Summary

The app receives overwhelmingly negative feedback, largely driven by critical issues with login and two-factor authentication that frequently prevent users from accessing their accounts. Many users also strongly criticize the platform's excessively high fees and commissions, which have increased over time and deter sellers. Additionally, the app is plagued by performance bugs, a perceived outdated interface, and a lack of support for older iOS versions (e.g., iOS 15, or devices unable to update to 16.0), leaving many existing users unable to update or use the app, while customer service is frequently described as unhelpful in resolving these and other problems like dealing with scammers.
