Paywall
It’s a great idea, but this app is inaccessible to those who want to shop ethically but are unable to afford the $40 annual subscription. This impact of the app could be much higher with a lower subscription fee or if the cost of research/development was offset with ads from companies above a B tier rating.

Asking to rate before you use the app
It’s not free. Asking the consumer to rate before using the app once, is so unethical considering you have to pay to use the app. This is the world we live in.
Nice idea, needs work
I like the idea of this app as it is often difficult to make ethical choices. However most of the brands I tried were not available (many were UK based companies, including major banks, energy providers, etc).
The app itself needs work to accommodate accessibility features I have turned on such as ensuring larger text is not cut off (e.g. it needs to word wrap if it goes past a single line, e.g. on the feedback page I couldn’t read a question because it was cut off)

Ironically Un-Ethical
I love the concept behind the app, but locking it’s features behind a paywall is very disappointing. Shopping ethically should be made as easy and accessible as possible in order to maximize the amount of people participating, and therefore maximizing the potential impact this app could make. Charging to access the services just comes across as a scummy buisness trying to make money off people who want to do the right thing.

Paywalling information
Just another company look to make a quick buck off of you. If these people truly cared about making the world a better place, they wouldn’t paywall so much info. The problem is they pose their app on social media as a bastion of truth, and a tool to help you be conscious - but it’s not a tool for collective social justice - it’s just another product. At least if I subscribed to a journalist, I’m getting information that’s not publicly and FREELY available.
