VERY GOOD 🐄

Recently downloaded this app and I absolutely love it. FREE, very well designed and easy to use. I’m new to being vegan and it makes it a lot easier to feel motivated to keep it up, especially when I’m frequently told that veganism is pointless since someone’s just going to eat it anyway. I love animals and I love the feature where you can see the animals lives saved and despite the horrifying tolls I also find the kill count very moving. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this app and would 100% recommend to any other vegan.

As for the meat-eaters, it’s not made for you 🤦‍♀️ stop leaving bad reviews on a genuinely helpful app.

One thing I would like to see improved is the actual fact checking abilities. The app does list the conspiracy movie as a source and then the cowspiracy website also lists sources but it’s a long rabbit hole to find a credible source. Not that it’s not a credible app, I do believe it is. However it would be nice to have something of a references page with credible sources linked on the app, both for some of us nerdy vegans peace of mind, but also to show to non vegan friends who may dismiss the statistics as fabricated. Overall though it’s an amazing app! 🩷
