Inaccurate Product Recognition and Misleading Nutrition Information
Here’s a concise one-star review you could post:
⭐☆☆☆☆
I was really disappointed with this app. Almost none of the products I scanned were actually in its database. Instead of recognizing the specific product, it just guessed based on the type of food. For example, I scanned a banana and it simply gave generic nutrition facts for “banana.” If it sees the word “organic,” it seems to assume the entire product is organic.
The worst example was when I scanned Bob’s Red Mill Organic Grits. The app claimed it was high in saturated fat, contained cholesterol and sodium, and even criticized it for having no added sugars—which is completely inaccurate. Those claims don’t match the actual nutrition label at all.
If an app is going to evaluate food products, it needs a reliable product database and accurate nutrition analysis. Right now, I can’t trust its results.

Database is hardly adequate
Half of the things I scanned were NOT in their database!
Does not work as advertised.
Every. Single. Item I scanned it stated no item was found. These items were common bought items at Walmart. I had to type in what the item was every time.
