Leave a Review Trash Panda Food Scanner
gives you articles and real research
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I downloaded this. It’s fantastic! You scan the food and it pops up with a list of dangerous ingredients. All of those ingredients are then linked to a short explanation and articles/studies about them. As someone who is very skeptical and needs to see data, I really appreciate that.Show lessseafoammountains
very convenient & informational ! 🦭
this app is very easy & quick to use compared to other ingredient scanning apps. you don’t need to watch ads every time you scan an item without a membership which is amazing. also, when some potentially harmful ingredients are contained , it provides an explanation to what the ingredient is & why it is harmful. i don’t rlly have any problems with the app, it works smoothly , it’s informative & helpful, and it delivers exactly what is needed. overall, this app is amazing i love it sm 🫶Show lessTonboBox

Thanks so much for your glowing 5 star review! This feedback means so much to our small team ❤️Free version is so so.
You have to pay handsomely if you actually want to use this app on the regular. I can use my camera app on my phone to enlarge the ingredients on products in the grocery store. I can use my notes app to compile a list of products that I use and consume regularly.
What about genetically modified and/or bioengineered foods that are a part of the ingredients list. You can not find this information out. It seems to not be a concern.
Don’t get me wrong. There are some positives in this app. I just think that it needs to have more focus on the entire packaging of each product.Show less2 year old loves it

Thank you for your feedback! We are working on a solution to better flag Bioengineered Food Ingredients, but currently flag ingredients like soy oil, canola oil, cottonseed oil, sugar, etc. as either potentially harmful or questionable for this reason. Also, all scanning for potentially harmful, questionable, or added sugar ingredients is free.Fantastic!!
This app is great! If you're trying to clean your diet, this is a necessity. It also contributes to defeating stomach and 'gut' issues by giving you information to be able to make a better decision. Nobody needs an app to not just eat crap. This is 1 step further. You'd be amazed what's in the foods you think are 'healthy'. Highly recommend!!Show less01010010 01010011

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a 5 star review. We're so happy to help make reading ingredient labels a little easier - it shouldn't be so confusing! Happy scanning friend :)Good Work!
This is a good app to help quickly find questionable additives in food.
Two quick improvements needed:
1. The camera is not self-focusing so it makes scanning barcodes a little awkward and taking pics of ingredients difficult
2. You cannot crop photos once you take them so you often end up including a bunch of text you don’t want to include when snapping ingredients because of issue 1.Show lessgigatron

Thanks so much for your thoughtful review! We will absolutely take note of these issues and work to resolve them. If you have additional feedback in the future please don't hesitate to reach out to support@trashpandaapp.com. Happy Scanning!Still figuring out app
Ok so this prompt literally just appeared on my screen to rate this app. I have only been using this app for one hour. I guess I like it so far, but I don’t feel comfortable giving it a five star rating with only one hour usage since I don’t fully know the features. I will say that I haven’t understood why it rates agave nectar as potentially harmful (Is it because of where it lies highly on the glycemic index scale like sugar, or that it’s “too processed”, or both, if in excess, potentially leading to something like hypoglycemia or diabetes?). So it would be nice to know if there are links to the empirical research/reasoning behind the ingredient ratings. Anyway, a fairly good app for this first-time user who wants to make healthier choices and be aware of alternatives for better nutrition.Show lessK4pnt

Hi there! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. You can tap on any ingredient that's flagged in the app to read more about it and see the links to the studies we reference. For agave nectar in particular, it has a very high glycemic index which means it will spike blood sugar more easily than some other forms of sugar. If you have any other questions, please feel free to let us know at support@trashpandaapp.com. Happy scanning!Added sugar
That is great but I hope. You can find a way to pick and choose your ingredients that you agree with. I trust much what you tell me but there may be something I disagree with. Also bad reviews will not have any way to down you other the app issues if there is any.Er3424

Hello! Thank you for your review and for supporting Trash Panda. Right now we don't have the option to customize which ingredients get flagged, but we are working toward separating added sugar into its own category. Be on the lookout for that release in the next few weeks!Contented Hen free range organic Large
I have been buying the cheapest eggs I could at the grocery store and noticed that they were small, even though the box at large, and that the yolks were popping every time I use them.
So I switched up to, but I thought was a higher Ground an egg land best. Same thing happened.
So I decided to go up at about $.50 on my budget and bought these contented hen free range, organic eggs, size large the difference I noticed was a medium the eggs are quite big they have nice big plump yolks.
I’ve been using them for about a week now and they seem great inside of the box talks about their hens being free ranged and a special message inside.Show lessAndrew-nvaac
Love the concept
Love the concept of this app, but I’ve scanned a handful of common things and nothing is in the database. I also signed up for the free trial, gave my payment info through apple and it will still not recognize that I have a membership so I can’t see any “premium lists”… also there’s no way to go back and see what you’ve just scanned so if you have to add things in every single time because the database is flawed, it’s quite impractical and irritating. Wish it worked better because I love the idea.Show lessJenna361
I LOVE THIS APP
Like seriously I just go to the store and scan stuff for fun. I like knowing the ingredients and this is so quick and easy when I’m too lazy to look. Actually makes me make wiser food choices. 10/10 recommend.fergueburgie
