No one has responded to my enquiry submitted via the app about the problem. ### 1/5 — Great App *2024-05-03, version 2023.4.27* I love the App, sure helps to remind me when to put out my Bins. ### 1/5 — App is just for reminders, all info sends you to a website! *2023-06-15, version 2023.4.27* Not worth the space on my phone. The image was misleading, I thought I could scan items to know if they could be recycled. Now that would be an app worth having! ### 3/5 — Why tho? *2023-09-25, version 2023.4.27* The email system worked perfectly for years. So why was this app even developed?
