  • Love the idea- but issues!

    So Aldi, Whole Foods and Giant Eagle are most common for having a lot of GF options.
    As of today - the “search ingredients” part of the app is broken/ not working/ won’t search.

    Also- if there was a photo of the actual ingredients list, that would be super helpful as most celiac has other issues/ allergies and would be nice to see all in one place. If you opened it up w that- I think you’d expand your audience!

    Aldi has the most items that are “regular” not labeled GF and has half the amount of garbage, ingredients you can’t even pronounce, I would love to see these items in your list. Since one they are healthier already and even cheaper - people w celiac are also spending more - so this dramatically helps!

    Thanks for this app. When it does work- it’s nice.

    Thanks for your feedback. We’ve more than 2500 products of Whole Foods and more than 2000 products of Giant Eagle, please use the “SEARCH GF” option to check it. Database over 500,000 products (80,000 GLUTEN-FREE). I think that maybe there is a misunderstanding about the “search ingredients”. It’s only for search ingredients, for search products you’ve to use the option “SEARCH GF”. Feel free to contact us at hello@scanglutenfree.com, we really appreciate your feedback about it. Thanks in advance!
  • I’m about to eat my self. Have you ever watch a man eat his own head? I’m about to

    I really thought this was going to be so hard with a new diet . But it’s so easy to use this app to find food and ingredients. I was so scared because I was just planning on eating my own head . Not no more . I’m eating good and it’s healthy! Thank you for creating this app. I like my head.
    Thank you

  • Amazing

    This app is AMAZING!!! I share it with people every chance I get. It has helped answer so many questions and has made shopping SOO much easier! THANK YOU!!!!
  • Great App!

    My granddaughter has celiac, and I depend on this app. It has been wonderful until this last week. When I try to scan, it comes up with check internet connection and shuts off. It happens in the store and at home with wifi. I have to uninstall and reinstall to get it to work. Then it does it again. Please help me. Thank you! It is working now! This app is a lifesaver!

  • Doesn’t work!!!

    I was very excited about this app so I just decided to download the full version, and so disappointed because I keep getting a msg saying no internet connection... I can tell you with confidence that My internet is not the issue because I’ve been working in IT for a long time. I even tried downloading it on my IPad and same issue... I keep getting msg: NO INTERNET CONNECTION FOUND... I will give it one more day and if it doesn’t work I will get a refund..

  • AMAZING APP

    This makes food shopping so much easier. The majority of items I scan come up. There are however a few that do not. I love this app it made life so much easier!!!
  • Advertisers should take note of this app

    Cons: the “no internet connection” error message is common and annoying. Everyone I know with the app experiences it. Happens on WiFi and cell signal. The upside of this issue is I have always been able to correct it by just closing and opening the app.
    Unless I am missing it there isn’t an easy way to submit items that aren’t in the database for review so they can see what we’re looking at and get it added.
    Also not seeing restaurants and fast food gf menu items.

    Pluses: very fast and easy to use. Massive database of food items. Varied results gf/may contain/has gluten, trustworthiness, and a lot of suggested gf food to look through like cookies etc.

    If you are shopping for gf this app is a must, period.

    I think the app is missing a lot of involvement from restaurants, fast food, and tons of the gf products in the database. Many restaurants, pizza places, fast food etc are adding gf or are totally gf. Why aren’t they in this app? I would love to be able to see a list of gf restaurants, bakeries and menu items/options for fast food etc on this app. Their marketing departments should look to participate in this app to make it a one stop shop for gf and get more exposure too.

    But again, if you want or need gf, this is the best app for you. We have used it for a long time and scanned many hundreds of items.

    Thanks so much for your feedback! We so appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with our app. Usually, the “no internet connection” message appears due to a weak or irregular signal at the store. Some stores are in metal framed buildings causing a Faraday Cage effect, that may block the phone signal. If the app shows this message at your home and you’re sure that the connection of your iPhone is working fine, feel free to contact us at hello@scanglutenfree.com 🙂 As an exclusive option of the Full version, we save automatically all the scanned products that aren’t in the database (only the barcode numbers, to preserve the privacy) . In this way, we can give them priority in the research and review process 🙂 Thanks!
  • Awesome app!!!

    Love this app, takes the guessing out , especially when you at the grocery store and an item has ingredients that you can’t figure out , the restaurant info is awesome.
  • Just Okay

    I feel like $3.99 is alot to pay for this particular app. I originally bought it to help me navigate going gluten free but I am finding a majority of what I scan/look up isn’t even listed in the app. I will probably keep it for a bit longer just to see if anything changes but if not it is easier and takes less time to google the item.

  • White out

    I could like the app, but I have to delete it and reinstall it, I have had it about three hours and have had to do it twice, when I scan the whole page is white and you can’t to anything but click the home button and delete the app. Plus I’m charged each time! It’s a great app, if it works,
