OLX 17.08.005

OLX is a downloadable file that opens up a world of free classified ads. Whether you're looking to declutter your space, find a bargain, or simply browse, OLX provides a convenient platform to connect buyers and sellers. Similar to classified ads in newspapers, this app allows users to easily list their own items for sale or browse through a wide range of goods.

Available on multiple platforms, the Windows Store version of OLX is particularly strong, seamlessly integrating with the tiled theme of Windows Metro. With OLX, users can access classified ads listings in various cities, offering a system similar to popular platforms like eBay or Gumtree. Each ad includes a description, relevant photos, price, location, and category for easy searching. Users can even compare locations to their map app with a simple click. The best part is that posting an ad on OLX is completely free, making it an ideal choice for sellers on the go. Additionally, users can easily import photos of their items for sale from their device's camera, whether it's a tablet or mobile phone. From antiques to television sets, OLX has listings for just about everything.

OLX stands out for its user-friendly interface. Within minutes, users can snap a photo, add a description and category data, and have their item up for sale. The app features a clear and intuitive layout, utilizing the Windows Metro style of tiles and columns. The large, color-coded buttons are easy to find and visually appealing. While some users may miss the artistic layouts of other apps, OLX prioritizes ease of use. For instance, when selecting a category, users are presented with a set of clear tiles for jobs, general sales, classes, vehicles, services, real estate, and community. If more specificity is needed, a drop-down menu of subcategories is available. Managing ads and purchases is also simple, with all actions taking place in the 'My' section of the app. Here, users can access their mailbox, view favorited items, and see a list of their ads. The app is optimized to work in landscape mode and everything is easy to find.

When you're looking to post a classified ad for free or explore options beyond eBay, OLX is an excellent starting point. While the community may be smaller compared to other advertising apps, this can often lead to discovering hidden gems. OLX allows users to manage ads, contact buyers, and reply within the app, making it straightforward and suitable for all levels of tech-savviness.
