Never seems to remind me at the set time to put bins out or bring them in. Now it has a "technical" issue and just gives a black circle of spinning death. So glad to see my rates money being so well spent. Its now been over a week and still no progress made on that at spinning circle of death. Can now say the "technical" issue has been resolved after about another week. The developer has given some advice on getting the reminders to work better and it appears to be doing a better job.

Hi there. Some Android phones have battery saving enabled which kills background processes and stops some features of apps working. You can turn this on/off on an app by app basis. If you Google your phone model and battery saving you'll be able to find out more. Apologies for the technical issue, this was resolved so the app should work fine now.

Much prefer speed and convenience of previous version. This is now hugely frustrating. No clear immediate info on which bins go out when! The mybins is clunky bollocks. Prior to my collection on 13 Nov 2020, the app stated that, for my address, organics would be collected. No red. No yellow. Just organics listed. But on the day, both organics and recycled were collected. Had I followed the app, I would have missed my collection. The old version never had such a basic balls-up. Change is never "always better". I strongly recommend that folk do not update. Stay with the "older" iteration. Meanwhile, I hope that the IT folk get more bleeding training!!!!!

Hi, when the app opens are you not seeing your address with the day and date of your next collection with an icon and text showing with bins are being collected? The old app was only working well for a small number of people so this new app was built to work for a wider audience. So we're keen to get it working for everyone.

Aside from notifications which seem to dismiss themselves, it's a great tool and has a very complete index of where to put things
