Olio Reviews 2.493

A really great app. I love the sustainability aspect, sharing what I don’t need and giving it to someone who actually wants it. It’s great for decluttering sustainably. I ve also picked up some useful things myself for free. The map allows you to see how local it is when you are deciding to ask for something.

Brilliant app, brilliant idea.

Now totally ruined with adverts. Watching a 60 second advert after each and every request is overkill and by the time you've watch three ads the other goodies have gone. Waste of time trying to secure food now.

I can't be alone thinking you've overdone the ads, whilst you may need them, they are too long and too frequent and make the app totally unusable

Olio has really helped me through difficult times when I had no food. Apart from that since joining I have been much more aware of reducing food waste and making a positive impact. I have also passed forward and given items I no longer need to other people. Great community spirit as well as sharing and reducing waste

My experience is with the free stuff. I have benefitted from both receiving and giving. I appreciate the polite ethos and the understanding that commitment to an offer [giving or receiving] is expected.
All my transactions have been a pleasure.

IM READING PEOPLES REVIEWS ABOUT OLIO AND I THINK SOME YOU HAVE A BLOODY CHEEK TO SIT AND MOAN ABOUT ITS RUBBISH saying WHERES THE MEAT ONLY GET BREAD or SALADS (for free) YES FREE!!!!! go and buy your own meat like everyone else!!!!!!the fact that this platform is to prevent food waste and put food in belly’s regardless if it’s bread or salads! You got it it free didn’t you it’s not just one person Im seeing a lot people becoming to expectant of things !! I swear this day and age people are becoming vile and expect Too much and quick to take them collections though Im sure dont sit and eat you free toast and moan about the app that provided the means for you to eat that bread !! OLIO YOUR DOING GREAT THANKS

Bullying.
Great to start with and I did hundreds of collections but missed one and didn’t respond as my Dad died. Totally bullied by an app. No support available to talk to about things.

A absolutely fantastic idea, the app is easy to use except for the very rare occasional time that it might act up. I wish that the adverts were a bit shorter or those who have paid to not have adverts have a delay as a lot of times the really good food goes to the ones that dont have to watch the adverts. Other than that can't complain, its free food and household items!

There are some.lovely people in here really willing to help you have a few others that are absolutely horrible treat you you scum this has happend on 3 separate occasions and the person that is potentially bullying you then gets you blocked from being a olio hero? Fantastic site for what it does or what it's ment to do but the people? Don't think it's worth being spoken to in that way if I'm honnist.

What a wonderful community app. I have given things away that I no longer needed and I have acquired things that I do need. The community spirit is friendly, positive with caring sharing neighbours always willing to help with items or advice.

Good way to save food and to not spend on food. As well to share with others!

I love doing this to help the local community save money and share food

I fairly recently read about this company and have found it a great way to pass on items we no longer need. No waste, no cost and the recipients seem genuinely grateful.
A great idea.

This a brilliant app

Olio has been very helpful to me as a student, and the people are so welcoming and supportive. I am super grateful

I have only used Olio a few times but I have been very happy with it. It’s easy to use and the people who respond seem serious. I have posted items on other sites and then those who contact to say they want them don’t bother to collect or to let me know they have changed their minds.

Fantastic way to fight the war on foodwaste

Very good app helps local communities

Extremely well organised. Great way to share food that would otherwise go to waste. Brilliant 🤩

So easy to pass on items that still have use. I've handed over a vacuum cleaner, Christmas decorations and plants. Quickly collected and gone to good homes and not landfill.

I have good experience with oli and happy with this but sometimes the people request to buy something and after arrange the time they didn't respond and it is not good as might be someone else want that and we said it's not available
