Ratings and reviews

the new update is terrible. the items available never load properly. the app itself crashes often and I have to hard close the app to get it working again, it only works 50% of the time. If I select an item to look at further I am unable to go back to the place I was in my search. I have to scroll back through to find my place and the item pictures then disappear. when that happens I also have to reload the app.

Just updated, still not working. When I try to login (tried both using Google account and email/pass) it kicks me back out or says account failed, or nothing happens at all. I enjoyed when it was working, so I hope the bugs can be fixed. It gives people the ability to gift what is still useful but we don't necessarily need anymore. Edit: keeps crashing unable to respond to people. I've uninstalled it as it isn't usable like this. Please fix the app, or maybe return to the previous version.

New update has functionality issues. Besides having to register/set up your profile all over again and now they require your date of birth, all navigation has to be tapped twice to work (first tap does nothing), and Gives and Asks are separated into different sections. You can browse everything together if you scroll down far enough but it's clunky, and a persistent prompt to subscribe takes up most of the page. Unfortunately I think it's back to FB Buy Nothing for me.
