letgo's the largest app to buy and sell locally. With over 100M
downloads and hundreds of millions of listings added by users, letgo’s
already been named among the “Hottest Startups” by Wired and “Best Apps”
by Google, and it’s the second fastest growing app in America since its
2015 launch. Business Insider calls letgo “the go-to app for selling
your stuff” and it’s been featured by The New York Times, The Today
Show, Mashable, Fast Company, The Wall Street Journal, Fortune and
hundreds of others worldwide. Listing something on letgo is as simple as
taking a photo thanks to its advanced technology. It’s the only app of
its kind that can automatically title and categorize an item using
artificial intelligence. Users can easily browse local listings, chat
instantly in the app, and view each other’s profiles, ratings and
reviews.
