FreecycleReviews of freecycle.org

Recently started to use Freecycle again and what a disaster the new site is! You have to log on to see messages even if you have ticked to receive them via email. Then getting to them is a run around the block. Very confusing and disappointing. But the most disturbing thing is that there is nobody on the site anymore! I used to post things and get over ten replies within minutes. Now hardly anyone for fabulous items such as PS4 TurtleBeach headset! And then the option to donate cash to Freecycle! What the hell? Will have to take things to the tip from now on. Such a shame. Whoever is behind this change should hang their heads in shame.

Awful new interface. Only get a few characters from the title displayed in the list so can't tell what it is. It only gives a few items in the list before you have to refresh to get more, then refresh again and again. Search results aren't returned in chronological order. The new interface is frustrating. Why change something that was working well, this is just update for update's sake. Take a lead from the ethos of the group. It doesn't have to be new to be good and usable. I've given up and just stick to trashnothing now.

Now I can't change my e-mail frequency settings. Get unknown error. Very near to deleting my account, but it probably won't let me do that either. Grrrr.

I haven't used Freecycle for a few years, when it's used to be good. I've been waiting over 2 days for an offer post to be approved and over a day for a moderator to respond to me. I'm doubting that my post will be approved. I don't think I'll be using Freecycle again, which is a shame because it used to be a great marketplace.

I have been having problems posting for a good while now!! Before it was a great site post things and they were snapped up immediately but since it changed I have had to change my password twice because it doesn't recognise me. And my posts sit waitng for approval for days and hey ho!.... they are never approved!! I have tried constantly to contact a moderator to no avail. People are losing out on good quality items because of this sites incompetence...

Wanted to give things away quickly - but posts fail when uploading images and then end up in 'awaiting moderator'. Tried to list a few things over past couple of weeks and wasted so much time. Finally gave up.

Just to echo most other comments, Why? The old layout was simple and fine. This new update does not work on my tablet, I find it hard to read, especially the e-mail updates. It really is truly awful, and I cannot understand what possessed anyone to change it. Please at least give us the opportunity to revert to the old layout.

Freecycle was my go to place to find things an the new website has ruined it.If you are looking its very hard to find things with apparently only 6 or so hours of posts accessible. On a mobile phone its virtually unusable. so then people dont go looking so and people dont post items to offer. Despite so many reviews saying this , there is no change. at least put back the option of using the old site!
