### 5/5 — So helpful!

*2026-08-13, version 1.0.44*

I care about what I'm feeding my family, and their personal care products etc. Of course I can read labels, but that's time-consuming and most of the time I have to get out my reading glasses to do it. With one quick scanning, Bobbie shows me what to beware of and why. I love it 💕

### 5/5 — Frozen burritos

*2026-08-12, version 1.0.44*

### 5/5 — Awesome Information

*2026-08-06, version 1.0.44*

If you are looking for a quick and easy way to check ingredients in the grocery store, this free app is amazing! Educate yourself on what you are putting into your body!

### 5/5 — Healthy ingredients or not?

*2026-08-05, version 1.0.44*

This app is my go to for deciding what I want to put in my body. Bobby does a great job at explaining the ‘why’ behind each ingredient that isn’t good for us, so you can decide for yourself if it’s something that you want to consume.  He also gives healthy alternatives to the product that you’re considering.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2026-08-03, version 1.0.44*

### 5/5 — Learning a lot!

*2026-08-03, version 1.0.44*

I’ve been learning to eat clean ingredients and non chemical products 👍🏼

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2026-08-02, version 1.0.44*

I down loaded this app yesterday at the store.  Boy…did it open my eyes.  Many of the items in my buggy was out back.  I leaned as well what some of the ingredients meant.

I am on  new journey that I will  it buy anything if the app does approve.  

Thank you Bobby for all the hard work.

### 2/5 — Not a great app

*2026-08-02, version 1.0.44*

I like Bobby’s videos and reasoning behind why some foods are not good vs others; this app needs a lot of work, it’s not intuitive as to why, explanations are vaguely same. Search is impossible, half of the time images don’t load.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-07-27, version 1.0.44*

When I scanned some ice cream, it said Not Bobby Approved because of sugar. I mean ice cream needs at least some sugar.

### 1/5 — Help

*2026-06-25, version 1.0.44*

Bobby, I love you so much but I’m 64 years old and I still like to cheat a little bit with food and personal care… I still wanna go out and get a beautiful tan you’re still not answering my question what type of tanning lotion can I use you keep giving thumbs down to everything. Are you trying to tell me I should not use any tanning oil Please give me a response. Thanks. I am one of your biggest fans.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-06-23, version 1.0.44*

This app recommends poor-quality products just to earn commissions. Some sponsored products contain high-risk additives, yet the app still rates them positively. The recommendations feel biased and driven by sponsorships rather than consumer health.

### 1/5 — Fear mongering social media influencer without any nutrition credentials

*2026-06-18, version 1.0.44*

This guy has no education, training, or certifications in nutrition or food science. Anti seed oil claims without evidence aren’t helping anyone eat healthier. No thanks. Deleting app and will use something evidence-based.
