Currently showing data from before the change of collection. **Developer response:** It’s being worked on ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-04-25* It says it can’t find the data and then spins endlessly **Developer response:** Get in touch. Happy to help try resolve your issue. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-03-30* Terrible **Developer response:** Tremendous feedback 👏🏼 ### 1/5 — Hidden behind subscriptions *2025-03-06* Used to be decent in that you could see what was due to go out and what bins were upcoming. Now it’s all hidden behind a paywall. I’m all about paying the developer, but a one off fee or ads are ample for… a bin app. Shame, I’ll seek alternatives now! **Developer response:** You can always look out your window ### 1/5 — Unreliable Data *2024-12-27* Showed my bins as blue and brown. Council site says blue only (new schedule since a month ago). Can’t report bugs unless you sign up for ‘X’. Doesn’t get holiday changes like Christmas correct. Forget it, it’s easier and more reliable to just use the council site. **Developer response:** Cool story, brown bin isn’t a bug but ok 👌🏼 ### 1/5 — Not correct schedule for me. *2024-11-06* Tried this and the first week it is not correct. Then the developer contacted me saying I can update the schedule. The app seemed like a good idea but it’s just as easy and at least accurate to go to the Fife council page. **Developer response:** Go to settings. Hit “issue with collection dates” and I can fix it - it says it right there in the app 🤷‍♂️ ### 1/5 — Incomplete details *2024-10-14* Contacted developer via x with a problem re not displaying which bins going out on each available date. ( still no response) The Also only going out 3 weeks. I paid to hopefully get a more detailed service but this made no difference Do NOT pay for the extra service as it no difference to free service and certainly not accurate information **Developer response:** You’ve not contacted me. Please do though and I take a look at your data > don’t pay for extra service as it’s no difference Upgrading to pro unlocks multiple additional features including 4 weeks worth of collection dates and reminder notifications ### 3/5 — Decent app but not worth subscription *2025-07-24* Been using the free version for a few months and was about to pay for the reminders but I see it’s moved to a subscription model. Everybody’s doing it. While I appreciate there’s maintenance work involved in an app, I thought £5.99 (if I remember correctly) was fine for a one off payment but £12 a year is too much for me. Sorry. **Developer response:** I appreciate your feedback 👍🏼 ### 3/5 — Winter brown bin dates *2025-01-26* You are getting this wrong. For27/1/25 you say it’s blue bin. It’s blue and brown according to Fife council bin calendar. **Developer response:** Fife won’t share the winter collection dates with me so I’ve done a best guess & it appears to only be correct for half the Fife properties. ### 3/5 — Improve Notification Flexibility in the Fife Bins App *2025-01-09* The Fife Bins app is fantastic, and I’ve purchased the Pro version, but one area that really needs improvement is the notification timings. The app only allows users to choose a time between 08:00 and 22:00 for the “Remind me on bin day” feature. This should be updated to allow users to select any time they prefer, such as 06:00 on the day. The same applies to the “Remind me a day before bin day” feature. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, very appreciated. I’ll get to work on it 👍🏼 ### 3/5 — Ok during the year, unreliable over holidays *2024-12-29* Nearly missed a collection due to wrong info in app. Thought maybe I needed to update the app to fix, but not to be. Read reviews and tried developers suggestion of going to settings and notifying them of error. Only trouble with this solution is that the developer assumes everyone has a twitter account to contact them. I thought I’d give the developer a chance and try something before reviewing but when they reply “cool story” to 1 star feedback you can gauge their professionalism. I reckon a lot of people will have missed their pick ups this holiday due to app. **Developer response:** Fife council won’t give me winter collection schedule so it’s a bit of a hit and miss, about half the properties have it correct. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Goodbye and thanks for all the fish *2025-08-17* It’s been a brilliant app. Sadly I’m moving over the border to PKC and I’ll have to say goodbye. Please make a PKC app! **Developer response:** PKC are reluctant to give me any usable data but I am trying! Thanks for the feedback 😌 ### 5/5 — So good!!! *2025-05-29* ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT 🤩 **Developer response:** 😍🗑️🕺 ### 5/5 — Great🔥 *2025-04-30* Love the app, very useful for someone who forgets a lot, for the low one off price am more than happy to pay, thank you very much **Developer response:** Thanks Big John 🤘🏻 ### 5/5 — My da made this *2025-01-23* I have to rate 5 stars **Developer response:** 😍 ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-11-02* Saves checking fife council website **Developer response:** 🙏🏼 ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-10-11* This app has made life so much more streamline checking what bin it is. Super clear and easy to use. If only the council could get web and app developers who could make things this user friendly! Fingers crossed for an update for the new bin timetable and day changes. Doesn’t seem to have updated yet though and it’s only 3 days to go. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! I’m currently waiting on the new data from the council, will have it updated ASAP! ### 5/5 — Great app, very useful. *2024-10-06* Hats off to the developer for coming up with such a handy app. Navigating Fife Councils website for this info is cumbersome. This app makes it a doddle. Thank you! **Developer response:** Thanks for the great feedback! ### 5/5 — Very useful app *2024-09-18* So far this has been very helpful. Can ask if it will be updated with the new collection schedule after 14th October? **Developer response:** Yes new data should be available before 14th 👍🏼 thanks for the review! ### 5/5 — Great *2024-07-21* Super handy when I can’t remember which bin goes out! **Developer response:** Thank you 🥰 ### 4/5 — Great App *2025-02-26* Great app but sadly here in Dalgety Bay didn’t show the brown bin this week. It’s a real shame that Fife council aren’t providing the latest data **Developer response:** Brown bins go back to normal calendar on Monday so it will be back 👏 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
