LitterLotto

This is a great app and very simple to use. I’ve been playing litter lotto for just over a year now and have won lots of good prizes. The odds are pretty good if you eat lots of on-the-go food or if you have the amounts of litter there is around where I live. It’s a win-win for you and the environment.

I use this app regularly to help keep my area tidy. It’s fun and easy to use plus very rewarding. Please download it and join the fun!

A new way to help tackle litter on your area - backed by your council! Log your litter picks and get a chance to win prizes

This is a great initiative and I use the app pretty well every day. It does have an annoying habit of crashing occasionally but otherwise is easy to use. Fingers crossed, may win a prize too!

I have used this app for over a year now, it is very motivational getting me out of the house and helping to clean up the area. The added bonus of this app is the prizes that are available. I have been lucky to win the £1000 jackpot as well as the local monthly £100. If it’s making a difference to the local area and helping to protect the urban wildlife then I’m all for it!

Still enjoy this app & the idea of encouraging disposing of litter & recycling more at home is a fantastic idea & the competitive element is fun & the rewards very useful & you feel rewarded for doing the right thing. However since the new upgrade it takes much longer not so much fun when disposing of litter in a public bin getting strange looks photographing & waiting or in the rain by outside recycling bins at home. Yes you can save the photos & upload but this sometimes gets stuck & you have to delete the app loose your photos & reload app. Also one of the new features the waste/bin day reminder is great but mine reminds me just before midnight on the collection day when it has been collected hours before or I had forgotten the reminder would be too late. There also seem to be less coins it seems to if it gives you recycling advice it doesn’t tell you if it’s been submitted or not.

It’s great to have an incentive to keep our parks and other outdoor spaces clean and tidy but in the 18 months I’ve spent using it despite winning lots of coins and entering lots of the different prize draws I’ve not won any prizes. I think there should be lots of smaller prizes that more participants can win because it doesn’t feel like enough people currently get awarded for their efforts.

Overall a great app but would love to see some points below added! Have seen so much change and used to get more cash rewards. However I get that the bigger the app gets they need to move to a fairer system! Love being able to redeem my points for bonus entries. 3 things I’d love to see!: 1. When you bin litter it asks if it’s overflowing or not in red and green. I always press the green button thinking that’s no but it’s YES. Green should means the bin is ok. Be ideal to have a button saying “report bin issues” rather than it asking each time? This way you could also add reports such as vandalised bins, not just overflowing. 2. It says participating councils but doesn’t show a list of them. Be able to tell by geolocation if your council is involved in the higher cash prizes. 3. Be able to see a leaderboard list for people in your city/nationwide and be able to choose a username for it (similar to instagram/Twitter etc) this will promote competition! Will continue to use and thank you.

Amazing way to get chances to win prizes for something I was already doing - picking up litter. My app is a little bit unclear with the prizes. It’d be good if where I could see my recent transactions, if it tells you when the prize is due to be drawn. Currently I have 4 that I have entered but no idea when they’ll be drawn, if they haven’t already. Where it says about the weekly jackpot, it doesn’t tell me when it’s due to be drawn either. Which is strange because the photos of the app on the App Store says that it should, so presuming this is just a bug? Many times trying to upload my photos it says an error has occurred, please try again later. There’s no obvious cause to this. Sometimes I can upload photos and other times I can’t. All in all the idea is good but the app just needs some work to be great.

I’m so impressed by the idea of LitterLotto. Carrot, not stick - perfect! But my first foray into this app has been infuriating. 1 When creating an account, there’s an odd page about third party access to my contact details. It’s not clear if you leave the boxes ticked or unticked if, like me, you don’t want emails from ‘trusted partners’ A pop up says if you’re not sure, you can fix this in settings later. Well, you can’t because there’s no such option in settings. 2 The LitterLotto Legends page says to swipe to see winners - that doesn’t work either. 3 I tried to pass all this on to developers via the contact form, but the lime green text kept jumping about and I had to abandon it before it made me sick. I think the idea is so good, I plan to promote the app as widely as I can. Hope you’ll fix the bugs tho.
