used to be good but .... initially found this good but since it has changed the way it works I can't really be bothered with it. The app is glitchy, seems to lose a lot of data (so for example things that have been recognised many times before come up with the message "what material is this?"). Some challenges haven't paid out and even though I recycle a LOT (big family) it's only worth about £1 a month. Hardly worth the effort. I shall continue to recycle (as I always have) but deleting app

A bit invasive of my privacy. After latest update my location had to be turned on at home, not just only at the recycling station. I get the fraud prevention angle. But there is no mention of this under the section about the kinds of data this app may collect and share. The location collection could easily be avoided with "Fake GPS" or similar app but the behavior is not acceptable for me. I abandoned my collected points and uninstalled. Idea is nice though and I will follow this app.

Recently discovered and downloaded the Bower app, thought it was a great idea overall until the time when I wanted to redeem and wanted my bank account. I really don't feel comfortable disclosing my bank account information if I had one. I hope you think about putting PayPal or gift cards as options for payment, otherwise I would have to uninstall it unfortunately., and that would be disappointing, because I like the app.
