Olio – Share More, Waste Less

Good concept and the app is well implemented for posting, discovery, and messaging. I'm glad that this app made it easy for me to give away things that I don't need anymore, but which other people would benefit from. The pop-ups to support the app are really really annoying though. I get that they need money to support the project, but it feels really frustrating to be harassed and interrupted by the ads several times a day while I'm giving away loads of stuff for free! It honestly made me want to stop using the app and just throw my stuff in the bin. I think if they just made it so that the ads to support only showed at most once every few days, this would be a big improvement. Also their bot is very annoying and there's no way to disable it as far as I can tell. This is detrimental since I want to treat messages from people as high priority and get a sound notification, but I don't want to be spammed by their bot, and there's no way for me to differentiate the two. They should use a separate notification channel for bot messages so I can make them lower priority notifications.

Utterly useless. No one in my area is posting, or at least I think that's what's going on; I can't tell because searching on a map (along with everything else!) is paywalled?? Plus you have to sign up before you can even see if your neighborhood has anything, which is a slimy policy. There are better apps out there for similar purposes.

Absolutely LOVE this app! It's a great way to get rid of your unwanted food & non-food items by giving the stuff to others in need! When I first joined I posted quite a few food items & somebody requested them, then picked them up quickly! Also have experienced getting things from others. ALL of my experiences have been with great people. Its a fantastic app!

An excellent idea in theory, but is a very bitter disappointment in practice, the thing just lags, freezes and crashes, confirmation codes don't arrive and It doesn't hold the page when you leave it to visit your inbox, we live in difficult times and an app like this could be very useful for struggling people,but in it's current state is little more than a very mean joke and very disappointing indeed.

It is a very useful app to give away food that otherwise would go to waste or objects that you have no need for. There is also the option to sell things, though they are listed for a much smaller price than if they were listed on eBay or Vinted. Also, people can ask for items they want but, obviously, cannot afford to buy.
