Need I Say more?

As some of my readers are not from area’s that use CraigsList this is intended for the US readers.
I have two main apps I use for searching CraigsList, someones trash is another mans gold (or just a sweet deal)….
But the main problem with CraigsList is you don’t have time to sit and search.

CraigsNotifia is by far the best Android App for that purpose.
Simply put in your search terms (as many as you want but i’d say stop at 10-12) with price filters and that app will find your item when it shows up and notify you on the spot.

Price -
Free with Ad’s (works amazing and I bet they make more money from the Ad’s)
Donation Version – $9.99 (Same app no Ad’s)
