User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's concept and features like locating nearby recycling cubes and the ease of signing up. However, multiple recurring issues diminish the experience: recycling machines are often full, slow, or malfunctioning; app reliability on Android is poor, with crashes and connectivity problems; real-time status accuracy is lacking; and customer support is difficult to reach. These problems cause user frustration and wasted time, overshadowing the app's convenience and good intentions.

Pros

App has a useful feature to find nearby recycle machines and shows their capacity status.
Signing up and starting recycling with the app is easy and straightforward.
The concept of convenient self-service recycling using cubes is appreciated.
The app and machines help facilitate recycling deposits, saving people from lengthy manual processes.
Some users find the app generally functions well and is convenient to use once operational.

Cons

Machines are frequently full or out of order, limiting usability.
Machine processing speed is very slow, causing frustration and time wastage.
The app has reliability issues on Android, including crashes, login problems, and difficulty linking with machines.
Communication between app and machines lacks real-time accuracy leading to wasted trips.
Customer support is unresponsive or slow to resolve issues.
App requests permissions that some users find excessive for its purpose.
New features like time limits discourage users and complicate the process further.
App sometimes incorrectly rejects legit containers and misreads deposit values.

Absolutely useless! All boxes in the bay area are full and looks like they don't empty them on time. Unless recycling plastic is your lifelong passion so you're okay with spending a whole Sunday morning trying to find a box, Olyns is not for you!

Th*****, 2025-02-02

Machines are almost always full or out of order. When machines are operational, the app doesn't communicate with the machines in real time. I drove to three different locations that the app showed would accept glass, but all three were full. I've only used the machine successfully once. Every other time, I've been carrying my cans and bottles back to the car before shopping.
