Practically every product I scanned in my cupboard, fridge and freezerreturned a "No data found" message or a "conflicts with another product". The products I purchase are not rare or diverse but the app simply does not recognize them. Far more products need adding to your database before the app can become useful.

They ruined the app, you used to be able to see the plastic number and name to see if it was recyclable. Now it just stuff like "plastic packets" or "drinks bottles" ENTIRELY useless since they can come in a variety of plastics. Terrible. I hope they revert it to its old version

Thanks for the feedback, and apologies for the negative experience; we updated our system to better align with recycling centre processes. Rest assured, if the app says "Plastic drinks bottle ✅" then all types of that item are recyclable. We'd be happy to assist you further at info@horizonapp.uk

Useful learning tool. Great app, has helped me understand what I can recycle in my area. Needs word search alongside it's barcode scanning to find things.
