Works excellently.

It actually works and I never knew I had products in my home where the companies actually tested on innocent animals. I am an Animal Rights activist and even if you’re not, I still highly recommend this as a way to support action being taken Against animal cruelty especially when cases such as Envigo, Ridglan Farms and Marshall BioResources FINALLY arise. Thank you for this app. It’s such a dream and an honor to have it here with me today.

Useless right now

I downloaded this on 6/12/26. Tried to use it on 6/13/26. Every time I scan a barcode the app crashes. No worth the space it’s taking up on my phone.
