Which is the real Craigslist app? ›

Postings. Postings is an Android app that shows ads and classifieds from Craigslist. It offers multiple layouts for different user preferences and supports multiple location searches. You can save favorite ads, sort and filter listings, and remove ads with an in-app purchase.

It is important to remember that even if you post something on Craigslist anonymously, law enforcement may still be able to trace the content back to you.

Craigslist uses email obfuscation to protect your actual email address from exposure. When you click on the response button in the Craigslist ad, the site generates for you a Craigslist email address. When the other user responds to your message using this address, you receive the message into your real email address.

Craigslist provides proxy email addresses to sellers, and it's a good idea to use them so browsers can't spam your actual email address. Once a potential buyer is truly interested, however, it's okay to switch communication to your cell phone; most buyers appreciate being able to text.
