## Review summary

Users find My Local Services helpful for tracking bin schedules and reporting local issues, appreciating support responsiveness and useful contact info. However, the app suffers from frequent bugs, unreliable location and council detection, and inaccurate bin collection notifications. Users report notifications are ineffective and there is poor feedback on submitted reports, especially graffiti notifications. Overall, while the app has useful features, reliability and accuracy issues hinder the user experience.

### Pros

- Useful for tracking bin pickup schedules and council rates.
- Easy reporting of local issues with GPS tagging and photo submission.
- Customer support responsive and fixes issues promptly.
- Provides useful contact information for waste and recycling depots.
- Helpful for managing multiple addresses (though requested as an enhancement).

### Cons

- App frequently buggy and crashes or fails to open properly.
- Bin collection schedules and notifications often incorrect or not updated.
- Location detection unreliable; sometimes doesn't find user's location or council.
- Lack of feedback on submitted reports, especially for issues like graffiti.
- Notifications often don't open the app or provide further details as expected.
