Hi there! I understand you’re having trouble selecting the Craigslist Free Stuff Denver site in Freebie Alerts for your free stuff alerts. Just to get a better picture, could you let me know if you see the Denver Craigslist option at all when you try to choose your site? Or is it missing entirely from the list?
Often this kind of issue can happen if the app hasn’t refreshed its site list or if there’s a temporary glitch. Here's what I recommend trying first:
1. Refresh the app or restart your device - Sometimes a quick restart can load the latest site options. 2. Check for app updates - Make sure you have the latest Freebie Alerts app version installed from the Google Play Store, as newer versions might include updated site options like Denver Craigslist. 3. Manually input the Denver Craigslist URL - If the option doesn’t appear in the list, see if the app allows you to add a custom site by inputting this URL: https://denver.craigslist.org/search/zip (this is the usual Craigslist Denver free stuff search page). 4. Clear app cache and data - On your Android 10 device, go to Settings > Apps > Freebie Alerts > Storage, then clear cache and data. Restart the app and check again. 5. Verify your location settings - Ensure Freebie Alerts has location permissions enabled, as the app tailors alert sites by your location and this could affect available options.
If after trying these steps you still can't select Denver Craigslist as a free stuff alert site, please let me know, and we can explore some advanced options or see if this might be a current limitation that requires raising to the support team.
Does that make sense? Feel free to share what you’ve tried or what you’re seeing on your screen so I can help better!
Thanks for clarifying that Craigslist isn't showing up as an option in the Freebie Alerts app. Based on what I’ve found, it looks like the app currently does not include Craigslist as a direct alert source anymore. Several users have noted that Freebie Alerts focuses on other platforms like Nextdoor, Letgo, OfferUp, and TrashNothing, but Craigslist isn’t supported within the app for alerts at this time14.
Because of this, there won’t be a setting or option inside Freebie Alerts to choose Craigslist Denver free stuff alerts. However, you can still get Craigslist notifications directly from Craigslist by setting up search alerts on their website:
2. Create an account or log in if you already have one.
3. Perform a search for free stuff with any keywords you want.
4. On the search results page, click the “Save Search” or “Create alert” option.
5. Craigslist will then email you when new free items matching your criteria are posted.
This is the best workaround to receive free stuff alerts from Craigslist since Freebie Alerts doesn’t support it directly.
If you want, I can also guide you on setting up alerts on other apps that Freebie Alerts does support, to maximize your chances of scoring free items nearby. Just let me know!
Are you satisfied with this explanation and the Craigslist alert workaround?
