User reviews

Fake app. Initially was earning the equivalent of 1p per item recycled however a recent update means that you now earn less than this. Potentially an amount comparable to the equivalent cost of electricity required to charge the phone following usage of the app to recycle in the first place rendering the app redundant. To claim the cash earned you can do trusty which doesn't work or manual payment which requires an email verification, which never arrives. Making it impossible to claim.

This used to be a really good app, but now that the rewards are more expensive and coins are harder to get, I don't feel very motivated to use the app anymore. I'd honestly be surprised if I still have it installed by the end of the year.
