Useless
Tried 6 products in the pharmacy (big name brands) not a single one was in the database.
Doesn't know anything
Cool tech that scans your bath products barcodes and tells you if the product contains microbeads except it didn't find any of the products and I have and asked me to add them to the catalog. so I might as well read the ingredients from to box myself. my question is what do I need this program for if I still have to read the box? Plus is reading the ingredients that hard anyways.

Doesn't recognise any product
Scanned every single relevant product in my house and it didn't recognise a single one.
Out of date
What's the point of having this app? Just look on the website because the app list doesn't match it.
I looked at the ingredients list of the product I wanted to get (grapefruit face scrub by neutrogena), which didn't seem to have any of the plastics we are looking for, but had jojoba esters that I understand to be natural degradable replacements for microbeads. App tells me that it contains microbeads. Confused, I double-check on the beatthemicrobead website which has an updated list from may 2016 explicitly saying this scrub is microbead free! Waste of time to download the app.

Insufficient Contrast for easy reading
Seems like a good idea, but the white text on the light blue background makes it difficult to read, so much so I gave up. (Worse than white on black). Not used it yet.
Not Ready for Primetime
I wish it worked. First, it instantly locks onto anything with one or more vertical lines, a corner of of the bar code or a border line and tells you the product is not recognized. Took six tries to get the whole bar code pictured. It reported not recognized on products that have microbeads. Never recognized anything even with a sharp, complete image taken.

Does not work
I must have scan dozens of items, from toothpaste to shower gel. Doesn't recognise anything. Waste of time.
Needs work
The app is a great idea; that is if it actually worked. Was so excited downloading the app, but after scanning things at my home, mostly Bath & Body Works and Aveeno and Colgate and Clinique, all I kept getting was message "this product is still unknown"...deleting the app
Can't start the app at all
As suggested by title.
Wish the database was active
Didn't know one product I scanned. Even very common things such as toothpaste
