### 2/5 — really bad bugs

*2023-12-26, version 6.2.0*

just downloaded and really like the concept but I literally can’t use it because every time I buzz it closes the app

### 2/5 — Dead app

*2023-12-10, version 6.2.0*

No more monthly challenges, and actions haven’t been added or updated. No one seems to be using it anymore. It was fun while it lasted.

### 4/5 — Good App

*2022-11-28, version 6.2.0*

This app was a good way to better yourself and your knowledge of what you do right and wrong. I really like how it includes many options to be sustainable in your daily life. 10/10

### 1/5 — Faulty app

*2022-01-08, version 6.1.9*

I hate this app. I used to love it, but after winning one of their challenges I emailed them to receive my prize (which the instructions say to do) and they never sent my prize or got in touch with me.

### 4/5 — Good, but has gaps

*2020-12-10, version 4.2.11*

I love the concept of this app and plan to use it with students to encourage sustainable living in a way that speaks their language of tech and competition, but I feel it has some holes. 

Although the areas present on here have very comprehensive lists, I feel that a section for clothing could be useful. The textile industry is the third largest polluter in the world. Not all of that is carbon (much is chemical and physical waste), but I feel it could be added here. Have badges for shopping second hand, passing on trendy items in favour of wearing out old items, repairing clothing, extending life cycles of worn out clothes by cutting them up to be reusable rags to replace paper towel, wearing an item of clothing 40+ times, buying sustainable fibres (organic cotton, bamboo, linen, hemp, recycled polyester...), etc.

### 4/5 — Needs work but great potential

*2020-11-22, version 4.2.11*

This is an app filled with potential, however, it could do with some work. When asked to log in, there are no slide titles, instead saying ‘Slideshow page 0 subtitle’ etc.

Buttons, such as the logout one, seem incomplete. The button reads:

‘Are You Sure
Settings Logout NO Credentials Alert Message’ 
The two options given are ‘Settings Logout Alert Accept Button’ and ‘Settings Logout Alert Reject Button’. 

Overall, I think this app is filled with potential, but has a handful of unprofessional errors that, with review, could make this app an incredibly useful tool in the fight against environmental destruction.

### 4/5 — Really great with a couple glitches

*2020-09-02, version 4.2.11*

I really love this app, it’s really fun to catalogue my activities and discover new way to be sustainable. Sometimes the titles can be a bit glitchy, and it’s quite focussed on the northern hemisphere it terms of seasons, but other than that I’m really enjoying it!

### 5/5 — Fun!

*2020-08-10, version 4.2.11*

I really like seeing an estimated tally of how much of a difference buzzed actions save over time. The challenges can be fun too. It’s great to see others and the ideas they come up with. I definitely recommend!

I do have one suggestion: can the developers update the book and movie options? There are so many great books and films that are educational and inspiring about the environment and sustainability. Please add more to the lists for each action, thanks!

### 5/5 — Great

*2020-05-11, version 4.2.11*

I would recommend this app to so many people it is really helpful and I feel as if I am doing something for the planet and people recognise it.

### 3/5 — Superficial

*2020-01-13, version 4.2.10*

I LOVE that people are making lifestyle changes that benefit the environment. Unfortunately, the actions I see people doing the most often are superficial things that even if EVERYBODY did, we would still be facing some of the same problems with the environment that we’re facing now. So, I have some ideas. 

1)However, many of these things require you to buy something, which can be very counter productive (CO2 emissions from the gathering of materials, transportation of materials, labor- are these workers getting fair pay or are they children or slaves, no I’m not exaggerating- transportation to store, and so on). Will this item be used enough times that the waste and emissions it saves will be greater than what was needed to be created? Or will it be throw away when it goes out of style? 

2) Also, I would love to see things like choosing to repurpose or reuse something rather than throwing it away when it breaks and buying another new thing. Or, choosing to buy something used, such as clothes, furniture, and appliances, rather than new. This actually has quite a large impact

3) I would like to see that some of the harder, and more impactful things give more points than simply filling up you hydro flask (e.g. patching holes in the ceiling/ window, creating greywater recycling system, buying local produce, choosing second hand, setting up a compost, etc). I would like this because many people are getting points for things they would do anyways (which isn’t a bad thing!), but the people who are putting more time and effort are getting the same, if not less, points than those who are buzzing nothing except their reusable water bottle, silverware (that they probably bought new for really cheap online, I wonder who made that for you?), and riding the bus to school. I’m not saying that these are bad things to do (except the unconscious consumerism), but should these people who are only doing the same thing over and over again be getting more points than people who are branching out and trying new things. Not to diss anyone but.....

4) I know some people would not use this, but personally, I would love to be able to track my negative impact as well to get a perspective of net impact, if it’s positive or negative. These would be things like buying something new that was probably cheaper than it should’ve been (as opposed to second hand or fair trade), tracking waste that I produce, every time I charge my phone/computer/ etc since that uses lots of energy, adding gas to my car, eating meat (measures by type and ounces/ grams), cheese, or eggs, forgetting my reusable bag/ cup/ silverware/ etc.. A little bit like having your own earth overshoot day

5) I think it would be cool if there was a section that taught about conscious consumerism, activism, the waste cycle, from production to landfill, fair trade, organic farming practices, palm oil and deforestation, renewable energy, fossil fuels, and the list goes on! 
******I believe that educating people is the biggest impact that ANY of us can have!!!******

Anyways, this was a veeeeeeeerrrrrry long review, but I hope the developers see this and continue to improve the app. This is a GREAT app idea, but has room for improvement, just like all of us!!!
