Taobao 17+

The most recent update has completely screwed up the image search feature on this app. I’ve been using the taobao website for several years now, and only just tried out the app earlier this year. I was very pleasantly surprised by how much smoother it runs compared to the browser site. For a person whose only language is English, and with lots of help from a translation app, I myself find this app very easy to navigate and it is in fact one of my favorite apps/websites to shop on. I’ve had no problems with this app until the most recent updates, and I have to say that it’s both disappointing and frustrating. The image search feature on here was one of the best I’ve ever used as well as being the most helpful tool for me, especially due to the language barrier. I have, on countless occasions, been able to find the exact items I was looking for, just from the reverse image search all on it’s own because of the notice to detail. Unfortunately, with the recent update, the reverse image search has been reduced to a very diluted version of its previous superior quality. I really hope that this will be addressed and corrected soon.

After I have bought an item, I kept getting new suggestion for the same type of items. Some items I only need one for a long time, if you are showing me better ones will only make me feel regret of what I bought or just wasting my time and your resource as a unintelligent APP. Don’t think that you have made a great platform and services will automatically high rating of the APP. Keep up the good work and create the APP up to what you should of be, be the real top platform of China and do some real user friend creation.

I love shopping 🥹 my wallet suffers though. Great for finding hanfu 🥰If you keep getting banned, their security is uselessly strict so you shouldn’t change your IP too much. Avoid logging in at different places/devices because they’ll see it as a security breach on your account. You will need to ask your friends currently in China to purchase everything you want on their account and then pay them back. Probably delete the app before going to China and then pick up your stuff, or just have your connection in China send them to you overseas. It will take a month or two. Security is uptight like wechat tbh, but even harder to recover on taobao. Living in the US requires patience with taobao. It’s good to know people in china for this app. As for the other stuff, I’m not expecting a whole lot from them since I was able to access my own secure method for shopping.
