Outfit my whole apartment

This is an amazing app. Do not try it. Because if you do, it will be less for me thanks.

Great app, but one feature is missing.

I really like Freebie Alerts. It makes it very easy to give away things that I no longer need and helps connect them with people who can use them.

One feature I would really like to see is an option to “Mark as Claimed” for posts that I created myself. Once an item has been picked up, the only option I currently see is “Delete post.”

It would be much better to have a CLAIMED status instead. That way the item would no longer appear as available, but I could still keep it in My Posts as a history of the things I have given away.

I’ve seen other posts displayed with a CLAIMED label, so it would be great if the person who created the post could also mark their own item as claimed.

Please consider adding this feature. It would make an already useful app even better!

Scammers

I just click in one item to see what about it… and Inmediatally an Apple Store charge for 200s and something..

awesome stuff

love i can find just about anything here

Great App Straight Forward

This is a great app. I enjoy it. The only CON that I can see... is that people post items that are not free at all and or services that are not free so the post can be misleading when the person posting is really looking to get paid for what they post

Easy

Great app easy to use

Loved

The best app ever

Free

Easy to use and people post a lot of items on here

Not everything is free

This site is supposed to be for free items. Not items for sale. I report some of these listings but they are still on the site.

❤️

Love this app! Great way to donate to our community and a great way for sellers to advertise and sell their products. Users are very polite, attentive and responsive. Great app for givers and sellers and a heavenly place for consumers (free stuff lovers).

Delete items no longer available!!!

I like that u can see all the different free items from different sites. However the fact nothing gets removed once the item is no longer available is irritating

Privacy concern and more

Just be aware that eventually, if you get into contact as a receiver or giver, the other person will see you name and your actual email. You may want to set up fake accounts if this is a concern for you. I assumed this would be like Ebay and that all emails would stay on a Nextdoor page/server.

Also, it is sometimes really hard to find a post that you remember seeing.

Personally, i wish only the really urgent stuff would show up first, and that all less urgent stuff would appear in a second location, maybe a third location for feel good fluff. Or at least a filter button. For example, ‘i see smoke right now’ or ‘i just saw this suspicious person in front of my house’ would be top priority. It seems to get buried.

Awesome sauce

Great app totally the best

It’s good

Because when you’re looking for something free, I have most everything

Suggestion

I thought by paying there would be an extra benefit using the app other than the unlimited whitelist. I don’t mind having made the payment because it has been beneficial. Just wish there was more to the app. Maybe instead of just entering your zip code it can also go by your current location.

Too many requests to rate

In five minutes of browsing I dismissed the request to rate the app three times. On the fourth request I gave it one star, and froze while I was typing. Don't ask me again, I can't go any lower

Best free app

Has all the selling apps in one. So anything free on OfferUp,facebook marketplace, Nextdoor app ECT.. is on this app!! 100% across the board!!!

Love it

Great stuff

Amazing resources

I didn’t want to give this a review because I would like to gatekeep this, but it’s too good not to recommend. I just don’t want you to use it around me so I can be first to the free stuff!!

Very useful but “do not disturb” on iOS needs to change

I have found this app to be very useful. For a family moving into a home, you can find pieces to fill the home until you find your perfect piece to buy. A college student would also benefit to outfit temporary housing. A gardener can also find tools and decorations. My only issue with the iOS version is that you have to pick the number of hours to not be notified when “do not disturb” on the phone is enabled. Because “do not disturb “ is enabled while driving that presents an issue if you also use “do not disturb” during your sleep time. The iOS version should not have a time associated with “do not disturb.” When the phone is in “do not disturb” mode, the app shouldn’t send notifications until “do not disturb” is off.
These are add on comments. 1. If I paid for an annual subscription, it ought to apply to both my iPhone and iPad. 2. The screen does not rotate on my iPad. All of my other open apps rotate to match the orientation of my iPad but this app doesn’t. 3. Too many advertisements for stuff that isn’t actually free. Free internet is the most prevalent.
5 Aug 2026 Too many requests to be rated, I pay for a subscription, quit bugging me to rate, especially given I reviewed already
