### 1/5 — This app is getting worse

*2026-08-07, version 2026.7.27*

Whoever is in charge of this app is now making it more unoptimized with each update. The loading time to get into the app takes forever. Please improve it

### 3/5 — Limited to Canada Apple ID

*2026-05-10, version 2025.9.25*

My wife is unable to download the app as she just moved to Canada with another country’s Apple ID

### 2/5 — Problems if you don’t have city pickup

*2025-10-13, version 2025.9.25*

If you don’t get city pickup and want to use the app for the waste sort or info on hazmat locations, you can’t move past the “enter address” screen. I’d do this feedback in the app but I can’t get to that either!

### 1/5 — Crashes everytime on ios 12

*2025-09-08, version 2025.6.23*

Doesn’t work on ios 12. They lied. Probably misrepresented the ios version needed. Doesn’t work with ios 12

### 1/5 — Crashes everytime its opened

*2025-08-02, version 2025.6.23*

Doesn’t work. Probably misrepresented the ios version needed. Doesn’t work with ios 12

### 1/5 — New update sucks.

*2025-07-08, version 2025.6.23*

You think they would test it first before pushing it out. It’s terrible, dont too big, address cut off and not legible, crashes, non-responsive, black screens. It’s nearly useless now. Lacks everything. It’s a downgrade from the previous version. What could we expect from
Calgary, the app it just likes its government, useless.

### 5/5 — Forget me not

*2025-06-07, version 2023.4.18*

Remember being in school and getting a hint from the teacher on a test? It’s like that. Something you should know but can’t for the life of you remember when you need too? Yeah. This app is like that. If anything - you’re saving my neighbours from smelling our bins from rotting for a month, but I appreciate you.

### 5/5 — Excellent job CITY OF CALGARY

*2025-05-27, version 2023.4.18*

Love the app, I never miss a garbage or recycling day with the reminders!

### 5/5 — A Basic Necessity

*2025-05-21, version 2023.4.18*

Given the variable nature of the services provided this is a very useful tool

### 5/5 — What Goes Where

*2025-05-13, version 2023.4.18*

The reminders of what goes where always welcome!
