User reviews

Best Food Scanner

This is the best food scanner app I’ve found. I’m very conscious of what I eat, and it can be really hard to find healthy, unprocessed, and toxin-free foods at most grocery stores.

My favorite thing about this app compared to others is the score is broken down into processing and food safety (pesticides, chemicals etc) scores, so I can see what parts of the score matter most to me. Some apps only score by nutrient density, which isn’t helpful for avoiding things like phthalates or pesticides.

I’m super busy so I have to keep pre-packaged snacks on hand to bring with me to class and gym etc, and using this app makes grocery shopping so much quicker!

keeps trying to get me to invite friends

Tried to search a catagory - bread - when i tried to search I would get a pop up to invite friends. When I would close the pop up it would take me to the scanner. Never got search results. Deleted the app.

There’s a bug

There seems to be a bug that constantly kicks me out of the app every time I use it. I love the app and wish to use it more but it’s difficult to use because of this.

Very laggy

The app is good and I love the concept/what it has to offer but it’s very slow and kicks me out every five minutes, randomly freezes, closes out the app. Stuff like that, it gets annoying to be very honest, makes me want to delete the app lol.

Great app but it’s slow

I love this app and I think the concept is amazing. However the software is laggy and it make the app harder to use.
