### 4/5 — Application à avoir dans son smartphone

*2021-12-01, version 0.2*

Application téléchargée hier… Elle est zéro carbone, utile à avoir dans son téléphone et respecte la vie privée des consommateurs. Elle est aussi disponible sur le web grâce à sa version en ligne. Enfin, les données s’y trouvant sont fiables car proviennent entre autres du GS1.

### 5/5 — Très utile

*2021-11-24, version 0.2*

Quand on est allergique ou intolérant c’est souvent compliqué d’acheter des produits en étant sûr à 100% qu’on aura pas de réactions. On peut juger de l’esthétique (comme l’autre commentaire le fait remarquer) mais je dirais chacun ses goûts.
Pour moi cette app est bien faite et utile ET gratuite ET sans collectes de données pour de la revente!
Moi je tire mon chapeau aux développeurs et je conseille cette application

### 2/5 — Décevant

*2021-11-04, version 0.2*

L’idée est bonne mais une App “libre”, “sans but lucratif”, “zero carbone” “pour le plus grand nombre” ne veut pas forcément dire : App pas user friendly, lente, buggée et pas du tout soignée esthétiquement. La pub sur youtube n’aura servi qu’a se rendre compte que cette App n’est pas aboutie avant de la désinstaller. Dommage..

PS : le calcul des calories/macro semble erroné quand on calcul manuellement le total des glucides/lipides/protéines…
