- [R4] Snagajob Terrible app: How are y’all gonna posts jobs that quite literally don’t exist? People out here struggling and all y’all care about is getting traffic, and pushing jobs people either payed to have on the list, or that flat out aren’t even a thing anymore. If I could rate below one star I would. I don’t know why I keep trying these apps. I’ve NEVER got so much as an email back from any employer I’ve
- [R20] Snagajob Terrible app with fake job descriptions: So I have been using indeed for 4 years and I am actually able to get a job quicker than snagajob because with all of my time using snagajob since 2023 it’s just been fake job postings on there and with nothing refreshed, I highly recommend you don’t use this app EVER AGAIN. It’s just lies and deceit to put you in a trap and to make you feel depressed like
- [R44] Snagajob Same job posted repeatedly: I’m currently looking for jobs and all I seem to see is repetitive jobs from the same company with them just changing the distance to repetitively post for the same job again. Disappointing in my opinion that an app like this lets it slide
- [R62] craigslist This works: Great experience! My car sold quickly for my full asking price. The platform was easy to use, and I connected with serious local buyers. I would definitely recommend Craigslist to anyone selling a vehicle.
- [R1] Snagajob Needs fixing: App doesn’t work for me, it shows nothing when i search and click on closest to me. The screen just stays white
- [R10] Snagajob Won’t stay open: I want to like this app but I haven’t even been able to open it. I click on the app and it immediately takes me back to the Home Screen. Hopefully they have a good website because that’s where I’m headed.
- [R38] Snagajob Doesn’t Work: App does not work at all for me. I have the latest version, no updates. And a newer iPhone. When I type in the positions I am looking for and click next it will not go. And, when I skip and go to just search jobs I get an error message
- [R76] craigslist Easy to use: Fast sale
- [R72] craigslist Problems: Lots of fake listings from scammers. This is a big problem when looking for housing or to buy something. The same housing ads are posted 3-4 times a day, every day for years because they are fake. Why is it every time the app updates I must sign in all over again with my email and password every single time? Why?
- [R87] craigslist Terrible AI auto flagging: Posting on Craigslist has become unbearable. Posts get auto-flagged with no explanation & the crowdsourced support forum is useless. The least the AI moderation could do is say why a post was potentially flagged - but you just have to keep checking the status of a post instead.
- [R84] craigslist Success: I have been using Craigslist for over 10 years. Craigslist has helped me find a place to live / work on many occasions and has also helped me find quality roommates. It has helped me sell / give away things I no longer want/need. I know this app gets a bad rep sometimes but I would say it has had and continues to have a positive influence on my life. lol
- [R3] Snagajob Hi: The app is down
- [R7] Snagajob Resume keeps disappearing from profile: Every job I try to apply for won’t go past the first page. I can’t continue, and I’ve had to upload my resume more than 3 times and every time I open the app and try to apply to a job my resume is gone.
- [R22] Snagajob Horrible: What’s the point of this app if it doesn’t registers Answers to required questions, preventing people from completing applications. Shut down the app, it’s a joke at this point. I’ll stick with Indeed
- [R65] craigslist App works great!: No complaints with this app. It simply works. Appreciate the chat function, which allows us to select a unique notification just for craigslist. though we usually still use the anonymized email relay, the chat in the app is great for fast moving items and coordinating pick ups without giving out our phone number.
