Ever wondered where to sell your gadgets or used cloths with ease and self-assured? What of you buying any electrical appliance from your peer without the fear of being ripped off? Yeah. I guess this sounds like you do if only you find yourself on this page.
You see, in recent times, we have seen a rise in the peer to peer trading websites, apps and other social trading platform and these to me, as a tech lover and an eCommerce enthusiast I will say is a good sign that the Ghanaian citizens are beginning to match with their counterparts in the advanced world.
With the likes of OLX, Tonatan and other online trading platforms, the online classified websites have turned to be evolving in the Ghanaian trading sphere. The recent one being the Pepapa.com. These new trading platforms have both the web-based presence and that of the mobile app to help its cherished users transact on a go.
In one of our articles, we have made a full review of the Pepapa websites which has received a great welcome from our cherished readers and in this post, we are going to look at the release app by these platform providers and see if the app really serve the purpose of which it has been developed.
What Is The Pepapa App?
The Pepapa App is a mobile-based application developed by pepapa.com website owners to serve the growing mobile users of the website. The app is available for both iOS and Android smartphone users.
Who can use the app?
The pepapa.com mobile app is available for both Android and iOS users. This app according the Pepapa.com is purposely meant for you the users to easily transact your daily activities on your mobile devices without you having to visit the websites from the browser.
What this means is that with the app one can independently connect directly with buyers and sellers online from anywhere at any time. Just like the other peer to peer trading apps, the Pepapa app is more dynamic in bringing buyers and sellers, closer to each other.
How Does This App Works?
If you have ever traded on the OLX or Tonaton, then this app should not be puzzling to you. The app works similar to that of these two platforms but with extra plus features which may not be available on the other platform.
When you have something for sale either brand new or used you can easily sell it to the wide variety of buyers on this mobile app.
All you need to do is to download the App on your iOS or Android device, and you are good to go. The best part of this app is the fact that you have the option to sell as an unregistered member on pepapa.com. All you’ve got to do is to take a clear photo of the product/s you want to sell and upload it on the app with your contact details.
As a buyer, you just need to download the App on your Android or iPhone and have the opportunity to browse through thousands of Ads on pepapa.com with ease to find yourself the best deal from most trusted sellers.
Once you see the product you are interested in from this mobile app, you can then click on the seller’s number to place a call, then you and the seller will make arrangement to meet each other at a safe place, like seller’s shop if he/she has any, the mall, police station or any safe meeting place you can think of. This will ensure that your transaction will end up with each party being happy with what he or she has gotten from the trade.
Why Should One Trade On Pepapa App?
The app as I said is designed to make the life of the thousand-plus users of the Pepapa platform simple and ease. Using this app as a buyer will give you the opportunity to always have a look at what’s new on the platform and also as a seller, you can use the Pepapa app to conduct your daily trade without you visiting your computer or laptop.
Security-wise, according to Pepapa they do not think only about selling and buying but also about your security.
They provide the almost-perfect platform for you to conduct your open trade. Once there is a mutual agreement between the buyer and the seller, Pepapa encourages each party to exercise due diligence by choosing a secure place to finalize the transaction. That, no party should send or receive the subject of trade prior to the meeting of the two parties.
What are the flaws of the app?
Every good thing has its downsides. Pepapa is not an exception. The app as seen is somehow still in the development stage and like any other app, there are some bugs which needs to be fixed.
Most of the users of this app have lodged a complaint about their inability to register for an account on the app whiles others also said the app crashes most too often. However, in our test of the app, we didn’t face any of such issues.
A quick chat with the providers of the apps shows that they have taken note of the feedback and will do their best to fix the challenges.
My Final words concerning the app
Being an infant platform which has just evolve to add up to the already existing platform, the Pepapa app, if properly manage and maintain will have a great impact in the Ghanaian peer to peer trading platform. The success of the app will also depend on the ability of the developers to constantly include the feedbacks they get from the users and into each update.
