User reviews

Can’t wait for this to take off

Great app for bartering, the only thing I’d change is to maybe be more specific about what you can barter, there’s a lot of people bartering “skills” that aren’t really skills at all, ie having a conversation or making a playlist.

Very cool concept, still cooking

Love the idea, and I can definitely see this taking off. Currently it’s a bit buggy and the community is fairly small so if you’re in a more rural area you’ll of course be more limited. But I definitely hope the community grows and that the app continues to get updates, I’ve already started working on some trades I got after having it for just a day! If you have stuff you’re willing to trade or a skill you wanna share definitely join the app!

Just what we need right now

Such a delight, to flip through different offerings, come up with your own ways to help people, and just meet real folks. An eco/anarcho/punk/grandpacore craigslist. Love it. Collaborative and fun.

A great idea

I just deleted my account and the app, not because I don’t see the vision, but because of the user base. Everyone seems very young, 15-18, and the majority of trades are for “friends” “penpals” or “playlist making”. It’s cute but it’s not useful. Theres no one on here offering something I’d trade my leaf blower and end tables for. I’ll come back in a few months when the user base has grown to house more people and hopefully actual adults. The age limit for the app should be raised if this is to be taken seriously as a bartering platform.

So refreshing and inspiring!!!

I actually feel good about being on a social app!! It’s such a rare feeling. I am so into this idea and concept, truly something new and exciting!!! I did want to list some bugs I’ve been having. Whenever I open the app it appears empty at first til I refresh. Also I had 2 notifs pop up but I can’t see them when I go to trade —> proposals. On the proposals page there’s an empty space where it seems there should be a notification. Just mentioning so you know! I don’t have insta to DM you. I believe it you and what you’re doing!! Thank you!
