Date confusion

I’ve just moved into a new house and I’m trying to figure out what day to take the bins out. I searched it up on the website and it said Monday and then I downloaded the app and did the same thing and instead it said Wednesday, now I’m left confused.

Day changes not reflected in alerts

Great for giving reminders for putting out and brining in our bin. However this week our day has changed from Friday to Saturday due to Easter - but alert still goes off on Thursday night to put bins out.

Update the app but…?

Guys, I’ve opened the app and it gives a message to update. Click the link to the Apple Store, like a good citizen, and instead of an ā€œUpdateā€ button, the App Store displays an ā€œOpenā€ button which when clicked opens the app without updating it and…wait for it…displays the same update message. It’s circular. Do better!

It displays the wrong info

It’s got it completely wrong, completely missing my next delivery date and instead skipping to the one after that.
A really good example of a good idea poorly executed by a team that doesn’t have any commercial realities (eg rate payer funded).

Used to work…

It used to work but can no longer find any addresses on my street.

Simple, done well

You had one job and you did it well. App launches fast and makes it immediately obvious which bin I need to put out this week. Then it shows how the upcoming public holiday does or doesn’t affect my day. Quick, simple, efficient. A rarity these days.

This app is awesome

I like this app because the app will tell you what date to put the bin out to tie strew and they will sent the message to tell what colour bin out
And I recommend to use this app !

This app hides it’s only function behind a convoluted interface

This app hides its only useful function behind a badly designed interface. The ā€˜+’ function the only useful thing on this site is hidden. Users want the info quickly and then get off, so you hide the only tool the app provides Behind a thoroughly confusing interface. Why? This is an example of bloat at local council level where idiots are…app design by

Doesn’t work anymore

The app is broken and doesn’t work any more (ios18). As soon as you enter the address it shows an error message.

Wrong days

I checked my bins to see what bins need to go out for next week.

My bins day is Friday that was Red and Green just been.
But your app says it next then I check your website for my address and it says Yellow and Green.

Please update this

Poor Address Data

Will be able to autosuggest the address you type, but unable to find the data for it depending on how new the development is.

Good

Very good

Christchurch Bins

Function as what I expected šŸ‘šŸ»

Very Poor App

I try to be positive. The app is unusable. Worse than useless. It is buggy at best. Mostly it never loads and you end up going to the website. Total waste of money for ratepayers.

App not working

It’s been 2 weeks since this app stopped working at least in Fitzgerald Avenue.
It seems they can’t care less.
I will update how long it takes for them to fix this.

Clumsy and slow

Takes ages to load your collection data and the app is not intuitive. Not bad but needs speeding up.

Slow, unresponsive

The app is slow, unresponsive and all around just difficult to use.

Useless app

Useless app .. never works properly

Get in the bin

How can something so simple go so wrong? The only actual use for this app is to tell you what bins go out when, and it fails 1 out of 3 times you open it. The rest of the features are bureaucratic delusion - like anyone wants more interaction with a local government body. Please fix the core feature.
