Reviews for Freebie Alerts: Free Stuff App

UPDATED. Already contacted you prior and after this review and your response was not satisfactory "you will get the notification as soon as we scan free items". I used to get the notifications as soon as posted. Now it is not. Enjoyed the app without any problems until recently. I started getting 32 minutes delay in notifications of free items on offer up. And now 2 minutes delay for the rest of notifications. My question is is it because I don't pay? Or are there technical issues?

Love this app! It's addictive! Wow, how great it is to have all the free stuff together on one app with nothing else! Remember, "On the Freebie App an item cannot stay, if the owner of the item requires a price that you must pay." And it's helpful that the app gives its users the control to get rid of any ad that is selling an item instead of giving it away. Best Perk... having a search bar! What an awesome yet unexpected feature.

Easy to use & connects you to people who want to get rid of stuff. I give 3 stars though for a couple reasons. First, it could be put together better. The interface, search & everything else could all be done much better & much more accurately. Second & the more important thing to me, the scams. I mean the amount of blatant scams is crazy. They rarely seem to get removed & if they do they have multiple accounts that are exactly the same just a different name. There are so many of them.

You know how you see something FREE posted but it was like 5 hours ago so there's a bunch of people already interested or it's gone? Not anymore! You'll get an alert as soon as something posts - if you want. You can add a list of keywords and only get the alerts you are looking for. Set how close to home you want to see offers. You don't have to check FB, OfferUp, NextDoor... They're here & more! NO POP UPS! Just have an ad in the middle of a listing. Its not in the way. No videos. No waiting.

This is a great app. Some people trick the app by posting items as "free" or in free categories and then putting "contact me for prices" in the description. For the most part though, it has many great opportunities with people passing on to others things they no longer want or need without the hassle of haggling over prices. Just free to whomever can get there within the parameters of givers. The only negative is items can linger for literally years if no one goes in and marks the item as sold.

Best app to use to get stuff for free! The app sends notifications through to your phone when someone posts something for free on Facebook Marketplace, NextDoor, and Offer Up. It shows you how many miles away the items are from your location, so you're able to determine if you're able or willing to drive that many miles to pick it up before you even write the people. You just click on whatever you're wanting, and it takes you to the original site the post is on so you can contact the person!

Installed and instantly found a reading chair that was really nice. I like how it combined all the different apps with a free item hit, I just wish the app itself would notify you if they respond to your request to pick up. Since it doesn't you have to watch several social accounts for potential communication. Currently I can't remember the site for the headboard. 🤔 Other than that it's great. I like it.

I'm pretty happy with this app. it doesn't seem to cause any problems on my LG Stylo and I e managed to snag a few things for free because I saw the ad right away and responded quickly. it shows free ads from Facebook Marketplace, Craig's List, etc as they are published, so there must be some lag time, but it seems fast enough to me. I've had it for probably close to 6 months now and I don't feel any need to remove it. Settings allow you to have some control over when and where you see the ads.

Update: dropping to 3 stars due to the flooding of FB marketplace "free" estimates. I hope they can figure out how to filter out these annoying posts. excellent app! Gathers items tagged "free" from Nextdoor, FB marketplace and Offerup and puts them in one place. My favorite part is the "white list" so you can receive alerts when free items pop up. I've been using this app for just over a year and was able to pick up 3 flat screen TV's for my house.

Great that this app aggregates free stuff! The more we share and reuse things like this, the less goes straight to landfill! Save money, save the planet. Save time surfing the Free sections of your favorite websites. (Keep in mind that the app pulls the posts, but doesn't update the deletion of posts. You'll find that when you click a link that no longer works or item is marked Sold. But that means you can see what kinds of things people have posted in the past.)

So far, this app seems to offer exactly what it claims to offer. There isn't much offered in my exact area, but the platform is available to anyone who chooses to access and utilize it. I go through the closest city often and the number of offers there is great. You do have to sign up for the various platforms that Freebie Alerts offers, but that is a minimal price to pay (No Cost) to have access from one static point. Just my opinion, but great job.

It's a challenge to know where to pick up said items. There is no button to easily contact the giver (one who posted the freebie item) and you have to go to the original post, which is just jumping through hoops to get said thing. Everything should be easily listed within the app. It's not. For instance it wants me to go to Facebook... I don't have Facebook. I say keep the ads there, just add more information for the person who is giving free stuff away so people can actually get the stuff.

This app is a great find & I would have given 5 stars until I started getting ads on it. It takes a bit longer to sift thru to see what I want to. That said, a couple improvements could help make it easier and more helpful. It would be nice to have a better idea of the distance between the item and my location. The actual mileage difference is significant. Also, having to use multiple apps to communicate is nice but requires joining apps I'd rather not. But, its great to give items a new home.

EVERYTHING LISTED ON THIS APP IS ABSOLUTELY 110% FREE!!!! Now, I have run into a few that slipped through the cracks, which are normally businesses trying to get customers or ppl. parting out cars. Ɓut hey, nobody's perfect. You can't catch 'em all every time. Overall, I'd give it 4/ 5. like how i can set the area i want to look in, & it doesn't show anything outside of where i want to travel to for pickup! It does freeze up sometimes, tho n has to be refreshed, but then, it's good to go again!

I love this app, it'll be very handy in the future, my only gripe is that there should be a rule for individuals to add their addresses in. It's frustrating when a good item, a short distance away, becomes a goose chase. I also understand that this app is connected to multiple, but a message feature strictly for Freebie, would also make things handier, instead of jumping back and forth, and possibly losing out on a good item, or haul. It's still with it.

As someone who used to do "trash picking" as a hobby (I hate that term, but in college neighborhoods it's amazing how many valuable items you can usurp!), I think this app is great! Every single one of the hundreds of items I listed on my 'white list' has gotten at least one hit. Everything from first aid kits, furniture for my apartment, crochet supplies, fully functional pianos, electronics, accessories, new clothing, kitchen supplies, beautiful artwork, books,....ANYTHING. all nearby!

a lot of the stuff is not free, it diverts you to other sites where you have to pay for items, and it's not updated. There's stuff on there from 7 months ago. Whoever manages this site is doing a poor job at taking down old offers or having a system if it's still available. People advertise several times for the same product. Definitely needs a total overhaul of how the site is set up. Only keep items that ARE FOR FREE ALLOWED A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF WEEKS TO ADVERTISE. THEN DELETE THEIR OFFER.

Pretty awesome lil app in this one. I've found myself about 3 free items that I just so happened to have had been in need of. And probably found at least 10 free items that I not only didn't need but items that I never realized how much it was that they were actually needed hahah. My girlfriend has brought back an ungodly amount of stuffs n things also ofc. Anyways, her and I both love the app and enjoy scrolling through it all. It reminds us of going to a yard sale together but better!

I have push notifications turned on. I also have whitelist with certain words that I want notifications for. Lately, it seems to be working perfectly, and I'm only notified for things I might actually want! No more spam! The app has helped me find a great many useful things for free. I have also listed things, and they have mysteriously disappeared from the end of my driveway before trash pick up. I love being able to repurpose and rehome items.

downloaded the app. first time that I opened it had a window that said finish setting up your account. so I tapped it. had me put in my debit card number says it would not charge me just wanted to verify me. but in actuality I was charged $34.79 from blufitt. definitely need better quality control on advertisers. and misleading advertising. I have to wait for the charge to go completely through before I can dispute it with my bank.
