Blue loading icon shows and is frustrating to use. ### 1/5 — Very glitchy *2024-03-22* The Home Screen loads infinitely ### 2/5 — Has Potential *2023-12-07* Good: pictures and title design is good. If you have something to offer it’s a have. If you need something it’s a need simplicity is best! Bad: directions make it seem much more complicated than the app is. Direction page freezes Bad: default search is all… no it freezes the app. Default needs to be 100 miles for now! Extremely Bad and needs fixed!!! The need or have sends you to Apple Maps when you click on zip code and shows people’s actual houses! This is so dangerous people may get targeted, harassed, killed, etc If it’s a deal! Then people can choose to share that info default location that’s accurate should only be shared by the app user!!!!!!!!!! No exceptions!!!!!!!! I want a app like this where people can exchange stuff. Barter is awesome and contractors, doctors, lawyers, chefs, gardeners etc etc can exchange services helping people in society. It’s a historically used system that is complicated and an app like this makes finding what you need easier. Please fix the defaults keep it simple and don’t default share peoples locations town sure exact location “absolutely Not!” ### 5/5 — Awesome *2023-03-03* So far I really love the App! I’ve been waiting for the support team to get back to me to open a private group. However it’s been a couple of days. I’m not sure if anyone is going to get back to me and I have a list of people who want to participate in using the app in a private loop. ### 5/5 — Best for parents!!! *2023-01-28* We’ve got 3 kids and churn through so much stuff. this app is the answer! ### 5/5 — I’ve needed this for so long! *2022-10-06* This makes it so much easier for me to trade my stuff for other things I want. Love it! ### 5/5 — Smart idea *2022-08-02* Love how you can bring multiple people together to complete a deal. That’s always the problem with bartering and this is such a simple way to address. ### 1/5 — Requires sign in with Facebook or Apple ID *2022-08-01* I’m not giving my Apple ID and password to an app that I have no history with. No need for it, why not just use passwords?? Next… ### 5/5 — New Tech Solves Old Problem *2022-05-30* When you are cleaning out your storage space or looking to upgrade some item and don’t know what to do with the older version just use the power of this new tech to link people’s wants and needs. For anyone that deals with used stuff or wants to barter for services or even someone who wants to give it all away for free (buy nothing), this is the app! ## Frequently asked questions about HaveNeed ### What does HaveNeed do?
