Bower
Don’t bother it’s not worth it, I have deleted it since the new update.
Dropped points
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.
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.

Not as good as it was
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
Used to be great!
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!

Confusing & cluttered
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!!
