Castanet App Reviews

I use this app primarily for classifieds searches. The back button (hardly visible because it merges with other buttons?) takes you back to the initial classifieds page when all I want to do is go back one page and keep searching. The page has a nice simple look. Just needs to work better. Silly quirks and noises. Back button should be on the bottom while other tabs should stay at the top of the page.. (My first world problem haha)

This app is well designed, intuitive, incredibly easy to use, and convenient. I think its the best way of getting local news! I particularly like the ease of updating/using the classified section.

Where did they go???? Use to be able to look at all current ones in a group. Is this coming back or can I just not find it????? Thx KB

Very nice site. But could use some changes. Should be able to save favorite classifieds when looking through them.

This provides local and usually reliable stories faster than anything else. The grammar is often amateurish and leads to unclear meanings. Locations are often left out which leads to confusion. If youre a writer, you should know how to write.

Very nice over-all. Especially like that it contains news items from throughout the Valley and includes some from Kamloops.

Really like the app but would like a bit more Kamloops news. I know it is hard to cover everything, but we are just down the valley from Vernon. Would get a 5 star if I read a bit more about our city.

Needs an easy way to comment on stories. This will make it a truly interactive medium. A news outlet for the people of Kelowna.

Very well done!

I like Castanet classifieds but the app is somewhat limiting as to contacting seller and viewing multiple ads from the same seller. I prefer to use the website for the classifieds.

App needs to be redesigned using a GUI that is based on iOS themes and using a graphical designer. It looks low budget and low quality and glitchy.

Its getting there, but a long way to go before it is as functional as it could be. Looking forward to future updates.

I have always used Castanet.net begrudgingly. I dont like your URL. I think a rebrand is necessary. I thing your design and navigation is clumsy and mid-1990 inspired. Think clean and crisp on the next round and Ill be impressed.

This is the best option for local news. But, the design and stability of the app leave a lot to be desired.

While the app works well, and does what it is supposed to, it feels outdated. After the last version I had hoped it would be more functional and allow you to easily comment on posts, or share them. Additionally it seems that when it was designed eyesight was not taken into consideration. The style of the buttons, links etc are quite outdated. A lesson from other news apps applies here "you can do more with less". Having said that the app works, feels outdated but works.

Lots of fun and easy to use.

Worst app... Trying to find something is impossible. Every time you try to look at something and then go back it brings you straight back to the top and then you have to scroll back down. Trying to message a seller is a hassle, it tells me to either retry or press ok and will not let me message. There is no "save to wishlist" button either, pointless app.

Keeps me in touch when I am on the road.

Might as well use your browser. This app is horrible.

This app is so much faster on my phone than the full browser version. Stories, classifieds, videos; all come up very quickly. Intuitive design. I like it - good work!
