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.

Forces sign in to create an account

I should it be forced to create an account to find out about products

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.

Unable to scan

Keeps throwing me off of if I attempt to scan

Won’t scan

When I try and get a barcode, the app crashes.

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!

Great app

After learning about Ridge land farms knew I had to make a change. I never knew how many products I had in my home that tested on innocent animals. Now I fully understand what animal testing actually is and what I can do to boycott brands that still experiment on animals. There are so many other ways to test a product. There is no need to torture animals just for a product that fails clinical trials %90 of the time. Make the change and go cruelty free!!! Thank you for this app and helping people understand what animal testing really is

Best App Ever

COMPLETELY FREE!!! This app tells you whether or not a product you are looking at or for is cruelty free. You can scan the barcode on the product itself or just search the brand and it will tell you.

crashing

good concept but keeps crashing after scanning barcode

Response from developer

Hi! This is very unexpected (and unpleasant!) behaviour. Could you please drop us a line at support@cruelty-cutter.org so we can work with you on the problem. It would be particularly helpful to know what type of device you are using - iPhone, iPad, etc. and the model. Thank you very much!

Easy to use and a great cause

Great to see what products I will be keeping and getting rid of, by if it’s cruelty safe. I was shocked with some items that I scanned, this app definitely deserves more attention. If your item has never been scanned by a user it turns into doggy dollers it’s great, I recommend very great app to use if you are about our animals, bugs and updates all fixed easy to work!

Brilliant App

Couldn’t recommend more!

Best App

The app is so simple to use, scan a bar code!

Suggest substituting

None of these apps gives suggestions on alternatives to the product you’re scanning or have a list of let’s say toothpaste that are cruelty free. I suggest using a search based on what type of product we are looking for.

Response from developer

We'd love to do this, but haven't been able to figure out how to do this on a per-product basis. It would be cool if I scanned a tube of "Hello Oral Care Charcoal Toothpaste" and in addition to finding it to be a brand from Procter and Gamble, that we could figure out other Charcoal toothpaste brands in the store where I am and list those instead. The problem is the size of the market and the scope of our database. Unlike most of the other organizations that provide information about product testing practices and that report on a couple of thousand companies in a few countries, our data covers products from 106 countries. Specifically, we track over 400,000,000 individual products from roughly 12,000 companies. Local availability is also an issue - that toothpaste which is available in Australia or India may not be on the market in Chile or Canada. Meanwhile, we do offer the information through the ability to search product categories (such as "dental care") and find companies that sell a particular type of product. You can search particular brand names (for instance, "Crest") to find if the brand as a whole is cruelty-free. We do kinda keep dreaming about the idea because it would be SOOOO cool for the shoppers, but realistically, scaling down the trivial many (20,000 or so entries associated with just the word "toothpaste") to the significant few (the exact tubes available at my local Loblaws grocery) is a task that hasn't (at least yet) worked well with even AI tools. But we do have hope... At any rate, thank you for writing. We do agree it is a highly desireable feature.

Super App

Die app ist mega hilfreich wenn man nicht bei jedem produkt googlen möchte. Ich hatte bis jetzt noch keine schwierigkeiten, dass es keine infos zum Unternehmen gab oder sonstiges. Kann ich nur wirklich nur empfehlen!

Pretty useless

This app is almost useless. The scanner has not worked in months and still does not work. The search bar turns up nothing by category. I love the Beagle Freedom Project and my beagle, but not this app. Do better.

Response from developer

It sounds like the app does not have a good internet connection or something like that. If you want to drop a line to support@cruelty-cutter.org, they can schedule someone to work with you to diagnose what is wrong.

Payment

How much is this app?

Response from developer

it is free. No advertising, either. It is a service paid for by the Beagle Freedom Project, a 501(c)(3) tax exempt non-profit and offered as a public service in the interest of ending unnecessary animal testing.

Excellent!

This app works well to easily verify if a company has a cruelty free policy (scans quickly too)! Would you consider adding food products to your database?
