recyPay

This app is a scam to make think you can earn money but just makes you watch ads which make them earn money

It says I have money to cash out yet when I enter my email and then enter it again, it goes to an ad and it will not let me click off the ad.

They “offer” you a welcome bonus of $13.27. But when I tried to redeem the balance I got an error message saying it was on hold. To the developer: don’t offer a welcome bonus if the user can’t redeem it. False advertising

This is the most convoluted and poorly designed app I’ve ever seen. The only reasonable explanation is that it’s a poorly disguised ad delivery system. While you scratch your head trying to figure out how you earn money on “virtual recycling”, they are making money by serving you ads after every attempt interaction. UPDATE: It’s so cute that this unhinged “app developer” keeps using the phrase “virtual recycling” as if that means anything at all. And I think what they mean is that they don’t want us to try to figure out how you earn money because it’s pretty obvious there’s no money to be made (except the money they make on ads while you waste your time “virtually recycling”. Oh, and I did try their customer service link and got rude responses there, too, just as they’ve left all over the other reviews. Seriously, how did this trash fire make it into the App Store? I thought Apple had a review process. This one slipped through.

Which that will pay you lots of money. I usually do not write reviews but this app is so good I must tell you if you like to make money this app is for you.

I really enjoy the motivation behind this app. Nothing else like it that I know of. Unfortunately the app often crashes without any rhyme or reason from what I can understand. The whole interface feels really sketchy though. You also have to wait until you hit $50 to cash out which takes an extremely long time. I’m more than half way there and if I can’t cash out at $50 definitely reporting and leave a real negative review. Here’s hoping this is legit and I can add some faith in humanity. Update 7/23/21 To the developer - thank you for your response. I’m sorry if I offended you in anyway. Your response seemed quite intense, at least to me. Just want to encourage you to remember that I simply hold an opinion and a lot of your response to my skepticism about the app is difficult to prove there for hard for me to believe. Like I said going to keep plugging along with it and look forward to these new change/ come September. Power to the people you say cash out $50 regularly even with all of the glitches in the app; that’s a lot of consumption but it’s good they are recycling.

I originally rated this 4 because I had a problem but the developer helped me fix it turns out I was just being dumb, but overall great app!

Scanning each bottle is extremely slow. Waiting for server to respond for each scan takes forever. No it’s not my internet connection. It doesn’t give option to enter quantity and do one scan since all bottles are exactly the same. Slow. Very encouraging to stop recycling. No body has time to sit there and wait for each scan to respond before you can scan next bottle that is exactly the same. Why not just let people enter quantity?

Thank you for responding to my review. I know deep in my heart that that is not your intention to respond or come off in a way that you don’t intend. I am glad that you care about your customers, I would love to use this app and I am so glad that you were working to make it so that blind and visually impaired users can use it. I only wanted to give that word of advice, because I would hate for you to lose a great business. I am a business owner myself, and I would hate to see another business fall apart. You guys are great, and I only want to see you get even better. You guys are an excellent company and I love the fact that you came up with a way so that we can recycle products. Thank you very kindly for that, and I hope that the advice I gave you didn’t come off in an unpleasant way. I just believe in my heart that you are an awesome app developer, and you have created a wonderful app. I just don’t want to see your business go down the tubes all because another customer thought you were rude to them and reported you. I love you guys and your app and I want nothing more than to see your business grow. Thank you for reading and responding to my review and have a wonderful day. I love the idea of this app, unfortunately though, I am not able to create an account. I am totally blind, and I use voice over. Can someone please fix this issue so that I would be able to create an account, I want to be able to use this app. Another thing I would like to draw to your attention, if you could be so kind as to respond to peoples reviews in a much kinder manner, you will not lose your business. I don’t want that for you. Although I love this app, I am currently unable to use it since I cannot create an account. I want to be able to give you a chance, but I would like to let you know that I was reading customers reviews, and you responded to one of them with a very snotty attitude. Please keep in mind that with using an attitude like that you will not last very long. I would love to use this app, so if you would, please fix. Most importantly, please fix the way you respond to other peoples reviews. I guarantee you that once this is done more people will download and use your application. Just a word of advice from a potential customer. Thank you very much for reading and I hope you have an awesome day.

This app is terrible. I didn’t get the “welcome bonus” they claim on the App Store page. I asked a question through customer service about why there are locations of this is virtual and received a snarky remark. The idea of “virtual” recycling is stupid anyway because it doesn’t actually help the environment in any way. Once you “virtually” recycle a can or bottle in the app, you get paid for it. But you could actually then just throw it away. The app doesn’t ask for any kind of confirmation that you physically recycled the can or bottle at any point. It’s not helpful at all in reducing waste and helping the environment. Very disappointing. Don’t download.
