### 2/5 — Something not Right!!!

*2025-08-25*

This is a useful app when it functions properly, but I’ve noticed an issue: the button to add dates to my phone calendar has disappeared. Previously, the app only required permission to write to the calendar. Now, however, it requests full access to my calendar, which includes sensitive information such as medical appointments and banking reminders.

Could you please clarify why full access is necessary? Would it be possible to maintain the functionality with basic write, only access instead, without requiring the ability to read all calendar data?

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-04-18*

Have clicked onto the app deleted it re-loaded it and all I get is a blank screen

### 1/5 — Nice app but have problem with 1am alarm calls

*2023-08-09*

I like the app.  I have it set for 5pm the day before bin day then 7am on bin day.
But due to some wag coding to set the reminders at 1am (not every time seems random) I will be uninstalling.

### 4/5 — why

*2023-03-15*

it's all online anyway the calendar thing is good but it's an app for only bins in Luton, when I open it half the screen doesn't even work and it doesn't save my stuff however pretty handy I can't lie.

I mean the app logo is a huge L, represents Luton well.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2021-02-15*

Don’t know why all neg reviews- it’s a good app.

### 3/5 — Needs improvement

*2018-11-06*

Saving to calendar is good idea, but sometimes i just want to open the app and see what bins are being collected the next day; not work out what the day is today, then go through the next few weeks of bin information and work out which bin i have to put out.
Open app - see at a glance what bin is today - done!

### 5/5 — Good

Crap
