Love this app!
I’ve given away so many cool things and it’s so easy!
Better than DIY posting
So far so good! This is great and saves a ton of time arranging pickups, no shows, etc. and setting up an account with the app was no more onerous than any typical set up/account creation.
craigslist, facebook, offerup are better
I decide when my address gets released - not you. Nothing gives you the right to violate my privacy that way.
What a Service!
I almost hesitate to write this but:
I have to move soon, and this app has been a lifesaver. I found a bunch of useful things. I’ve met cool people. Right now I am in a phase of having to rely on others, generosity, but I am looking forward to the day where I can post things for people to pick up.
And I would recommend if you like this app and what it represents read the serviceberry by Robin wall Kimmer.

Wow.
My daughter told me about this app and at first I had trouble connecting with their server. Once I got it loaded, I posted 6 items in the morning and they were all claimed within the hour and picked up by the evening.
Makes giving things away easy!!
The app makes it really simple to post items and takes all the coordination overhead out of the process! It’s been a huge help for decluttering my space :)
Perfect!!!
I love Freeya!! Extremely easy to use and benefits everyone involved. 10/10!
More people should use this!
Well designed pick up system for a variety of situations - have had no problems with pick ups!
Great experience
Awesome alternative to Goodwill or Facebook Marketplace for items you no longer need in your life! Scheduled pick-ups make it so easy to pass an item along to a new home. App is intuitive and reliable.
Doesn't support my phone any more
I used to love listing stuff on this app. But today I opened it up to a cutesy little warning about an update. Here in the app store I see that the app now requires a later version of iOS than my phone supports. So I guess that's it for me. Thanks Freeya, it was fun while it lasted. I hope you make good use of all those iOS 17 specific features that the app now apparently requires.

Need a way to block people.
Love the app and the way it works. The only thing it needs is a way to block people. I’ve had three items listed and each time the same person requests a pickup and then never shows up, sometimes several times for the same item.
Improvement Needed to Save Gas & Time
In theory, Freeya is a great concept and started out strong. Added “features” -like membership so can claim pick up on multiple items, scheduling ahead & no guidelines for listers lean toward epic fail. Too many instances in which you either can’t put “pick up” but the person does NOT actually pick up, driving (using petrol) only to find it’s not there & dealing with posters that feel awful because someone else grabbed the item reserved is awkward & wastes time, energy & gas.
Better explanation of process & respect for people’s time, energy & desire to keep things out of a landfill needs some tweaking to make sure people aren’t waiting in vain or wasting gas & time.

Pay it forward again and again
This makes it so easy to declutter and connect items with people. No chatting, just a pickup window and that’s it.
Awesome App!
Love this app! I wish it was used in more cities-hopefully that’s the goal!
Free stuff! Better than social media.
Easy to use. Low tech. Nobody stealing your data or attention. What’s not to like?
So easy
You know how if you put things on Facebook free, you get a million “is this still available” messages? Freeya completely eliminates that! It’s sooo easy and straightforward.
Love the way this works
I love that you can reserve something on the app and know that it will be there when you go to pick it up. I also have given away lots of stuff on Freya and Love that only one person that reserves to pick up the item will see your address. I like I like the privacy. Also, it’s secretly satisfying when you get rid of something you have no use for and then get a nice note from somebody who needed sometimes that’s what I need to motivate myself to declutter!

Works!
Very Easy to use. Less coordination and flaking out than with Buy Nothing groups.
I like this app
I’ve been using the app for a few years now, and it gets better all the time.
Frustrating
Too restrictive to try and communicate. Only approximate location given initially. You can only unlock chat with seller after a time slot is submitted and accepted by seller to come get the item(s). Only then can you request exact location. If the seller rejects your suggested time, then you have to resubmit a time slot and try again. An item I inquired about the seller rejected the time but replied in a message a time that works for them but since they didn’t properly accept time slot in the app I can’t message them to get the actual address!
