Overall, pretty handy when sorting recyclables from trash at home. But to submit feedback in the app, you have to needlessly take a photo of the product that you just scanned--what's the point of that? I have done that, however, to suggest corrections for recycling instructions at our local landfill, but I have never received a reply for any of those corrections and the instructions have never been corrected. Seems like they are failing to use the app users' local knowledge.

This had been a great, informative app, but it just stopped working about 2 months ago. It logged me out and now doesn't let me log back in. The login button does nothing.

The app works pretty good giving you good info on recycling. But, when I want to redeem a reward it keeps saying something went wrong. So therefore, your points add up but you can't redeem.
