Major Highlights of the Week

Store Availability
Users are frustrated with the app indicating participating stores that do not have collection boxes, leading to confusion and wasted trips. This inconsistency between app information and store reality undermines user trust and satisfaction.
Visited multiple Boots locations listed in the app, but none had the collection boxes.
Camera Functionality
The app's camera feature frequently fails, preventing users from uploading photos of recyclables, which is a critical step in the recycling process. This technical issue significantly hinders user participation and satisfaction.
The camera won't open to take photos of packaging, making the app unusable.
Deposit Verification
Users experience frequent issues with deposit verification, where the app incorrectly states that deposits were not made in-store, leading to frustration and loss of rewards. This problem disrupts the user journey and diminishes the perceived value of the app.
App claimed my in-store deposit wasn't made, despite scanning the QR code.
Reward Redemption
The reward system is perceived as overly complex, with users unaware of the need to spend a minimum amount within a short timeframe to redeem points, leading to dissatisfaction. This complexity reduces the incentive to use the app.
Activated a voucher by mistake and had only 30 minutes to spend £10 to redeem it.
Account Access Issues
Users face difficulties logging into the app, even with correct credentials, which prevents them from participating in the recycling program. This barrier to entry is a significant deterrent to user engagement.
Cannot log in with the same credentials that work on the Boots website.
Photo Approval Delays
The process of photo approval for recyclables is slow and inconsistent, with some users waiting days for verification, which discourages continued use. This delay in the user flow creates a bottleneck in the recycling process.
Waited nearly seven days for product approval, despite being told it would take 24 hours.

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The app is a great concept but the execution is poor. It often logs me out during the deposit process, and I lose all my approved items, making it frustrating to use.
Mr H 34567
I love the idea of recycling hard-to-recycle items, but the app is too complicated. It requires taking individual photos of each blister pack, which is time-consuming and discouraging.

The app's camera feature doesn't work, making it impossible to upload items for recycling. I've tried reinstalling, but the issue persists, which is disappointing.
