It is a great idea. However, please add filters for type of objects (or categories). Now it's hard to search for specific things I need. Also, the messaging is super laggy. One user waited an hour to pick up my item and then left because I didn't respond. Actually, the messages were not delivered. Update: super lag messaging. One user only able to see my message a month later! Pls fix!

I love the concept and have been using it regularly. Will be great if there is a search function esp for non-food items. That will help speed up the pairing and gifting of items. Currently as its sorted based on location, if I need something I will have to scroll through the whole list which is very time consuming and not effective use of precious time.

I have a few suggestions you could consider adding to your interface!:-) 1. Option to "swipe away" items you no longer wish to see (even if they are still available) 2. "Favourites" list where you can access all the items you've liked - am unable to find it. 3. Option to "confirm" that item has been successfully picked up on lister's side 4. Function to upload more than one photo for thumbnails. The app is a little buggy and laggy but all in all a great initiative!!
