### 5/5 — Great option for our community

*2025-07-23, version 3.2.27*

I love Freegle as it helps me to declutter and helps the person who takes the item Definitely a win win that stops stuff that still has useful life going to landfill

### 5/5 — Local

*2025-07-20, version 3.2.27*

Good reactivity

### 5/5 — Great way to recycle

*2025-07-09, version 3.2.26*

Don’t assume that old stuff in your loft is rubbish, someone else might have a use for it.
Great app with mostly reliable people using it.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2025-07-05, version 3.2.25*

Brilliant kind members donating free items. Reuse and recycle. Less to landfill is excellent.

### 5/5 — Does so much good

*2025-06-29, version 3.2.24*

This is one of my favourite apps, so great for getting rid of stuff that has little value but could be used by someone. Must have saved countless tonnes from going in landfill!

### 5/5 — What a great resource

*2025-06-16, version 3.2.22*

What a great resource. I have offered and received. It’s such a wonderful idea and saves items going to landfill and have a second use. I found so many things that were either very useful or just took my fancy. I’ve used things for their intended use or repurposed them. Whoever created Freegle is a genius!

### 5/5 — A fantastic service to encourage re-use

*2025-06-12, version 3.2.22*

Freegle is wonderful! It is such a good way to move things on that I don’t need, but have much use left in them . I have met some lovely people too :)

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2025-06-05, version 3.2.22*

Having a big Spring clear out. This is a great way of finding a new home for gear I no longer need.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2025-05-26, version 3.2.22*

So far all sorted, it’s easy and saves dumping stuff that is still useable.
.

### 4/5 — Get Freegling !

*2025-05-02, version 3.2.22*

Easy to give your stuff a second life.

### 5/5 — Easy and quick

*2025-04-28, version 3.2.22*

I found this site easy to use, from loading up my items to giving them away. 
Good to know people are after used items 
Highly recommend using this site.

### 5/5 — Great way of avoiding waste

*2025-04-26, version 3.2.22*

Great scheme to avoid landfill and pass things on. Have also had some fab offers over the years.

### 1/5 — elkarbalaee

*2026-07-12, version 100.0.750*

Useful app, but very bad management, the keep sending scam emails every single day, and you can’t stop that! Deleted, rest assured

### 1/5 — Flaky and difficult

*2026-07-06, version 100.0.729*

The way this app works is flaky and consistently difficult to navigate. 
It’s a laudable objective to recycle but the app implementation is shockingly bad. 
It needs a through overhaul with a mobile phone friendly interface.

### 1/5 — Negative changes

*2026-07-02, version 100.0.707*

In the last week the ability to see items available in specific groups has gone and we could only see items “nearby” without being able to set a distance radius. Earlier this week it became impossible to send messages without the app crashing. Today it’s impossible to log in either via the app or the website

### 1/5 — Can’t log back in

*2026-06-22, version 100.0.625*

Must have been logged out and now I can’t get back in. Tried changing password etc but it just fails every time.

### 1/5 — Change for change sake

*2026-02-20, version 100.0.174*

The previous version worked well, the new version/layout is just annoying. Have now uninstalled it and sticking with free cycle instead

### 1/5 — Unable to log in on app

*2025-06-22, version 3.2.24*

Since an update recently - info states site built on 18th June 2025 - it’s impossible to log in to the app. If you try for ‘support’, it takes you to the app you can’t sign into…..! Everything just freezes. If you manage to get your email address entered, then you can’t put in your password. If you choose to login with Facebook- it freezes. I deleted the app and reloaded it. Same. Please sort it out.

### 1/5 — Outstanding

*2025-04-07, version 3.2.21*

Great too deal with

### 1/5 — Used to be brilliant but is rubbish now

*2021-05-14*

I have been round and round in circles with this app. I see something someone’s requesting or giving away in my emails. 
I click the link to respond and it sends me to to sign in page for Freegle. (It used to keep you logged in but it doesn’t now. It also used to take you straight to the item you’d selected from the emails, and again it doesn’t- just the same log in page).

I go to sign in, put in my details and the “sign in to Freegle” button doesn’t respond. 

I’ve requested a new password, in case that would help. I click the link in my email and it takes me back to the sign in page again, no mention of how to reset a password. 

I have emailed the organisation through the “contact us” option. 
I believe someone has replied, as I can see a new notification bubble on the app. Except it won’t let me log in to read it.  Same story as above. 

I donated some money towards this website a few months ago as I thought it was great, but I don’t know where my money went as it seems no one has sorted out this constant glitch. 
I have the latest model of my phone and the most up to date software. The app is up to date as well. 

I will not be donating any more to this again.

**Developer response:** Apologies, we've found that there is an issue with signing in and will work on fixing it.

### 2/5 — It’s not a very good website, but it’s a worse app

*2026-01-20, version 100.0.101*

The app is essentially a less reliable version of the website. I’ve been using it for over a week and have had multiple red boxes pop up with errors that mean nothing to me. 

I’ve also had several times when I’ve opened the app and I’ve just been presented with a blank white screen. 

I love the ethos of Freegle and have given many things away over the years, but it’s back to the website for me.

### 2/5 — Happy!

*2025-10-20, version 3.2.27*

Excellent site for free stuff

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Happy that I got what I was looking for

*2026-07-22, version 100.0.750*

You’ll definitely get what you are looking for, it’s just a matter of time. Thank you to Freegle for this great platform .

### 5/5 — Outstanding

*2026-07-21, version 100.0.750*

Great too deal with

### 5/5 — Excellent app and website

*2025-11-08, version 3.2.48*

Freegle has enabled me to donate many quality items to grateful recipients.
Freegle has helped the planet as some of those items would have ended up in landfill.
The app is easy to use.

### 5/5 — Perfect handover

*2025-10-31, version 3.2.40*

Dealt with gentleman several times, always on time.

### 5/5 — Good app for clearing unwanted stuff

*2025-09-07, version 3.2.27*

I have this app for a few years now and I never had problem with people picking up unwanted stuff.

### 5/5 — Useful app

*2025-09-05, version 3.2.27*

So satisfying giving stuff a new home. Amazing what other people want. The ‘send address’ feature is nice when arranging collection so you don’t have to type it out each time.

### 5/5 — Brilliant Site!

*2025-08-20, version 3.2.27*

Amazing results in giving away things not suitable for charity shops.

### 5/5 — Freegle - A great recycling website!

*2025-08-17, version 3.2.27*

The App makes this website easy to use - have it on my iPad and phone. Developers are improving it regularly. Certainly a better site to navigate than Freecyle.

### 5/5 — Great app for recycling

*2025-08-03, version 3.2.27*

Freegle is super easy to use and the people who use it seem to be friendlier than on other similar sites. Love the way you can mark an item as ‘promised’ and note the day and time of handover so that the system can prompt you both. Highly recommend this app for sharing your unwanted ‘stuff’ with others who have a use for it.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2025-07-24, version 3.2.27*

Excellent app that saves many items from going to landfill
