### 3/5 — Review

*2026-07-20, version 2.11*

The app is ok it’s not bad

### 2/5 — Bioengineered ingredients

*2026-07-03, version 2.11*

I only wanted to check this out to see if bioengineered ingredients were easily identified in products. Its not

### 2/5 — Database is hardly adequate

*2026-04-19, version 2.10*

Half of the things I scanned were NOT in their database!

### 4/5 — Scan

*2026-04-01, version 2.10*

Very good

### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD

*2026-01-04, version 2.9*

Once you download the app for the trial you’re instantly out $33.03. They’ll claim you had 24 hours to cancel it. Right! Within seconds I was charged $33.03 right as I was going to my subscriptions to cancel trial. I was instantly charged and messaged them just to be told here’s a link how to cancel subscription. I just want my refund, it’s not worth the trial it’s a SCAM! Plus the items I scanned aren’t found on the app it’s all AI info which all you need to do is Google or use YUKA they do give you trial and don’t instantly charge for it. Been using YUKA for 6 years now. Don’t waste your time and hard earned money dealing with this scammer!

### 1/5 — Not good for supplements

*2025-12-27, version 2.9*

I downloaded this app specifically to scan supplements, as advertised. Unfortunately, it completely fails at that core function. 

I tested multiple well-known supplement brands, and most were not recognized at all. Even basic, mainstream products were missing from the database, making the app essentially unusable.

Until the supplement database is dramatically expanded, this app does not deliver on its promise and isn’t worth downloading.

### 1/5 — It’s supposed to have a free version

*2025-12-12, version 2.8*

They literally lied to us, if I could give it zero stars I would

### 1/5 — Hungry money app

*2025-12-11, version 2.8*

Another app hungry for you to pay monthly subscription. Where does this end? What happened to just buy an app and be able to use it?

### 2/5 — Not supplements

*2025-10-17, version 2.6*

Out of all my supplements that I scanned only one came up the rest asked for a description and then said they have no record of it

### 1/5 — Desapointed

*2025-10-10, version 2.6*

Not working, unuseful, lost money

### 2/5 — Not sure…

*2025-10-01, version 2.6*

Another app scores things very differently. This has also read the barcode as the incorrect product!

### 1/5 — Can’t read

*2025-09-11, version 2.4*

I have started with this ap today I tried 6 items and it could only identify 1. If I could rate a zero I would, complete waste of money!  Don’t use it is a Fraud!

### 1/5 — Not very professional

*2025-08-31, version 2.3*

Heck, it doesn’t recognize 90% of everything you scan.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-08-30, version 2.3*

I scanned 10 of my vitamins (all of which are well known) and only one of them was in the database!

### 1/5 — So far no luck with any products I tried to scan and get a rating. I am going to cancel

*2025-08-11, version 2.2*

Not thrilled with this app
Need to cancel

### 1/5 — Inaccurate Product Recognition and Misleading Nutrition Information

*2026-06-29, version 2.11*

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.

### 1/5 — Does not work as advertised.

*2026-04-07, version 2.10*

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.

### 1/5 — Not in database

*2026-04-04, version 2.10*

Everything that I have scanned is not in the database. Waste of money.

### 1/5 — Misleading App

*2026-03-29, version 2.10*

You can download the app, but then you go immediately to a subscription screen.. such BS! Just be up front about it being a subscription app.

### 1/5 — WHY IS THERE NO EXIT TO PAYWALL

*2026-03-21, version 2.10*

WHY CANT I USE IT FREE BRO

### 1/5 — False advertising

*2026-03-06, version 2.9*

When I saw that this app could break down supplement details and tried it just for that need. I couldn't get any score on any of my supplements. They don't have details on the most basic supplements. Don't waste your time on this app.

### 1/5 — Very poor

*2026-02-26, version 2.9*

Has no information on the majority of my foods scanned. I clicked on 3 day trial and it took a yearly subscription not happy and in the process of claiming it back

### 1/5 — Nothing I scanned was in their database

*2026-02-12, version 2.9*

Kind of a waste of time. I tried the three day free trial, but none of the supplements I tried to scan were in the database. Also, for the food that worked, it basically said the same information that was on the nutrition label. I’m canceling the trial before I get charged.

### 1/5 — Can’t even use the app without subscription

*2026-02-07, version 2.9*

The worst app ever .

### 1/5 — Cancel my ‘sub’

*2026-01-19, version 2.9*

I analyzed 10 items from my refrigerator; more that half came
Back ‘no info found’.
