trash nothing‪!‬ 4+

I love the idea of Freecycle and Freegle and their websites are just awful to manage replies on - and not mobile friendly - this solves the main problems of the sites - and aggregates really well - being able to post on multiple forums quickly is a major win!

There’s a few quirks/bugs - none stop me using it - just have to think my way around the problems (like message replying being less than smooth), photos being a bit janky at times

There's a problem on this app with users donating the items and not bothering with marking it as taken or delisting it. A lot of items are already gone but still showing as available days, weeks, sometimes months later. Most messages sent go unanswered or are a waste of time due to receiving a "sorry, it's gone now" when the item was posted ages ago. It feels like some users take pleasure in keeping items listed and telling users it's gone, over and over, without delisting it. This needs to be sorted. Users posting must be forced to mark item as taken for good or have their account temporarily de-activated if they don't update the status of their listings after a few days.

I don’t think I realised how much I loved using this app until the Covid-19 situation curtailed all the swapping activity in my local area. Quite simply, it’s a brilliant resource for finding local things - all for free - that you need for your latest project, entertainment, education or household improvement. Without exception all of the people I’ve met through this have been friendly and like-minded. I’ve saved a great deal of money, too. Plus, it’s far and away the easiest way to rid yourself of unwanted articles. It keeps things out of landfill! What’s not to love?
