### 1/5 — Liars

*2026-03-27, version 3.1.1*

This app flat out lies about brands being cruelty free that aren’t. And PETA’s BS certification is a pay to play smoke and mirrors with zero requirements or regulations. Leaping Bunny is the only true CF certification that makes companies put their money where their mouth is.

### 2/5 — I can never find the companies I search for!

*2023-06-14, version 3.0.2*

When I go to a store- I search for a brand I haven't heard of before with the intention of finding out whether they test on animals or not- 7 times out of 10 (and I’m being generous here) the search results on this app comes out blank. I resort to websites like cruelty free kitty (crueltyfreekitty.com) and ethical elephant (ethicalelephant.com). I’m in the process of finding a new app for quick lookups because I’ve given this app too many years to update itself.

### 2/5 — Where are the brands?

*2022-11-18, version 3.0.2*

The only brands that are on this list are mainstream brands. Most of the brands I look up are not on the list- either testing or non testing. I need to find a more reliable and current list. This is not it.

### 1/5 — US companies only

*2022-04-30, version 3.0.2*

I don’t know why this is on the UK App Store as it’s for American companies. The majority of brands I searched didn’t even come up.

### 3/5 — A rien y comprendre!!

*2021-09-08*

Je ne comprends rien à cette appli!
Déjà ce qu’il serait bien c’est que ça soit en français. Qu’il y ait un scan code barre. Et qu’on ne galère pas pour chercher un produit.
Pour l’instant je n’ai trouvé aucun produit que j’ai écrit dans les recherches. 
Le (simple gel douche ) petit Olivier , on m’envoie sur une liste alphabétique dont je ne connais aucun produits inscrits. Je n’y comprends rien!
Comment on s’en sert?! Je ne sais pas. 
Dommage car l’idée est très bonne.

### 2/5 — No giant brand in it

*2021-04-23, version 3.0.2*

Didn’t find anything

### 5/5 — PeopleEatingTastyAnimals

*2021-02-08*

The white man is not only an animal, but an anti-animal. I’m sick of those cowardly chickens hating on the oppressed in the animal KINGdom.
What slimy snakes they are! We don’t need no stinking badgers!
And when the twisted nitwits at PETA vomit their beastly, despicable rot, those dirty rats are always snitching on us!
And what about the ferocious undocumented wildlife! Let them animals in too!

Free PUNXSUTAWNEY PHIL!!!
and the ELEPHANT MAN!!!

### 1/5 — Never trust PETA.

*2020-07-05, version 3.0.2*

PETA has killed over 40,000 animals in their shelter since 1998 (petakillsanimals.com). If you really support animal rights, DO NOT SUPPORT PETA.

### 5/5 — Needs improving but it’s a great idea

*2020-03-13, version 3.0.2*

I love this app and the whole idea behind it but it just needs to be updated to be able to find more brands

### 4/5 — New app.

*2020-01-19, version 3.0.2*

Much better.
Hate it.
