Blackberry users and Craigslist lovers rejoice! Now, your Blackberry smartphone can have the Craigslist application. The Craigslist application is called Craigslist Mobile and was created by Movela, the same makers for the Netflix Queue Manager. The Craigslist Mobile application makes you feel like you’re browsing Craigslist with a PC via your Blackberry phone. All the basic features on the full site are there and you can browse through site listings and make a reply easily thanks to their UI or their Intuitive user Interface.
For Blackberry users with the Movela Netflix Queue Manager application, for sure you won’t find it hard to recognize the new Criagslist Mobile UI application as they are quite similar to the Netflix application too. Their One-click access makes it easier to browse through all the Craigslist listings that you want to check whether it’s for housing, for sale, jobs, community and others. You can even swap between cities listings too and it’s really easy to use.
If you want to post a new listing on the Craigslist website, you will be directed to the Craigslist mobile site where you are required to log in to your account. That is still being worked on and the Craigslist application can’t let you post new listings yet but the redirecting to the Craigslist mobile site is not a bad alternative. This new Craigslist application still waits for the RIM approval and when it gets approved, it can be available for the market and may be priced at $4.99.
Now you can keep yourself updated even when you’re not always in front of your PC. Yes, now you can get an SMS alert from Pingie. It will send you a text message whenever there is a new item that shows up on Craigslist with your search results.
It’s like this. If you search for Craigslist with the term “shoes” and you use Pingie then every time there is a new item for “shoes” then you will get a text message that tells you about the new item.
It’s a great idea but it’s not for everyone as it can get irritating to some to constantly get a text message about the new items on Craigslist but of course, it’s great for those who are serious about being the first to learn about the new posts.
If you are addicted to browsing ads on Craigslist and you own an iPhone or iPod Touch then you’d love this new
application called Craigsphone. Craigsphone just makes it easier for you to browse through the Craigslist ads and is much more convenient than browsing Craigslist through mobile Safari. Sure it’s still Craigslist but having the Craigsphone application just makes it easier and save you time.
When you open the Craigsphone application, you’d see a list of ad categories and just by tapping the row would let you view the listings on that category and when you tap the blue arrow button, you would immediately find the subcategories under that category. For example, if you tap on the row for housing then you’ll find the list of ads under housing but when you tap the blue arrow button that is just beside the name housing then you’ll find the subcategories such as rentals, for sale, apartments, condo, etc. so you can narrow down your search.
Not only can you browse ads on Craigslist through your iPhone but you can post your ads there too. You can even upload photos to your ads as well, just like how you can do it if you are using your personal computer.
