Description

Been using Free Food Alert for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that sends you push notifications whenever there’s free food available on your college campus. Pretty solid if you’re always on the hunt for free grub.

Here’s what you do: you just set your location and preferences, and the app will alert you whenever something pops up. There’s also a feed where you can see all the current food events. And you can even add your own events if you’re organizing something. Took me a while to figure that part out but it’s a nice feature.

Look, if you’re into saving money and eating for free, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – sometimes the notifications are late or the info is outdated – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you’re a broke college kid like me.

Editor Opinion

So here's my honest take on Free Food Alert. I've tested a bunch of campus apps and this one's pretty solid. The core functionality works well - the notifications are usually accurate and timely. I like that it's not just a feed, you can actually get alerts pushed to your phone. The user interface is clean and easy to use too. But it's not without its issues. The app can get a little glitchy at times and the database of food events isn't always up-to-date. And the ads can get annoying if you don't pay. Overall though, it's a really useful app if you want to save money on food.

I can't even get past the language screen anymore. I recently downloaded the app to find opportunities near my campus to get food, but it has NEVER worked. Completely useless...
