Trove Marketplace: Buy & Sell Local Used Furniture & Home Decor, and Resell Second Hand Stuff in Your Community.

Before I begin this review I wanted to note that both the design and the concept for this app are quite good (and are what attracted me to the app in the first place). However once you start using the app you notice that A. Literally and I mean litterally no one actually buys anything. B. YOU CANNOT DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT, that’s write an account THAT FORCES YOU TO GIVE IT YOUR LOCATION CANNOT BE DELETED. Even if you delete the app the account is still there. I emailed the support team 2 WEEKS AGO and there has been NO RESPONSE, YOU CANNOT REMOVE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION EVEN IF YOU WANT TO. More importantly Trove is an utterly ineffective way to sell furniture, after browsing the entire app NOT ONE FURNITURE ITEM ON THE ENTIRE APP WAS “LIKED”. THIS APP HAS NO USERBASE OF BUYERS, ONLY SELLERS. 0/10 just use Craigslist

Since using the app to sell I’ve been contacted by sketchy people asking for address and personal info to “mail” payments. Or make an offer with supposed guaranteed payment but the offer is pulled back before able to see it. They never respond to msg so it seems like fishing. Same person will contact again days later with same thing. There in no way to report problem users. The notifications from the app about a msg comes hours later like middle of night early morning. The app will automatically delete your ad after a week or two. Offers may come in but won’t be ever able to received because item was delisted by app.

The app is just great. It actually helped me find very cool stores I didn’t know about but the location filter is not working as it should be. There must be a minimum and maximum range for the nearby location. I’d certainly give it 5 stars if that feature is incorporated.
