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.

The app works very poorly. It often won't open, or asks me to log in again. However when I try to log in, it claims my ID and password are incorrect. And there's no option to contact anyone for help. I wish they had a desktop version (not one connected to FB) because I really dislike using this as an app. Also, it's actually hard to find people who want your items. I have not found one yet. It's much easier to give things away on Craigslist. I'm thinking about just deleting this app.

Unfortunately, the app email login rarely works so I can't even get into the platform! I enter my email, password, and click the Log In button, and nothing happens. If I enter the wrong login information, it tells me the combination is invalid, so I know that's not the problem! I've had this happen several times, so usually end up in my local FB group instead of using the app. In my case, my BN FB group is way more active than the community in the app.
