If you are a Craigslist user in search of a better method of accessing the site, the good folks from Movela and Pyxis mobile have just the application for you. Craigslist mobile is a new application set to launch in BlackBerry App World any day now as it's just waiting approval.

Craigslist mobile is a full featured client application which allows users to browse and search all of Craigslist as well as bookmark, and reply to posts and much more. Users need not worry about being limited to where they may be able to search as all countries and even categories are supported by the app. We'll keep ya updated on availability, but pricing is going to be a one time payment of $4.99.

I'm not a fan of having to pay 5 bucks for it, but I'm sure I'll still pick it up.

Posted by cwinebrenner Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 824 days ago

Sucks that it is not a free app.

Posted by Mastermind3roc Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 824 days ago

Yeah, but think of all the ridiculous savings! It's well worth the $4.99.

Posted by Mastermind3roc Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 824 days ago

I can't wait to get my hands on this app...!

Posted by DonnyG2 Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 824 days ago

Free or not, this is heaven sent.

I don't really agree with the pricing but I'll get it anyway seeing as I get really good deals with it. I can't wait!

Posted by johnnymac Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 824 days ago

I'm guessing there's already an iPhone app for this - anyone know how much it is? (I'd guess it's either free or 99 cents. Anyone)

Yes I could look, but I'm also trying make a point by posting this.

Posted by hudss Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 824 days ago

and your point is? you're cheap?

Posted by berry26lover Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 824 days ago

Well well! Look who's here, HUDSS - the man who sharing illegall stuff on pda4x.com! Which stuff? Themes from HedoneDesign, Elecite and others, also applications and games! Already posted couple hundreds of themes/games/app's, and he is proud of this!!!

@ CrackBerry and theme creators: he just wait for some freebies or giveaways, then all this stuff upload to pda4x.com!

Posted by blacktoothberry Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 823 days ago

I dont know either of you but this is America this is done everywhere ticket agencies jacking up event prices people buying cell phones on buy one get one and selling it on ebay for the retail price. This goes on all the time. If you don't like charge for the themes

Posted by HonestySpeaks Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 823 days ago

Why be a dumba** and post a link to his site which only further promotes what he does and gives him more traffic? Way to 'really' bring attention to the issue LMAO idiot.

Posted by hudss Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 823 days ago

You forgot to mention how I pimp your mother berry26..no one bitches about that and she is not even that good.

Posted by berry26lover Thursday, Nov 12, 2009 823 days ago

LOL!!! As usual you are ONLY strong in such words, its you're defence for attack! Sucker!

Posted by lobbyintx Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 824 days ago

The app will be good I'm sure but I can browse CL fine from my tour now. My 8830 didn't cooperate. Don't know how useful the app will be.

Posted by Dragondima Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 824 days ago

NO! I was developing a Craigslist App, what started as a joke, has consumed many hours! I have to say that this does look well constructed. $4.99 is a pretty big price tag, but I'm sure there will be specials that make it less expensive.

Posted by FNETHAN Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 824 days ago

Its super easy to browse CL and reply to the postings address by simply clicking it and emailing them. Its a nice app but 4.99 isnt worth it since my BB surfs craigslist just fine...

Posted by devGOD Thursday, Nov 12, 2009 823 days ago

very true. CL is text based and the bb browser works just fine with no problems.

Posted by Jo_795 Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 824 days ago

lol so we can pick up hookers even easier on CL now?

Posted by TallyHo Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 824 days ago

They should name the app HookerBerry lol

Posted by webmastir Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 824 days ago

will definitely not be buying this. will just browse to it FOR FREE with my web browser.

Posted by agough05 Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 824 days ago

That is worthless, there is no way I am paying $5 to get an app that'll probably leak memory anyway to see a service that is free and easily viewable on my phone in the first place.

Posted by ejc1214 Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 824 days ago

Why pay for an app for a site that can be browsed very easily on the Storm? I do it all the time and I don't need a 5 dollar app for it. I guess they figure there is going to be a few suckers that will go for it!

Posted by graymulligan Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 824 days ago

I understand if the app gave you functionality that you simply didn't have using the browser, but craigslist works just fine in the BB browser, and exceptionally well in Opera. I can't see throwing 5 bucks on an application that is essentially a convenience application. For a buck or two, I could see it, but convenience apps shouldn't cost the same as applications that allow your blackberry to do things that it can't do with the browser.

(hope that mini-rant makes sense)

Posted by slarph Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 823 days ago

and we do have features not available in the browser. see my post below.

Posted by StraightWisdom Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 824 days ago

I'm gonna love this

Posted by Res215dg Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 824 days ago

You spend more than that picking up a #1 from Mc
donalds....Really I'll definately be picking this up- if it makes browsing CL easier and faster- it's worth the money in the long run, especially for heavy CL users. I'm a fan of Movela's previos App for Netflix so if quality wise it's anything close to that I'll be happy

Posted by webmastir Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 823 days ago

it's free for iphone. why the f. should we pay?

Posted by pkn068 Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 824 days ago

No way I'm going to pay for something when I get the original free. People taking advantage of a free service to make a buck isn't all that unexpected in America I guess.

Posted by slarph Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 823 days ago

Network television is free. You pay for cable to make it more usable where you need it most. :)

Posted by pkn068 Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 823 days ago

But I get value from paying for cable. I get more channels that are not available. This app is adding nothing except a middleman. I'm sure you can come up with something better than that poor example! :)

Posted by upioneer Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 824 days ago

couldnt you just shoot over to YOURCITY.craigslist.org on ur bb browser?

Posted by MuDvAyNe Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 824 days ago

Their Netflix app was sub-par. I can only imagine how this one will be.

Posted by li2327 Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 824 days ago

Looks like a very cool app. Can't wait to check it out.

Posted by angelm1249 Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 824 days ago

I absolutely love Craiglist and I've bought plenty of things from there. But I must say $4.99 for a site that u can already access from your phone's browser for free seems a little steep to me...IDK about that one, lol

Posted by UPSTREAMMIAMI Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 824 days ago

no thanks 5 bucks lol this blackberry app developers are to funny

Posted by white water Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 824 days ago

I would never pay for this, Craigslist works fine for me.

Posted by blacktoothberry Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 824 days ago

your a Fu@king dumb ass for charging 4.99 if I want craigskist I will save it in my favorites and go from there

Posted by slarph Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 823 days ago

"You're a Fu@king dumbass"

add period after 4.99

"If I want craigslist"

close with period.

Posted by webmastir Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 823 days ago

idiots would pay for this. it's free for the iphone

Posted by graphic nature Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 823 days ago

I don't understand why these Blackberry Apps. cost so much! Really $4.99 .... REALLY! I will just use my PC or my iTouch. BB Developers are greedy

Posted by slarph Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 823 days ago

In the next release of craigslist mobile, users will be able to post ads DIRECTLY FROM THEIR MOBILE DEVICE. This is a feature you will find in NO OTHER craigslist app regardless of device platform.

Take a picture from your BlackBerry of say, your car, boat, or Christmas tree farm, add your text, and click submit, and you're selling. without ever touching your PC.

Oh, and also, not to be mundane, but we are a real company, and real companies require revenue in order to operate. We'd love to give the app away for free, but then there would be no one to host the app, maintain the app, or enhance the app.

Thanks to those that ARE planning to download the app. We have great plans for future releases, and because of our agreement with craigslist, we are able to do some pretty cool stuff that others aren't allowed to do.

Posted by ..Fredo Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 823 days ago

Nice app. I'll be putting it to use. Don't stress the haters. Keep doing what you do. Be easy.

Posted by pkn068 Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 823 days ago

The next release?!?! You should think about getting it refined and THEN charging 5 bucks. A much better marketing idea would be to offer the lame version you have now for free. Get people used to using it, add the new functionality, and THEN charge for it.

The economy is tight. If you plan on being around as a "real" company you better put your thinking caps on. :)

Posted by leveejy Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 823 days ago

Looks like an awesome application. the craigslist website is TERRIBLE on a mobile device so anything that makes it easier to use craigslist is cool in my book. I have a friend who had a chance to beta test the new version of the Movela Netflix app and the UI in this looks to be in line with that than their original Netflix application, which is a huge plus. I can't wait to try it out!

Posted by jakub_w Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 823 days ago

You could post things for sale from within the app! Otherwise it should be completely free, I'm quite content with the website on my storm.

Also need a Kijiji app!
