User reviews

Pretty good

I really enjoy being able to view my test results from this app. Sometimes the barcode glitches but usually exiting out of the app and then returning fixes the issue.

Not Accurate

I am severely allergic to sulfa and test supposedly showed I was tolerant. So many more red flags, Not sure this is legit, waste of money.

Gluten (wheat allergy)

Showed no intolerance but I had lab testing done and I get very ill.

Clarity at last

After trying nearly 10 brands of puppy food, this test alerted me to sensitivities to many common ingredients that were not on my radar as allergens like chickpeas, peas, corn. I had been focused on changing proteins with no avail. Turns out my pup reacted to many different meats as well but now we at least have some guidance on what might work for him!

Disappointed

According to these tests I am allergic to or have strong reactions to almost everything. I have no allergies. In order to gain any more information or explanation for the information given, you need to spend more money. It turns out to be a service to help you spend money. I am very disappointed!
