letgo's the largest app to buy and
sell locally. With over 75M 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.
