Ratings and reviews

This is an helpful app which will remain u to protect the environment by classify all the recyclable products and it will remain u to save more energy.

Motivating app, that makes you feel good about the enveronment!

Great to see such a great quality built app that is encouraging good things. I also believe this app was built from people with great intentions and it may be too much to go deeper but for the average Jo, they need this. Only thing, the savings are not totally realistic and academic completely, they satisfy some factors and not the serious issues. Great to add points for a happier conscience but maybe some more education to each point. Good links or something to expand why that may be done and what is the real impact not just say for example save water but the greater global feedback. There is no plane flights, actual facts on meat, no dairy, shopping, oil, specific company mining issues etc. But again make people happy and see even a few people care is a step forward, seriously good app, just needs to be meatier in seriousness, this is a massive issue and people need to know.
