, the search parameters for finding a car (and I'm assuming anything else) are very limited. The specs are all listed if you go into the ad so it would be nice to be able to filter out all cars that are 4 speed or use over a certain amount of petrol. The app already stores this information so why not let us use it to filter out posts we're not interested in?.Version: 9.1.0
