Ratings and reviews

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!!!

Software is a net negative in the recycling experience. Adding Paypal and an app makes the whole thing way more complicated than it needs to be (but sure does prevent homeless people from returning cans!). These machines are slower than the manual ones I remember from the East Coast and are prone to freezing.

The box is tricky, the app is painful. The phone verification happens every time, required to cash out. The box sometimes doesn't log me in. Often I get a red screen telling me to wait for the green light, even though I did. This usually happens when the box feels very warm to my hand when I put in containers. Glass is ALWAYS 100% full
