I never write reviews & this app is worth one.

I've had a smartphone for a decade and have never written an app review until now. As someone who seeks out vegan and fair trade clothing, this app is so useful. The fashion industry is traditionally notorious for is questionable labor practices and environmental ethics. But this app shows that there are so, so many clothing companies that do right by the planet, people, and animals.

Yes, the brands in this app leans heavily towards "womenswear" (I wrote that word in quotes, since I believe people of all genders can wear whatever they want.) However, people of all genders can use this app and find a store, label, brand with a style that suits them!

Filters need improving

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.

Nice app, needs location filters

Very useful app but I wish I could filter by location. Most of the brands seem to be in Australia so an alternative to HM in Australia may not be available in Canada.

Good App but some quirks

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.

Great concept poor function

I love the idea of this app- I want to use it and share it and promote it.
Would be great if when changing filters the “done”button worked? Instead I’m finding I have to close the app and start again.
Also can we please have stationery added as a category? Just a suggestion.

Hi, thanks so much for your review. I'll as our developer to look into the issue with the filters - it seems to be working OK on other devices - could you drop us a note with more details of the problem (info@goodonyou.eco) so we can investigate? Thanks for the suggestion re the stationery category, best.

Good On You

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 wishes

Great concept, poor price execution

Off the bat, I loved the idea of this app right until I checked the price comparison. Shops that sell clothing (T-shirt’s) at an average of £80-£100 are labelled as $ the same as Primark. This feels really out of touch for anyone working class, that is a major difference.

Of course, I understand that ethical clothing is more expensive, but I would prefer there to be a closer price range for labelling these shops. Maybe one more category would help.

I wanted to start purchasing clothing ethically, but this app has made me feel guilty about where I shop even though they’re the only places I can afford.

The concept is great and the research is extensive and incredibly helpful. All I wish was that there were more options to help those who have less money find better alternatives that don’t break the bank.

Thanks so much for your review. I'm sorry the price information was not helpful. Actually the price guideline for $ for T shirt brands is £11 GBP. It's possible that there were no $ options available to match your filters and so $$ brands were shown or perhaps there was an error in our data, apologies if that was the case. We absolutely do not think people should feel guilty. Generally we support all sorts of ways to shop more ethically, supporting smaller sustainable brands is only one; others include always choosing 'the best of the rest' - that's what our 3/5 "It's A Start" rating is for - it often identifies the larger, cheaper brands that are doing better than their fast fashion competitors. We’re currently working to improve our filters on the directory and app, including an improved cost-based search. We’re also working to identify as many sustainable/ethical brands at a range of price points. In the meantime, you can find on our blog are articles that promote affordable ethical and sustainable fashion brands: Ethical Taste on a Fast Fashion Budget Is Ethical Clothing Really Expensive? 9 Ethical Fashion Hacks: Look Great and Save Money Best

Amazing

Never 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. :)

Great ethically but not economically

Only issue that puts me off this app is the economic side of things, being wc it’s hard to shop environmentally friendly as it is, we need more of a focus on cheaper, maybe indie brands that have a good impact on the environment rather than just the more expensive ones. Also, some of the ratings for pricing is a bit weird? I would class Next and M&S on the same level yet they are different ratings, with m&s on the same $ as primark? Maybe add an $$$$$ ratings to be more specific about price ranges:) other than that it’s really good!

Love this app

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.
