The Resource I’ve Been Looking For

I am so excited to have found this app. Since I’ve decided to stop supporting brands that wreak havoc on the earth, our fellow animals and humans, and instead invest in products that are in line with my values, I have often times found myself stuck for hours searching the web for shreds of information. This app makes it easy to get right to the source!
Since I am based in the US, I do wish it were more tailored to items available to me locally. However, I am happy to support this wonderful endeavor and look forward to the expansion of the database.

When you find out your baby’s formula is toxic... thank God for this app

Thank you so much for everything you are doing to provide us, the shoppers, with clarity and informed choices. My sister told me to download this app and love how easy it is to use and offer share insights to my friends. I have made plenty of switches, from nappies, to makeup, clothing choices and food products so that I have less D’s E’s F’s in my life and more A’s! 😄 I learn something new almost every time I log on— and particularly love the new updates and extra I info that is continually added. I was so shocked to read that the baby formula I’d been giving my son for almost 9months had an F and bad particles in it. It was recommend to me by the pharmacist! I can’t wait to share with people how bad some of these products can be. I wish that some of the companies that I am into- like Australia’s Grown Alchemist- had a rating, but I understand that this takes time and man power. So please know that you really are changing life’s and helping the earth.

Kindest Regards,
Carley

Barely Functional Unethical Price

For the price of this app it is very unfinished and buggy. Continual errors when trying to add new products. Feedback and error reporting doesn’t work through the app.

The premise of this app is fantastic and when companies are added (because you can’t, because that’s bugged too) there is a lot of information available to guide your decision.

In its current state this app should be $0.99 or free because it certainly isn’t ethical to charge so much for this app at current development.

Allows for more informed choices

Labels don't tell you everything, like who a company is owned by. Love the detail in this, as it lets me decide which factors I think are important and vote with my dollar in a more informed way.

Great app! Incredible information

Totally worth the money in learning about sustainable products. I use it at least once every time I shop so I can make a difference In selecting the best sustainable and ethical products! It doesn’t take long to learn your daily shop!

Good to know, well referenced and easy to use

Know what your hard earned money is paying for- modern slavery, environmental destruction, animal cruelty or something more ethical. Easy to get a quick idea and dig deeper into the details. Thank you for creating and maintains this app.

Worth every penny!

The information in this app is do detailed! I love how you can click through and see exactly why it’s rated as it is based on events, news stories, etc. And as a bonus, it’s really easy to use.

Information with evidence.

I appreciate being given evidence and explanations of the ratings; I feel respected in not simply being told to trust what someone else decides.
I really appreciate being empowered to support companies who do the right thing and to hopefully influence others to change.

Comprehensive information, easy to understand, simple to use

A great app! It opened my eyes to what was really happening to get clothes in the stores and what I was really paying for when I do my groceries. It’s super simple to use and it explained how they get all their information and how they essentially rank a brand. So useful!

Wouldn't be without it

If you are the kind of person who wants to make the most of their choices to push the world in a more just and human direction then this app is for you. It literally saves me hours of time and 1000s of worry thoughts.
