### 1/5 — Cannot even log in

*2026-06-05, version 25.4.2*

I drove all the way to the deposit point then the app just won’t let me log in. Even I deleted it and re-downloaded it, still don’t work.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2026-06-05, version 25.4.2*

Can’t open the app. Deleted and reinstalled and still not working

### 1/5 — Too hard and terrible experience

*2026-03-08, version 25.4.2*

Wasted an hour trying to set up this app for something that should be so simple. Password reset emails don’t send. Not sure why there can’t just be one all for all of Vic. Terrible experience.

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2026-03-08, version 25.4.2*

Logged out constantly then unable to get back in so start another account and same thing happens. 3 accounts made with different e-addresses & given up on app. Only use the cash back method by manned recycle centres now as the machines are too often out of order or shut off mid use. Vic govt wasting $ on the unreliable app/self serve system.

### 1/5 — So dumb. Asking me to update a password on something I haven’t used in a year.

*2026-03-05, version 25.4.2*

Cmon geniuses. You really going to ask me to update my password on something I’ve not used in a year. Use ya brains. This isn’t a bank account. Who come up with this genius idea?!?

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-02-03, version 25.4.2*

Constantly signs me out between uses, despite ticking keep me signed in. Complete waste of time

### 1/5 — Logging in

*2026-01-28, version 25.4.2*

To hard, app does not stay open and password reset takes hours as the Remember Me never works

### 1/5 — Can’t use app

*2026-01-14, version 25.4.2*

Tried setting up the app on my iPhone and it doesn’t go to the login page.  Tried deleting the app and reinstalling.  Tried also to setup via my desktop.  Nothing seems to work.  I’ve now given up trying to get it to work so I’m having to deposit my containers at another site in the western suburbs using the cds west app.  Can’t understand why there is not a central app.  Or at a minimum why didn’t the use the cds west app that works well.

### 1/5 — Security overkill, to the point of useless

*2025-12-29, version 25.3.3*

The app itself works, but using it is an exercise in patience. I’m constantly being logged out and regularly forced to change my password just to do something trivial like scanning a barcode. This is a container return app, not a nuclear launch console. My banking apps are far less restrictive and somehow still manage to keep my money safe. Security is important, but this is pure overkill and makes the app extremely annoying to use. I just want to check a bottle, not pass a government clearance interview.

### 1/5 — Terrible design

*2025-12-13, version 25.3.3*

I am not be able to find the deposit unless i log into the application. However the application always log you out regularly.
