    Hi 5miles users,

    This is Shirley from 5miles customer support team.

    Pertaining to your previous concern about no free “boost” issue, we feel glad to tell you that “free” boost function is back now, when 4 free boost chances is used off, you just need 9 coins to get one free boost.

    You may ask how to earn coins? Actually, you cannot imagine how easily it is to earn coins:

    • Seven consecutive check-in could help you get over 300 coins=33 free boost
    • Following “Lustro Hair” Instagram could help you get 100 coins=11 free boost
    • Referring a new user could help you get 1000 coins=111 free boost
    • Besides, 5miles also provide other easy tasks to help you get more coins=thousands of free boost chances.

    For more details on how to earn coins, please refer to How to Earn Coins?

    Please do not hesitate to boost your items to get more exposure and offers.

    We hope the changes help get your items sold faster, welcome to get back to me about your new feedback.

    Best Regards,
    5miles Customer Support Team

    I don’t have a boost. Does this mean that I have to pay to sell. If that’s what happens now. I will sell elsewhere.

    I stopped using other, similar apps because they didn’t offer free boost which makes a big difference in sales. Guess I’ll be dropping 5miles next! You guys should find a better way to monetize your app. My bet is that not many people will be willing to pay for the Feature function—but oooh, it’s 3-in-1!—and more will simply stop using your app because sales are slower with no free boost feature. Nice job!

    Hi,

    Thank you for reaching out to us!

    In an effort to improve user experience and productivity on our app, our Boost function has been slightly altered in our latest version. Each listing has four (4) free boosts and once the four (4) boosts are used up, you will be suggested to purchase "Feature" it is the newest and updated sales tools function of the app.

    Our 5miles Feature contains three functions: Hot Deal, Triple Exposure and Click-to-Call, for as low as $1.99 depends on the number of days to promote your listing even more.

    You can check on the update in this article: How to buy Feature?

    We’re grateful to have had the opportunity to support you and hope you will help and support 5miles by continuing to list your items with us.

    Please feel free to contact us anytime at support@5milesapp.com or submit a ticket in 5miles through the path: Profile--Settings--Support / Leave Feedback. If you require further assistance.

    IT DOES NOT IMPROVE USER EXPERIENCE! Stop rewording it to make it sound like something it isn’t. You are charging people to boost. Period. Stupid idea. You will LOSE USERS over this. Stop being greedy.

    I know and understand that we don’t need to pay to list, but having to pay to get items “boosted” back to relevancy is ridiculous. Even if the boost feature was every 6 or 8 hours that’s better than only 4 in the beginning. I’ll be looking for a new app that actually cares about what its customers think.

    You could even link the boost feature to a dollar amount! Anything over $50 for example only gets the “4” free boost??? Use y’all’s brain and keep your customers
