I finally uninstalled it today. It's been a waste of time for well over a year. I started using 5mikes in 2016, and it was similar to other buy and sell apps. Then something changed a few years ago and just got worse. The notifications from the app and by email do not work. The messaging system does not work. The listing insights do not work. View counts are consistently zero on every listing. Uploading listings do not work properly and show an error the first attempt and then can't be seen.

I like this app, because it is simple, straight forward and people are usually really close by. I wouod put 5 stars, but I dislike the change to only being able to boost your items in the news feed a total of four times. I see how they wouldn't prefer it to be flooded constantly, by the same people, but maybe another idea wouold be to limit the amount of items at a time, we can boost, rather than the amount of times so low. Its only four hours each time...otherwise...its great. : )

in my opinion this is probably the best or at least one of the very top "garage sale apps". Where you buy and sell with people in your area. This one just has better chat features, it's more user-friendly prices are on the very first picture you see. it's not really easy to accidentally send a message like it is and some other of these types of apps! all of your messaging is separated into buy category and sell category. it's just more convenient than the other ones like this.

The listing/post appeared exactly as intended, and I am very pleased with the ease of negotiating/navigating this app. And, on a separate issue, a manufacturer defect (in an item that I purchased on Deal Dash) in an item resulted in a little frustration. However, once I spoke with the proper person at 5Miles, the purchase price was refunded. Great folks. Thank you!!

It is somewhat as described, but under free: lots of ads and scam, and do not bother reporting it because they're not going to do anything about it. The deal dash has screwed me, order an item and requested a refund after a week and a half over its due date, and denied me saying give it more time, here we are 2 weeks 2 days later and still nothing. Good luck

I used the app for 2 successful purchases. 1 I cancelled before delivery because it was too small. Buyer protection is a joke. I also have a few things for sale, got an offer for one of my posts and person never answered back after I agreed to the offer. People 'follow' you but don't have things posted for sale. Some men on there are just looking to meet women not truly looking to buy what's up for sale. It's very strange and now I no longer use the app.
