I cannot load the Australian version, just french ?
useless app
Garbage! NOBODY who posts ads replies when you message them. You can't leave a review on their profile unless first receiving a message, which nobody does. You can't report or flag a profile either, which would cut users down for not replying on ads. There's absolutely ZERO moderation on your guy's website/app, so with that being said, I'm going to review bomb this app on Google with as many accounts as I can until they fix the issue. I'd encourage others to do the same!
there is no free add, fraud, only taking money for add, nothing else.
Esta app cada vez está peor, ahora no solo asusta a otros miembros cuando les pasas tu teléfono con leyendas aterrorizadoras, su chat no sirve, no acepta capturas, no tiene audio ni vídeo, te censuran todas tus fotos hasta los dibujos animados, te destruyen tu cuenta si un menor de edad no autorizado te contacta, ahora PEOR, te ponen en baja visibilidad todos tus anuncios, borraron tu teléfono,y tu página WEB, si no pagas, prácticamente tus mensajes ya no se verán, ya nada es gratis hambreados.
there all cheeting.. even massage also don't try this
A has been app use to be good. Now it's all about money and no results. DO NOT Recommend.
itsa poor app all or frauds don't truest any one
Useless money grab full of scammers and wrongly blocking legit people.
First they removed a category from the app. Now we can't post any ads without paying for premium. Not worth wasting time on this useless application.
So far, the only people responding to my ads have been call girls and obvious scammers. I've been there for six months, and it's terrible.
Won't accept Google link, or separate email to even register. just a dead circular link
can't ever log in
poor everything you call someone using the call button it resets and you have to start again... now the stupid app won't even open very bad design
used to be a good site but now no one ever responds back or even looks at your posts because all they care about is money as usual that you now have to pay money for ppl to actually see or view your posts...total bs
Useless. no option for free ad. they say free but to activate it needs payment.. really pissed. trusted Locanto but now ur cheats
the app is based on chrome v.99 too old
what happend to this app, it is slow to approve, double standard oriented, and restrictive to members use. what has been a great app to start off, has become a used to be.
edit: Can't even click chats. PureTrash. Terrible experience on an unmoderated app filled with scams/bots/fakes: The most glitchy garbage with zero moderation. They want you to pay $50 a year & they don't even have a functioning app! Pure scams all these different apps that get created. They have an incentive to be terrible, too. If they were actually good, you wouldn't need to use them that much or that often. Forgot 2 mention: blocks u when u have an incorrect picture, still asks for $?!? LMAO
Possibly the worst UX ever? If you actively tried to design an app that frustrates the user, then you still couldn't exceed this one. If you really want to experience mental illness, check out the personals!
doesn't work
Can't send pics anymore. The app doesn't allow it
don't pay for their premium service,the minimum you can pay for is 3 months they will deactivate your account after a week and their support team won't respond if you complai,they will only respond if you contact they to guide you on how to make paymethappen to me,I paid and they deactivate my account after a week they need to fix bugs I message someone and after clicking send the message automatically goes to another person I'm not supposed to send that particular message to it's very annoying
fake dating profiles. not a single one I've encountered was a real profile. do not pay for this like i did.
Can't log in. Uninstalled
Locanto is becoming greedy day by day. demanding money for every thing For advertising money, for premium money it was fine till this and now demanding money for displaying number and website that too very expensive if we can't display number in the advertisement why should we pay to advertisement... Locanto should be banned from app store and playstore itself
why so much money taken???? it is very wrong. suddenly all charges very high.
very worst it dosen't process debit or credit card for payments just like the website, even after multiple support ticket raised they just give a template answer and not solving the problem from their side
sucks
most worst app I've ever used. navigation is beyond a joke, every time open a ad , after reading page try go back one step and it throws u right back to the beginning , choosing what looking for and in what area . also add photos option doesn't work, which explains why 95% of ads don't have any photos and the 5% that do are probably idiots who actually decided pay premium. free version doesn't even do what free version claims it will so I doubt premium will too.
this app has only scams
bloody usless you have all my details and you still keep asking dumb questions
how to change the country
I think the site and the app are currently stuck in the process of browser verification, it was working nice before
No se puede crear una nueva cuenta. Adelante.
can't upload pictures
full of scammers
The only reason i have this app is because i'm sick of the nag at the top part of my browser. Sure, you can aim for the little x to close it, but it comes back and once again you get a banner robbing the screen of real estate. The app is utterly pointless and has less functionality than viewed in a browser. The pile of junk called internet is dying in a sea of ads and ruined integrity from greed and thieves. Then you get apps like this that someone paid a person to do and for what? To be less?
know this app is paid no use .
Too many bots
ads disappear for no reason. paid over $100 and still can't reply to messages or post ads. service desk was no help. waste of time and money.
Don't even use this app! I'm warning you all!This app is filled with alot scammer! save your money and your life!
please stop using the human verification, i can't even get in the app now due to it
More scams than actual advertisements. This place was a decent place to look around, but now for every real post there is atleast 20 spam/scam posts.
doesn't work!
can't long in deleted the app reload it same problem just a waste of time
usless
even though my location is set to Oregon it keeps posting my ad to Pasadena California
The percentage increase to buy Premium is a 170.73% increase over last years price. For that you get a buggy product that doesn't list 100% of products for sale, or they go missing. 'Support' may take weeks to reply to issues. You say your increase is to buy better tools. You don't put the cost of making your product better onto the consumer, you make a better product then charge accordingly. Your business model is flawed, your greed and lack of development reflects your poor product rating.
It's a good idea for a app, but the app is constantly buggy, and now yearly Premium has jumped from $57.40 too $155.40au... no fn way!
