Great app
I have used this app for over a year now, it is very motivational getting me out of the house and helping to clean up the area. The added bonus of this app is the prizes that are available. I have been lucky to win the £1000 jackpot as well as the local monthly £100. If it’s making a difference to the local area and helping to protect the urban wildlife then I’m all for it!

Takes longer now since changes
Still enjoy this app & the idea of encouraging disposing of litter & recycling more at home is a fantastic idea & the competitive element is fun & the rewards very useful & you feel rewarded for doing the right thing. However since the new upgrade it takes much longer not so much fun when disposing of litter in a public bin getting strange looks photographing & waiting or in the rain by outside recycling bins at home. Yes you can save the photos & upload but this sometimes gets stuck & you have to delete the app loose your photos & reload app. Also one of the new features the waste/bin day reminder is great but mine reminds me just before midnight on the collection day when it has been collected hours before or I had forgotten the reminder would be too late. There also seem to be less coins it seems to if it gives you recycling advice it doesn’t tell you if it’s been submitted or not.

Give participants a fairer chance
It’s great to have an incentive to keep our parks and other outdoor spaces clean and tidy but in the 18 months I’ve spent using it despite winning lots of coins and entering lots of the different prize draws I’ve not won any prizes. I think there should be lots of smaller prizes that more participants can win because it doesn’t feel like enough people currently get awarded for their efforts.

Love the idea but the app could use some work
Amazing way to get chances to win prizes for something I was already doing - picking up litter. My app is a little bit unclear with the prizes. It’d be good if where I could see my recent transactions, if it tells you when the prize is due to be drawn. Currently I have 4 that I have entered but no idea when they’ll be drawn, if they haven’t already.
Where it says about the weekly jackpot, it doesn’t tell me when it’s due to be drawn either. Which is strange because the photos of the app on the App Store says that it should, so presuming this is just a bug?
Many times trying to upload my photos it says an error has occurred, please try again later. There’s no obvious cause to this. Sometimes I can upload photos and other times I can’t.
All in all the idea is good but the app just needs some work to be great.

Brilliant idea but app needs work
I’m so impressed by the idea of LitterLotto. Carrot, not stick - perfect! But my first foray into this app has been infuriating. 1 When creating an account, there’s an odd page about third party access to my contact details. It’s not clear if you leave the boxes ticked or unticked if, like me, you don’t want emails from ‘trusted partners’ A pop up says if you’re not sure, you can fix this in settings later. Well, you can’t because there’s no such option in settings. 2 The LitterLotto Legends page says to swipe to see winners - that doesn’t work either. 3 I tried to pass all this on to developers via the contact form, but the lime green text kept jumping about and I had to abandon it before it made me sick.
I think the idea is so good, I plan to promote the app as widely as I can. Hope you’ll fix the bugs tho.

Looking forward to using this app
Unfortunately I didn’t really know what I was doing first time around and didn’t also save photos to my phone. Would be nice if you could download the photos you have taken so I can see my before and after work, and post this on Facebook.
Great app, great prizes!
Been using this app almost from the start, now you can take multiple photos but upload them all later it’s much better as a lot of my litter picking is when I’m on the beach with no Wi-Fi.
I was actually lucky enough to win the £1,000 lotto prize a few weeks ago so I can definitely recommend using this app, getting out there and making the world a better place one piece of litter at a time!

Swapped cash reward for “coins”
My cash reward pot that I had been saving disappeared from the app once they switched to “coins”. I’ve messaged the help bot 5+ times and never received a response as to how to get the cash reward in my bank. I’ve also messaged on social media and been ignored. Pretty poor customer service and feel like I’ve just missed out on my owed cash

Great idea
As someone who tries to wait until I get near a bin to get rid of anything this app is great! Not only does it motivate more people to start binning their litter it rewards people that have been doing it for a while. Obviously the app isn’t 100% yet but no app is without fault. And the attentiveness of the support team is brilliant. The only reason it’s not five stars as I said is because there’s some minor fault in the app (crashes, freezing…) but nothing the devs aren’t working on I assume. Once those are fixed this app will be a game changer.

I won £5 already
So gave this app a go .. and in under a month won £5 already. Just for doing what I normally do anyway. What a cracking idea.. keep the community clean and win cash doing it. Give it a go folks .. it actually really works.
Update since original review I have had 2 more prizes of £5 each. You don’t win loads but you do actually win with this app
