Are you a Craigslist deals hound?
You will love this free app I have found for the bargain hunter in your – Craigsphone.
Craigsphone – craigslist for iPhone is a simple & free iPhone app that brings Craigslist listings to your palm of your hand.
As soon as you load the app, it automatically looks up your location and brings up a Google-sque search box with a category selection – community, events, gigs, housing, jobs, personals, resumes, for sale, services.
The bottom pane also has the Browse, Post, Featured & Account tabs.
Whether you search or browse for listings it is easy to go back and forth between lists and individual posts. I like it that I can bookmark the postings I like to view later.
I can also use the app to create a Craigslist posting right from my iPhone. I can also featured listings and access my account settings.
Here are a few features you can expect to see in this app
- A nice useable mobile UI
- Ability to post images from your camera or gallery
- Maps for housing section
- Nearby postings
- Craigslist forums & blog
- Craigslist best of
- Bookmark a search or a posting
- Access & Manage Craigslist account
I like the ease of use in this elegant and simple iPhone app and might actually make me browse and use Craigslist more. I would love to see the Map view for few more sections other than Housing like Garage Sale, etc.
If this quote from the app description is any indication, this app is going to get even better.
But the best will come when we take the best local site in the world and make it truly local. Stay tuned.
In the meantime, check out Craigsphone free iPhone app from the App Store.
Craigsphone is available for iPhone as well for iPad.
