Although Craigslist has been around since 1995, the popular classifieds website is just now getting a mobile app.
Apple’s App Store has been around for 11 years, but the first official Craigslist app just became available to iOS users on Tuesday, December 3rd. The app reflects the simple and minimalist design of the website and has already climbed to the 10th place app in the “shopping” category in the App Store.
The description of the app reads almost like a real Craigslist ad:
craigslist – The original online classifieds. Founded in 1995.
Find jobs. Hire employees. Post your resume. Offer your skills/services.
Buy and sell cars, trucks, boats, campers, motorcycles, trailers, auto parts.
Offer your services, find performers, find short-term gigs and casual jobs.
Buy and sell furniture, household items, electronics, computers, clothing, bikes, art, anything and everything used.
Activity partners, artists and musicians, pets for re-homing, local events.
Save your favorite posts for later, save searches, set search alerts.
Publish, edit, renew your own ads.
The app’s description also says it’s for ages 12 and up, which is probably appropriate considering some of the posts people make on the site, especially in the “missed links” section of the site.
Even so, the Craigslist app has a 4.6-star review out of 79 reviews so far, and since it only debuted on Tuesday, those are good numbers. For those trying to find an apartment, a weekend gig, or trying to sell that old coffee table, you can now do it all from the convenience of your phone. Mobile or not, you should still be aware that buying anything online from an individual without seeing them puts you at risk of fraud, so be careful about buying too far into the new mobile app.
The Android version of the Craigslist app is currently in beta testing. Digital Trends has reached out to Craigslist to find out when the Android app will become publicly available, and we’ll update this story when we hear back.
And if you’d rather search all of Craigslist at once, there are tools you can use to search the entire state, country, or even the world.
