Scrapp - Recycling made simple

I couldn’t write my bad review but this app is honestly a waste of time and it also used up all my storage please don’t waste your time on this product. Not only that but this app is also very boring THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!😡😡😡

Every item I scanned came up as an unknown product. Stuff I knew was recyclable was coming up as unknown.

Scrapp is a fantastic tool for learning how to recycle and compost my items that I buy at the store. Their in depth approach about what pets I can and can’t recycle is incredibly helpful. Additionally the fact that it works for products as well is a game changer for the things around the house. Great app to have, and best of all I don’t need to create an account to use it.

This app is wonderful for those who are recycling challenged! I thought I knew a lot about how to recycle and our local guidance but boy was I wrong! This app is not only helpful but very engaging and fun to use!

Scrapp has made recycling not only easier but rewarding too! I’ve used this app everyday since I downloaded it and it never fails to guide me in the right recycling direction while helping me learn what really can be recycled

I don’t consider myself the most expert recycler there is - but this app has managed to make an otherwise mundane task ENGAGING and dare I say - fun. I look forward to filling up my recycling with codes that I scan and collect. Love the concept.

Scrapp is simply scrap everyone knows in my local authority to recycle ♻️ plastics, metal cans and glass bottles plus carb board. What is the point of this application if you already know all those things. Before you could search up items that you were unsure of recently a light bulb for me with the old RE3 application that has slowly ultimates met its untimely death-so now I have simply created a short cut to the look up on the website. Like others have mentioned it did not even recognise the packaging for a light bulb and it would seem like a lot of things the product range and outgrown the database, I see very little people updating the database to especially when it is like this. For me a lot of people like my mom are not very tech savvy at all and not even think about using something like this. Once again an utterly useless application that has replaced an already faulty one. Am I wrong in thinking that the old application must have been run by people to lazy to keep to application la database up to date with what we can and can not recycle ♻️ so that has been discontinued to be replaced by an application that we already know what categories we can recycle ♻️ metal, glass, cardboard the list goes on bar toxic waste I can imagine which is a no brainer. It is as if people are to lazy to do there jobs and are now relying on people to do there jobs and update their database with the products as can and can not recycle making this application essentially useless like human beings are slowly being assimilated and amalgamated into some sort of AI program to do the automation for the last buggers who should be doing this already. A loss of service and sorry we are not robots 🤖 or ever will be! What are we paying our council taxes and increased rates for apart from a loss of service. I liked to have the ability to look up what I can through in the bin if it was bicycle lights and such and where to go and now we literally have this trash garbage 🗑️ You are better off creating a shortcut to your screen to the RE3 database look up then this in my opinion as I already know what is on the database which is everything I can recycle pretty much seems a bit stupid to look up items you already know are and are not recyclable considering the breadth of this application. Who’s brain 🧠 child was this anyway ?

The app often fails to open iOS 17.4 The setup went well no issues I scanned my first barcode, but the product was not found. I was surprised as the item was a common product. Then, I was asked a lot of technical questions about the packaging. I don’t think your average Joe would have such knowledge. So, I guessed which kind of defeats the purpose of the app. On contacting Scrapp about the scanning feature Scrapp's response was “ This is something we are working on, and we hope to make more products available soon. Any brand and retailer is allowed to upload completely for free and we have solid product coverage mainly in the USA. What makes getting a high product hit rate increasingly difficult is that if an item has a slightly different size it has a separate barcode.” Good idea but needs to be foolproof or no incentive to use it.

Never managed to get this app to work downloaded it two days ago just crashes

As I always do, I searched for the app by name rather click the link provided by entering my local recycling centres name of ‘re3’. But I it odd that the first result was for some sort adult swinging club called… re3! I didn’t notice in the eMail that it’s actually called ‘scrapp’! I knew something was wrong because being a pensioner I somehow think I’m a bit too old to start ‘swinging’ now 🤣
