Craigphone is an app that lets you browse, search and post on Craigslist as you would in a browser.  This is by far the best of it's kind. It's interface is extremely similar to the online one we are all used to and I had no problems navigating it. It features four different tabs on the bottom to manage. The browse tab allows the user to browse through the different categories available on Craigslist. The post tab allows for easy posting to Craigslist with all the standard options available. Also, there is an interesting tab available called the "featured" tab. This tab offers a "nearby" browse feature allowing the user to browse posts in nearby locations. This currently only works for the San Francisco Bay area rendering the feature useless for the majority of users.

Perhaps the most useful tool available in this app is the ability to bookmark a post for later viewing. This is extremely useful for those looking at apartments or tracking a specific item. From a bookmark you can view a post again or email the link to someone else. Overall this app is an almost perfect implementation of the already great Craigslist. If the designers can resolve the "nearby" feature and get it available to most locations in the US, we may have the best buying and selling tool available right on our phone. The best part of all of this is the fact that just like it's source, Craigsphone is offered free. There really is no reason why anyone familiar with Craigslist wouldn't check this app out. It has been extremely useful and has found it's place on my device for good. Check it out today.

Program totally sucks

Worthless app.  All this does is block content.  And if you want to change that it says the feature was locked so you can't.  Why would you even want this program when you can just go to Craigslist on Safari where everything displays just fine?????

As the developer of craigsphone just wanted to clarify that craigsphone does not block access to mature content anymore. It used to block content due to Apple\'s restrictions. Once those restrictions were lifted, we stopped blocking. It was never our choice to do so and the Android version of craigsphone has never blocked mature content.
