Populates with Conventional Locations
I love WAPF so I bought this $20 app a year on principle. On the map feature they clearly just populated my local area with any grocery store their app development team could find on google (Safeway, Food for Less, Whole Foods). The logic is that each store carries a few healthy (or unhealthy) options. Real disappointment. Impossible to use the map to find anyone raising food the right way in my area. I feel ripped off by the organization I've been supporting for years. :(

Expect to pay to use
Good app but they want you to pay to use them. Just another app that wants your money. Booo.
Convenient, time-saving
I love this app! I'm new to the whole Nourishing Traditions community and this app will definitely help me get started better! I do wish it operated a bit smoother!
Great resource!
I have been following the Weston A. Price Foundation diet for 10 years now, and they have changed my life! I was happy to hear they were putting out an app. At first I was a little frustrated that there weren't that many locations near me that carried WAPF approved products, but then again, the approval criteria and quality levels are quite high, so you can't find these great foods just anywhere. Then I figured out that most products shown in the app are also available for purchase online (it has links to the brand websites), so once I figured that out I just buy things online using the app the choose the approved foods and brands.

Costco and Walmart - Are you kidding?
I am a very dedicated foodie, in particular about what ingredients go into what I eat and am a follower of Weston A Price Foundation. When I first used the app, I was SHOCKED to see there were locations such as Costco and Walmart listed. How could there be any decent foods there!!?!? But I clicked on those stores and saw what products were carried, and the ingredients of those products, and I figured that those foods were good ones. I really can't believe Costco and Walmart and now carrying a few products there that are acceptable! Other than that, the app has been helpful and I've learned some new stuff.

New to natural food, found the app very useful
I had been wanting to clean up my family's diet for a while and I have a pretty good idea of what to stay away from but I really don't know what brands and foods to buy. I became a member of the Weston A. Price Foundation about a year ago, and their traditional foods approach made sense to me. But I'm not going to read every ingredient on everything I buy! This app has been very helpful in that regard. There are some helpful reviews from other users, and I like that I can quickly see what ingredients to avoid for each different food type from the "how foods are chosen section".

Found great brands that ship
Overall helpful app. But I don't like that there was only 3 stores showing up near me (I live far from major cities) and there were just a few approved things in each store. The deal is, you have to search for whatever type of food you want, the app shows you a list of what's approved, and you order it online instead of going to the store. I discovered a bunch of new foods I order all the time like the soaked granola we love, a farm that has grassfed meat and Jovial that has organic tomato sauce in glass jars.

Another accessibility failure by a sloppy developer
I really want to use and like this app, because I admire the foundation. But since all of their categories, when seen by voiceover users, have numbers instead of the helpful name of the actual category, it's really not too useful. We get a picture with a picture of text if were cited. If we're voiceover users, we get useless random numbers. Fail! Labeling controls is one of the longest standing accessibility requirements in the industry. off

Huh?
Sounds like a promising app, but hasn't yet delivered for me. The only locations I see around me are Publix, Win Dixie, and Walmart. Meanwhile, I have a very well known heritage farm about a quarter mile away that isn't listed. I don't need an app to tell me where to find every Publix... isn't the whole point to give me alternatives? Good premise, but deserves another try.

Amazing resource
I love having this as a resource in my pocket. Eating healthy foods is very important to me, and with all the marketing and confusion as to what’s natural, what’s not, its really hard to tell sometimes. The app has a ton of brands and products in all kinds food categories; there are user reviews to help see what other people have said about them; then you can see on a map if they are sold near you (and for those that aren’t sold in stores, or at least ones nearby, the app lets you call the brand or links to the shopping section of their website). All in all it makes it really easy to find super high quality food, including from local organic farms, for example. This has been super helpful for me.
