Search wasn't working for me. I was looking for online trades in a different location. I reported the issue, and got an immediate response from the dev. After some investigation, he explained to me I'm probably getting blocked. He mentioned he is working on a new version that might address my issue. In the matter of a couple of days there was a new version where location wasn't necessary to search for online trades. I still have to explore all the features, but I already like what I see :-).

The app is very good. My only problem with is is that the edit ad screen removes my days of the week and times I am available to trade. I trade in a different timezone I live in, so it is annoyingly being awaken at 4am for trading.

UPDATE. No, it still FCs anytime I try to enter a legitimate amount of bitcoins to sell. I created more space (1GB+). I even uninstalled and reinstalled it. Everytime I try to enter the amount of bitcoin I want to sell to a local advertiser, the app Force Closes on me. As such, I cannot use it. KitKat 4.4.2

Actual app interface is quite good, huge improvement over previous interface. I would really prefer that the color and location of the "Send Message" and "Release" buttons were different, I just released a (small) amount of Bitcoin when I intended to send a message, DESPITE having to enter my pin, despite being a seasoned LBC user, and despite using this app for years. I thought that for some reason the app was requiring me to enter my pin to send a message. Fortunately I did get the BTC back, and of course you're free to design your app as you like and it's quite good already, but in my opinion having the release button right below the messages, in the same color, font, and position as the "send message" button on the messages screen, is bad UX. Personally I think messages should be one step on the same screen and release should be a two or three step process that takes you to a separate screen. Thanks for your work on this app!

Just turned out to be what i needed. Nice app, indeed. Only that the release button is soo close to the message part, one may accidentally tap on it and btc will be gone before payment is done. Kindly consider relocating the Release button to a more convenient place.

The ui is a little confusing at first. My main complaint is that the notifications are really delayed in this app. I get an email notification a couple of minutes before this app sends one out. The best part about this app would be to get the notifications and take an action inside the same app. Now it's almost easier to just log in to the computer after I get an email on my phone. Its a really nice idea and I hope this application gets better. Well done.

by M####:

Every time it logs me out, the language for the login page changes. The apps notifications are slow and it would be helpful if a few things were added that are on the site, but not on the app. As a basic means to finish trades, it works well (except for the slow notifications).
