Love using it to connect with people in my neighborhood. It’s got so many great things. ### 5/5 — Love to barter *2021-12-04* Best way I’ve found to trade stuff I don’t use for new stuff ### 5/5 — Been waiting for an app like this *2021-12-02* So much easier then buying-selling-buying! My neighbors and Love it ### 5/5 — Great! *2021-12-02, version 1.1.25* Awesome marketplace. Like eBay but for barter. ### 5/5 — Best barter app I’ve seen! *2021-12-02* Love being able to trade things with people in my neighborhood ### 5/5 — More than just an app *2021-07-27* I’ve been following have | need and believe they have developed a powerful platform for our times — socially, environmentally and economically. Many of us ‘have’ more stuff than we ‘need’, this is a great way to bridge the gap. This is a great use of the Internet. ### 5/5 — The world needs this! *2021-06-17* So easy to use. Love that I can donate my unwanted stuff to people who actually need it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — End of February the app is going dark *2025-02-20* Didn’t give a try apparently they are shutting down for a bit ### 1/5 — Like the idea, app needs improvement *2024-04-14* App reloads and displays intro tour when switching screens and takes too long. Blue loading icon shows and is frustrating to use. ### 1/5 — Very glitchy *2024-03-22* The Home Screen loads infinitely ### 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… ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-06-08* The only thing I can do is log into the app. I can’t click anything at all. **Developer response:** Hello - Although we look forward to having you use the HaveNeed app soon, as stated in the App Store description: "HaveNeed is currently only functional for private group members. HaveNeed will be available to the public later this year. Please sign up at HaveNeed.org". If you sign up we will let you know as soon as the app will be functional for you. ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 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! ### 5/5 — Really useful and innovative *2022-05-30* This app fills a gap between donation apps and those that are money driven that really works for me. ### 5/5 — Amazing idea *2022-05-16* Wish I would have thought of it. I hope this transforms the world!!!! ### 5/5 — Yes!! *2022-05-13* So excited to see this platform available! I love the fact that I can swap something I no longer need for something I do. This is both practical, financially savvy and potentially casts a very wide “net” to be able to find items. I also love the idea of not trashing things that have a lot of life left in them just because I am not using it anymore. This is the definition of a win/win situation. I am so looking forward to seeing this grow! ### 5/5 — Tons of potential *2022-05-08* Love the idea off this app and looks like it’s off to a good start. So much more potential than buy nothing because of the barter algorithm. Looks like it’s just getting started, but the more folks that use it, the sooner the flywheel will start spinning. ### 5/5 — Killer Barter App *2022-05-05* My friends and I use this app to trade stuff with each other and it’s super easy and convenient. Would highly recommend to everyone, especially people looking to get cool stuff without spending money. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
