### 2/5 — Can’t see me!

*2026-07-21, version 3.2.1*

I’ve returned bottles twice for Woolworths vouchers. On the website it’s saying I haven’t made any returns!

### 2/5 — Digital wallet failure

*2025-02-20, version 3.1.1*

Even though the upstairs to download so that your member number goes into the digital wallet on your phone it doesn’t work… I guess we have to wait some months until they sort themselves out and get it right?

### 1/5 — Can you guys fix those bugs?

*2023-04-13, version 2.0.7*

Low performance on login.
PayPal cannot be linked.
These bugs have been reported months ago. Just fix it!!!

### 1/5 — Can’t login

*2023-04-07, version 2.0.7*

I’ve tried all the normal stuff, delete and reinstall, close and reopen, reboot phone and it just does nothing when the correct id and password is used. Works on the website, app fails. Seems pointless.

### 1/5 — Faulty app

*2023-04-05, version 2.0.7*

Unable to log in. Don’t get a failed log in message or anything, just won’t log in at all. Luckily they accept your mobile number when you try to deposit cans/bottles or the whole scheme would be a complete waste of time and effort🤷‍♀️

### 1/5 — Not an incentive to use

*2023-03-04, version 2.0.7*

Difficult to use - constantly prompting to log in and then doesn’t. 

Little or no communication about change to ways for people to make donations to community group

### 1/5 — The app still does not work

*2023-02-08, version 2.0.7*

I have had this app for over a year and it still does not let me log in. 
I have to log in through the webpage in a browser.

### 1/5 — 🤔🤔

*2023-01-28, version 2.0.7*

After using the app for several months back in 2021, my session timed out.
I tried to login again and it doesn’t recognise my login details. 
I have reset my password several times and deleted the app reinstalled it. Nothing worked (iPhone XS).
I now just upgraded to the iPhone 14. still having the same problem, even after resetting my password.🤷‍♂️

PS Support wasn’t much help before either, and my login details work perfectly fine on the website, go figure

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-01-22, version 2.0.7*

Doesn’t even let me log in. Deleted and reinstalled many times. Ridiculous

### 1/5 — When is the update?

*2023-01-05, version 2.0.7*

This app is terrible. Never works when you need it to. I can’t even log in anymore! Apparently an update was coming in July, where is it?

### 2/5 — Not easy to navigate and some aspects offered don’t work

*2022-12-26, version 2.0.7*

I have found the App slightly pointless.

I have my card with my number in my phone wallet but I haven’t been able to get “the card’s” barcode to scan at all although it may be different states in other states. (I’m in Qld)

In the multiple times I’ve given in containers this has been a frustration.

The ‘card’ however bring up my scheme number easily so I can type it in when returning and that is helpful.

I have received an email about the trial of wine and spirit bottles being returned which I am very much in favour of, however once I accessed it on the App it glitched and I could not access it. 

I feel like this App has a lot of potential however it needs a lot of work to be useful.

### 1/5 — Can’t even login

*2022-12-21, version 2.0.7*

If the company is this bad at IT (haven’t been able to log in for 5 days), then it raises a lot of questions. I am going to use another company instead

### 1/5 — Please make an app for WA!

*2022-11-30, version 2.0.7*

Can you please make an app for WA!

### 1/5 — Can’t login

*2022-11-24, version 2.0.7*

Never been able to log in, I can log in on the web, when entering my password into the app, and hit hit ‘Login’, nothing happens?

### 2/5 — Scanner

*2022-11-20, version 2.0.7*

I’m unable to scan barcodes. Also is it ok to crush cans as I’m getting mixed reviews.

### 1/5 — Constant Error

*2026-07-02, version 3.2.1*

App won’t open. Try Again error is all that will come up.

### 1/5 — Bad container home collect

*2026-04-24, version 3.2.1*

Never come and pick up the containers, it already been many times though. I have waited all day, I think it might be lack of drivers. Sigh!!

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2025-10-03, version 3.1.2*

Tried logging on and prompt came up saying “Something is wrong” but doesn’t provide any advice on how to fix it. Very annoying!

### 1/5 — Next to useless

*2025-08-02, version 3.1.2*

Waste of time. Can’t find anything in a list of hundreds of charities that aren’t in alphabetical order!

### 1/5 — Log in attempt failed

*2025-02-12, version 3.1.1*

Even though the mail and password is correct ,still showing error massage. And after couple of trying your account will block.

Account history entirely missing other than my latest return?

### 1/5 — Not working a lot of the time

*2024-12-09, version 3.1.1*

The app doesn’t seem to work a lot of the time (ie. returns history is not visible and most recent refunds not updated).

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2024-08-17, version 3.1.1*

The app is incomplete and it takes you to the website. It doesn't worth losing time downloading this useless app.

### 1/5 — Horrible app. So hard to use.

*2024-05-26, version 3.1.0*

Not user friendly and even can’t send emails to retrieve passwords

### 1/5 — Login fail

*2023-04-17, version 2.0.7*

Can’t even click login button to submit credentials, hopeless, don’t bother

### 5/5 — Something Went Wrong; An unknown error occurred

*2023-11-16, version 3.0.3*

It only showing an error message on startup. Nothing else. No buttons, no place to type anything, just the error message saying an unknown error occurred.

Edit: ok was probably an outage, and it seems to working now. hope it was a one off

### 5/5 — Much better app

*2023-06-04, version 3.0.2*

So much easier to use when returning my containers. I like seeing how much I’ve returned and how much pocket money my kids have earned as a result!

### 5/5 — New app

*2023-06-01, version 3.0.2*

and works just so much better

### 5/5 — Best app

*2022-11-08, version 2.0.7*

Best app and very easy to use. Staff are so helpful

### 5/5 — Case sensitive

*2020-06-26*

Failed to login for a few days and I suddenly see the login page saying the login details are case sensitive.
Once I log on to the website I realized that my email in their system actually has a capital letter at the front.
So maybe worth trying logon to the website (not case sensitive) to check if any letter of your email in their system has a capital letter.

**Developer response:** Hi Art549. Thanks for leaving this review to help others! You're correct that the email is case-sensitive, based on what was initially registered in the system. We're reviewing this as part of the login process, and looking to make some changes for future versions based on customer feedback. Thanks again for being part of the change! The Containers for Change team.

### 5/5 — Tap “Login” not “Go”

*2020-06-25*

Also couldn’t get in so checked my login details on the Containers for Change website. 
Was able to log in there so tried the app again but scrolled down the login button rather than using the “Go” option on the keyboard which then logged in successfully - give that a try.

**Developer response:** Hi wippet83. Sorry to hear you’ve had a negative experience with the app, but glad you were able to login successfully in the end. We’ve made some updates to the login process based on customer feedback which should help resolve any issues. Please be aware that logins are case sensitive. If you would like to discuss further, please contact our customer service team on 13 42 42. Thanks for being part of the change! The Containers for Change team.

### 4/5 — Login button does nothing

*2022-03-09*

App runs but can’t use it for anything. Can tap the login button as many times as I like and nothing happens.

Updated and same thing, although the problem is that the login button doesn’t work until you actually type in the password field. Having an app enter my credentials (Bitwarden) doesn’t trigger that event. I have to enter a char then backspace it to login.
Changed rating.

**Developer response:** Hey there, would you be able to update your app to the latest version? This should help but please let us know if it doesn't and we'll investigate further.

### 3/5 — Solved: how to login

*2023-02-16, version 2.0.7*

I wasn’t able to login like some users. This happens when your login details are filled automatically by your phone. The trick is to delete the last letter from your email address and type it back manually. You should be able to login after that.

### 3/5 — Can’t log in using a password manager

*2022-04-20, version 2.0.5*

I use LastPass to manage my passwords and this app won’t let me log in. If I manually type in my email and password it works but honestly just fix it. Haven’t done anything else on the app yet.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-07-06*

It was working a month ago, then requested an update. Which was automatically done by my phone. It now does not work saying it needs an upgrade. Going around in circles…. Just updated again today after your reply and seems to be working. Thanks

**Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for reaching out! Two updates were made recently. Please let us know if you're having troubles when you're working off the most up-to-date version (V 1.8.5) by calling on 13 42 42 so we can help!
