OLX India has been doing pretty nice job by capturing the less-known segment in Indian market. They are one of the most popular and leading free online classified networks who are probably making good money out of it. The android dedicated app about OLX Classifieds for Android has just been released in Google Play store and to my knowledge it has successfully replaced all of its features that you can find on the normal website.
If you look at the website olx.in, you’ll see a well-maintained segment with neat categories and user friendly layout. This was perhaps missing in Android for months. However, the arrival of dedicated app for android has filled the gap between desktop website and mobile interface.
Let’s take a look at the features that are offered by the OLX app for Android.
Everything at One Place
As soon as you download and install the OLX app for android, you’ll be greeted with the one tiny search box and tiled layout with different categories. You’ll find categories such as mobile phone, vehicles, jobs, services, real estates, home/lifestyle and electronics.
The search area can be used to find the advertisements near to your locations.
Location
As I said earlier, the app is using your physical location to serve the advertisements from the areas that are near to you. On the very first screen, you’ll see the name of the city you live in. As soon as you put up any query or item name in search box and hit the enter button, you’ll see results and filters that you can apply on them.
Add, Edit and Reply to Ads
The OLX app for Android lets you add your own advertisements. All you’ve to do is grab the phone, take out some beautiful pictures of the item that you’re selling and fill the title description area. Make sure that you’re putting all information that is available with you. This will help buyer to make the decision.
In addition to this, you can even reply to the ads by clicking the simple reply button.
What’s around me?
The “Around Me” section on this app is as similar as the one that can be found on iPhone’s app. You can easily view the ads from the location near to you. The map view here gives a pretty cool overview of these ads.
Not to mention, you can edit and change the category from the left top button.
