Love the concept but app is buggy

But Nothing is the best way to de-clutter your life without the guilt of tossing stuff in the trash. It’s a blessing to be able to share stuff with others in need.

Only wish is that the app would be less buggy. It constantly wants me to sign in… just leave me signed in! It can be a bit wonky when you think you’re replying to a post but actually you haven’t. Notifications when other reply to your posts don’t always show up in a timely manner.

But aside from these bugs, the app is still worth using

For the love of god and all things left good in the world

I never write reviews because most of the time an app doesn’t warrant me enough to do so; however, I really do love this app and the concept and I want to see the developers follow through on what it means to have community. I’ve gotten to meet some really wonderful people, but god the constant crashing, loading circle of doom, freezing, being forced to log in only to be logged out some time after, and so forth—complete bootycheeks. I’ve never wanted to bang my head against a wall so much until I came across this app. And I know I’m not the only one, so, whatever the developers are doing, please, I beg of you: fix this app. Don’t disappoint the good people that utilize this tool by skipping out on quality.

Also, a “repost” function would be incredibly useful so people don’t have to copy and paste a whole new post. Especially for those who have multiple items, it’s time consuming and could be much quicker.

I’d really love to change this rating, so I hope you’re reading this and taking it into consideration. It really is a great app, but my patience is wearing thin from how much it has persisted.

Great idea in theory, but not smooth in practice

This is a wonderful idea, and I have successfully given away a couple things so far. But there are some problems I’m encountering. One person asking for books and toys for children who have nothing turned out to be a scam, and I was only able to avoid it at the last minute because a friend clued me in to what was happening. Now I don’t know which other things might be scams.
Plus, when someone responds to something I am gifting, and then I respond back what daytime do they want to pick up? They never answer. And it is a drag to keep going in every day to check and this has happened with more people than have actually responded. Plus, the posts are entered one on top of the other, so that the newest one is always on top. the only way to browse through offers/asks is to just continue scrolling down down down. Of course, you can only bump your post up to the top if you are a paying member. Again, a grate philosophy, but not user-friendly.
