Good reference

I often refer to this app when I’m reading the ingredients list on product packaging. It’s impossible to remember what all of these mystery chemicals are that are added to what we eat.

I tried going to the app support link but it just has a logo picture and nothing else and it doesn’t have any way to communicate with the developers. Perhaps the page is not mobile friendly so other things just don’t show up.

I would like to suggest you add things added to crops that are not added at the time of making a product but remain from the application during growing. Such as glyphosate. It seems to be in so many food products now. It would be worth knowing more about what it does in the body.

Virtually Useless in free mode - no results

As someone who purchased the first version of this app, I was hopeful that the new version would be as useful.
After typing in 5 numbers, each time the result was
“No results”
Not sure if this is just because the ones I typed in were part of the paid version or if the app just didn’t have the numbers. Either way, it makes the app useless.

Too sneaky

Shows as being a free download, but once downloaded you are invited to upgrade for $2,99. Only a small number of additives are available on the free version. 450 more available on the paid version. I probably would have paid if it wasn’t done in such a sneaky way!
