Trip Saver!

This app was so helpful on a recent trip to the Dominican Republic. It really helped to bridge the language barrier. Several waiters thanked me for making my allergies so clear for them. Thank you Equal Eats!

Love the idea, can’t believe you have to pay so much

I understand everyone has to make money, saw a TikToker advertise this and the physical card and thought it was a great idea (and it is!)
But £14.99 a month or £179 a year to use an app is ridiculous, especially for something like this, this is real life for people I have a severe peanut allergy and thought this app would’ve been perfect, but I can’t frankly afford that much per month or year!
Great idea, just please think about your pricing.

Thanks for your feedback - wishing you saw the annual plan which is actually an amazing deal at less than the cost of two months. Please reach out to us next time with questions and we're happy to point in the right place! We spend so much on obtaining the most accurate translations possible and try to provide the best value possible for them! Kyle Equal Eats

You NEED this app!

The Equal Eats app is such a lifesaver! As someone with celiac disease who travels the world, I really don’t know what I would do without it. The subscription gets you access to every available allergen in every language which is just invaluable. This is by far the most helpful resource for communicating dietary restrictions while traveling!

Unequal Eats

I bought a physical card for my alpha gal allergy that’s available on their website. They emailed me to download the app to have a digital card, so I did and made an account just to find out they don’t have a digital option for alpha gal. I can’t even make a custom card and select mammals/red meat. I get that there are a lot of allergies, but at least offer the same cards that are on your own website.

Also I don’t see why I need to download an app. I just want a digital card added to my Apple wallet that is the same as what I purchased. Seems like a scam to force an app downloads to get subs and user data.

We fully understand and happy to say Alpha Gal cards are coming this winter to the app. This is our newest card and it's simply not ready across all 50 languages yet. Our translation and review process is rigorous, and we wouldn't dream of releasing it until we're absolutely sure it's correct and accurate. We apologize this has been less than ideal, but we promise that we're on it! We've looked at Apple Wallet integration, and unfortunately it wouldn't show the sheer amount of allergy info that we can within our app. It wouldn't keep you as safe - and that's our top priority.

So valuable

This app proved itself to be so valuable for our family. Highly recommend to other travellers with food allergies to help bridge language barriers.

Great for Travel!

We’ve used our hard copies of our Equal Eats cards for the past year and had tremendous success using them in France, Italy and Switzerland while traveling with our 12yo with peanut and tree nut allergies. As she’s entering the age of using her own phone and devices, I love being able to have these available digitally and not just hard copies that remain with one person. It also allows my husband to use the same app to present them to waiters/chefs if he is with her dining out without me (especially since the cards seem to live in my purse!).

Super convenient and comforting

I travel a lot and this is an incredibly useful tool for conveying dietary restrictions. It’s very comforting to know that the three-tiered translation and review process communicates my needs in the native language wherever I am… I don’t worry about any translation issues when dining out. Definitely recommend!

Works ok, but a money grab

The translations are good and we used them on our trip successfully. But the app does not work offline (a travel app!), does not remember the language you were using last, is slow to change languages, and has a greedy subscription model.

It’s clear the subscription is there just to extract recurring money from you not to add any value.

We probably would have been fine using a standard translate app instead of buying this, with all the negatives.

Good news! Offline mode is now available! Also, you can now save your default language so it remembers for each use. Thanks for your feedback! We take it seriously and have invested in the continuous improvement of the app. Please be careful using any other translate app and double check translations. We use a three-tiered system to ensure accuracy. Our tech is continually improving (you have to start somewhere), but our process to ensure safe translations is steadfast and represents our true value.

Good and easy, but basic.

Unless you have a regular or average allergy/food restriction this is not the app for you. I would add another star if you could pick and choose certain phrases to go with the ability to input your own allergy.

Thanks for downloading the first version of our app! It has now been fully overhauled and relaunched - I’d love for you to take it for another spin! It’s now easier than ever to create customized digital cards and communicate food allergies effectively across the globe.

Great product and service

This is a great product, and the team at Equal Eats have been super responsive and helpful. We used to make these cards ourselves when we travelled overseas, but that meant finding a native speaker colleague or friend to confirm the translation, cutting a sheet of paper into lots of credit card size pieces which would then not last the trip because they weren't plasticised etc. and didn't look "official", worrying that the translation we had wasn't accurate etc etc.
