Simply a good app to have visiting Shanghai. Check out the sites and how to get there, what's hot and what's not.

★☆☆☆☆ Gun Dark · Apr 4, 2024

I tried to sell some things on the marketplace on that it never got approved.wasted my time.for some reasons not disclosed if you send a message to somebody on the website you can only read a reply back if using this app. Whether that is deliberate or not it forces a person wishing to reply to their classified ads to install this app. Seeing as how Google is very difficult to access in China, with VPNs hardly ever working, that also does not make a lot of sense! Smart?

★☆☆☆☆ Joshua Leclerc · Jun 22, 2021

The app is full of glitches, in many cases it simply redirects you to the website so the point of installing the app is not clear, the support is quite slow and incompetent.

★☆☆☆☆ Ky Ky · Jun 11, 2026

This is the worst event app I've ever used. You can't sign up for anything on here. There's no filter for the type of event when you select dates. I thought Shanghai would have better options, but this is it.
