Oh my goodness, what have you done to the layout?! Such a useful app now so hard to use! Before it was easy to sort by nearest/newest and flick between food and non food and now it takes loads of taps and setting filters each time. Terrible update! Please give the old, easy to use layout back!

Good concept and the app is well implemented for posting, discovery, and messaging. I'm glad that this app made it easy for me to give away things that I don't need anymore, but which other people would benefit from. The pop-ups to support the app are really really annoying though. I get that they need money to support the project, but it feels really frustrating to be harassed and interrupted by the ads several times a day while I'm giving away loads of stuff for free! It honestly made me want to stop using the app and just throw my stuff in the bin. I think if they just made it so that the ads to support only showed at most once every few days, this would be a big improvement. Also their bot is very annoying and there's no way to disable it as far as I can tell. This is detrimental since I want to treat messages from people as high priority and get a sound notification, but I don't want to be spammed by their bot, and there's no way for me to differentiate the two. They should use a separate notification channel for bot messages so I can make them lower priority notifications.

Utterly useless. No one in my area is posting, or at least I think that's what's going on; I can't tell because searching on a map (along with everything else!) is paywalled?? Plus you have to sign up before you can even see if your neighborhood has anything, which is a slimy policy. There are better apps out there for similar purposes.

The app has some software issues however the purpose and vision of less food waste and more sharing make it a great app. I would give the idea five stars but the app itself gets 2 stars. The messaging system frequently doesn't send messages. I have now experience this multiple times over several months, leading to me waiting half an hour for the message to be read and twice having a pickup cancelled. Edited

Absolutely LOVE this app! It's a great way to get rid of your unwanted food & non-food items by giving the stuff to others in need! When I first joined I posted quite a few food items & somebody requested them, then picked them up quickly! Also have experienced getting things from others. ALL of my experiences have been with great people. Its a fantastic app!
