Description
You're out on a walk with your dog and it does its business. You're a good dog owner, so you have a bag to pick it up with, but where's the nearest dog bin to throw it away?

It's that simple!

When you see a dog bin that isn't on our system, you can take a picture of it within the app and upload it. Then when the next person comes along, they'll be able to see that dog bin on their map.
*** Features ***

- See all the dog bins logged in your area,

Ratings and Reviews
Good idea
This seems to be a really good idea, but it's a bit annoying that you can't add locations without taking a photograph. Having just downloaded the app, there are a number in my local vicinity which I can log, but am unable to without physically standing in front of it to take a photo! Can't there be functionality to add locations and then add the photo later?
Wish the community were helpful
Being a developer myself and a dog parent, I understand the motivation behind the app. Reading the other reviews on the app, I’m frankly shocked. This is meant to be a community driven app and the more people are willing to put in, the better it is for everyone in the long run. So I think people who don’t understand that should just uninstall the app instead of defaming it with pointless reviews.
This app works perfectly. Sure you only can post the bin from the location. How hard is that ? I’ve added three within my neighbourhood to date and they were all reviewed and added to the map within a week.
I want to say to the developer .. Thank you for taking this on. Don’t let the critics get to you. You are making a difference to many pooches !
Photo upload Error
This app is a great idea and seems to work for some people. However, when I tried to upload a photo of my local dog bin it came up with an error saying with the title ‘Unknown Error’ - Something went wrong, but we’re not quite sure what. Please try checking you’ve got internet connection and try again.” I double checked I had connection and had 2 bars of 4G connection. I then tried to upload the image multiple times but the error kept on coming up. I think took a photo on my phone hoping to be able to upload later on when I was home, but the. Found out I was unable to do this. It might be worth adding an online mode for users if they are in rural locations with limited internet connection. It would also be useful to be able to upload images onto the app.
