Bug fixes and performance improvements

i want to love it

the fact that every time i try to sign in on the app becomes a chore (i go to favorite an item, im prompted to log in, the app browser window pops up and logs me in, and im logged in on the app browser but if i close that out or exit the app it does not stay logged in the ACTUAL app interface for the life of me) makes me a lot less likely or encouraged to use it, but i like the concept.

Great Idea not working currently

I tried it on Amazon through safari and everything was going great easy to set up. But when I searched for example water bottles on Amazon And click the UI for goodbuy the results were things like pillows, bug spray and a couple water bottles didn’t match my search results. I replicated this with a lot of searches.

You’ll use this app

Goodbuy helps us to support causes we believe in by being more conscious of where we spend our money.

I really like how goodbuy is built in as an extension, rather than the kinds of apps that only let you scan a bar code or type in the sku numbers.

I’ll definitely share this with my friends and family since they share the shop small / local sentiment.

Disappointed

I downloaded this app and I was really excited to use it but I keep encountering the same issue over and over of getting a message that says I need to enable a Safari extension.

Love this concept!

So great to be able to have all the products I typically search for in one place! Two ideas I have so for: - embedded browser with an option to open in the phones default browser; - a search option for clean ingredient products (example, clothing that’s 100% organic hemp, body products that are pure organic ingredients, snacks that have clean ingredients, etc) I also noticed on a company I no longer wanted to see, when I hit the button to do so, the reasons “why” I wanted to hide the company greatly overlap one another. I have also noticed if I have sustainable and American made selected, I do get products that are made in China and not sustainable mixed in with ones that are. For those of us who struggle finding products that are clean, sustainable, fair trade, made in America, and woman or black woman owned (these are actually how long my Google searches get ha!) it’s always been a struggle to hit all those points so I am very excited about this app and sharing with my friends! Thank you!
