Not very helpful. Please add the ability to choose your location. Useless without. ### 2/5 — Dark mode is not supported *2020-06-29, version 3.2.1* Can’t see all the locations when you have dark mode on. ### 1/5 — Thelma *2020-06-15, version 3.1.0* Couldn’t find the info I was looking for - deleting it. ### 1/5 — Crashing *2020-05-30, version 3.1.0* Crashes every time I try and open it. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t scale to settings *2020-04-26, version 2.0.6* App is not readable on my iphone because I have large font set and it won’t scale to settings. Pretty basic programming function. Too bad. ### 1/5 — AWFUL *2020-02-08, version 2.0.6* I would give it a 0 It is really bad ### 3/5 — Useful but... *2020-01-08, version 2.0.6* Location services must be on for this app or it crashes right away. Useful to find locations for recycling most materials. That’s all it does. No search but a reasonable category system for finding materials. ### 1/5 — dated, not useful or intuitive *2019-09-30, version 2.0.6* this app hasn’t been updated in more than a year. lots of new products and learning have since been learnt however not applicable, searchable- the is no search bar engine. this is not a real time, relevant app. ### 1/5 — Not informative at all *2019-09-14, version 2.0.6* Hardly has any categories. Needs a lot of work. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2019-08-28, version 2.0.6* Each time I tried to find where to take something it crashed. Good concept, useless application. ### 1/5 — Recyclepedia crashes! *2019-08-01, version 2.0.6* I had location services enabled but the app. repeatedly crashed. I trashed it, maybe you’ll have better luck. Good idea though! ### 1/5 — Does not work *2019-06-23, version 2.0.6* Crashes ever time you select an item to recycle. ### 1/5 — Not enough locations? *2019-04-15, version 2.0.6* There’s something wrong with the locations on this app- it tells me to recycle glass in sechelt and I live in Vancouver. I know there are closer recycling stations. Limited usefulness. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not working! *2025-07-06, version 3.3.3* Tried repeatedly and just gives and error and says try again later.

Thus, you must have location services enabled for it to work. ### 3/5 — Better search *2020-10-09, version 3.2.2* Some of the item descriptions are to literal. Makes it difficult to search. I searched for “gas cylinders” eventually found it under “pressurized cylinders”. ### 3/5 — dark mode doesn't work. *2020-05-15, version 3.1.0* Font is black as well as bg --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
