  1. 5/5The best way to give and get!

    Like Buy Nothing on Facebook, but better! Porch Swing has enabled me to give items I don’t need and get items I do need with an ease of use that is unparalleled. I can de-clutter my own home and pick up a like-new fleece for my daughter from a new-to-me neighbor’s porch in the same day! The already easy to navigate and use user interface is constantly updated to make the process of giving, getting and creating community easier. Porch Swing is an invaluable tool and I’m incredibly grateful for it!

  2. 3/5Disappointed

    So my name is Dezire’ my screen name is Dizzydezzy and I use my screen name a lot without problems. But this app has given me nothing but problems and I havnt done anything wrong. The fact that I live in Redmond and drive to bend to get freebies was a problem and my screen name was a problem so I made a new account with my name and last name I also added a photo of myself and I got blocked again I have toddlers and a 10 year old daughter so this app was super helpful especially when my sister n law introduced it to me. Ofc it’s only in bend right now and I hope it thrives so much that we are able to have it here in Redmond as well I didn’t see a problem and the fact I got blocked on both accounts is absolutely ridiculous. Please take the time to read and consider me back on the app I was not doing any harm I was also going to post some freebies for others to enjoy. Just super disappointed people were great and nice except for that one admin lady that seems to have a problems there were no problems 😓

  3. 5/5Fun, useful, still improving!

    What a lovely idea to create an app like this! I’m very excited that it’s continuing to grow and improve- since I first downloaded it, the developer has fixed bugs and continues to make it more make intuitive and useful- and there’s plenty of room to grow! The only downside is that it operates outside of networks like Facebook so we can’t scope people out before gifting (beyond the app). Would do much prefer if it had to be linked to an active FB profile for this reason (:

  4. 5/5Loving it!

    I am loving the porch swing app! I used to use a buy nothing group on Facebook, but this is even better! It has full cycle capabilities, from giving an item away, to customizing how much time you want it to be listed for, letting you know when the time is up, selecting a recipient, notifying all interested parties, helping coordinate pick up and the ability to say when it is picked up. As a previous product manager, I can say this is well thought through software!

  5. 5/5Details make this app!

    I’m loving this app as an alternative to using the FB group, but also loving the great features they’ve added - you can mark things pending, picked up, gifted or fulfilled; it notifies you when you’re selected, or not, and you can message people from within the app. Makes the Buy Nothing process even easier!
