A little off topic: Craigslist apps?

So, anyone have input on a good craigslist app that I can set up to alert me for when trucks pop up for sale?
I've tried a few but never got them figured out.

Thanks.

I've not had all that much luck here lately with any craigslist app on my android phone. They all seem really glitchy and don't work nearly as well as the old (now unavailable) app I used to use.

If you're talking about one to use on the PC, however, Searchtempest.com is the only way to go. That's how I found my '97.

There's a guy here that gets a notice on his phone 20 minutes after a certain search parameter is posted.
It's that feature I am interested in.
Thanks.

Sounds easy enough.
But he's a competitor and won't divulge that info.

I just found one for Android that I have been trying out and so far it seems really nice! It's called Mokriya. I don't know about the goofy name, but the app works really well for me so far. I don't believe it is available for the iPhone but it works great on the Android OS.

It's available for iPhone too. Says you can set alerts. I might have to try this.

On his phone, that's the point, won't do any good to get alerts on pc, need to jump on stuff quick!

I will look into that ap, thanks.

The alerts work well and you can set it to watch multiple locations, specify what sections of CL it searches, and use the app to save favorites, contact sellers, and create your own posts. So far I'm really liking what I see.

WTH?!?! I didn't know such a thing existed! I spent hours upon hours manually searching for my 97!!!! What a waste of time! I could have just used an app to do the searching!

The APP you want is "Craigslist Pro", looks like this:
