How can we help? 👋

SaleSpot aggregates listings from public sources including Craigslist garage sale postings, estate sale sites, and community boards. When you open the app, it uses your device's location to show you sales within your set radius. The map updates in real-time as you move around.

Yes! SaleSpot is free to download and use. The free version lets you browse sales on the map, view listings, and save favorites. SaleSpot Pro ($4.99/month or $29.99/year) unlocks advanced features like custom sale alerts, route planning, and more.

You can browse as a guest, but creating a free account lets you save favorites, set alert preferences, and sync your data across devices. Sign up takes about 30 seconds with just an email and password.

Our scraper checks for new listings every few hours. Most listings appear within a few hours of being posted online. Keep in mind that sellers sometimes cancel or change their sales — always double-check details before making a trip!

Go to the Profile tab (bottom right) and tap Search Radius. Use the + and − buttons to set your preferred distance in 5-mile increments, from 5 to 100 miles.

On the sign-in screen, tap Forgot Password and enter your email. You'll receive a reset link within a few minutes. Check your spam folder if you don't see it. If you still have trouble, email support@salespotapp.com.

Go to Profile → Settings → Delete Account. This permanently deletes your account and all associated data within 30 days. If you're having trouble finding this option, email support@salespotapp.com with the subject "Delete My Account" and we'll process it manually.

You can manage notifications two ways:

• In-app: Profile tab → Notifications → toggle off what you don't want
• Device settings: iOS Settings → SaleSpot → Notifications; Android Settings → Apps → SaleSpot → Notifications

You keep Pro access until the end of your current billing period.

If you're having trouble getting a refund, email us and we'll advocate on your behalf.

A few things to check:

• Make sure location permission is enabled (Settings → SaleSpot → Location → "While Using the App" or "Always")
• Try increasing your search radius in the Profile tab
• Pull down on the map to refresh
• Sales data updates every few hours — there may genuinely be fewer sales this week in your area
• Try toggling sale categories in the filter menu to make sure they're all enabled

Try these steps in order:

• Force-quit the app and reopen it
• Check if there's an app update available in the App Store or Google Play
• Restart your phone
• Delete and reinstall the app (your account data is saved — just sign back in)

If it's still crashing, email bugs@salespotapp.com with your phone model and iOS/Android version so we can investigate.

• Make sure notifications are enabled in your device settings (Settings → SaleSpot → Notifications)
• Check that your alert is active in the Alerts tab — it should have a green indicator
• Ensure your phone isn't in Do Not Disturb mode
• Background App Refresh must be enabled for timely notifications (Settings → SaleSpot → Background App Refresh → On)

SaleSpot pulls listings from public sources and doesn't always control when sellers update or remove them. If you find a listing that's incorrect, spam, or inappropriate, tap the three-dot menu on the listing and select Report Listing, or email support@salespotapp.com with the listing details.
