Bin-Ovation

Great app, shame the reminders dont remind u which bin is due to go out! Its so easy to use, if only the 'automatic' reminders would actually work, then this would be 5 stars!

I live in bt18 and have no problems with this app. It states clearly that it's only available in northern ireland - why don't people read the app information before criticising. Nice app, does what it says on the tin.

Hi Michael thanks for your response. The former Carrickfergus council that covered bt387jw is now Mid and East Antrim Borough Council not Banbridge and Craigavon Council could you please update the app. Many thanks

I downloaded this app from a link on Belfast City Council's site. It has really good info and tips on what can be recycled in each bin, and I discovered a lot of stuff that I was putting in general waste that could be re-used. The first time I opened the app it only gave me bins under the "Which Bin?" section that I didn't have. I was going to be really negative but the next time I opened the app it had swipe options to view info about the recycle boxes I do have. My remaining gripe is about the reminders section of the app. Having to manually look up the collection dates for my street and enter them kinda defeats the purpose of the app. I might as well just look them up and add them as reminders to my Outlook calendar. Given that I need to grant the app access to my location and phone info I'd expect that it should use that info to scrape bin collection dates from my council and set up the reminders for me.

Bt38 is mid/east Antrim... Which isn't even in the list... Useless to me....

Please add Down Council, they just distributed brown bins last week.

Calendar stops at May

Straightforward and handy

Doesn't work for my postcode (BT18) for some reason, so not much use

Not much use, only available In northern Island.

The app is great, but for some reason I'm having problems downloading the bin collection PDF...

Great app

Easy to use

Changed my review based on good communication from Devs explaining they are expanding into more regions in 2017. However can't yet rate higher until my region is included and makes the app useful to me. (Original review) Only for Northern Ireland? Why not mention in the description, that is just stupid. Come on guys you go to all this effort then make rookie mistakes.

Really Useful app! - icon a bit fussy but easy fixed. Maybe if the search feature for items can't find the item there should be the ability to submit it for inclusion.

Although this is for Northern Ireland only, even though I live in England I think this is a well thought out and useful app. Would love the developer to extend the reach of this app to the rest of the UK - definitely give it five stars then!

Not much use if you live elsewhere.

Works really well. Timely reminders and links to holiday arrangements and local recycling information

Could not find my address. So will wait to see if this is fixed otherwise will be deleting this app.

Thank you very much for this app! It's really handy at reminding me what bins to put out, as well as being able to check what goes in each colour. The only issue I'm having is that the notifications stop working after a few weeks and I have to uninstall and reinstall it. Hopefully this is a bug that can be fixed.

If it could be installed on my SD card instead of in my phones internal memory I would have given this app 5 stars. As it is it hogs over 20MB of scarce phone memory and cannot be justified being retained.

No use

The information provided is excellent and has helped me get the most out of my recycling. The main draw back are the reminders which don't do anything. They don't go off when they are supposed to or update. Other than that a fantastic info app.

I really hoped I would be able to find out my bin collection times as the number of bins these days is redic. but no luck. I live on one of Bangors busiest streets and this app can't find any addresses for the area. Please get it sorted and I will rate better. UPDATE. I emailed just waiting on the situation being resolved.

What was wrong with just printed list? This is just technology for the sake of it. What about all those without smart phones? App doesn't even recognise our postcode. It's a shame that this app is still rubbish - no pun intended - as it still doesn't recognise our postcode.

Information is good but would have better if you can select your area and find out what bin is due for collection instead of having to download the timetable.

Just downloaded app only to discover it doesn't cover my area, or half of Northern Ireland for that matter!

Doesn't support the following council areas: Causeway Coast and Glens, Mid & East Antrim, Antrim and Newtownabbey, Belfast, Newry-Mourne and Down. I live in MID & EAST ANTRIM (formerly Larne Borough)

App easy to navigate and has everything I need to know about recycling in my council borough. Definite recommend this app to other users.

Great site, good graphics, simple to use & understand.

Very well thought out app with handy reminders for bin days.

Great site, excellent graphics

This app is pretty poor. It does little more than regurgitate what's on various council webpages or download pdfs to an external viewer. For example, no use of GPS to guess what area you are in and give collection dates. There's no feature to electronically request a bulky collection - you have to phone as usual. And when you are setting / displaying a reminder, it doesn't use system settings to display date and time in your preferred format, defaulting to am / pm. No effective use of tablets larger screen

Constant useless notifications about crap, I mean every other day. Uninstalled

Amazing app that provides great information. Great for reminders on bin timetables and great notifications to keep me up to date with any changes.

After a few issues with the reminders (App support is first class) this has turned out to be a very handy app to have. Saves me from looking down the street to see what bins the neighbours are putting out. Handy reminders about bank holiday arrangements!

Now I know!

Great

Everyone should be recycling and most do so except the very lazy amongst us! I believe we should insist they are billed, where it'll hurt them most, their wallets!! There really is no acceptable excuse. This app certainly makes it easier for everyone!!!
