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.

Love it!

Love this app, really has turned around EVERYTHING i use in my home. Although, maybe a suggestion. Maybe add a section that could allow the users to suggest brands and items to be put on the app for future updates!
