Olio Omdömen 

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

Bullies on forum pushing people away. I see same miserable faces as 2 years ago whos purpose is to attack and argue with users.

Many users on app are dodgy , keeping food for themselves rather than distribute it to people. You cant report them anywhere.

One would ask, where are the principles or values of people who run this app and keep group bullies on their forums and as volunteers?

Reading other reviews its a common thing.

Your ads are mostly gambling, scam from china, and even adult erotic service ads.

I only took 1 star off as I have had dealings with a few dodgy , rude people on there requesting ( practically demanding ) the food and my address!

As a lone female I do not feel comfortable with pushy or dishonest men or demanding snappy women lol

So the 4 stars is for MOST people who have been lovely , turned up when said and followed my instructions and were polite

I am NOT a FWH as I do not drive - I just try new foods and make mistakes re buying in bulk to save money

I also like to declutter or get rid of food lurking in my freezer to make room for new food

I also give away household items

Most people are lovely like I said and the NEW VERY LOCAL INDEED FWH I have found recently ( who has become one recently ) is a DREAM!!

So very polite and pleasant and I do sometimes miss out but other times we have got a lovely few bits which come from Sainsbury's

I am a full time carer on benefits so it is such a treat to be GIFTED FOOD and Olio is a wonderful app and it really helps me out plus helps prevent food waste!

Olio is a great idea which works by giving people free food that supermarkets would send to landfill. I am lucky to have quite a few great volunteer Olio distributors in my area. I’ve also given away a few free items that are collected, so I feel am giving back to the community. In these tough times it feels good to share & avoid waste. It works really well in my area.

This is a fantastic app. I have used it to pick up good quality free food and I also have managed to declutter. The other person collects from you so no need to take it anywhere. It is good for recycling and cutting waste, saved £££.

Being heavily into recycling, I love the Ethos of this scheme, saving food from going to waste and sharing items that we no longer use with others.

We have a thriving area of food waste heroes and I feel together we are making a difference whether it be rescuing good food of collecting and redistributing food. I have learned so much from the olio community too.

Rubbish I listed free food and free bits nobody ever was interested,
Plus the food given away is always salad and bread that’s it.

I've used this app to both give away household items locally and also have appreciated receiving useful items destined for landfill which is a great idea.

However food waste is abused by Food Waste Heroes who brag about having multiple freezers full of ready meals, pastries, meat and fish.
This is why I only ever see out of date bread advertised as the best items are kept by the collectors.
This needs to be investigated as food distribution isn't going to the people intended.

I think it's great for reducing food waste and helping others.

This app is brilliant it helps reduce food waste and items that are good to be given away instead of being thrown away , you can request good quality food for free on a daily basis, it's given me the opportunity to be a volunteer were I can collect food from shops for free and offer to the community, I feel as I good in myself for doing good for people and the environment,

Absolutely fantastic company!
There’s an app where you can give and receive free food and non food items. You can also sell or buy food and non food items. You can also, and this is a fantastic idea, lend or borrow items for a set period!
It’s all about reducing waste and that’s brilliant!

Amazing helps people who need a extra hand
