Freecycle + trash nothing‪!‬ 4+

Doesn’t seem right

I just downloaded the app for the first time after being a Freecycle member for years and getting daily update emails. It’s nice to know about other groups in my area but I live in a metropolitan area and the emails I get have multiple items posted daily. I’m not seeing the same things in the app or nearly the volume.

I also had an issue logging into my account. I used a yahoo account but when I tried to use my pw they said I didn’t have an account associated with that email address. I had to kinda create a new account with that yahoo address.

I’m hopeful things will be worked out and I can use the app instead of logging in on a computer. Maybe my new account has to go through moderation or something.

Works well, but could used a few improvements that would make truly great!

I’ve been using this app for about a month now to help clear a friend’s house & I’ve been impressed with how useful it’s been! I know it’s not Freecycle but seems to work well in my area. However, I’ve been posting so many things that it’s easy to mix up who wanted what when I look at my inbox. I have to go into each person’s thread to figure it out. It would be great if they could somehow add a small picture of the item(s) you’ve promised that person (or that that person has replied about) for that person’s thread, so you know immediately at a glance when looking at the inbox what they wanted. Right now, I have to go into each person’s thread to remember what they wanted. so this would be a big help!

I also wish I could reach out to a larger community instead of just my Ellicott city Freecycle community.

I’ve had a few other issues with the app, but this review is long enough, so stopping here. This is the major improvement I’d like to see!

Thanks for the feedback. The latest version of the app should make it much easier to see who is messaging about what. If you have other ideas or feedback about how the app could be improved, please email us at support@trashnothing.com

Freecycle or Trash Nothing?

I have been a freecycle member for years. I wondered if there was an app, so I searched the store. The app is “Freecycle + Trash Nothing” — which I thought was strange. I downloaded it. When you open it, only “Trash Nothing” appears, and the logo isn’t the freecycle logo. I thought maybe the name change. But I couldn’t log in with my freecycle credentials. Had to create a new account. And they don’t seem linked. I have to post my items in both places. So I can only see my freecycle messages by being logged in in the website.

Reading messages is confusing. I world see an icon showing that I have a message. I clicked on the envelope icon, and everything there I had read. It took me a while to figure out that there’s a dropdown for different types of messages — re items you posted, items you’ve inquired about, notifications. That’s nice, but it’s not very clear.
