Developed by Mother Tucker, LLC, Craigly is an outstanding Craigslist application that not only allows to you access Craigslist from your iPhone or iPod Touch but it in fact makes it better that using the site on your PC, this app is jam packed with helpful, and very useful options to make it easy to search Craigslist.

Review

Since I began to review Craigly I have used it every single day, prior to having Craigly on my iPhone I would check Craigslist a few times a week, now I am able to check it daily quickly and efficiently. Not only does this app have some outstanding features that make it the best Craigslist app on the market but I now prefer Craigly over going to the Craigslist site. One thing I never liked about Craigslist was the fact that in order to see the photo of the item for sale you have to click on the link to the listing, with Craigly on your phone that is no more you can browse with just the titles, titles and photos or just photos and better yet you can do it in regular and landscape mode.

With this app you can access everything you can on the site. Posting an add is another instance that I prefer the app to the site, with your iPhone you can post quicker that you ever could using the site and your PC. Some of the features included in this app are; post with images, favorites tracking, saved searches (this is a great feature), search multiple locations and categories simultaneously. Four different ways to view results; thumbnails for image previews and title text, full-screen, map for google map of postings with a user specified location, List for a text-only view. Another feature I rather enjoyed was the auto nearby location detection, you just search without specifying any locations and it will search add near your current location. If you enjoy going to garage sales this app will be your savor!

With so many features that are better than Craigslist this app has made Craigslist better, I have no reason to ever get on the PC and search Craigslist because as I said above with this wonderful app it makes your browsing and posting so much quicker and easier. If you use Craigslist you will love this app.

Recommendation

Craigly is currently $0.99 in the app store and comes highly recommend to anyone who ever uses Craigslist you will be glad you purchased this app after the first time you use it. I had a few things lying around the house that I wanted to sell but just haven’t had the time with this app I was able to quickly list and sell those items. There is also a lite version available but I recommend just purchasing the app and don’t bother with the lite, this app is that good.
