Needs some tweaking but good app

App only crashes now when I open it on my iPhone 11. I know the dev is tweeking so will change rating when fixed.

Response from developer

Hi, The goal is to keep the posts relevant and they are automatically deleted after a certain time period. As of right now, posts get deleted after 5 days. Thank you for your support.

Excellent idea

Several folks are trying to do this manually using spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups. Having something like this is immensely helpful. Itโ€™ll bring a sense of community with neighbors... something thatโ€™s increasingly missing these days.

Couple of suggestions:
1. Search feature for items
2. Non-map view for dense areas
3. In-app chat or anonymous communication so people donโ€™t have to share their addresses or phone numbers globally

Great Concept

I use this every week to look for toiletries and more. Would recommend to anyone!

This is super broken

Can not figure out how this app even works.

Response from developer

Hi, This is a community-based app through which people post where certain items/services are and what items/services they need. From your current location on the map, you should be able to see all the posts near you. An in-app chat feature is coming as soon as apple approves the update. Thank you for your support

Great idea

Great idea, but needs some work. There is no way to delete a post that was done by mistake. Also, I agree with prior comment, we need to know when available item was posted. You mentioned timestamp, but timestamp is not visible from what I can see. Relying on users to update comments with date/time of availability should not be necessary if you can display the timestamp when posted. Also, maybe a cleanup of available posts older than a certain timeframe (say few days) would allow most relevant to be displayed without clutter. Thanks for your work!

Response from developer

Hi, Thank you for your review. Posts are deleted periodically so they stay relevant. The timestamp is available in the new update, which will be ready to download very soon. Apple is taking longer than expected to review the update. Thank you for your support
