BuyNothing Pros

✓ Great App!I love this app makes getting rid of stuff and finding community so easy!.TaigennnnVersion: 2.0.2

✓ Buy Nothing - fabulous.The app allows direct contact and visibility of those in your community. Once word spreads and more people start using it, it will be a great tool for sharing amongst our local area. Much easier than the restrictive Facebook groups..Caz2972Version: 1.5.1

BuyNothing Cons

✗ Good but very slow and buggyOn the pro side: overall It’s a good app and great concept. I like that it offers a choice of how local you want to go. This is a nice difference from the Facebook version - which can get a little (class/etc) segregated and problematic in this regard. And the fact that you can avoid the evil data vampire/ misinformation monstrosity that is Facebook is great in itself. For the most part my interactions with folks on the app have been lovely. Now for the cons: this app is BUGGY and SLOW. I’ve been refreshing over the course of about 6 hours today and it still won’t update. (The “newest” post displayed is from 11 hours ago) It disappears messages that I send or receive, or they’ll go to the wrong member, or appear under the wrong person’s name in my inbox…It also won’t let you edit a post after posting it.. The app definitely feels more impersonal and less community oriented than the FB version. There seems to be no moderation so sometimes people get snarky, or post things that are not BN related — or even counter to the mission. And did I mention it is SLOW. Cmon developers you can do better than this ..I-reineVersion: 1.8.1

✗ Great concept, still buggyI love that there is a buy nothing app. My local but nothing group is one of the few reasons I keep my Facebook account alive and I’m trying to move away from that platform as much as possible. Unfortunately there are significant bugs. If I click in to a post to see the comments usually the app freezes and I have to force quit to get out of that screen and continue browsing. I also agree with other reviews the number of times you’re prompted to and key features (like saving/bookmarking a post) locked behind becoming a paid “sustaining member” does feel a little contrary to the projects mission. I absolutely understand there are costs associated with software, but for $50/year one would expect a great functioning professionally developed software, not a buggy volunteer project. I have high hopes for the future of this app, but unfortunately adoption in my area is not as great as in our active Facebook groups. I don’t think adoption will be quite what it needs to be until a few more improvements are made. I also feel like it had a bit less of a community feel than the Facebook groups. I can’t quite put my finger on why, but I think it may be the fact that rather than defining a neighborhood/community it’s just a radius from your location. This feels more like posting a transaction (give/ask) on a smaller Craigslist than a neighborhood group focused on giving. It also could just be the particular group I’m in vs the few app users, maybe this will change..Abcde 54321Version: 2.0.2
