Ratings and reviews

I love giving in my neighborhood! The app reaches farther than the Facebook groups, which I prefer. However. The app glitches constantly. I have to login over and over. It does not save my pickup info even though I tick the box to save it every time. Sometimes it won't open, or things take forever to load. I love the BuyNothing community and the function of the app, but I really wish it were more reliable. My loyalty to the concept and lack of other options are what keep me using the app.

Love the service, hate the all. Buy nothing as a concert is great. However, it's an atrocious app that frequently shuts down and even when it is "working" is often glitching (such as messages or notifications never clearing). All features have increased in the year or 2 I've been using it but I wish instead of making more features, they'd spend the dev. hours fixing the problems.

For an app called "BuyNothing" it sure keeps trying to get me to give them money. Many pieces of essential functionality are gated behind a subscription model. Want to bookmark a post? Pay us money. Want to easily switch between communities? Pay us money. It also performs like garbage. When you scroll past the first ten or so listings it slows to a jittery crawl. Search filters don't work. I was looking for a table with "local only" selected and it kept showing things 2,000 miles away.
