I am the OP and CoFounder of Mokriya, the company that built Mokriya Craigslist. It has innovative UI that is never seen before in any other apps. Would love to know what HN thinks of the App. It is a complete redesign of Craigslist on Mobile from the ground up, with innovative UI. Here is some press about the app.

Happy to answer any questions on how we built the app and thought process behind some of the UI and UX in the app.

Nice. Seems well done from a brief look. :-)

The music to the video is really annoying. I couldn't make it all the way through because of it. The app seems great though.

I have been looking for housing for the last few weeks in Atlanta. I just downloaded your app to try it out looking for apartments. The UI is great. Really snappy, sensible, and out of the way. Well done.

However, there are some content issues with the map. It seems that it's only loading a page or two of listings. I checked a moment ago the area I'm looking at and there were 20 or so listings but the app shows no listings at all in that same area. What gives?

There are only about 7 million iPhone and Android apps that let you browse craigslist..I don't see what makes this one different. @ethanparker, you can try to be a little less obvious when upvoting a product you are associated with

I hope you checked out the app. If you really did checkout the app and feel that it is no different than the other craigslist apps on the market, then I have nothing to add and I will take your criticism of the App.

What a negative, hyperbolic and unnecessary comment.

I'm playing with the app right now as I've been using Craigslist (and various apps of it) a lot lately.

I find the interface is really quite refreshing and nice. The real estate listings, the various photographic listings, the polish and animations. It really is a well done app.

Not to mention: it's officially licensed by Craigslist so there's a good chance it won't be taken offline anytime soon.

I will be using this app for my Craigslist browsing on my iPhone and sincerely hope an iPad app is soon on the way.

Maybe you should give it a shot? You might see something you like.
