### 4/5 — Improved

*2025-09-29, version 6.1.4*

Improved from previous versions

### 2/5 — Potential

*2025-06-19, version 6.1.4*

1. Interface has a small but noticeable learning curve that will deter users quickly.
2. Posts NEED to have date of posting. Since this app is clearly not used often I don’t want to find products posted three years ago. Keep it fresh and archive things beyond a date. 
3.  The ISO feature is sot of obstructive in the feed. Needs a rebalancing in contrast to items. 
4. Two column feed will have me infinite scrolling. I don’t want that. 
5.needs a tangible amount of users.

### 3/5 — Not working

*2025-06-12, version 6.1.4*

When I try to sign up it doesn’t allow me to choose country and I cannot proceed to next step. I’m in the US

### 3/5 — Nothing works anymore in this update

*2024-02-21, version 5.0.4*

Cannot find the place to edit my profile summary. Cannot add more than 1 ISO.

### 1/5 — Absurd!

*2023-12-16, version 5.0.4*

Why would you update the app just to make it entirely UNUSABLE!?!?! Can’t update profile, lost all my genuine and lovely reviews, and now can’t even update my city. This is the most ridiculous change of an app I’ve EVER seen! Such a shame because now I will have to find a different way to give away stuff. You are contributing to MORE WASTE from this terrible, nonsensical “update.” Shame on you, Bunz—you’ve become part of the capitalistic problem.

### 1/5 — Useless app, ruined it, shame

*2023-12-09, version 5.0.4*

Team behind app has abandoned all plans
Users are far and few, nothing works 100%
Message notifications don’t work 
Photo uploads don’t work in batches, also never upload in order or upload as blank
Cannot comment under photos
Cant search for listings under own profile
Can’t search for,delete or archive old messages
Cant repost items to trade since BTZ is also not circulating / producing 
Cant see likes on posts
There is no Notification Centre 
No support messaging because support doesn’t exist

### 1/5 — Zero Stars

*2023-10-20, version 5.0.4*

App is dead, basic features like posting, deleting, notification is all bugged. Killed any desire for users to stay on the app as well.

### 1/5 — Abandoned

*2023-07-31, version 5.0.4*

abandoned by the founders, abandoned by the new devs, abandoned by its users.

promises been made to change up the app and it has been 8 months since its last update and it is just unusable, which caused all the users to leave the app

### 1/5 — Never been the same since the remake

*2023-07-28, version 5.0.4*

Since their overhaul and re-do of the app, it’s never been the same, and quite frankly isn’t even functional.

Everything is more complicated than it needs to be.

Can’t edit my profile, don’t get message notifications, it auto logs me out after each session, my 30+ ratings didn’t carry over, none of my previous messages carried over, the activity tab isn’t functional, the front page only shows accounts I follow and not the most recent posts. I shouldn’t have to click into a separate tab to see all posts.

Took a hiatus for over a year and literally nothing has been changed, fixed, or updated, despite it saying it’s “coming soon”.

The redo was a big mistake and it’s like instead of fixing it they’ve just let it die. It’s really really really sad because I was a frequent user of the app and recommended it to everyone I knew. Before the update I would have given 10 stars if I could and given an amazing heartfelt review. It’s really sad and disappointing it’s no longer what it was.

A classic example of if it’s not broke, don’t fix it. They ruined an amazing app with unnecessary changes.

### 1/5 — Went from being one of the most exciting apps to the absolute worst

*2023-07-28, version 5.0.4*

Nothing works and it’s all messy. What a waste because this app used to be a great way to contribute to second hand economy. Pure trash now.

### 1/5 — No bueno

*2023-07-08, version 5.0.4*

Took a hiatus cause the app is no longer functional. Came back today and literally nothing is different. Too bad cause it was so much fun to use before and I love trading

### 1/5 — Utterly confusing and chaotic

*2023-06-28, version 5.0.4*

Nothing left in this app anymore. It’s a shame because it was pretty cool initially.

The main page is showing me listings that are in completely different cities from where I live, even ones in different countries. What’s the point of that?

You can no longer delete posts if anyone has messaged you about them. 

You can’t undo it when you accidentally hit the completed trade button in a chat.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2026-03-21, version 6.1.4*

Reviews from years ago! Today it’s terrible

### 1/5 — App is Literally Bunz fr

*2026-03-16, version 6.1.4*

Would give it a negative start if I could literally a hoarders market place for bunch of trash

### 1/5 — broken App, brozen company

*2026-02-28, version 6.1.4*

The App does not work. There is no developer working on this company.There is no support.Features and functions are not fully developed and yet it has been released to use it. This App should be removed to be download as this app us not operational. The company or venture behind Bunz has been abbandoned. Please remive this App from Apple Store.

### 1/5 — App Issue

*2025-04-03, version 6.1.3*

I can’t even try the app as the introduction page is not working. I cannot select a country as there is nothing coming down in the drop box. Please hire better UI designers! You’re usability evaluations definitely needs to be revised before you release an app.

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2025-03-08, version 6.1.3*

Always thinks I am in Toronto, even if i entered my meeting point very far from it. Don’t let me add a second meeting point and now I am completely unable to login or reset my password. I never encountered an app as glitchy as this one.

### 1/5 — A great app…once upon a time ago…

*2024-08-31, version 6.0.1*

BUNZ was a great app a few years ago. I completed over 200 trades on it. Got some useful stuff. A few years ago they introduced BTZ or “currency” that can be used in the app at local businesses. I’d use it and loved it and often accepted it in exchange for my items. I’m at a point where I have accumulated over 13k in their currency and for the past 4 years it’s just been sitting there! There is no way to spend it so clearly my years of trades have vanished with nothing in return. I’ve emailed about it and gotten no response. Customer service is pathetic. The app also won’t let me delete items that I’ve traded nor get rid of the chats. It has gone from being one of the best apps on my phone to one of the worst. I’m literally deleting the app after writing this review.

### 1/5 — Came back after 4 year hiatus

*2024-07-02, version 6.0.1*

Moved away and now I'm back in Toronto.. this app has gone insanely downhill. So many glitches. And the whole user interface is just trash compared to what it used to be.

### 1/5 — App not working with new update. Zero Assistance

*2024-06-08, version 6.0.0*

All of a sudden I am unable to login. 3 weeks trying to get in touch with them. No replies, even on IG (but they keep posting). I had a profile full of pending trades. One day I open the app and I’m kicked out. Login just won’t work anymore.
Note: I tried reinstalling, even a brand new signup. Nothing. What a waste of time. You start building a gallery and trades and then randomly lose everything

### 1/5 — They broke it

*2024-05-05, version 5.0.4*

Bunz used to be really useful. A great way to reduce and reuse stuff. A year or two ago now they launched a series of updates that has made the entire application useless.

Listings don’t disappear once completed or deleted so no one can tell what your profile actually has on it. 

The messaging system is completely bananas and impossible to organize making incoming requests for the same item very messy to deal with.

Notifications are spotty or excessively persistent. Images routinely failed to upload. Profiles are nearly impossible to manage.

Congratulations they’ve successfully eliminated any functionality once had. what a waste.

### 1/5 — How to ruin a great thing

*2024-01-05, version 5.0.4*

Bunz is the poster app for ruining something that worked well. Note the 5 star ratings are from 5 yr ago when it worked so well and we all were trading like crazy. Now the app can’t find my location, reposted all my traded items like they are avail again (no I’m not a store!!!!) and can’t do a simple search like ‘ski goggles’ without timing out and freezing. As someone who traded over 200 items - (I think because it deleted all my stats and friends after an update). Don’t bother - they broke it beyond so no one uses it anymore.

This is a great app for trading, bartering, meeting new people and getting involved in your community.

### 5/5 — Great bartering app

*2026-04-25, version 6.1.4*

I have been using bunz since its inception and have made over thousands of trades since. There was a mishap where the app had a revamp and none of its features were working, leading to a lot of users leaving the app. It has since been fixed and as an avid bunzer, would love to see the app return to its potential. Give it a try!

### 5/5 — the best

*2026-04-24, version 6.1.4*

i’ve found so many epic, one-of-a-kind finds on here. love the philosophy of trading instead of buying.

### 5/5 — People need to stop complaining

*2023-02-22, version 5.0.4*

The older version sucked, you just got used to it. Now get used to the new version and get on your life.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2021-06-07, version 4.8.3*

It’s the best app!
