It gives me a headache behind my right eye that is extremely painful. I can't even make a new account on this app. I purchased something that I can't use. How do I get a refund? I’m sad b/c I really wanted something to help me find these hidden msg ingredients. ### 1/5 — Crear usuario *2021-01-25* No he llegado ni a poder usarlo. No reconocía mi teléfono como válido ### 1/5 — Be wary *2020-12-27, version 1.01* I checked allergens for granola and listed in the ingredients is coconut but it was not listed as an allergen. It also did state the May Contain ingredients that the package states. They need to put more effort into being more thorough. ### 1/5 — Doc evie *2020-12-05, version 1.01* No better than the labels on the products. No information on what is in the natural flavors, Shoah can include soy lecithin. Also no information on dr. Pepper containing pepper which is one of my allergens. ### 1/5 — Pointless *2020-02-23, version 1.01* Explain that you only get a few looks ups per day before trying to make you pay for an app ### 1/5 — Useless without paying to upgrade *2019-11-28, version 1.01* If you have the “basic” subscription it only allows you to look up ingredients in 1 product per day. If you are wanting to grocery shop and look up multiple products in a day it is pointless. For example, I type in pickles- I click on one of the products listed to see ingredients- go back to search results and will not tell me the ingredients or color code whether it is safe or not (green/red) on any of the products that popped up under search. .It also does not include non-consumable products which is a downside as my allergy is in both food and cosmetic products. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fatta male *2024-03-13* Fatta male e poco affidabile. Si tratta di rischio per la salute e le risposte non sono chiare. Meglio prendersi il fastidio di leggere con i propri occhi sulla confezione . ### 1/5 — Won’t let me sign up *2023-01-17, version 1.09* Keeps saying to enter my phone number. I’ve tried multiple phone numbers and it won’t let me sign up ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work! *2022-02-21, version 1.09* I typed in my full list of allergens. Then tested the efficiency of this app by merely checking the printout of my allergens, by using the camera within the app, to see if it found any from my list I typed in….it found ZERO. So how can I trust that it’ll find the items from my allergen list within an ingredients list?! So frustrating! ### 1/5 — Failure *2021-09-04* Failed to find three of my main allergen, I will not trust this and it’s going in the bin. ### 1/5 — Sad *2021-08-20, version 1.09* Cant sign in or sign up ☹️ i have severe food allergies and this would have been so helpful ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-05-12, version 1.07* Great idea/concept I am so interested and have been searching for an app like this however my allergen is milk and I scanned half and half to test and it told me there’s no allergens found (first ingredient milk) When I scanned the barcode it informs me that product has not been added yet But there is no way for me to add it to the system Great idea terrible execution ### 1/5 — Does not work *2021-05-08, version 1.07* The app doesn’t work ### 1/5 — uh no *2021-05-05, version 1.07* Was interested in the scanner. App proceeded to tell me that a can of peanuts did not include any allergens. ### 1/5 — Pay to enter? *2021-04-25, version 1.07* I mean if you want people to pay a premium at least ask for it at the door.. or specify its more or less of a free trial before hand.. i dont understand why people should have to pay for an app like this its actually helpful to a lot of people including myself. Honestly not worth it in the end everyone that lives with an allergy has an idea of what they can and cant eat as well this i think would only be useful on random occasions ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work? *2021-03-09, version 1.07* It doesn’t let me sign in or do anything beyond the welcome screen. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent *2021-12-02, version 1.09* Excellent customer service. Any time I had a question they have been answered immediately!! The app works great. Thank you ### 5/5 — RyRy *2021-04-18, version 1.07* 😍We love using Allergen Inside! The new label reader is awesome! We don’t have to rely on scanning barcodes to see if a product is safe! ### 5/5 — Incredibly Helpful For New Allergen Discoveries! *2020-12-19, version 1.01* After over a year of searching for the reason as to why I have been so sick and having severe allergic reactions, I’ve finally come to find out that I have a lactose allergy. My reactions have become more severe with time and not knowing exactly what foods contain lactose had me in a panic until I found this app. I have a pretty restricted diet from now on and this app provides so much help in knowing what is okay to eat and what to avoid. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2020-09-12, version 1.01* Love it ### 5/5 — Lifesaving *2019-11-12, version 1.01* The fact that allergens are taken more seriously by the food industry is startling to say the least. However, this app and the makers are wonderful people who are giving invaluable information. I can not say enough good things about this app and the company behind it. I rely on it to be able to eat most things and I appreciate it so much. ### 5/5 — Allergen Inside App *2019-11-09, version 1.01* This app is absolutely invaluable to say the least! Between recall alerts , new products and research to allergen friendly companies like makeup and places to eat! Love love love everything about this app! ❤️ ### 4/5 — 👍 *2021-02-15, version 1.06* 👍 ### 4/5 — Wonderful app... if you pay *2020-10-18, version 1.01* I give this app 4 stars and not 5 because it has a tiered membership the more you pay the more access you have. Having 6 allergies that impact my daily life and Especially my wallet, having to pay monthly for even more to avoid my allergies is draining and frustrating. The app itself is actually way more accurate than other website and apps I’ve tried. I can’t believe it isn’t more popular. It even listed my uncommon food allergy, Onion, as a filter option when customizing my allergy list. Which is not offered on any other app or website. For that I am immensely grateful and impressed. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
