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.

Not a great experience. I downloaded the app to see if my area has a BN group, but could not figure out how to search for that. It's very buggy especially upon creating an account, some dark patterns (like hiding the skip button on scroll when asking for money), and was getting results from places miles away in other cities. They also ask you for a lot of personal info when creating an account, which was unnecessary. I don't see myself using the app as it is, so I uninstalled.
