### 4/5 — Clean and has potential

*2025-05-01*

Billed as a way to check for allergens yet nuts aren’t included in tags? Unclear what search actually searches. Only history or external? Because it doesn’t work. And if ingredients aren’t available for a product why not crowd source the info and let users add an image or text? I think this could be a useful app but for now all it does is tell me things I bought for their sugar have sugar. [updated to 4 stars and hopeful with plan for improvement]

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback! The search functionality should work now so you can look up any product in our database. And you’re right about the other suggestions - I'll take a look at improving those. I really appreciate you giving Apricot a try and I hope you'll have a chance to see the improvements based on your feedback soon!
