Craigslist

This application will tell you when new stuff is posted to craigslist. This provides a way you can get the best deals as soon as they are registered.
You will never lose a good opportunity again!
The application is totally free and doesn’t use ads either in current or future versions.
There is no form of monetization associated with this application.
The application does not require registration.


Features


  • Enable the user to create notifications for certain keywords and categories;
  • Allow to have all filtering that craigslist.org has;
  • Has all cities that craigslist.org has;
  • Allow multiple region search and zip code region search;
  • Preferences menu for configuring the location and network options;
  • Mark posts as favorite to read at a later time;
  • The relevant posts are downloaded on the phone, so they can be read later without network;
  • Faster navigation, since relevant posts are downloaded in batch;
Technical details


  • It periodically checks for new posts;
  • In each check it download *only* the updated data, which should be small after the initial download;
  • If no update is available it does not download anything at all. This proves to use less bandwidth than a normal RSS apps, since:
    • Only relevant data is downloaded;
    • It never download duplicated data two times;
    • It’s not like RSS feeds that it’s the phone downloading and pooling the huge feeds every time. The phone only donwload the updated data one and do it just one time.
Bandwidth usage


  • For example, a download of 100 new posts takes 50kb of internet bandwidth.
  • The daily bandwidth will depend on the number of notifications that you are monitoring and the number of times that your notifications get updated.
  • To reduce bandwidth, try to be specific in your notifications.
  • For example: try to use "honda civic" instead of "car"

i'm gonna give it a shot. i currently use craigsphone but i like the way this allows you to set tags for notifications. i'm always looking for new boats/boat parts in my area and this'll really help when i can't get on a computer.
