Free online marketplace
Locanto is a free online marketplace app to post classified ads. The application is a useful tool to buy or sell items. With the profile page feature, you can set up the account to display a business or yourself.
Posting an ad on Locanto is easy and similar to OLX, eBay, or Gumtree apps. Once you find an item you’d like to buy, sending a message within the app is quick and simple to reach the seller. There’s no delay with chats as they are live between users.
Free to use
Locanto is free to use for any purpose of selling, buying, finding a new friend, job hunting, and any other listed service. The application has hundreds of categories to browse when purchasing items, and connects you directly to the seller through the app.
Business or personal
Locanto is a great application for both personal or business usage. Whether you’re making a business profile to sell your crafts or looking for a friend. On your profile, you can set a business logo or picture to represent yourself in the Locanto community.
Additionally, aside from simply buying or selling items, the app serves many other purposes. For example, you can use the service to quickly look for classifieds of potential friends or jobs.
Live chat
The in-app live chat offers a direct way to talk with other users. This method has no delay and will send a notification to the other.
Send to social media
Once you post an ad you can immediately share it on social media. Sharing the listing increases the number of people who see it and hopefully helps you find a buyer.
Our take
Locanto is a useful application that functions as a more local version of eBay and other online marketplaces. The app uses a well-designed interface that’s easy to navigate as you search for items. The app isn't limited to only buyers and sellers as you can find jobs, friends, and more on the application.
Should you download it?
Yes. If you’re looking to explore online markets or sell an item, this app is a great place to start.
