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.
Response from developer
Hey Neli:3, thanks for your feedback. We decomissioned our app back in Jan 2021 but we're back and just released a whole new GreenChoice Food Scanner app! We hope you'll get to try it out. It should be very fast and easy to use.
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.
Good Idea Bad App
I really like what I see on the site but the app keeps freezing. I can only really click on one thing until I get frozen on a page and can’t go back unless I restart the app.
great resource but has some tech issues to resolve
As a vegan, I love that Green Choice exists and use it often to inform my grocery buying. However, it seems like in a recent update it has developed a bug that makes it very difficult to use. All actions take about a minute to be executed; every time you select an option or search something, the screen appears to freeze and takes a very long time to fulfill the request. I usually don’t write reviews, but I wanted to let the developers know about the bug because I really am grateful to have Green Choice as a resource for intentional grocery shopping and know it will be even better once this issue is resolved. ♥️

Hey thank you so much for this feedback! We released a new version built from scratch without any of the issues you mentioned. Hopefully you can try it out and continue to use it to inform your grocery buying!
I love this, but it has tech issues
I love using this app, but it constantly goes to a blank screen when refreshing and ends up being useless.
Green choice is awesome
Lost 150 pounds using green choice! Would recommend to anyone trying to live healthy!!
My favorite app!!
I love this app it’s so informative! It definitely helped me eat better and helped changed my lifestyle for the better!! Thank you Green Choice :)

Alyssa, thanks for sharing your success story! We're so happy GreenChoice is helping you to eat healthy and live your values (:
Best Healthy eating app
Makes grocery shopping so much easier knowing what I want BEFORE I go to the store. Eating sustainably is important to me and GreenChoice always gives me the best options for my values!
Deleting after the last update in July
Unfortunately I used to love this app. I am vegan and I buy mostly fruits and vegetables from the store. I loved the points collecting feature and the ability to redeem my points for gift cards. I loved the idea of collecting points, while eating healthy, it pushed me to buy even more fresh produce and stay away from processed food. This option is now removed after the last update and I don’t see a point to continue using the app.

eh
they’re a good app, but i’m a vegetarian and i don’t get very much protein, also they still give me meet
Green choice has been great!
Foods I purchase/consume have always been important to me - where they come from, how they impact people, environment and personal health. It’s nice to have GC around when a new item peaks my interest :) I especially like learning about new products too and it’s a great app if you’re simply looking to be more conscious about the food you eat!!

Human. Mother. Environmentalist.
I love what I see so far in the GreenChoice app... excited to explore it more so I can make buying healthy, environmentally-conscious foods easy- and of course spread the good word to others! I believe most people yearn to help our planet, but may feel overwhelmed by the enormity of the problems we face. GreenChoice empowers everyday consumers to help the planet while helping themselves and their families without going “out of their way” to do so. Kudos to Galen and your team! 👏🏼
