### 5/5 — Best app ever

*2026-08-02, version 11.03*

Love this app so much.

### 1/5 — Pointless Vegan Pro

*2026-07-28*

Have used Fussy Vegan for a number of years now, but it’s clear this app no longer keeps up. It’s no longer part of my regular shopping routine because checking products for their status yields almost always zero results. Too many items not indexed, wrong barcodes and hundreds of images of products missing. It appears they also can no longer be bothered including non-vegan products to confirm their status. Raised concerns to customer service on multiple occasions, however they blatantly ignore messages or respond rudely to the slightest bit of criticism. Embarrassed to have recommended this app to so many.

### 1/5 — Poor behaviour

*2026-07-11, version 11.03*

Developer blocks users on social media for giving feedback

### 1/5 — NZ user disappointed.

*2026-05-01, version 10.76*

Overall really disappointing, unlikely to use as the work hasn’t been done uploading most New Zealand vegan options.

Out of date with products no longer made and sold still listed.

Glitch in Food Chain segment when clicking on some options.

### 1/5 — Great but now AI

*2026-04-19*

Get rid of the AI

Update:

Snarky response from developer. Seems fine with AI but clearly happy to ignore the environmental aspects of AI and then seems to think just because Apple and everyone else uses AI it is okay, but most people eat animal products, doesn't make it right and a vegan business should know better. 

AI is not needed in this instance. it has potential for medicine and could solve some of the world's biggest problems but is not needed in day to day life like a vegan products list.

**Developer response:** You do know that AI is used in almost all aspects of technology, including this rating system on the App Store. We are not going to apologise for making the app more user friendly.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app!

*2025-12-21, version 10.60*

This is a brilliant app, and the service from the developer is out of this world. 
1000% would recommend!

### 5/5 — Excellent interface and speed

*2025-10-25, version 10.58*

Love this app, had it for years. I also recommend to people with allergies so they know what products are ok to eat

### 2/5 — Limited but can be handy

*2025-06-27*

If you shop at either Coles and Woolies and are new to veganism, this app may be for you. If you eat a mainly WFPB diet or you shop at independents, I wouldn’t bother.

I have in the past had to update the company about a product that was no longer vegan (as it was listed as vegan in the app). I know company’s change recipes and it would be difficult to stay on top of all the updates, but if you can’t rely on the app I feel like it’s a bit of a waste.

### 5/5 — So handy

*2025-05-05, version 9.31*

Using this app a lot to check out supermarket groceries.  Super handy.

### 5/5 — So helpful

*2025-02-04, version 9.25*

Great app, great communication when things haven’t been on the app. Worth it.
