5 Miles bidding “Dash” scam. SCAM Alert! Beware of 5 miles “Dash” bid buying! You won’t get items or if you do get them the items received are cheap knock-offs, broken, or wrong item won. And by all means don’t make complaint to sellers or 5 miles because then your account will get suspended like mine was after I lodged complaint over 8 items won, paid for & not received. I was told by multiple customer service reps that a supervisor would contact me; and that has never happened (over 6 weeks ago). No refunds either! I’m done. I have 100% positive reviews from selling & buying on 5 miles since joined years ago. Before you get pulled into their new Dash scam, suggest you read the comments and account questions on 5 miles and you’ll see I’m not the only one. Scammed & DONE with 5 Miles.

Entire system is flawed. I’ve tried so many times to sell stuff through this app and have been disappointed every time. Seems like the people that are “buyers” on here don’t do anything but waste your time asking lots of questions and basically wanting you to give it away for free only to leave you stranded in the end. They have no means of screening sellers and buyers to verify if they are even who they say they are. Also, I tried to advertise a yard sale and posted pictures of the things I’m selling to encourage people to come and check them out in person. In the end I get flagged by 5 miles and my listings get pulled for “duplicates”. Why? Because I used the same pictures for my individual listings as I had in my yard sale listing. So dumb in so many different ways. Just save your time people! If you want to safely and efficiently sell your stuff take the cut and sell through EBAY. Heck, at this point even offer up has better options for sellers than 5 miles. This app is nothing but overhyped due to their “duplicate” commercials on social media.

Stop the spammy notifications. Most of this app is great. I have sold more items on here than any other app. It’s easy to use, and generally issue free. The one complaint I have is the constant notifications I’m receiving for their auction function. I receive them constantly advertising different items on the platform. I have all notifications turned off in the app settings and still get them. This needs to be fixed. I don’t appreciate receiving adverts through my notifications without option to turn them off.

poorly designed app. I spent about 15 minutes creating my first post, part of that time trying to figure out why they were automatically listing my price in a foreign currency (I'm in the US) and not allowing me to list in US$. After finally sorting that out, it turned out that the app won't post my item because I don't have a cell phone and therefore can't be verified. So, I tried to delete the account (apparently they don't actually 'delete', rather they 'deactivate' your account). It forwarded me to their website on my browser, and repeatedly had me complete captcha tasks, even though it said i was completing them correctly it won't sign me into my account on the browser, even though it works on the app itself.

No thanks, I'll use a different app. The profile photo upload is terrible. It won't center how you set it, and it has to be square or it's impossible to crop it correctly. Then, even when you do finally get it right (I had to go into a secondary app to crop my photo and then come back), it didn't center it as I had selected. It just showed the top left corner of the photo. Also, you need my phone number for verification? No, I'm not doing that. I've had way too many problems with apps and services sharing my phone number, now I get spam and scam calls all day long. So, I'm sorry if I don't trust you, but I just don't trust the situation anymore. Furthermore, if you need my phone number and won't budge on that, fine. Could you tell me BEFORE I typed up my whole first ad and cropped all the photos of the item (keep in mind, I had to back out and use a secondary app to make them square first and then come back to upload them). That was terribly annoying and insulting that you would try to make someone feel "forced" to submit personal info once they've completed their ad. I just started trying it out a few minutes ago, and you've already greatly annoyed me twice. Thanks, but no thanks. I will not be using your service.

TERRIBLE! Deserves no stars.. This app is awful. It’s supposed to be 5 mile distance but I get listings from the whole eastern seaboard. I went to settings over and over and over. I set the distance for 10 miles, set the sort order for closest. When I go back it’s the same, I tried re entering my search, it’s exactly the same. I go back to settings, it’s all back to default. There is no way to save your settings. Then there are the constant ads and multiple listings from commercial companies. Sometimes there will be a dozen of the same commercial listing in a row. Also, after scrolling endlessly and finally found a couple of listings In in my area they were over a year old- and no wonder- trying to find what you’re looking for is not worth the time. Do not waste your time. This is the worst buying/selling app I’ve ever come across.

The worst of the four popular classifieds apps. 1. Takes forever to load compared to Craigslist, Offer Up and Letgo apps. 2. Generates the fewest sales compared to the above listed apps. Namely one sale compared to a few dozens througout the other platforms. No wonder, how many users would want to stick with 5 Miles considering all the drawbacks? 3. Limits photo size, allowing to load any shape photo and then removing (!) the entire ad a few minutes after posting because “one of my photos was too long”. At least allow to edit photos instead of having me post the entire ad all over again! 4. Persistently displays new activity notification on app icon even when I already reviewed it. 5. Counts app generated nonsensical notifications as messages making me check the app way too often with no way to turn them off and keep the relevant buyer message notifications. Update: after a few of these before noon today I did change the rating from 2 stars to 1 star. 6. Gets stuck on some screens making it impossible to continue without closing the app and reopening it again. 7. The ads are as irrelevant and ugly as could be (think advertising gross pics apps over and over again).

“SMILES” attracts more MATURE w/MOSTLY SERIOUS BUYERS and SELLER!S. “-The 1st Time I opened the APP, I filled directs and registered, then W went to the EXACT-CATEGORY, and literally in 5 minutes found JUST what We desperately needed and the ASKING PRICE SEEMED SO FAIR, and the Gentleman so POLITE, I felt it was a “Fair & Square” Deal!!! I did not ask for the discount (which could not be much...the price was immediately satisfactory (I’ve been shopping-around BECAUSE I AM 60 YEARS OLD, TERMINALLY DISABLED, and on a ‘FIXED INCOME’ that barely allows Me an extra $400 monthly. But, that covers ZERO because mostly it’s for food. Potty paper. Toothpaste and CLOTHING from Goodwill. So, when I immediately FOUND IT... “I bought it!” (THAT IS HOW THESE APPS ARE SUPPOSED TO “WORK”)....! - -Right??! “-ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!” P. S:My Wife and I really feel the need to say “THANK YOU ‘5’-MILES”! You and My ADULT SELLER turned Me from “A BROWSING PERSON” into a “BUYING Person...In just “5 -MINUTES!”. (-that’s gotta be a RECORD!) -a little miracle happened!) lol!

3 stars and I write why. The App itself is actually good. Giving points or coins is also a good idea. Good to handle, easy. But here the cons: I never so,d or buyers anything here. In fact today I deleted the app, because I posted a car for sale. The statistics in 8 hours are: 135 answers in FB marketplace (including some local sales groups I have to admit). 24 askings in OfferUp (Letgo). 5 askings in the local neighborhood page Nextdoor. Not a single one in 5 miles. Every time I tried to sell something or buy something, 5 miles wasn’t a big part of it. I am sorry to write that, but somehow nobody really using the app. It just make me do some work for nothing. The intention and making of the App would make me 5 stars. The reaching out to customers just only one. If ther will be a better marketing and advertising to reach out for more people, I surely consider to re-I stall. As I said. I hate to make bad reviews. But sometimes things have to be said and maybe for a better reason making a change. Thx 5miles and maybe another time

Slow helping staff. I have this member who wrote a false review, which I’ve never sold or bought anything from this person. And have yet to hear anything from their support staff, I don’t believe a person should be able to leave a review without me buying or selling an item to them or at least should be able to write a review back but for some odd reason this person was able to write a review on me but I wasn’t allowed to write one on them plus I had blocked them so they should’ve never been able to get onto my profile. Major bugs need to be fixed Now I’ve been dealing with harassment from the same user for an hour. And yet to hear anything for support and hopefully they ban this user but from the looks of it probably not

Ridiculous. I’ve been using 5 mile for a few years. Recently I found out you need to ((pay)) to boost your items you are selling. I have a lot of items. I’ve worked hard to get them. I’m trying to make money with the stuff I am selling. Money is tight and this gets me by. Anyways why do we have to pay you in order to boost. I’m trying to make money in the first place. Why would I pay you when I hardly have any. It’s been free to boost forever. I had over 50 items that I was selling and now since I’m being charged a few dollars an item I decided to unlist and delete all of my items off of 5 mile. This is ridiculous. I’m not going to pay you anything. I am deleting the app and going elsewhere. 😡

Improve on the way you make a post!. Dear developer, Please make pictures bigger after you choose them. It’s so tiny and there’s no way to view the picture bigger before posting. Also, when looking at your listings, please make the pictures a lot lot bigger. Also, when going back and forth on your selections when making a new post, the text keeps getting deleted. Please make it a way for the text to not disappear. Sometimes I forget to click on a different picture to post and I go back to the option where you choose pictures. I already put the description and when I go forward to the next screen, all my descriptions are deleted!

App is a joke. This app is a joke. There are so many fake users asking for your number and they do nothing about them. And then when you list your household items under the household category they remove them. I had my treadmill removed from household and when I sent them a chat asking where it should go they told me it needed to be under fashion and accessories and health and beauty!! How does that even make sense over household and when I questioned it they said it was the only category they would allow treadmills in. What??? This app has great potential but they need to get their crap together. For now I will just use let go and offer up. They don’t give you any hassle and are much more user friendly.

App for Scammers. This app is plagued with scammers, and 5miles does absolutely nothing to protect the customer. On eBay when a buyer makes a purchase you know the sellers real name, email address, physical address, and phone number simply by conducting business with the seller. For some reason 5miles chooses to hide basic contact information from the buyer, so if anything goes wrong with the transaction the buyer is screwed. 5miles response to me was that that would be a good future update for the app to allow buyers to see the sellers contact information. My scammer’s account has yet to be banned, but can you believe the scammer was actually allowed to block me!? What’s even more ridiculous is that 5miles is unwilling to provide me with any of my sellers contact information unless I get a subpoena. Has anyone at 5miles even offered to reach out to the seller in an attempt to retrieve my money. Absolutely, NOT! eBay, why did I ever leave you!

Not enough users. The app is fine, it’s general premise is the same as offer up. The problem is they have like no users. Maybe it’s me but I will post something and after a week have less than 10 views while the same item on offer up has several hundred. I have sold two items here while on the other app I have sold closer to 50/60 in the same amount of time. It’s time to do a marketing push here, there are basically no other local selling apps other than the one I have been mentioning, all other apps take a large percentage and charge to ship (even in local situations, Mercari ) This app would be great if people actually used it!

Let’s see an advertisement reduction!. The commercial ads are getting ridiculous one as soon as you open the app immediately and then by time you click on a post you get slapped with another ad! I mean I understand how this all works and keeping it free for the users to use I almost a clicking on the ad just because I know it’s gonna take 10 minutes find what im looking for. At that point you still have to shop around and see what kind of deal you can get retirement said and done you’ve already seen 20 ads and 10 of those are repeats!

5 Miles has been useless for me. I’ve listed multiple things over the past few years on 5 Miles and have never sold a thing on it. My listings on Facebook Marketplace and even craigslist have sold very quickly so I wouldn’t really recommend this app. Also, the functionality of 5 Miles is really annoying, you MUST download the app if you want to edit your post as opposed to editing it on the computer. I listed an item almost a year ago, sold it on FB Marketplace, and am still getting people trying to underbid me because I don’t even have the app to respond. Therefore, instead of just going on the site to mark it as sold, I must download the app again just to say it was sold long ago on another platform.

Reviews were right about Spam Calls. I really tried to give this app the benefit of the doubt that maybe the spam calls are from people who did not switch the courtesy calls setting off on their phone. I downloaded the app, turned off those notifications, and then tried to sell some of things bcus I was looking for as many platforms I can sell my things at such as letgo and OfferUp. But as was mentioned, now I am being called every day, several hours throughout from spam/marketing calls. It is really annoying and having to block those numbers out. Deleted the app and never using again. DO NOT TRUST by verifying with your phone number unless you want to be spammed everyday.

Annoying push notifications. If you are installing this application for the first time be prepared to receive lots of annoying push notifications asking you to upgrade your account or other promotional notifications at least once a day. This can get annoying if you are trying to buy/sell something since when you see the notification at first you think it’s because of an item you are interested in or trying to sell but instead it’s the app asking you to buy their 12 month membership because of some promo. Deleted the application, I rather use LetGo or OfferUp or Craigslist, their applications are much less chatty.

Quality of sellers has gone downhill. Used to love this app years ago and my experiences on it were largely positive but lately I have noticed a disturbing pattern: sellers are either putting up fake ads, don’t seem serious about selling or will leave conversations hanging in messages with no explanation or resolution. I see it happen on 5miles way more than I see on other apps. I use apps like offerup, Craigslist and Facebook marketplace and my experiences are much better at these other places. People on these other sites seem motivated to sell and will respond in a fairly timely manner and usually resolve the conversations whether it leads to a sale or not. I’m not sure why this trend of lazy, unmotivated or rude sellers on 5miles but it’s been happening way too much and so I wanted to share that on here. Not sure if 5miles can do anything about this disturbing trend but bottom line I think they should know how buyer experiences compare at other places. And no, I’m not low-balling sellers or being rude to them when I contact. It’s just a consistent pattern I have noticed these days that sellers on 5miles seem unmotivated and often leave conversations hanging way more than I have seen at other selling apps or websites.

5 auto listings. After 5 auto listings you have to pay So in other words if you have car parts of any kind you can only use this app about 5 times before you have to pay. This is a short term app and it is not worth paying for. There is other things they can charge for but this makes the app completely useless. Apps like offer up work much better, same with facebook market place and even the classic craigslist. You don't have to pay with them to post there is no hidden fee or monthly payment just post and sell which is how it should be. If you want to charge people to sell then offer a premium account with features better than stock but if you start taking features away and force people to buy a premium account most of them are just going to merge over to another app.

Favorite Resale App -lots reasons why. I like 5 Miles for these reasons in no order: 1) free/donation category 2) can post video or pictures and up to 6 pics 3) allowed to select thru albums and not just camera roll when posting 4) can select multiple pictures in one post instead of individually 4) you can translate foreign languages via the app 5) BOOST for FREE! (Only one that I have found w/o fee). 6) several categories 7) notifications on new prices of favorited items 8) the level scale based on your reviews (1-5) 3 suggestions : 1) Favorites board that allows one to categorize their favorites or saved items. Offer up does this. 2) more picture allowance. I post wear of my goods, plus measurements and sometimes I have more than 6 pics. Craigslist has most allowance so far that I have found. 3) option to swipe to next item like Letgo

From OK to really bad. From Offer Up to Deal Dash?. This app used to be pretty OK. I used it just like offer up, Facebook marketplace and let go. Unfortunately it has taken a really rough turn trying to be a bidding site. This is extremely unfortunate and is prone to all kinds of fake sellers, items that you don’t have enough time to read the description on before they are a bid off, they really need to go back to what made them good to begin with. They are not eBay, they are not Deal Dash , Now they are not even offer up or let go. I’m not sure who is in charge of the site but they really need to reconsider the direction they are going or they will not be existing for very long. I honestly do not even have them in my buying and selling folder anymore

Not a good experience overall. I got the LetGo app as well as 5Miles. Photos: One thing I loved on 5Miles was the ability to select several photos during the photo upload process. Whereas LG only allowed one photo selection at a time and I had to wait on each photo to load before I could select the next one. Wrong Category: The other thing about 5Miles, two of my toys were categorized wrong. Why? There was not a toy section, so I put it under Other. When I got notice, I looked around and guess where I found Toys? Under Fashion and Accessories. Really? When is a toy a fashion or an accessory? No, you guys have the category mis-categorized. Plus, you can’t just select a new category, you have have to delete the post and start over. Time consuming and ridiculous. Sales: Even though I only had seven items posted I got no likes, no interest and no sales. On other sites I got likes and questions. Folowers: I got two followers. Both Male. I know anyone can follow who they want, but I thought it was weird being I was selling kids toys, baby blankets, woman’s dresses and house shoes. I felt like this is not a dating site and felt uncomfortable. Especially since I never had that experience on other selling apps. Other than that, I don’t like the auction on the site at all and things kept telling me I need to boost and stuff. Not interested, so I deleted the app.

Great market app !. Really and truly one of the greatest local market apps available . Can get good deals on everything from electronics to housewares . There is a feedback system so you can get an idea of who you are interacting . On a couple of my meet ups the other person mentioned that they were nervous about meeting up with cash to buy something. I’d recommend to those who are wary of meeting a “stranger” in public , pick a place like the DMV , a police station, or meet inside a store. Meet during daylight hours as opposed to nighttime, this way you could feel more secure about meeting up to trade . Don’t let the possible (if any) bad apples ruin the experience of using a market like this .

Frustrating app, high online pay fee ☹️. I first have to say the chat support people are great and response time is instant. However, my issue is that listings “default” to accept cash AND online payments and I am a new user and wasn’t aware of this - a buyer also was new to this feature and used it. Online pymt has EXPENSIVE 4.9% fee of the total Then when you get ready to transfer the $ to your bank a pop up message warns you better have the right info or be charged $2 on top of that fee. Go figure, my transfer got a massage saying it was rejected! How, i don’t know since o double checked before sending. A few more tries and I’ll have nothing left of the money I got for my sold item that alreasy was a loss. 😡

Sell your stuff convenient & fast!. Out of all the apps for buying and selling I would have to say I thoroughly enjoy this app the most. 5Miles app makes it super easy and convenient for you to keep in touch with your potential buyer and even know when they read your messages. Too many good things to say about this app and extra features they have that are free to you and also easy to use and navigate around without getting confused or lost.

Worst marketplace app. 5 mile seems to only attract scammers and crooks , customer service is horrible they suspend your account for not allowing yourself to be harassed and cussed out because a possible buyer wants you to do his deal you say no, he than cusses and harasses you he get a warning while you get suspended, or they can continually harass in the review section they are allowed over and over edit their review because you blocked them because of harassment but they still harass thru there and 5mile does not do nothing even when you contact them on it they tell we that’s just part of the 5mile app , again app is horrible if you sell on there just beware you will get harassed and cussed at constantly!

Fake Messages. This is also, as others below have described, been a big issue on the app. People messaging you that haven’t been active for more than 3-5 days or more that message you out of the blue with one or two questions in badly written English. “Can pick up today”, “I would like to buy”, “need more information before I buy now”. These messages are not sent by the buyer but the app itself. Please do NOT use this app to sell your items unless you know it is a REAL person and will actually be in your area to pickup items. I cannot stress enough that someone that hasn’t opened the app in more than a week will not send a message at all. Please fix this in your app, your obvious malpractice of selling, or I will make sure to find a way to get your app off of the App Store.

This app was great but not anymore. I have been using 5miles for 3 years and sold a bunch of stuff using the free boost option. Now the free boost option is no longer available. You get 4 free boost when you list your item that’s it. I will use those 4 free ones in 1 day. I can’t pay to boost listing I am selling items under $20. If you must charge to boost do on items over $50. Why charge people on these small inexpensive items. Those of us who sale “cheap garage sale items” should be given a break. I will be switching to OfferUp. 5MILES if you ever bring back the boost option for items under $50 I will be back. Review from a disappointed former 5miles user.

Falsely advertised items, Fake coins sold as authentic. Fighting with these people to get a refund for coins sold as Authentic US mint rare silver dollars” they are NOT! They are all replicas, and only recently have they added a small blurb that does not show when you are bidding. They know these are FAKE now yet they allow the sellers to continue to seek and advertise these as Authentic antique/ vintage US mint silver dollars and other Authentic coins, but they are all replicas and FAKE WORTHLESS junk from China. The site is as crooked as the sellers since they are endorsing this thievery by allowing it to continue with the same FALSELY advertised claims on the bidding page! They have not yet refunded me and I am starting a complaint with the Federal trade commission, Google and Apple to have them shut down

Total Ripoff!. I bought an ad to advertise for a moving sale. Since there was no category for “moving sale or estate sale,” I picked their “yard sale,” which seemed to be the closest thing to what I needed. The day of the sale, I went in the app and it realized that the ad was never posted, Bc it was in the “wrong category.” I appealed, but by the end of the day, it was still not posted. When I asked customer service to refund my money, Bc they did not provide the service for which I paid, they said no. Thieves! My advice? Don’t bother. Facebook’s Marketplace is where it’s at anyway. I have been on 5 miles for a couple of years. I’ve sold nothing. I have been on Marketplace for 6 months, and that’s where I sell the bulk of everything.

“Fake users”. I can’t 100% prove it but I get messages from people who have not been active in multiple days or weeks. I think the app is looking at products that are not selling well and it sends automated messages from inactive accounts. The messages are asking questions like “ Do you have more pictures?” I always have at least 5+ pictures in my listings. When I ask what other pictures they want there is never a response. They ask “Can you give me more information?” I over explain each of my products to make sure that there is no confusion later in the process. But again when I ask what other information they are looking for, no response. I get the question are they being sold as a group or individually and in the listing it says “I am pricing/selling them individually.” Shocker no response from them either. I have yet to sell anything on here because the couple times I have had real interest the people don’t show up or they are expecting me to deliver a $15 product 30 miles from my house for free. Use a different app this one doesn’t seem to have an ethical setup!

SEARCH ALERTS !!!. Overall, I’ve been pleased with this app. I’ve done a lot of successful transactions. The app itself has his hiccups here and there but they get corrected on updates. One thing I would like to see on an update would be the ability to choose as many “SEARCH ALERTS” as you like. Not just five. This is rather an inconvenience when your trying to get alerts from multiple items your watching but can only have 5. Common guys make this happen & it will be a 5 star app.

Great app except for photo limitations. This is a great user friendly app for the most part. The only exception is that they require all photos to be square and limit the number to twelve. If the photo does not meet their square 2:1 ratio photo limitation, they will not approve the post and therefore it cannot be sold on their site/app. Perhaps it is a limitation of their software developers but, not all objects are square or can be edited to be square without distortion of the object appearance, which would then be a misrepresentation of the product and fraudulent. Please develop a way to give more allowance for sellers. All other marketplaces allow for rectangular and circular photo uploads. That is the reason for the four-star, instead of a five-star rating.

Not for me... I must’ve had an account already made or something but I noticed it pointed out my address. Don’t give no one my address!! What is wrong with you in saying you try to keep the community safe but give them our address. I changed my address on there now i know not to put on use my location EVER. There’s also a phone number you need for this like what if I came on this app to buy a phone? Not a good verification method any creepy weirdo can have a phone number. I feel like there’s some better apps like OfferUp and Letgo & this was just another selling method for me i dont like it honestly

Haggling problems. The destructive and provocative haggling culture of some people, apparently has made 5 miles ban bids lower than a certain ratio of the asking price. Today, I tried to bid $150 on a used Apple Watch that the seller was asking $350 for, but 5 miles said ”please five a reasonable bid”. So I went to Walmart instead and bought a brand new Apple Watch for $149 with warranty and the exact color I wanted. Cheaper than the offer 5miles did not let me place! When I sell I am honest about my asking price but I get these lowballers from hell all the time. So 5 miles = overpriced garbage and unserious buyers inflating the asking price. For some reason, 5 miles seems to attract the absolutely worst people on earth.

No users, makes up for it with bots. 4 people have messaged me about a listing, 0 views. Wonder how that happens? Oh yeah, because they’re bots. They all follow a basic script asking about the item, you respond and the communication stops. Then a couple days later the same thing. Don’t waste your time downloading the app. Either the app used to be good or more than likely they’ve been paying for reviews. Also, filled with ads. Every time you open it you have to close out of a full page ad to proceed. Plus they give you a “currency” that goes up the more you’re in the app. Either they’re using your phones computing power for something or wanting to mine your data.

0 stars - STAY AWAY! Foreign LLC. After all the comments, is a *class action lawsuit* warranted? No, terms of service say binding arbitration. There seems to be zero accountability for this Hong Kong based private entity. I never comment on apps - the experience was SO bad - I write to warn you- “stay away” “don’t waste another second to download”. Seems like a sham app created for harvesting your personal info — bank #, cell #, FB... I had zero sales. Spent lots of time creating listing only to have it repeatedly rejected with a template explanation.... like a chatbot getting it all wrong & then suspending my account. There’s no way to turn off the unwanted “refer to friends” for everything I post. Finally, this app seems to really be a fishing tool for cell phone numbers that result in spam calls... it seems like a sham for something else going on behind the app... info gathering - links to your Facebook wants access to your data & also your purchases & selling habits. I read the terms of service, which confirmed my suspicions. All those generic 5-star ratings seem to be employee, marketing manager creations. Go with Offer-up, Letgo, eBay, ... anything but this.

5 ad ad ad ad ad ad mile. Yep that’s what you get ads nothing but ads. Search all you want and you get an ad pop up. Start the app yep there’s an ad. Goodbye 5mile get your ______ together it doesn’t take 50 million ads to run an app. Make a paid version if you feel the need to make money but I click close and it takes me to the site you’re advertising!! That’s not a close option that’s fake business practices. And only ticks off your user base. Now you can find me on OfferUp.

Unacceptable!. I have had the app for a few years now and started running into an issue with posting. I wasn’t able to get past a certain point and kept giving me an error to where i couldn’t post any new items or even edit current posted items. I got so frustrated that i emailed their tech support to get the issue resolved. I emailed back and forth with now going on 4 people. At first they kept saying restart your phone and try reconnecting your internet and so forth which i thought was weird seeing as though my issue had nothing to do with any of those solutions. I then got an email from another department saying the reason for by denied purchase was due to not having enough “friends”. That’s when i knew they weren’t going to resolve the issue. Why is it so hard to fix a cliche on the app. I haven’t had this issue before so I’m not sure why it started now. It has made the app impossible to use which is very disappointing. I’ll be using other apps for my selling needs and keep this in mind when reaching out to a company like this. My issue is still currently unresolved.

2 days into the 24 hour “order pending” process. I’ve honestly never seen anything like it, other than a commercial that used to be on TV were customer service personnel were only authorized to apologize, repeatedly… Apparently there is some provision somewhere deep within the details of 5 mile, that allows them to suspend your transaction by placing it into pending status, due to a nonspecific issue that no one in customer service can identify or communicate to you, even though your credit card has been billed and the seller has selected a meet up location and scheduled to meet you. I wasted four hours of my time on Friday while waiting for Customer Service to get to the bottom of what specifically the issue was, but they seem completely unable to do anything other than apologize; which to their credit, which they have done repeatedly over and over again for the last 36 hours…. And fine apologizers they are indeed… however, eventually become you’re really aware but they seem to have the ability to do nothing but apologize, as they have no information, can’t get any information, can speak to no one who has any information, and provide no solution whatsoever for your dilemma… An amazing experience, because I have truly never seen anyone be so well-trained and polite while providing no information or solutions whatsoever… Truly remarkable.

Absolute garbage. Use ANY other sales app instead!. I haven’t had ANY positive experiences with this app. I spend the time to type out detailed listings, add my pictures, etc. only to have my listings removed with ZERO explanation. When you click the option to appeal, it immediately gets denied, again without explanation. If you email them for clarification, it’s the same thing. I tried getting more information, and they told me that nobody can sell those items, yet there are LITERALLY dozens of them listed! They said I could report them, so I did, yet over a week later & theirs are still up. I’ve NEVER had a listing removed in the other selling apps! In fact, with this app, I’ve never had any real people inquire about my items. Maybe the previous reviews I read were accurate. Sorry if this review sounds like a rant- I’m frustrated!!

False messages?. After reading a few reviews I feel like I’m getting the same fake messages from folks. In the past week I’ve gotten 5 seemingly interested people either asking if an item is available or requesting more information. As others have experienced, there is no response back to my reply. On other platforms, even when it is a mistake of just saying they like the item, at least they respond letting me know that’s the case. I’m not sure what’s going on here. As an added note, not a single person that has sent a message has been from remotely close to my area.. mostly from about 90 miles away. Again it just adds to my suspicions. I’ll probably give this another week before I delete the app.

Useless App. It doesn't have a wide reaching range in some areas. None of my friends in my area has even heard of it. I had more inquiries from people way more than 5 miles away. I was suddenly getting "followers" from far away places that had never inquired nor bought anything from me. That was odd all in itself. It randomly stopped allowing me to upload photos. I deleted it b/c nothing was selling unlike the other apps I use (Letgo & OfferUp). I'd stay away from this app. It doesn't function well and their customer service option is hard to find w/no responses. Just seems like an overall useless app. I will say that the concept of having an online store that is free is great but again seems useless.

The new update is AWFUL. Why are there two tabs to bid on items now? That’s beyond excessive. I don’t use this app to primarily bid on items as I don’t think anyone else does either, it’s really annoying that this app now majorly highlights that. Not to mention getting rid of the amount/price ($) on pictures for things being sold locally? It doesn’t make me want to click on an item if I don’t know how much someone is selling it for up front. If you put up an item for sell, it will now get lost amongst the countless pictures of other things being sold and you will get less traffic to that item since the price will not be listed on the “local” tab your post is found. Really awful update.

Decent, but there’s better alternatives.... Decent, but there’s better alternatives out there. I’ve used 5 miles for quite some time and I’ve sold and made purchases on it. Most recently I was searching for workout equipment and saved a search and requested notifications. While I do receive notifications, I am unable to open them. I contacted technical support and requested assistance. I advised them that I have an iPhone 9 running the latest software and that I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app without success. They have contacted me several times stating that my request was received, updated and finally resolved. I said that’s great, would you care to share with me exactly how you resolved my request since I’m the one that requested the help and I still can’t open my notifications. They again sent me a reply stating my request has been updated. That’s great, updated to what? All I get is cryptic replies that mean nothing. If you don’t know how to fix it, I’d appreciate the honesty a lot more. I’m deleting my account and like I said, there’s a lot better alternatives out there. Thanks.

Just a terrible app.. If you look through the reviews you read reviews that have 5 stars but everything they said was a negative about the app. This app is filled with spam and advertisements, it does not feel authentic. It links to other apps like “burner phone” that just want to make you subscribe for payments to o use. The speed deals that you bid on are just cheap items from china that show an original price that is completely made up, a scam I hope people do not fall for. User-ability is terrible and difficult to navigate. I also believe messages are fake to think your products are getting interest. The final thing. I have never heard of this app and found it by just strolling though the app store. I have never heard of anyone else actually using this app. Stay away, there are way better apps and websites you could use to sell your items.

Getting worse with every update. Now there is no way to set the distance & they’ve added something stupid where you can bid on items. I won a bid & they expect me to pay for it & you can’t even tell them your size. I’m not paying for anything if your not able to have it sent in my size. Stupid addition to 5 miles. Also, this app never boosts my items, even after 2 days. I notice everyone else’s items are boosted. I’m not selling anything that is prohibited, so there is no excuse. I got rid of this app in the past because of the same problem with boosting, decided to see if the problem was fixed, but nothing has changed. I don’t expect to get a response since no one really cares about reviews unless it’s a good review. Totally useless app.

Not good for the Ganges made. I have had this app for a year or more. And list a minimum of 75 listings. But sine you can only boost the list 3 times for free and just pay for featuring after that my store activity has dropped by 90%. Abductors boost all of my listings would be almost $400 for a week. This has made it not worth my time in list or even selling on this app. I will go elsewhere , when at one time this was a productive and gainful of list my jewelry and art that I do . It’s a waste of time and I won’t spend the money they ask for to feature a proxy that I shouldn’t gave or it basically falls if the radar. Bad move on thier part

Worse app ever. I have been using this app for the past year. All other apps that I’m using are very productive, I have daily sales while this app, got me one customer that actually came, communicated and bought. All the users are sending INTERESTED but never reply back. In 1 year to get one customer is pretty lame. I feel there’s no exposure to my items even when I bump them a few times a day. I gave this app so many tries, hoping that it will get better but it’s not. I also contacted the app to check why my items don’t get popular but they didn’t reply. IF I COLUD GIVE THIS APP 0 STARS, I WOULD TOTALLY DO THAT!!!

Horrible pay to sell. Doesn’t make sense to pay money to sell something to get money you can post 20 things and 2 people will look at it in 3 days it’s insane. They’ll show no one your stuff unless you pay like $20 a month from the to “ market your page” so people that don’t do this will literally sell nothing because no one will find it. Horrible horrible idea and not to mention the people who do message you are scammer who ask for your cash app and email so be on the look out .

Harassing and abusive notification policy. This app has a settings screen to adjust which notifications you want/don’t want. The only issue is - doesn’t mean anything to them. I requested that “marketing” notifications be deactivated, but it has been weeks and I still get stupid push notifications about auctions for BS headphones and knock off electronics. I just want to use it for selling/buying. Don’t offer the setting if you won’t actually do it. I can’t turn off notifications through my iPhone, because then I miss customers wanting to buy my shop items. The worst platform. Will be closing soon.

Auction system ruining the app. I use this app as an alternative to LetGo/OfferUp/Craigslist. It used to be my favorite of the three, but the recent auctioning system was the “final straw for me”. The app starts up with an ad you have to wait 5 seconds for on the splash screen. When you scroll there is ads littered through the items making it hard to tell the difference between an ad and a listing. Now those two things are OK for me it is a free app after all, but when you add a cheap malware looking bid system to the mix and load it as the front page.... I’d rather look elsewhere for a buying and selling app.

Successful Selling - App freezes up to often. With gas prices hitting all time highs, this app is convenient to sell locally but the app freezes up too often and it’s frustrating! After restarting I don’t even bother to pick up where I left off which only hurts sellers. Hope the app isn’t crashing when people view and take interest in my items!

Meh...it's ok for what it is. Starting with the good...when scrolling thru posts, you get to see the price before having to click on the listing. This saves time & energy. The bad, ADS! Trying to search for something and game ads hijack the experience. I don't have time for that. I get it though...free to use isn't free....the developers need to make money. But I probably would prefer a banner to different ad format.

Best buying/selling/trading app out there!. Many more categories than OfferUp and LetGo. Has more features and better ways of promoting your products. My favorites are ability to add your phone number and buyers can call you with just a touch of a button. Also allows payment through the app so no cash has to be exchanged. Shipping is also encouraged as an option with 5Miles. Spread the word!

Fix the Picture cropping Feature!. We have stopped using this app due to the issue of half of our items being cut off on both sides of the pictures. It would be nice to have another form of selling however, The out of frame photos do not give the buyer a clear high quality photo to view the item. The crop feature is not required as most user are using there phone to post.

Fake User Reviews. People are allowed to post fake reviews. One user’s profile is rated 100%, but there are two other users posting multiple positive reviews. This person never showed up and I was not allowed to post my honest review on the user’s profile. What’s the point in reviews if only five star reviews are allowed to be posted. These profile reviews misguide other users. Emailed customer support about this and never got a reply. Update: contacted customer support again like the response suggested. I got a “we don’t handle this” reply and was asked to contact another team within 5 miles. Waste of my time.

The worst.. If you’re a seller, don’t bother. Your ads will be immediately removed over the simplest things. Like not putting it in the right category, even if there isn’t a category provided for your item and you put it in “other” it will still be removed. I took Live Photo’s of my product and they said they were stock photos that don’t show the real quality of the product and removed them. Sorry for taking good photos I guess lol I’ve used OfferUp and Letgo on a regular basis and they don’t give me any trouble. This app is a nightmare to deal with though. Don’t waste your time.

Can’t put condition on posting.. I have had a very positive and happy relationship with this app. But lately haven’t been able to post any items. Won’t allow me to put the condition of the item. Only to a link that is more like a FAQ for putting the condition of the item. Help a brother out.

Sold nothing, lots of ads, lots of spam. I don’t live in the most populated area so that might be partially to blame here. However, the endless notifications of “BUY A CAR THRU OUR APP” and “LIST MORE THINGS” and such were irritating and unnecessary. People across the country were finding my stuff and trying to buy it... not locals. If I want to sell nationally I’ll use The Big Auction Site. In the meantime, this app suffers from spam ads, scammers, and useless notifications. It looks like it could be good but it’s done nothing for me. Deleted it and went to FBmkt place and online auctions instead.

Order. There is a outstanding order which I have not yet received. I got it on DASH DEAL last month. I’ve not received it nor have I had any communication concerning it. This is poor customer service. And it is not easy to find a phone # or other communication to convey my complaint. I would like to have some kind of response. It’s circumstances like this that makes me Leary about on line orders. If I do not hear something soon, I will have to contact my bank to charge back the money already taken from my account. It simply is not conducive to trust when a company ignores orders and inquiries. Please respond Ginger Henry 17 Heron Dr. Sanger, Tx

Complete and total trash. Now with COVID, an app that used to be halfway decent now has a home page of garbage made in China face masks and sanitizer at inflated prices that ship from Dallas. Full of ads everywhere and I’m constantly clicking on an ad by accident. Every, single, person you meet on this app will immediately start to haggle. First message they send - hey I don’t like your price. How about mine instead? Use Letgo (excellent app and has a verification system for people using it). The notifications can be a little glitchy but less ads and better quality people to meet. I’ve done many transactions with Letgo without a problem.

Great app. This app is great but is there a way you can show when someone read a message and is there a way to send people an email to have them update their item after a few weeks because there is lots of things that I try to buy that are sold but they don't mark them sold

Problems with the messages. I updated to latest version and now I cannot see the incoming messages most of the time on any of the items. At 1st it took a long while to show on my screen and now they just don’t show. I only get part of the message on the notification and it also seems that sometimes when replying they don’t see my message either. I have to quit the app and then wait if by luck they appear that person(s) has sent it more than once b4 I could be able to see it. It just takes a while to get back to them. Problem I didn’t have b4.

Don’t use. A few times I rated someone negative because I gave them my location to meet for an item sale and they never respond after or show up... I get threatened by these users after the negative feed back via private message I reported it but the best the moderators will do is give them a warning?? The rating system is a mess, of course a user will want to retaliate with insults or leaving a negative feedback on your account as well It shouldn’t be tolerated, the moment I received a threat and all they did was give them a warning was the day I realized the people running this app are a joke. Stick to OfferUp and letgo or even Mercari

Constant pop up ads in the app now. Used to love this app. Now every time I open it there’s a full screen pop up ad that you can’t close out easily- loud jangling annoying ads popping up and they’re hard to close out without it redirecting to advertisers website which seems as designed, to get clicks- I mean if you’re charging a percentage of sales for sellers to sell things and ship I think you shouldn’t trick people into clicking on an ad they have no interest when they’re just attempting to close the ad.

Stop the spammy notifications. Most of this app is great. I have sold more items on here than any other app. It’s easy to use, and generally issue free. The one complaint I have is the constant notifications I’m receiving for their auction function. I receive them constantly advertising different items on the platform. I have all notifications turned off in the app settings and still get them. This needs to be fixed. I don’t appreciate receiving adverts through my notifications without option to turn them off.

Impossible to delete your account. They make it essentially impossible to remove your account. Makes you click on a link, then login. But wouldn’t connect to my Facebook account, kept making go through an excessive amount of captcha’s and then said I had the wrong password with no way to reset my password, several attempts at password of which each included having to go through the captchas all over again. Beyond frustrating! So I removed as much information as I could, replaced with fake information (couldn’t remove my phone number) and deleted the stupid awful app.

Can not verify account.... please help. I have recently gotten a new phone number about 2 weeks ago and I am trying to open up an account but when I try to verify my account it is saying that my phone number is already verified and connected with to another account... Can you please help with this matter? Other than that, this is an !!OUTSTANDING!! app and highly recommend this app to any and everyone!! JOB WELL DONE DEVELOPERS!!!!

DO NOT GET THIS APP. I lost money on a bid and never got any info on the tracking. When I emailed customer support, all they were able to tell me was that the transaction was completed. I got another email asking about the first email. I let them know that I never got a response about tracking and they never got back to me about tracking on the shipment, status of the order or even the option of a refund. That is what I get for falling for the scam but I hope other people can see this and avoid this hassle.

Awful experience with this app. An acquaintance recommended this app/site as a good platform to sell my photography prints to more people. He could not have been more wrong. The people working there nitpick every little detail, and you can’t have more than 1 of the same photo. Trying to explain to more than one person that I print what people buy, and therefore sell multiple size prints at different prices was like talking to a wall. They seemed to insinuate that I was scamming people, and refused to allow my post. I felt like an unvalued customer, and would never recommend them to anyone.

SCAM COMPANY 5miles dash!. When you bid on an item and win then they tell you that what was advertised might not be what you get. I won 5 coins and paid for them and then it states that what was advertised as far as year and type of coin will be different. I have sent over 2 dozen emails for a total refund the same day as purchased. I have received over 60 ROBO RESPONSES. Stating items were already shipped which was a lie. I am contacting my district ATTORNEY TO FILE A LAWSUIT

Not as good as it’s made out to be!!. I have more sales on Letgo Craigslist & Offer up than I do 5 miles,, like any other selling site it has its fair share of time wasters which is fine we all get that.. But sales on here are slow and I don’t price high and list some very good items.. All I can suggest is try this app yourself and see how you get on.. it is a very well put together app and easy to use so for that I’ll give it 2 stars but it’s not worth it really.. you would get more sales doing a yard sale in a tornado

👎🏼👎🏼🤷🏼‍♀️. This app has potential to be good but as far as safety measures, they have none. I reported a man by the user name of Titilokster Pacheco two weeks ago for being inappropriate by offering to buy one of my items with drugs instead of money. He then offered to buy my item for a lower asking price which I said “no” to and responded with “ok I’ll give you 20..n u give me a kiss then 😘” with a followed up of his phone number with eggplant emojis. Might want to improve on that considering the age for this app is 12+. Oh by the way, this man still has an active 5 mile account. Absolutely NOTHING has been done.

Keeps sending you notifications of new items when there aren’t. I find it quite annoying that they keep sending multiple notifications that there are new items of the filters you have saved just to get you to go to the app so I’m removing all filters moving forward in hopes that this make them stop although I doubt it will. I put notifications in this app since I posted an item but this is extremely annoying since it continually makes me look at it for no reason. I would rate it zero stars at this point if I could please fix this!!

Worst App Ever!. Not only are the pop-ups annoying as you log in there is no clear way to delete your account. I keep getting referred to deactivate not delete by both the knowledge base articles and customer service. Not only that, you have to be on the desktop to do any of it. Don’t waste your time. Stick with Craigslist, OfferUp, and Letgo. Just terrible. And if you go to their help section on their website and search “delete” in the search bar, you will see everyone else complaining about this same issue and more as far as two year, TWO, back.

BEWARE OF APPS THAT WONT ALLOW YOU TO DELETE INFO. BEWARE YOU CAN NOT DELETE THIS ACCOUNT ON APPLE APP ITS A TOTAL SCAM OTHERWISE WHY WOULD YPU MAKE IT TO WHERE YOU CAN NOT DELETE ACCOUT Wow this app is more useless then offer up ,visibility there is none , actually had out of 7 items only 20 views ( that’s 3 per item in 3 days ) useless ,really on Facebook themselves I put it on there and I get at least 200 nobody uses this app that I can see to sell stuff and actually buy items utterly useless utterly useless….Another atypical app developed by programmers who have absolutely no clue what the end-user wants guess what people where the end-users not you programmers other trash

Not too shabby. (Updated review) I like how they put the boost feature free again for everyone. It makes it possible to actually sell your stuff and get attention to your items by bumping them to the top. They added where you can see all the pictures to tap thru them instead of just swiping which is nice. Been using the app for a long time now and i’d recommend it

Very poor app. I downloaded this app, played around with it about two minutes, and will now be deleting it. It shows me almost no local items, a lot of what I see is for items from other states and there really aren’t that many items to begin with. Under the Free section it is all just a lot of scam posts about FREE smartphones which we all know is not legit. There is a bidding section that is LOADED with very obvious counterfeit & replica items, I cannot believe this app allows that. Michael Kors, Gucci, Tiffany’s etc...all fake. I’m disgusted. If you legit just want to see posts about local items for sale within 5 miles this is NOT the app for that.

Constant spam notifications. Uninstalled after less than 48 hours due to constant notifications about collecting coins that *can't be turned off*. Someone tell the devs that the "daily login" style monetization strategies used by lootcrate games are designed to build gambling addictions and don't apply here. Nobody wants to hear a peep out of a Craigslist copycat app unless it's a DM from a buyer. Presumably the goal is to keep users coming back weeks to months later because people don't always have stuff to buy or sell, but retention-by-addiction is not an effective strategy here and is in fact super annoying.

Quick & easy except for hard categories. I have used this app to buy and was pleased. Then I went to sell large TV. I put it in electronic category. They took it down (not approved). When I think of TV I don’t think home & garden. When I buy TV I go to electronics section of store. So did everybody else. I scrolled home & garden category - no TVs. Scrolled electronics - there they were. 5Miles said all those ads were being pulled. Why argue with users? Still don’t understand. Administrators not flexible.

Not what it used to be. I used this app in the past with great success and really liked it. Uploaded to my devices again recently. Receiving multiple notifications daily which was annoying as none of the notifications were for anything I was buying or selling. Then a few minutes ago my wife and I were talking about possibly adopting a puppy and the next notification that pops up is a link to view pet adoptions on the 5 miles app. No Thank You!!! A creepiness factor like that needs to be gone. Deleted the app from my devices. They do not need to be listening to my conversations. Bye 5 miles…

Very helpful. I found that using 5 miles i was able to still run my lucrative business pimping while buying used hockey equipment. This was my all time highest year of not cross checking . I have kept my elbows down and have cross checked legally and clean . Being only a senior league I do still enjoy the concussion’s I can hand out optionally. It’s rare these days to stand tall And proud knowing I have completed obligations.

Success!. For such a broad app, very easy to use, post and deliver. Only thing it can’t control are those connecting with you within 5 miles. Otherwise, I’ve sold a number of things through the app. Last, I spent two days in my driveway attempting to sell items at a yard sale, with no success. I sold all items on this app in a matter of three days.

I got my money stolen!. I just used this app for the first time and this girl stole my money. I was unsure of what to do . However she has blocked me has made a new acct selling the same item she stole my money from! I am pretty sure other people are getting their money stolen from her. She even asked for my shipping address and all and I paid extra for shipping and then she just blocked me out of no where . I have to wait on my transaction to go thru do I can try to get money back with my bank. The costumer service for this app is terrible , nobody has contacted me back ! Don’t buy from a girl named Chelseyy Ninaa or the acct with it spelled Chelsey Nina in North Carolina!

Worst selling app ever!!!!!. Honestly, this app has allowed me to get harassed, verbally abused and constantly disrespected by scammers, fraudulent accounts and very ignorant people. This app has angry and hateful people who just like wasting your time. I’ve literally drove and waited on SEVERAL BUYERS, left hanging! And only to get harassed after I leave an honest review about them. All the recent reviews are correct about this app, its terrible. I’ll be keeping my business on Offer Up or Facebook Marketplace. It’s actually regulated and a safe place to conduct business. 5 miles….NEVER AGAIN

Constant nagging. I really am annoyed that every time I exit out from a message it wants me to change my notification settings. I don’t want to change my notifications if I wanted them on I would have switched them on the first time I was asked. The app is worse then my mother when I was in high school “did you do your homework?” Every 5 seconds leave me alone you helicoptering notification window.

Terrible experience. I tried it out for a couple weeks but didn’t manage to sell anything. Finally gave up and deleted the app, but a couple days later after doing that. I got text messages about people wanting to buy my items. I quickly downloaded the app again and responded informing them the items were still available. They never responded or opened my messages. I assumed they were bots from the app just trying to get me to use the app. I deleted it once again and the same thing happened AGAIN. Don’t download this app big waste of time unless you like trying to talk to bots.

Worse selling app. I’m taking my sweet time to leave a review cause they really deserve it. This app is the worse to be completely honest. 🤦🏻‍♂️ you have to pay to sell your car wheels or even a car you have for sale then others app I have used that you don’t. So you’re paying them to post up a ad that won’t even end up selling or getting views cause no one use this app at all no more. If you don’t believe me give it a shot find out yourself from back in the days when it first started to now what a crap guess they changed owners or they trying to hustle us now by charging us to post

Worst App Ever!!. First of all, your filtering system absolutely stinks! I have to set the filter every time and it doesn’t even work! I’m getting listings from over 300 miles away and it’s a nuisance to navigate through this app. 2. Your pricing is terrible, you actually charge for selling and purchasing items. I use Letgo and other sales apps every day and by far this is the worst app I ever used. Your developers need to really revise this app if you want to stay in business because it is just a waste of space on my phone. I wish I read some of the reviews before I downloaded this crap! Thank you for wasting my time!

HORRIBLE. This app is a JOKE! The previous reviews where people have stated that FAKE users are contacting them is TRUE. All of the people who have contacted me about my item do not respond back to any of my messages: they are inactive users. Rather than having fake users contact me, I would be happier if no one contacted me. The point in using this app is to sell items to people who are ACTUALLY interested, not to deal with fake accounts. If this is an ongoing issue, it’s not worthy of using. HOWEVER, if they fix this issue, I HIGHLY DOUBT, I will stick around a bit longer. The next fake user that contacts me, I will not respond and delete this app!!!

Notifications. Lol…notice how you can’t set up PUSH notifications for simply messages, which is the only thing we need when it comes to selling and buying. But you CAN set up push notifications for all the marketing and “related” searches and junk to bombard you with nonsense daily. Lol - Offer Up was always better and even more so after they bought LetGo. Uninstalling 5 miles…Offer Up is amazing and even Craigslist is better than 5 Miles. Bring back push notifications for messages only, then I’ll consider you guys again

Messages Extremely Slow to Appear, If at all!. I don't know what changes you have made, but your messaging functionality is super slow in its response and awful these days! I can not see messages from sellers or buyers and it's affecting my sales. They either don't show up at all, the same message repeats multiple times, or the messages come through extremely late. I have to go to my email in order to check the messages. I can't check them in the app. This is a nuisance and irritating to say the least. Please fix this bug asap! I used to like your app! Revert back to your more user friendly and better version of the programming!

Videos and body shame has to go.. I will no longer be using this app. Frequently, I get notifications from the app about videos that were posted, I’m assuming this is a commercial, but typically the videos comments that 5 miles share are some kind of body shaming, or inappropriate comments that appear as notifications from 5miles. It is absolutely unacceptable for an application that supposed to be selling things locally to be posting body shaming comments. The world needs kindness, not this crap. Do better. If I could give this no stars, I would.

The way a social marketplace should work.. 5 miles is great for buying and selling things within the neighborhood or in my case the Central Florida area. The only suggestion I have is to make the website easier to communicate on. I couldn’t find a way to message a buyer via Chrome so I had to open the app up on my phone to chat.

Very useful and annoying!. This is a solid selling platform once you learn to work within it's idiosyncrasies, the parts they use to separate themselves from the compitition. I would like to give this app higher than a 2 star rating buy the constant notifications about updates to the in app currency "coins" make the app almost unusable. If I could choose which notifications I received from the app then perhaps I could rate it higher but I can't tell if my listings need attention, do I have a sell, or is the app letting me know I have received 0.02 more coin in the last hour.

Ship sellers. Make more money have more customers of course watch the auction guy I won blue tooth headphones over 8 days ago have not received yet it’s ok cause the bank will refund your money but shipping is easy great item great app but pay thru 5 miles app then it’s shipped with tracking then the app has A 30 Day refund policy in place can’t be beat this app was a great idea but watch theses sellers with no reviews scary Good Luck Sellers

Ridiculous. This app useless. I don’t know if the users are fake or if the app just never sends my messages. I have sent messages to MANY people selling ps4 saying that I will buy it. Neverrrr do I get a response, then I get the notification a couple hours later saying that they sold it already. Ridiculous. Useless. And crap. Use another app. This app ruined my little brother’s Christmas because I had promised him a ps4 and because this application’s lack of hard work, I was not capable of buying him one and in no way could I afford a brand new one. So screw this app. Use another. Swear if I could give 0 stars I would. Useless.
