But good although data seems opinion at times no references for concerns about safety ### 4/5 — One of the better E number food apps and currently it is probably the best app for the price. *2009-12-01, version 0* Selectable categories are limited to numerical and alphabetical, so there are none for vegetarian or preservatives and so on. Colour coding and graphics are nice and fit well, though very minimal. The bacteria icon could do with redesigning, as it looks closer to someone with their mouth open than to anything recognisable as bacteria. No notes or save option, although it does remember, or not delete, the last entry. Not as visually-based as "Food Additives" or "Foodditives" apps, although a little better designed and with a search feature over the former. Useless About button, although a nice photo (screenshot 5). Far too easy to accidentally change the colour rating of the E numbers; when the list comes up it always appears with a very large way to change the setting at a touch. If you as much as touch it, a tick or red delete cross appears(screenshot 3 and 4), which is a bit ambiguous when you are rushing about shopping. Personally, I never want to risk changing one unless I intentionally press a button labelled EDIT and I think this is a major design fault. No UK/USA/Euro/Australian unapproved food info - it really needs this. Having given the above critique after having downloaded many if not most of the currently available apps, this remains one the best for the money in terms of functionality, clarity, ease of use and amount of info, bettered only by the more expensive "Foodditives". ### 5/5 — Detailed content *2009-09-30* Greate content with lot of helpful info and very intuitive search. Nice app :) ### 5/5 — Good search capabilities *2009-09-29* The thing I liked in this app is the good search capability. You can type several numbers in the search field. It filters the content live , and after you enter the details you can brouse the other entries right from there. A bit early to judge the content, but you can rate the entry if you want. The UI not great. I will give some credit with those 5 stars with the suggestions to imrove the UI. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crash *2014-02-18* No working, just crashing ### 1/5 — Used to be useful *2013-07-03, version 1.3* This used to be a great little app: not much details but good for quickly looking up things. Then in the last version, it crashed when you tried to do the quick scroll. Now it just crashes whenever I open it. Really disappointed and frustrated. ### 1/5 — App Shows know toxic chemicals as safe? *2012-08-08* Diacetyl a additive to dairy and butter flavoring in popcorn is listed as a safe additive? It's list on USDA as unsafe to breath and more....??????? App must be designed by Major Food Conpanies and or Chemical Distributers.... ### 2/5 — Questionable sources *2023-11-09, version 4.0* Looks great but sources need to be improved. Eg 120 says it’s dangerous based on a hyperactive kids support group! What??! ### 2/5 — Latest update *2021-05-15, version 4.0* Really don’t like the update, I used this app to quickly search if something was vegan/plant based and could do so at a glance - now have to read all the info ☹️ ### 3/5 — Missing info *2017-03-01* Good app, excellent layout, easy to find an item, but the info for most of the additives are incomplete! For example: Titanium Dioxide "Functions: Whitening agent in toothpaste, surface coating and also to help" HELP WHAT?!?! That's how the sentence ends! Most of the additives I browsed end like this. Please fix this!!! Similar apps have more info, but I'm sticking with this one in the hopes that this problem will be fixed because I like the design overall. ### 3/5 — Crashes every time *2013-06-20, version 1.3* Haven't had a chance to try yet as it crashes upon opening. ### 3/5 — Good info but... *2013-04-17, version 1.2.0* App crashes when you try to use alpha/numerical index on the side. Otherwise great. Easy to use, and clear relevant info. ### 3/5 — The colour of food *2010-02-23, version 0* Nice app with good description and search function. May wish to include Chem formulas as an add on later ? ### 3/5 — Needs more work *2009-10-01* Many entries have little info. Well, mostly the safe ones, but still... The rating edtiting has a design borrowed from Windows 95. Needs better info and better look. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2014-10-12, version 2.0* So useful for vegans - Thank you! ### 5/5 — Really informative *2014-07-21, version 2.0* I like this app. It's quick, simple and easy to look up any suspicious ingredients with a traditional traffic light system. ### 5/5 — Really handy *2014-06-14, version 2.0* Very useful app when I'm stood in the sweetie shop being bombarded with E numbers . Now I can make decisions easier and faster . ### 5/5 — Should be in top 10! *2014-06-08, version 2.0* This app is so good, it really should be in the top ten! Either for health or just all over top ten! It's so easy to use and understand, many other apps are all over the place, and they hardly explain anything. Good work, 5 Stars! ### 5/5 — Good and simple *2013-12-24, version 1.3* Does what it should ### 5/5 — Excellent!! *2013-06-03* No ratings ?? Very good application!! ### 5/5 — 5 *2013-01-23, version 1.2.0* One of the best apps ever!.........Great app ### 5/5 — Very pleased to find this app! *2010-10-20* My family has food sensitivities and this is a great resource for us. Very simple, practical and intuitive layout. I wish all parents had access to this app, so they could better understand what they are feeding their children. I would suggest refining it a bit - based on the studies I've read, MSG should be in the red zone, both forms of Aspartame should be listed as red/unsafe, and all of the sugar alcohols can cause digestive problems (erythritol to a lesser degree). ### 5/5 — Nice program *2010-03-04* Has a detailed information for each additive such as risks, effects etc. ### 5/5 — Good App :) *2009-10-01* Thank you guys for the useful application. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
