Not good for alpha gal

I read an article that said this app was good for alpha gal. Definitely not. No meat category at all for allergens. Way better apps out there.

Premium

I paid for yearly premium subscription and somehow it has been cancelled, the whole interface of the app has changed so you can no longer compare with other similar products and no longer offers recommendations for similar products. There is also NOWHERE to email a complaint and there is NOWHERE to sign in to prove I paid for it. Essentially I no longer have access for the premium subscription I paid for. Don’t pay for premium!!!

Works just fine

Don’t know what all the whining about the app not scanning is about, it works fine for me, my wife, and everyone I’ve suggested it to. We find the app invaluable when trying to keep unhealthy additives and ingredients out of our food.

Could you please try removing and reinstalling the app? Sometimes, an old cache can cause issues. If it still doesn’t open, please send me an email at akhandafm17@gmail.com, and I will try to solve the problem.

Sorry for the inconvenience. There was a bug that caused the crash. I see that you have version 2.0.9. Can you try the new update, version 2.0.10? I hope it will solve the problem. Whether the problem is solved or not, please contact me at akhandafm17@gmail.com.

Good idea

I tested this app quite a while now. The claim of this app is to protect us from harmful food ingredients, which sounds like a very great idea. But since this app doesn‘t tell you whether food contains bioengineered ingredients (earlier named GMO) it falls pretty short of its purpose.

Great app I just wish that the database was larger for all western world societies, perhaps in time this will happen I also would like to see a harmful toxins list too as we can’t trust those we placed in power to look out for the general public.

Failure

I understand that it’s kind of new to develop these kind of apps but I scanned 15 items at a local Costco and it had zero hits they can do better. I’m going to delete and wait until another. One comes around.

We're sorry to hear that our app did not meet your expectations during your recent visit to Costco. While our database currently recognizes over 5 million products, we acknowledge that there are still many we have yet to include. To help us improve, could you please send the details of the products you scanned, such as the product name and barcode number, to akhandafm17@icloud.com? Your feedback is invaluable as we strive to enhance our app's accuracy and user experience. Thank you for your patience and assistance.

Great concept but no instructions how to use!

Disappointing
After much guesswork it seems you can only scan barcodes to find out ingredience which is ok
But the app should provide a set of instructions

Unsatisfactory

You need to put a white background with black lettering so that you can actually read the words in your app. Your request for a review popped up immediately. I have not been able to figure out how to scan something and get information back yet.

Terrible scanner

When it actually scans it’s amazingly detailed. But good luck getting it to work. I just updated it and it still barely scans
