cPro is a third-party mobile client for Craigslist
The app cPro is a third-party client for the popular online service Craigslist. Craigslist itself makes available a mobile version of its site but no official application for Android that users can turn to.
What sets cPro apart from other applications of its kind is its immense set of features. It enables you for instance to include multiple cities and districts in searches, or browse a photo wall of results only.
When you first start the application you are asked to enter a search term and select at least one city from the list. The app supports all Craigslist locations globally, and you may pick as many as you like from the listing to include in searches.
This alone can be useful if you want to include neighboring cities in your searches among other things.
cPro review
Once you have selected a search term and city or cities, you may change additional parameters. The app searches for items on sale by default, but you can change that in several ways.
First, you can switch from finding everything that is on sale to specific items only. Then, you can select a different type of post instead, for instance housing offers, jobs or personals.
Last but not least, you may use other filtering settings that the app provides. These allow you to set a minimum or maximum price, only include offers with images, or change the default sort order from newest to "low price" or "high price" instead.
Another option provide is to simply browse a category listing without entering a search term. All results are listed by default with image thumbnails, names and the first part of the description.
You can tap on any result to display detailed information about it. This may include a detailed description, additional images, and contact information.
You may switch from list view, the default view mode, to photo row or map browser instead. Photo row displays only thumbnails, titles and locations while map view offers on a map of the selected region.
The searching and browsing is very powerful, but cPro has to offer more than that. Another interesting feature supported by the application is to notify you about new ads. This is done with a tap on the menu icon and selecting "notify of new apps" there.
If you are browsing all items for sale for instance, or search results, you can set up notifications so that you receive word of new ads as soon as they are published to Craigslist.
Other interesting features include favoring listings and adding notes to them, using maps and getting directions, and an "already-seen" indicator that helps you skip listings that you have already taken a look at.
You may also post to Craigslist using the application. This works in under a minute once you get the hang of it (depending on how much you write), and requires an account.
If you sign in to an account -- you can use multiple accounts with the app as it supports that -- you get full account management options that include reposting and editing ads.
Closing Words
CPro is a handy application for Craigslist users who browse the site regularly or at least occasionally. It is without doubt superior to the mobile version of Craigslist thanks to its rich set of features that it makes available.
A premium version is available featuring unlimited favorites, notifiers and saved searches.
Thanks for the tip Martin.
It is for these kinds of posts that I follow GHacks.
What’s up with the generic comment, are you a bot?
2G?
Where on the planet is that still in use? I was forced to give up using my RAZRV3 years ago because 2G was phased out by AT&T.
Everywhere 3G has been turned off and you don’t have LTE coverage, and believe me there are many developed countries where this is the case and if it weren’t for 2G you wouldn’t even be able to make a phone call.
Maybe I missed it, but I don’t believe tha term “2G” is in the article. Perhaps you are referring to “AGM G2”??

Your website has gone insane.
When I the post button I then saw my comment posted on a different article page. When I opened this article again, it is here.

” Your website has gone insane. ”
Same here. Has happened several times.
@Tachy,
@Martin P.,
For over two weeks now,
I’ve been seeing “Comments” posted by subscribers appearing in different, unrelated articles.

For the time being,
it would be better to specify the “article name and URL” at the beginning of the post.
@tachy a lot of non-phone devices with a sim in them rely on 2G, at least here in europe.
Usually things reporting usage or errors/alarms on something remote that does not get day to day inspection in person. They are out there in vast numbers doing important work. Reliable, good range. The low datarate is no problem at all in those cases.
3G is gone or on its last legs everywhere, but this stuff still has too much use to cancel.
Anyhow, interesting that they would put that in. I can see the point if you suspect a hostile 2G environment (amateur eavesdroppers with laptop, ranging up to professional grade MITM fake towers while “strangely” not getting the stronger crypto voip 4G because it is being jammed, and back down to something as old ‘stingray’ devices fallen into the wrong hands).
But does this also mean that they have handled and rolled out a fix for that nasty 4G ‘pwn by broadcast’ problem you reported earlier this year? I had 4G disabled due to that, on the off chance that some of the local criminals would buy some cheap chinese gear, download a working exploit and probe every phone in range all over town in the hope of getting into phones of the police.
>”While most may never be attacked in stingrays, it is still recommended to disable 2G cellular connections, especially since it does not have any downsides.”
The downside would be losing connectivity. I spend a lot of time way out in the countryside where there’s often no service or almost none. My network allows 2G, and I need it sometimes. I have an option on the phone to disable 2G, I may do that when I’m in the city and I have good 5G connectivity, but not out in the country.
I would imagine that the stingray exploits, like most of the bad things in this world, are probably things you will run into in the crowded big cities.
I stopped using it in a mobile (Wi-Fi line) environment, so I’m almost ignorant of the actual situation,
But the recent reality in Japan makes me realize that “the infrastructure of the web is nothing more than a papier-mâché fiction”.

It is already beyond the scope of what an individual can do.
What we should be aware of is the reality that “governments and those in power want to control the world through the Web”, and efforts to counter (resist and prevent) such ambitions are necessary.
Why do you want people to disable the privacy features? Hmmmmm?
Now You: do you plan to keep the Ads privacy features enabled?
I’d like to tell you, but apparently if you make a post critical of Google, you get censored. * [Editor: removed, just try to bring your opinion across without attacking anyone]
@Martin
You website is still psychotic. Comments attach to random stories.
@Martin please do fix the comments, it’s completely insane commenting here! :[
@Martin
The comments are seriously messed up on gHacks now. These comments are mixed with the article at the below URL.
https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/18/android-how-to-disable-2g-cellular-connections-to-improve-security/
And comments on other articles are from as far back as 2010.
What does this article has anything to do with all the comments on this article? LOL I think this Websuite is ran by ChatGPT. every article is messed up. Some older comments from 2015 shown up in recant articles, LOL
The picture captioned “Clearing the Android Auto’s cache might resolve the issue” is from Apple Carplay ;)
How about other things that matter:
Drop survival?
Screen toughness?
Degree of water and dust protection?
