Like everyone else, I love the concept. The filters don’t work well though. I sort by menswear and am suggested baby brands. I look for brands similar to streetwear and am suggested denim brands or brands that only sell basics. It’s almost as if the app tries to recommend the same 7 brands, regardless of the user’s preference. But I love that I can search a brand and see an overall rating.
I love the app! It does a good job of showing which brands are ethical and why. However, I wish it was easier to search for ethical brands. There needs to be more categories for the app. So far the categories consist of ones like shirts, jeans, etc. They should add categories like women, men, juniors, children, etc. I am a teenager and it’s hard to find any brands that are meant for teenagers. The only way to find teenage brands is by searching them yourself, but that becomes a problem when you don’t know any ethical junior brands in the first place.
I stumbled across this app quite by accident. They’re well-researched, and after doing my own analysis on a dozen brands and comparing the results, I trust their summaries and refer to them like a dictionary of sorts. If you search up your favorite brands like I did, heaven only knows what you’ll find (be prepared to go through the 7 stages of grief & don’t get stuck in denial). Incredibly, with the collection of “good” & “great” small ethical businesses on here, you can easily amass a collection of clothing brands that align with your style AND morals (please remember not to buy more than you need and to shop secondhand).
Never have I been more impressed with an app, I’ve recommended it to everyone close to me & have referenced it on my socials. Oftentimes, I get frustrated with adults who tell me my generation will fix their problems, but with resources like this, i think we’re capable. Thank you.
A few recommendations:
-this might just be an issue for my phone, but i can’t seem to unfollow a business. This makes it difficult to organize brands (maybe some people would like brand folders too?)
-a ‘local’ search option or listing where each brand is based would be fantastic, but it’s a small issue as some have it in their summaries and if i’m interested it’s only a quick google search.

Thanks so much for your review Peter! Not sure why you can't 'unfollow' [="unfavorite" I guess?] a brand. If you click on the brand in you favorites and go to the brand page you can click on teh Favourite button and it will be deleted from your Favorites list.
Good news - we have added the ability to filter search results by country or region as of the latest version! Thanks again for your review and let us know if you have further feedback. Best wishesNever going to delete this app. Recently I’ve become very involved in the genocide of Uyghur Muslims, including how many companies are using forced Uyghur labor (Nikes, Victoria’s Secret, Zara, etc). And I’ve started boycotting companies that haven’t cut all ties with using forced Uyghur labor, but it opened my mind to the fact that many other clothing brands I love could use forced labor as well, just not specifically that of the Uyghurs, which is still absolutely unacceptable. So after coming across this app in an add, I downloaded it. And it’s phenomenal. It tells you exactly why a company isn’t ethical, whether that be because of lack of living wages or environmental damages, and it also tells you which ones are good and ethical. Just wish some the brand suggestions it gives are more trendy and suited for younger people. But other than that, it’s great. :)
This app has been a game changer for me and how I choose what brands to buy from. I absolutely love how it’s organized and the full analysis they give to each company. The only thing I wish this app would do is provide a selection on pictures for each company! Every time I click on a brand there’s only one picture at the top of the screen, it would be better if there were more pictures as you scroll down.
I absolutely love the idea of this app. But PLEASE add a filter for price when looking at brands! The same way that I can search up a category like "Dresses", I want to be able to search up the category "$" vs "$$$". The brands that are recommended to me are always in the $$-$$$ range, costing hundreds of dollars for a single t-shirt!! It would be amazing to have a price filter, even if the brands in the $ section aren't rated "great", but only "good" for example. Thank you!
This app could really make a difference! But it’s desperate for improvement. Why can you not view all and filter by location of stores or select multiple categories? A few images from the website or a link to the brand would also be great!
I think it’s super awesome that I have a tool to help me sort through shops and buy more ethically, however I would love if there were an option to sort by price in the app! I only downloaded it today so I may be missing an option that already lets me do that, but if it doesn’t exist it should!!
I’ve been playing around with the app and I love how transparent they are about how they got to the ratings they give.
Suggestion: I think this would be awesome in a google chrome extension form as well. I, along with a lot of people I know, tend to move over to their computers to purchase things instead of using their phones. (However I’m also not a software developer so I have no idea how difficult this is so I’m sorry if I’m asking for a lot.)
I have analyzed many of the ratings of this app and researched into what the creators of this app stand for and came to the conclusion that over 90% of them are not being heard. The app crashes very often, it takes you to safari when the information should be shown in the app, the filters are not accurate, over a dozen stores/brands are not listed in this app, does not cater to vegans, and brands are not being researched on a regular basis to name a few. For the zero waste, health and animal conscious people aware of there carbon footprint, we look to apps like this to tell our friends about so they can have an easier transition into our lifestyle. This app makes it frustrating for everyone and the users voices are not being heard. I see comments form the creators thanking us for our input from, over a year ago, but nothing is being done. I’m disappointed to say the least

Hi Kyle, Thanks for your input. Good On You lists nearly 3,000 fashion brands with more being added every month. You can request brands to be rated however there are naturally delays with rating all brands given how many there are in the world! On the Good On You Directory directory.goodonyou.eco you can filter by 'Vegan', something that will be added to the app in due course. You can be assured that we are working through all suggestions for improvement. Best wishes
