The whole UI is slightly to the right and on some menus you can’t scroll horizontally, for example on the home page the buttons at the bottom. For reference, I’m an iPhone 11, I did also have the app on my iPhone 6 and that was fine but since moving to the iPhone 11 everything seems to be a little off. - iPhone 11 User ### 3/5 — Great app but some main features not working *2021-05-04, version 2.0.7* I love this app and think it’s such a great idea, however when trying to add a new product or new packaging, the app just doesn’t want to save or let you add to how much you have recycled! Would be great to get a fix for this soon! ### 3/5 — Nice idea but not accurate *2021-04-27, version 2.0.5* I love the idea of this app but when scanning certain items I know (and have proof) my local recycling do, it tells me to throw them away! Not accurate or the point of the app! Also, when scanning glass, although I cannot put this in my recycle bin I do take it to a bottle bank but the app tells me to throw it away instead of encouraging people to use alternative recycling methods available to them! Please update!! ### 4/5 — Not too bad *2021-01-16, version 1.0.9* Every item I scan needs details to be provided, but I get the idea and eventually should ver really good ### 3/5 — Nice idea, executed badly *2021-01-14, version 1.0.9* What a great idea, however the app UI doesn’t fit on my phone’s screen so I can’t see all the information. ### 4/5 — Love it *2021-01-09, version 1.0.9* This is an amazing app. I found the creator on TikTok and have been waiting for the app to be ready. So glad it is. I love scanning items around the house and adding them if they aren’t in it already. The only downside is it doesn’t work in the USA yet, but I will be waiting. ### 4/5 — Seems Great! *2020-12-26, version 1.0.3* I downloaded the app and scanned a few things - not sure if they went on or not. I registered and attempted to add my local council area, but when I try to press ‘done’ nothing changes? I’m sure it’s just me, but it’s such a great idea! ### 5/5 — I love it *2020-12-23, version 1.0.3* Found this on tiktok, just had to download it as soon as possible. The layout is super clean, easy to use, modern too and very aesthetically pleasing. The barcode scanner is easy to use, though sometimes I do have a few problems getting it to focus, but that might just be my device. The app overall is a fantastic concept that tells you were you can recycle your plastics or not, and there’s helpful information you can read to. As an environmental activist with a very busy schedule, this makes me feel like I’m doing so much more for the world day by day and I can safely say I’m a proud user of the Horizon app Great job! ### 5/5 — What a great idea *2020-12-22, version 1.0.3* Such a great idea! It take the guess work out and get rewarded for doing the right thing which is saving our planet. ### 5/5 — genius *2020-12-17, version 1.0.2* smart idea, beautiful app! if you are having trouble with putting your password in, refresh & try again. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horizon *2024-01-01, version 2.5.3* Not easy to use, too much preamble, I just want to scan items, so deleted app ### 1/5 — Does not recognise Terracycle products *2021-03-04, version 1.2.3* Suggests that many of the Terracycle recycling is recycled by the local council which is simply not true. Not very helpful.... ### 1/5 — Good idea but poor execution *2021-01-27, version 1.1.1* I found this on tiktok and downloaded it as the idea is great. When I scanned the product it went through fine but it said my post code was invalid even though it was correct therefore making the app, for me, unusable. If the issue got rectified I’d happily change my review to 5 stars ### 1/5 — Doesn’t recognise my or any postcode *2021-01-22, version 1.1.1* I’ve just downloaded it and wanted to test it straight away then got prompted for my post code. I tried various versions of my postcode didn’t work. I even tried an old postcode and that didn’t work either. I’m sad, I was looking forward to this working. ### 1/5 — Won’t work *2021-01-17, version 1.0.9* Can’t get it to work on my IPhone 6s runnng 14.3 I get 4 screens I can scroll through but can’t do anything else. Deleted it and downloaded again. Restarted my phone after deleting but still not working. ### 2/5 — Recycling app *2024-09-17, version 3.3.2* A really great idea for an app. But it’s so buggy I can barely load it! When I have been able to load it, it recognised very few items. Hopefully this can be fixed as I would find the app really useful. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work with Scottish postcodes *2022-06-07, version 2.3.1* I’ve tried a few different postcodes in different LAs but none of them worked. Even the manual selection wouldn’t let me pick the ones I’ve tried (Edinburgh, West Lothian or Moray). Is Scotland officially supported at all? ### 2/5 — Poor UI on older devices *2021-01-13, version 1.0.9* The whole interface looks as if it’s too big to show up properly on iPhone SE and other 640p devices. Important controls are clipped off the screen making it difficult to use. Surprised Apple would let this through. ### 3/5 — It’s a fantastic idea but lags *2024-11-26, version 3.3.8* I really like the spirit of this app and want to get behind it. But I’m finding it’s been lagging and freezing a lot when trying to add products, the packaging and completing products. The only way to fix it is to force quit the app. It happens about half the time I’m using it I think. ### 3/5 — Decent but renders itself obsolete *2022-12-30, version 2.4* It’s a good app and really helpful the first handful of times using it. But once you know the materials you can recycle, I found I didn’t need it any longer. There needs to be a grander purpose of the app to keep me using it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2023-02-05, version 2.4.3* This is an amazing app that really does help with recycling and if you encounter any issues then they fix it really fast! Amazing app and cause! ### 5/5 — Lovely app to help me be a little more green. *2022-11-04, version 2.3.6* Love the way this app works. I use a lot of plastic for my food shop and it feels good to know that I can make a small difference. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2021-04-13, version 2.0.5* I love it! This is a cool way to recycle and it really helps me out! I highly recommend this app to those who want to recycle more but are unsure about how to go about it :) ### 5/5 — Incredible Idea! *2021-02-21, version 1.2.3* The app is so simple and easy to use. Everything you need is right where you expect it to be. The interface is modern and intuitive. This is honestly such a great idea to reduce waste! I literally tell everyone I meet about it! Thanks for the app! :) ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2021-01-18, version 1.0.9* From the US and it still helps to guide me with recycling. Thank you for making this! ### 5/5 — This app will go far! *2021-01-17, version 1.0.9* This is such a simple and great idea for anyone confused about their local recycling rules. As someone who moves a lot I can never keep up to date with which council accepts which materials! This app is still new but it deserves 5 stars as the general function seems to be working despite the minor errors. For example, I managed to add a second material to a biscuit packet after reloading the app, as it struggled to rescan the barcode two times in a row. Overall I can see this app going far because of its efficient way of offering information and its rewarding way of encouraging further use with the points. ### 5/5 — Brilliant Idea *2021-01-16, version 1.0.9* A friend recommended the app, now I’ve told my whole family so we all have it! Brilliant concept and makes recycling so much easier and a fun way of doing it! We are just wondering what the coins/points are for? ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2021-01-13, version 1.0.9* I downloaded this app after seeing it on Tiktok and I’m glad to say I am very pleased with it. I always try to recycle where I can but sometimes packaging is labelled in a way that makes it very hard to understand. This app has made this process ten times easier and I hope that everyone uses it! ### 5/5 — Essential Download *2020-12-28, version 1.0.4* Super convenient and useful! ‘Doing your bit’ just became a whole lot better:) ### 5/5 — Super helpful *2020-12-26, version 1.0.3* This app is something little you can use to help the environment every day and it’s really easy to use! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
