This evening it’s saying that my address doesn’t exist, and I must live in a block of flats. I live in a house! What has happened to the app. This needs sorting out asap ! ### 3/5 — Does anyone actually work on this app? *2024-07-23, version 2.0.9* It’s a great idea and it’s reasonably useful but I get dates notified in triplicate (most of which have already been given) and only one of which is a new date. ### 2/5 — Used to work *2024-07-09, version 2.0.9* I can’t add any August dates to my calendar, is there an update due on the app? Currently not worth downloading. ### 3/5 — Latest update not the best *2024-07-06, version 2.0.9* This was a grand app for letting you know the bin days and saving them to your calendar. The latest version no longer saves the dates to your calendar and crashes unless you give the app FULL access to your calendar. Why it would need that access is beyond me and seems excessive. This needs sorting Still handy to see the date’s though so not all bad ### 1/5 — dates no longer import *2024-05-13, version 2.0.9* Dates no longer import to iPhones despite redownloading and deleting app, been like this for a while now. ### 3/5 — Still not saving dates to calendar!! *2024-04-29, version 2.0.9* Been a few weeks & still not fixed!! ### 1/5 — No longer works correctly *2024-04-29, version 2.0.9* This was a great app sadly no longer works won’t save to calendar any more tried with iPhone XS Max and iPhone 15 Pro Max using latest OS 17.4.1 reached out for support on the app’s support review pages - sadly no response - please fix this - it would be appreciated - it’s not just me a few users are mentioning this ### 3/5 — Bugs *2024-04-11, version 2.0.9* Brilliant app until the last week or so where it doesn’t find any calendars to update!! ### 1/5 — Not finding Calendars anymore. *2024-04-08, version 2.0.9* Used to be great. Now it can’t find my calendar to add dates of collections, so not much use. Shame. ### 3/5 — Used to be good… *2024-01-08, version 2.0.8* Used to be good and so helpful but now takes ages to search postcodes and doesn’t save dates to any calendars for some reason ! ### 2/5 — No calendar options *2023-10-02, version 2.0.8* I’ve used this app for several years with no issues, but after the most recent Apple update there is no longer any calendars available to select to add the bin dates to. Possibly to do with me choosing to only allow the app access to ‘add dates’ rather than giving it the ‘full access’ it seems to want. ### 1/5 — Useless. *2023-01-06, version 2.0.7* This was a good app. Not sure what’s changed but now doesn’t find address once postcode is entered. ### 1/5 — Bin it *2023-01-02, version 2.0.7* This was a very useful app in the beginning, but over the last 6 months or so has become very slow and that’s an understatement, takes literally hours to find your address from your postcode ### 2/5 — Poor postcode search *2022-12-16, version 2.0.7* When it works it is good but too often the postcode search does not work and therefore you can not find your address to search for the bin dates. Quite useless. ### 1/5 — What has changed? *2022-12-16, version 2.0.7* The app worked perfectly well on my iPad until the last couple of weeks, now it just sits and looks for my address and doesn’t perform. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling, but no joy. What changed? ### 1/5 — What happened? *2022-12-13, version 2.0.7* I’ve even using this app for years and wouldn’t be without it, but now I am because it’s suddenly not recognising my address, in fact, no addresses show up! It just has a thing saying “searching for address” with a cog going around and around. To say I’m upset is an understatement. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-07-28, version 2.0.10* Now says no bin dates available for my address . Has been working well until now ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2025-07-28, version 2.0.10* Was very useful now not working disappointed have tried all recommendations to fix issue but none working ### 1/5 — Has stopped working *2025-03-15, version 2.0.10* Has stopped working as of today. Says my address doesn’t exist. ### 1/5 — Not working , *2024-07-19, version 2.0.9* Looked to find my address and it doesn’t work ### 1/5 — No longer works *2024-07-18, version 2.0.9* This app used to be great, simple but effective. Now it won’t even let me select my address. Big fail. ### 1/5 — Needs improvement *2024-07-09, version 2.0.9* Calendar crashes when trying to save dates and can’t save without giving full access - no one has explained why I should have to do that so I’m not. Please send notifications as soon as you know bins won’t be emptied according to the published schedule; this will save unemptied bins left on pavements causing unnecessary obstructions for at least 3 days in the hope they’ll get emptied! Health & safety issues, certainly on my street with a school - hazardous as well as as unhealthy. ### 1/5 — Not about the app *2024-05-28, version 2.0.9* What is the actual point of adding bin days to my calendar when they don’t empty the bins, I reported a missed black bin collection for my street on the 17/5 and they said i would be contacted in four working days. Two weeks later the bins still haven’t been emptied probably due to the fact that some inconsiderate person or persons are using other people’s bins and overflowing them with everything that shouldn’t be in them including household stuff ie cushions, bedding and also using them for recycled rubbish. Unfortunately people are getting penalised for their rubbish because they’re too lazy to put out their own bin on the correct days. We have purchased out of our own pocket bin locks costing upwards of £40 to try prevent them using our bins, unfortunately on bin collection days those locks have to be removed so they can be emptied and those same inconsiderate persons are filling them up with their rubbish. We now also have because it’s been so long since emptied that people who are just passing by the area throwing all kinds of stuff in them including dog mess making them even fuller and attracting flies. I tried again to report this and I couldn’t I am unable due to my health and also unwilling to take somebody’s else’s rubbish to recycling, I only use my bins as intended but I am unable to prevent passers by and other people using them for their junk ### 1/5 — Can’t add to calendar *2024-05-27, version 2.0.9* This tells you the dates ok, but for some reason it’s started not letting me add to calendar. I contacted the developer Tom Forth about it, two emails since April and been fobbed off both times. ### 1/5 — Won’t save dates to iCal - so less than useless *2024-05-27, version 2.0.9* This App used to be great - simple but great - however the latest version won’t save dates to iPhone calendar. Just gets stuck in a “saving dates” loop possibly because it doesn’t ‘see’ any of the various available calendars anymore. Don’t understand how developers can update an App & make it worse/non functional. It’s bizarre. ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2024-05-27, version 2.0.9* Used to be great, now bin dates won’t save. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Bin there done that! *2026-01-05, version 2.0.11* The Leeds bin app has single-handedly helped my relationship. No more discussions about when the bins need to go out! Handy notifications and up-to-date, accurate data make sure our bins are always put out on time, especially when the schedule changes around bank holidays. ### 5/5 — Ugly but Useful *2024-11-04, version 2.0.10* ♡ ### 5/5 — Very useful *2023-10-20, version 2.0.8* This app is extremely useful and kudos to the creator. All it needs to be god-tier would be a widget 👍🏽 ### 5/5 — Useful app *2021-01-17* I was looking for a place to drop off my glass recyclables today and this app came in handy. Found the disposal for glass quickly and was on my way. ### 5/5 — Bincredible *2020-07-19, version 2.0.5* The App Store is littered with rubbish apps - I refuse to waste my time on any of them. This is simply the best app for bin collection in Leeds that I’ve ever used, and that is not a throw-away statement. Not to trash any of those other garbage apps out there, but if you’ve not bin using this one, you are missing out. It’s the best one at your disposal. ### 5/5 — Unfairly low mark *2020-06-17, version 2.0.5* Get it ### 5/5 — Great App *2020-05-29, version 2.0.4* This is a great simple to use app. ### 5/5 — Great App *2020-05-07, version 2.0.4* This is such a useful app and even more so with the ability to add to your calendar and the reminder to add latest collection dates. ### 5/5 — Great App *2020-01-07, version 1.9.6* What a fantastic app. Great info and there on your phone. What’s not to like ### 5/5 — Great *2019-12-27, version 1.9.6* Very useful and easy to use --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
