User Reviews

Reviews praise BuyNothing's core idea and its community focus, noting it can be a helpful local gifting platform. However, repeated crashes, login/authentication problems, and consistent performance issues after updates dominate user feedback. Many users report being stuck on startup screens, lost access to accounts, and unreliable notifications that hamper interaction. While some users see improvements and value the service, the current experience is frequently unstable and not user-friendly, causing frustration and hesitation about continuing subscriptions. The main asks are stability, reliable sign-in, smoother UI, and trustworthy notifications.

Pros

Great concept for local gifting and sustainable community sharing.
Helpful and valuable for giving and receiving items within the neighborhood.
Strong community support; people helping each other.
Some reviewers note improvements and progress in newer versions.
Overall potential as a local exchange platform; appreciated for the mission.

Cons

Frequent crashes and the app won't open, spinning wheel, or black screen.
Login/authentication problems persist (blocked accounts, constant logouts, sign-in failures).
Major UX/UI and performance regressions after updates; not intuitive and laggy.
Unreliable notifications (duplicates, missed responses) and difficulty opening messages.
General instability affecting posts, comments, loading times, and media loading.

So I used the app for the first time in awhile and it won’t let me change my location at all, I went everywhere and it’s not even an option unless I upgrade to premium which sucks because I moved across the country. Idk if it’s a me problem but no matter what I clicked or did it wouldn’t let me.

I like BuyNothing for the concept, but the poor functionality of the app is a deterrent and makes me re-delete it. Idk why it constantly cant find a login. The app has login failed for every login option and isnt sending email codes. Yet browser works fine. In fact, this started happening when I went to screen record tapping 15-20 times to open anything listing. I cant ever see the text im typing. The text box doesnt exist. Impossible to edit. So if you tap to try and send your comment, sometimes you tap away. Its just awful. On Iphone 14.
