Lifelike Craig HD is currently on sale and is due to receive a major update which will take advantage of the iPad 2 and will be free for current users.

Released by Los Angeles based Lifelike Apps, the update will take full advantage of the iPad 2’s camera and have universal compatibility with the iPhone and iPod Touch.

The application allows users to browse through Craigslist as if they were looking through a classified newspaper. Users can filter and personalize the app, with bookmarked listings looking like they have been circled in red pen.

They can post their own classified ads from within the app, and manage multiple accounts. There is a Smart Location feature which automatically determines a user’s location. User’s previous searches are saved, and suggestions offered for future searches based on the history. Classified postings can be replied to or forwarded on to friends all within the app.

Lifelike Craig HD 1.6.1 is available worldwide on the App Store for $1.99/£1.19. iOS 3.2 or later required. After the update later this month the price will increase, and the update will be free for current users.

Evan Hansen from Wired News is reporting on an article via Techcrunch, that Craigslist didn’t announce the decision and there was no mention of it in its blog on Saturday morning. They have also not replied to email and voice messages about the news.

Craigslist has come under increasing pressure concerning sex services advertised on its network, and that it helps human sex trafficking. Prostitution sting operations are regularly carried out by the police using the listings.

Only last week the company got a letter from seventeen state attorney general’s demanding that the listings were removed immediately, this was after two girls said they were trafficked for sex through the site. The adult services section currently accounts for 30% of its total revenue, but the site has made changes to these types of listings imposing rules of what can appear, and manually checking ads.
