CraigsPro Review for iPhone and iPod Touch

If you’re one of those online shopaholics who simply can’t get enough of surfing the Craigslist website, there’s an app for that. CraigsPro for the iPhone and iPod Touch allows you to essentially browse and post to the popular site much quicker than using the browser.

Review
In order to get started, you must first limit the area of your search. From the Cities button at the bottom of your screen, you can choose the areas to search. Then you can go to the Options tab to filter for certain conditions such as sale price, rental rate, job category, and so forth. Just like the regular Craiglist itself, you can also browse categories such as Jobs, For Sale, Personals and many others. The only reason for the adult age rating is because of the added Personals section alone.

CraigsPro has buttons across the bottom to store favorites, sort listings by category, and search listings by city (you can add or remove cities to widen or narrow your searches). There also is a post tab where you can choose the category, write your post, and immediately attach pictures from your iPhone camera or select images from your iPhone photo library.

The app’s layout will take a little bit to get used to but once you get the hang of it, it’s simple to use. The searches are handled well and sale prices are listed in the top right hand corner shown in a red box so it’s very easy to see.

Overall, CraigsPro, is better than browsing on the actual site. Search results show up with photos and the first few lines of each posting so it makes it easier to find what you’re looking for without having to open up each listing.

Recommendation
CraigsPro comes recommended. If you want a better way of searching or posting to Craigslist on your iPhone or iPod Touch, the $.99 asking price is worth the investment. It has plenty of features and makes surfing the listings a much more pleasant experience. If you want to save your money and don’t mind all the advertising, a CraigsPro Free version is also available for download on the iTunes App Store.
