Like a lot of people, I have mixed feelings about Craigslist. It’s like Ikea: in theory, you’d rather patronize mom-and-pop shops or get your stuff elsewhere. But somehow on a rainy Saturday afternoon: there you are.
Craigslist can be a pain to use or search – but if you’re looking for a garage sale, love connection or that elusive floor lamp with a table in it – you end up there.
That’s where app Lifelike Craig HD comes in.
The iPad version, $1.99 on iTunes, looks like a newspaper and lets you circle ads you like and cross out ads you don’t. You can also see a map for each listing and display the images in a gallery. If you’re buying and selling at the same time, you can post ads and manage multiple accounts right from the app.
Next month, developers Lifelike Apps expect to launch a universal edition compatible with iPhone and iPod Touch.
Would you pay for an easier-to-use Craigslist?
