Very Unhappy
Just bought this app and was all excited thinking it would be easier to find stuff GF considering I have a Gluten intolerance. I tried to scan these HEB pork meatballs we got and it said “no record found” and then we tried to search them to no avail. I’m disappointed in this app that is pretty pricey at $4 for something basic that isn’t even updated properly.

Very helpful in the grocery store
Just got this because we think or daughter had a gluten intolerance. Paid for the full app right off the bat while I was shopping. Started scanning immediately and it worked perfectly on every single item I scanned. Thanks!!!
i like it but
i was recently diagnosed with Celiac a few months ago and this app has been very helpful in finding new snacks and foods and saving time finding them. however, the app has started to mess up in the way that i’ll want to scan something so i open it, it takes me to the search part, and i click on the scanner. but when i tap on it, it immediately pulls up “no internet connection found” even when i’m at home on wifi so i have to close the app and go back in to make it work which gets very frustrating when i’ve spent $4 on this app. i’m not sure if it’s just my phone or if it’s a problem with the app. i also don’t like that when i search something and click on an item, i click to go back and it takes me all the way to the top of the list. other than that, it’s a good app and it has been helpful in finding new foods to eat

Thanks for your feedback! Glad to know that our app is useful for you in finding new snacks and foods and saving time finding them 🙂 When appears the message “No Internet connection found” at home on wifi, if you tap the “ok” button, what happens? Please let us know more details at hello@scanglutenfree.com . About the back button in the Search option, we are working in a solution to come back to the same product that we will publish in the next release, with other improvements. Thanks in advance!
Super handy, time saving
The scanner makes it easy to remove from your cupboard any gluten-containing foods you have. As a new celiac pt, without this it would take HOURS to read all the labels. Also it suggests gluten free brands for when you are shopping for soy sauce etc etc
Thank you!
This App is fantastic! My Husband does the shopping, and it makes all the difference in the world. I would have given 5 stars, however you’re still missing quite a few products!
Life is good
After recently becoming gluten free I have found this app to be of free at benefit. It’s so nice to be able to grocery shop and scan items to see if they are gluten free. This app has made my transition very easy!! Thank you!!
Convenient but...
This app is convenient, but there is almost no information on how they determine whether items are gluten free or not. You are left to assume that they know what they are doing. We’ve learned the hard way not to assume. I contacted the company and did not receive a response.
Needs an update
I have a gluten intolerance and this is super helpful. I especially love the scanning option, I do wish that when I went to Ana item, that when I hit the back button, it didn’t send me all the way to the top of the subsection. Example: when I select “candy and chocolate” then scroll down to and select “CASHEW COOKIE”. When I hit the back button, it sends me all the way back to the top of the “candy and chocolate” section. Also, maybe adding a favorites option so when seeing friends or relatives that are not celiac or gluten intolerant you can send them your favorites list of safe seasonings and sauces and other things that you can eat. Just a thought. This really is a great tool to have

We really appreciate your feedback about our app. Thanks so much!
Very useful but...
This is a great app. We have celiac in our household and this can save hours of time in the grocery store which is where I use it most (especially if you’re newly diagnosed). In fact, I scanned an item marked GF and it came up “can contain gluten.” Yikes! But, also a couple of drawbacks:
- I can tap on an item in the History tab, but there is no “back” button; so when when I go back to the History it always goes back to the top of the page instead of where I left off.
- Like others, the same items that are not in the free version are also not in the full version. My husband has the free version and I have the paid version (same type phones also) so we try it on both.
Other than that, I would highly recommend this app.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the app!
Very helpful
My grand daughter has to follow a GF diet. She is coming to stay for a week and I am GF ignorant. I downloaded the app this morning and just went to the grocery store. The app worked flawlessly! It simplified the whole shopping experience and I didn’t have to try to line up my bifocals on the list of ingredients. Thanks for making my day better!
