Best app ever
Love this app so much.
Pointless Vegan Pro
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.

Poor behaviour
Developer blocks users on social media for giving feedback
NZ user disappointed.
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Out of date with products no longer made and sold still listed.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.

Great but now AI
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.

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

Excellent interface and speed
Love this app, had it for years. I also recommend to people with allergies so they know what products are ok to eat
Limited but can be handy
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.

So handy
Using this app a lot to check out supermarket groceries. Super handy.
So helpful
Great app, great communication when things haven’t been on the app. Worth it.
Not USA friendly
I went around my house scanning barcodes and none were found in the app. The fact that this app doesn’t really work for US items would have been nice to know before I purchased it.
Response from developer
Please note that in the App Store description for the app, under key features, the first line is “* Scan the barcode on grocery and other products to check whether that product is vegan or not (Australia and New Zealand).” We would appreciate removing the negative review and asking Apple for a refund instead of you purchased the app in error.
Not ready for NZ market yet
Not many NZ products listed. Will be great once it’s complete. I wish I’d waited a few months to buy it as $20 is a lot for an app
Needs a lot of improvement
I don’t understand how this app has such good reviews. The only things on here are the very obviously vegan products, 80-90% of the items I’ve scanned haven’t been registered, more than a few have brought up the wrong product. Not only this, you pay for the app and then they still expect you to also buy a subscription for most features. Not impressed at all.

Response from developer
We have over 100,000 Australian products in the app database. The successful scan rate (where the barcode scanned by an app user matches a product in the database is over 90%). Please also note that all of the core features of the app are available without a subscription. The optional subscription provides additional features. If nothing is scanning for you, perhaps you should lodge a support ticket within the app for assistance as clearly most people don’t share your experience, hence why we have a 4.9 average rating with over 1000 ratings.
Thanks fussy vegan team
This has been such a helpful resource. No more spending hours at the grocery store reading labels and trying to figure out what is vegan and what isn’t.
So great!
I love this app already and it will only get better in NZ with time. I’ve learned so much reading the information on it and seeing what vegan options there are that I had no clue about! The restaurant information is also really helpful and the fact that it works in NZ and Australia is a huge bonus for work trips and holidays. Thanks for the hard mahi on this!

Just OK
The app isn’t very set up for NZ yet which is a shame, but I look forward to it having more NZ products and restaurants listed in the future.
So fun and helpful (from NZ)
I normally do not enjoy shopping. At all. But I felt almost giddy scanning products. Some of our staples are not listed yet, so we took lots of photos to help with the database. It sparked a community feeling I don’t have often as we don’t know many vegans in person.
The app was very helpful finding suitable snacks for our first overnight tramping trip. And I saw so many items in the product lists that I’d never have bothered checking as they had “beef” or “chicken” in the name (lots of instant noodles for example), that are actually vegan.
Amazing resource, that’s going to get even better over time!
