It's reasonably beyond doubt that mobile is where most people will access information online - including classifieds. I understand Craigslist was founded on the desktop web however my question is; why do they still not have a native app for mobile? Is this due to resource, or perhaps a business or philosophical choice?<p>Ebay appear to have revived their marketplace businesses with Ebay.com, Gumtree etc on mobile. Personally in regards to ecommerce, I much prefer mobile to the desktop experience.
I don't know why, and the third party apps (at least the Android ones) have a track record of shady doings (revoking upgrades, creating new "premium" editions atop existing ones to force repayment, etc)<p>I always figured it was due to the site being simple enough to make work well on mobile.
