More and more barcodes don’t match the items being recycled. Plastic trays with cardboard sleeves aren’t counted. Whilst partnering with Ocado, there is no way to recycle items that Ocado take that are only recycled at stores. Also seems that once you get to a certain number of items waiting to be recycled at store, they get deleted. As of latest update, end of May, it no longer scans barcodes and the help page on the web is not available. Can only assume it’s starting to fail As an app and now just a waste of time. ### 1/5 — Not as good as it was *2026-04-04, version 2.3.3* It was good when you could earn little rewards for recycling, but now you can’t you go into a raffle which you never win. It’s pointless using as u don’t get rewarded ### 3/5 — Used to be great! *2026-02-04, version 2.2.11* I used to really enjoy using this app not only for the financial rewards but also to see how much I was recycling. Now it’s moved to a lottery type system which was marketed to ‘reward everyone’ but in reality it just gives you tickets to a prize draw that you’re very unlikely to win, even if, like me you scan everything you recycle! I will still use it as i like to see how much waste we’re producing as a household, as a way to try and reduce it but I preferred it before it changed! ### 1/5 — Confusing & cluttered *2026-02-02, version 2.2.10* I previously used the app when it was called Bower and made the occasional £5 here or there. Since the update the design of the app has become really cluttered and confusing to navigate. I scan countless things but no longer earn coins. Apparently I may earn something else called EXPs but it’s impossible find out how many I have and what they’re actually worth. I can’t see the point of it anymore. The app sends you round in circles with no answers. The worst thing is the app claims to be helping the environment but they have AI customer service- and AI is harmful to the environment!! ### 1/5 — Dropped points *2025-12-18, version 2.2.8* The App often drops points that have been earned. More and more barcodes don’t match the items being recycled. Plastic trays with cardboard sleeves aren’t counted. Whilst partnering with Ocado, there is no way to recycle items that Ocado take that are only recycled at stores. Also seems that once you get to a certain number of items waiting to be recycled at store, they get deleted. ### 2/5 — Not as good as it was *2025-10-08, version 2.2.5* It was good when you could earn little rewards for recycling, but now you can’t you go into a raffle which you never win. So might have to stop using it as no point. ### 2/5 — Used to be good but now poor *2025-09-07, version 2.2.3* I used to enjoy this app mainly for financial rewards (I personally think the recycling aspect is not that logical as you can just put the rubbish anywhere and feels like greenwashing, the value is clearly in the data), but it's now just become super confusing how I get rewarded for scanning barcodes. Would not recommend as it just feels like a waste of time, it's probably quicker and more cost effective to just throw it away and check council websites imo ### 1/5 — Don’t both *2025-07-04, version 2.2.1* Started using the app and was happy to get £1.50 a month on average, it did help me to recycle that but more then I was already… But then the update came with the raffle, Now you basically can’t earn anything, so deleting the app ### 5/5 — Terrible update *2025-05-01, version 2.1.32* UPDATE Bower contacted me very quickly following this review and the situation was resolved very quickly once my account was back in the UK. All great again. The app was working great until this morning and now it’s like I’m a new user. So far I’ve been asked what language I use, there are no product details on anything I frequently recycle and now I’ve got to start again with adding bins and can’t recycle anything until I do - even my own bins. I’ve been using this app for over 2 years now but I’m seriously thinking of stopping using it. Please reinstate all the details that were there yesterday. It’s too time consuming for me to have to add every detail regarding material, name etc. ## Frequently asked questions about Plovie ### What does Plovie do?
