★★★★★ "Not a lot of people use this app in comparison to Marketplace, which is still superior in traffic. Also, the app doesn't protect buyers or sellers alike for their transactions. Beware." - Fiona Yeung

You need to sign in with a phone number then 1 month later you'll receive scam text to claim offers about gambling uninstalled now I have to change my phone number
holy ai ads
Targeting me for selling my dolls I made. Even though there's tons of the same kind of dolls being sold. Karrot first removed one for being a counterfeit which it wasn't. and then today I find they have removed every single one of my listings for "professional selling" ! I'm NOT a professional seller, This is so unfair and won't even let me delete me account. they claim my listings go against the rules for being a professional seller. I'm not. I sold ONE doll on Karrot. I did nothing wrong.
This app is a data grab disguised as a marketplace. It pushes for unnecessary personal info with no transparency. I listed 5 items and their AI buried all of them-zero visibility, nothing sold. Instead of fixing reach, it spams notifications trying to sell me things. Completely defeats the purpose. Facebook Marketplace and Kijiji perform far better. No ROI, no value. Deleting this useless app.

Not available in my area, why advertise it as a selling app, then limit it to only major cities, closest available "neighborhood" was 4 hours away
importing listings rarely works
I've had this app for a couple months with items on it and no one has messaged with interest for any items. I'm getting more action in the Facebook marketplace. this app is a waste of time.
I have notifications set only for meetups or chats yet every day I get notifications about something I've looked at that I haven't even hearted. Clientele is also so much like marketplace now with people trying to lowball you even though you haven't checked "open to offers". More annoying than useful now-a-days. IT IS OFF - THAT'S MY GRIPE
There is no way to renew the listing. other apps will notify you that your ad is about to expire and you can renew it and it goes to the top of the list again, another app will allow you to simply delete and re-add with the push of a button. these are really handy features that are not available with this app.
Lot of no shows
You post your items for a certain price. If you receive an offer, which is rare, you receive them at 30 percent of the posted price. The app is easy to use. If you want to give away items, this is the app for you!
Manner meter is inaccurate. I had a terrible interaction with someone, left a negative review, and their profile says 100% positive reviews. Do not trust the manner meter.
App seems very dead, not many buyers and sellers rarely reply. Also moderation sucks, I keep seeing prohibited items like tobacco being sold, even after reporting them. Occasionally if you're lucky you can find decent vintage items being sold.
Well designed but nothing ever sells on here. Just use FB marketplace
