Ratings and reviews

I reinstalled the app twice already. It works just fine for a few weeks or months and then just starts sending you the reminder a day too early or stops sending it altogether. I forgot to put out the paper yesterday...which is quite annoying, since it's only connected every other week! Is this app actually being updated! It works even worse now than in 2015 when I first reviewed it (see text above), and the most recent reviews date back to 2020. At the moment it doesn't work at all.

As others have mentioned, notifications are broken. I contacted the developer but they forwarded my request to my local governing entity. This means one of two things to me: 1. They've given up, as this is clearly is an app problem, nothing else. 2. Their contract put end user support out of scope. Either way, the app is just a fancy version of the paper calendar at the moment and I have now manually added a weekly reminder to my Google calendar. It's a shame as it used to work fine.

Notifications do not work most of the time. I keep missing pickups because of missing notifications. I open the app every week, just after I notice I missed a pickup again! The notifications seem to work much better on my wife's iOS. At this point it would be more useful to have pickup dates exported to my calendar.
