For all our UK readers:

Gumtree.com,  the UK classifieds website, has released new improvements to its Android App. The updated app offers a better user experience for tablet users and a variety of new features across all devices.  The app is now fully responsive to a user’s screen size.

The new update also allows users to customize their searched ads to display prominent details such as images, item details, description, seller and length of time with Gumtree; improving user interface and confidence in the seller.

Other features that have been optimized for the customer in the new 1.67.1 version include:

  • Eye-catching gallery view of search results making it easier to browse items in key categories like Motors and For Sale
  • Split screen view of search results on tablet devices in landscape making it quicker and easier to browse items on the left and see the ad details on the right of the screen
  • Ability to customize the latest ads section to their favorite category

Polly Howden, Mobile Product Manager at Gumtree.com says: “Tablet users value a simple and seamless experience when they are using their apps. With over 2.4 million downloads of our Android app, we’ve focused on improving the look and feel of our app as well as empowering the user to decide how they choose to see their searched ads. We have a heritage of being one of the best apps in the Google Play Store and we’ll continue to listen to our customers and give them the features they want to have a successful customer experience on Gumtree.”
