Exacting App
Essential
It’s easy to use and does everything I could want. One request? More icons or ability to add custom icons. For example I have 2 different “recycling” schedules but there’s only really one applicable icon for both of them (luckily I can make the colours different).
Superb
Simple and really helpful
Become the streets binfluencer!
After downloading it takes a few minutes to set up and voila, no more looking at ragged pieces of paper on a notice board or waiting for neighbours to put out their bin.
Now, I have become the “binfluencer” on the street as I won’t forget a collection again.
Thanks for a great and simple app that just works.

Bin Collection calendar perfection
An essential tool
Great utility for busy people. I use it every week.
Perfection that keeps improving
The App soon improved and did what I needed, and more. I would be lost without it now. It's so much easier having a purpose made App than lots of entries in Calendar that take the focus away from other things.
Fixed, widgets appeared after a reboot.
Update: I noticed the app wasn’t appearing in App Library so I rebooted and it’s resolved the widget issue. Blaming iOS rather than this app.
Best bin alert by far
Bin Day Alert
I like it
Top rate
Bin day sorted
I originally purchased it whilst on a bullet train in China, the app size being so small was the first thing I was impressed with, this guy is a good coder and hasn't bloated up the app with needless code/graphics.
I was originally stuck on how to setup the timings of my 3 bins but the developer (Geoff via email) helped me understand my own bin schedule (now that is above and beyond and I am very grateful).
It's got alerts for my phone and watch and here's the thing it does what it says on the tin, reliable and just works.
As a request It would be great for the app icon to be the colour of my Bin when the alert arrives.
Fantastic app worth the money IMO.
Response from developer
Thanks for the great review; I'm glad you are finding the app useful. The app's icon is shown in notifications so I can't vary that depending on which bin schedule the notification is for. In fact, a single notification could be referring to multiple bin schedules with different icons/colours. More recent iOS versions do allow developers to provide rich notification content, so there's maybe something I could do there to improve things. I've added it to my todo list to investigate further.
Simple et efficace
A must have!
Very basic app
Response from developer
The app is designed to remind you when to put out your bins for collection and which type(s) of bins are due. In my opinion, the only thing that matters is when the next collection date is for each schedule. A calendar view would be a lot of work and add no real value to the app. Inputting schedules is a little complex because the app supports such a wide variety of repeating schedules. Some of the configuration questions depend on the answers to other questions. This only needs to be done once. Like most people, I think my time and effort has value and I don't work for free. The app is paid because it would make no sense to have ads in an app you almost never need to open (since it's driven off notifications). The app has a Today Widget, a Watch App and custom Siri shortcuts (e.g. "Hey Siri, when is the next bin day"). If you have trouble remembering when to put bins out or whether this week is recycling or general waste, I think a single one-off payment of a few pounds is a small price to pay for an app that will help you every week for many years to come. If you disagree, you can delete the app and ask Apple for a refund.
Most useful app on my phone

Thanks for that. Tell your friends!
