Glorified gambling app. Avoid.
just stop 🛑 sending usuallsess emails. ok
not sure what to think yet until I get my purchases
With the new update, I can no longer see my pending review items, I am no longer taken from room to room with raids, and cannot go to someone's profile from a room and click on a live show for it to open. Thos is not just me either. I would think that this should be a priority to get it fixed as this could adversely affect sales for sellers all over the app and in turn affect whatnot's bottom line.
app only cares about sellers. use ebay or anything else because it is trash. the streamer trupullz is a scam please don't waste your time and block him.
garbage
Doesn't support voip or landline phone numbers.
very bad app , i downloaded this app and referred it to some friends around me and when i tried to payout the rewards they banned me and said that you are a fraud and broke the terms , i read the entire terms i saw nothing that i broke , so i will tell all my friends to delete this scam.
i would pick 0 stars if possible it sucks
honestly I dont care about these adds they keep making my music stop and it is so annoying when I try to click the to go back to my game it sends me straight to play store
So far, right now, I'm very angry. Jewelry is damaged, no response from the seller the will remove a seller you bought from because of shady behavior and not inform you that the items purchased from scam store might not becoming I'm actually pissed off.... because the ppl that are doing us right still don't feel good or safe at this point 😕 oh oh let me not forget the hoops I'm jumping through to get my referral credits super irritating ish
scamming website everything I bought was either fake or it's in bad condition so plz don't get this app you will be scammed
If you are planning on trying to buy pokemon, dont. Save your time & money. These so-called "pokemon auctions" are nothing but hype scams driven by fomo. Don't support these disgusting stains of society, which is the pokemon scalper. lastly, shame on whatnot for allowing this to continue. #Gatekeeppokemon #Fscalpers
unreliable and inaccurate info with its prices and info it generates for u...I scanned the same coin 3 times and got 3 very different prices and info on it...fishy and suspicious if u ask me .. just sayn !
That didn't last long...... I was really looking forward to checking out the items on this app. But as soon as I got to the screen where it forces me to enable notifications it all ended. The app doesn't even offer another option, you either enable it or you don't get access to the app. I know that I can go into my settings later and disable it but the thought is that if they're going to force me to do this then what's next? Where and when will it end? Correct answer: Here and now. UNINSTALLED
terrible way to get addicted to spending money you don't have!!!
Waste Of Time: I'm not into wasting time waiting for sellers to auction 15 purses only to find that they have nothing I'm interested in. Find a way to list your items. Accept or reject an offer and let people move on.
can't upload image for customer support issue
please fix raids aren't working
been scammed and whatnot havent helped much so i presum ive lostmy money, dont buy from sellers who hide there faces they cant be trusted
You need to allow people not to receive notifications, this should not be mandatory to use your application.
this app is a scam. bid for an ipad. they sent a charger. got a ticket in they took for ever to answer thru email, I never got an email. Basically all on this is a scam. Don't use this.
Requires location and mobile or land-line phone number just to create an account. No go, full stop. Uninstalled.
UPDATE FAILURE!! RAIDS ARE LEAVING ENTIRE ROOMS BEHIND!!! Only other issue I have with the app is that it doesn't let me edit my shows. Apparently it's because I'm not using an apple device? Same issue on the website when using my phone. Can't edit. I have to do it from a laptop or desktop. Kinda bunk. Overall though, great app!
Had a lack of response from a vendor here.

You should be able to comment and talk in chat that the prices dont make sense without being blocked. Whatnot just protects the buyers cause thats how they get their money. "Protect the rip off"
This app used to be so cool. There were awesome sellers, decent prices, great games and comics, and good givvys. What makes this app garbage now is the sheer amount of sellers hawking junk from Amazon return pallets. It is like 90% of the app now. I watched one just to see, and the guy kept going, "last one chat! Get that price up!" Then sold 12 more of the same item. There are still some good sellers, and a great watch seller, but the street vendor vibes are real with the trash palets. Boo.
goes to fast to bid
