Ratings and reviews

The Olyns app has been frustrating as an Android user—the app card has never worked. Machines are often full or out of service, and when they finally work, they sometimes break down after waiting in line, wasting an hour of my time. On top of that, support is very slow to respond. While the concept is great, the execution and customer service need serious improvement.

Signing up to Olyns to be able to recycle cans was easy. The app is clean, and it was very easy to get started. I even cashed out my first trip to PayPal - although I did need to reach out to support to figure out how to redeem when my PayPal account was under a different email. I know it'll be easy to recycle in the future by just tapping my Google wallet to the kiosk. Not sure why opening the settings modal requires location access, but the app permissions seem correct otherwise.

This app at least on Android sucks! After installed for a while, it worked for a few months, then start getting blank screen after. I have to uninstall then reinstall to get the app working again. Clear cache did not help the situation. If it is connecting to server in the cloud problem, please fix it. If you don't know how to get your mobile app constantly, at least give us an option to log in to see our account through a browser!!!
