Don’t trust it

If you have food allergies or restriction, avoid using this app. You’ll likely get sick or have a reaction. They claim that certain items are safe to consume, but if you scroll down you’ll find the same item listed as unsafe.
They also list false information. If you reach out to them for clarification via email, they say they will get back to you soon, but never do. In fact, I’m still waiting on a reply from last year. So, don’t trust anything you read on this app. The people that created this app obviously don’t have food allergies or dietary restrictions.

Scam

This app is useless. Don’t trust this app for real allergies always read the label and ingredients. I was using this to help my nursing infant with dairy and soy allergy and the app just relies on other users to input information. I was advised on a mom group about this app to find “hidden soy” not on allergen lists under ingredients and you just can’t trust it. Not worth the money at all.

Do not even try the free trial they will charge you for the full year and not refund you if you cancel before the end of the trial. I wrote to customer service and they were horrible. Don’t bother.

Not Really Free

Very misleading. After the 7-day trial, it automatically switches to a paid subscription unless you cancel. This should be clearly advertised as an app with in-app purchases instead of making it seem free. I will not not be using this app especially after reading reviews that say they make it almost impossible to cancel after the 7 days.

Amazing, so helpful

I’ve been trying to figure out my migraine triggers for years. With this app I can select 25 seemingly random preservatives or ingredients to avoid. It helps me shop at grocery stores and gives me safe recipes to cook…and all with the free version of this app!!!!
I was so overwhelmed and sad until I found this app. Thank you so much.

I love Fig

I love this app- I could not have done the AIP diet without this app- the scanner made it so easy when shopping at the store to identify and call out each potential risk. Would recommend to anyone needing to follow a modification diet or who wants to eat anti inflammatory
