Best app ever ### 1/5 — Let me try it before I buy it. *2017-01-05, version 4.7* Why have an app that is free to download. But immediately needs a login to work. What a waste. Give me 10 min to try it out before you ask me to buy a lifetime membership!!! ### 1/5 — How can we rate *2016-10-26, version 4.7* Very difficult to rate without buying as you can't see any thing!! ### 1/5 — Will not let me create account *2016-07-30, version 4.7* I have been trying to create an account for myself, and every time I hit not a member it takes me to a page in the App Store. That page is trying to get me to buy another app. ### 1/5 — Won't let you log in!!! Does not work!!! *2016-06-14, version 4.7* Won't let you log in using any of the options email address, member number, or username. Still won't work even if you reset your password. The app doesn't work at all. Wish it did, but it doesn't; don't waste your time. ### 5/5 — It is free *2016-06-12, version 4.7* Great app. If you are a lifetime member the app is free. If you aren't you have to pay. ### 1/5 — Why post free? *2016-06-09, version 4.7* You can download it for free, but it won't let you use it unless you pay $3.99 ### 1/5 — Ms *2016-06-03, version 4.7* I downloaded this app and when attempted to use it was redirected to pay $3.99. Never used it. False advertisement ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No Way to Cancel *2026-08-08* The sign in process is easy, but it leaves out the part where they charge you and give you a choice. I’m trying to cancel right away, but this subscription is not showing up in my apple subscriptions, so there’s no way to do it. I hate this as it’s not a good business model. I’m still not sure how to cancel. **Developer response:** Hello Solid Apps, We’re sorry for the confusion. To manage or cancel your subscription, open the app and follow these steps: Profile icon (bottom-right corner) → Settings (gear icon) → Account → Subscription From there, select the option to manage your subscription through your Apple ID account settings. If the subscription does not appear, please verify that you are signed in with the same Apple ID used to make the purchase. If you still cannot find it, please contact our support team support@nxtranet.com , and we’ll be happy to help you locate and cancel it. ### 1/5 — Not good *2024-05-22* This app lies to you, or doesn’t update regularly. It also knows my exact weight & that is only possible through a recent text I sent. ### 1/5 — Will not scan *2023-07-14* I was excited to try the new app, but disappointed it would not work as designed. ### 1/5 — Please warn when you have to sign up first *2020-08-30* I don’t want to create a log in before I get the chance to try the app. Please warn people before they down load it. ### 1/5 — NOT a free app as advertised *2019-04-30* This app claims to be “Now Free”. However, they are not. Once you create an account and put in your details, they send you a message that it’s 1 week free and that you will be billed $3.99 monthly for their services. The description stated a subscription is “optional”, yet never gave the option to NOT have a subscription when creating an account. No thank you. ### 1/5 — Bummer for aussies *2018-09-12, version 4.14* Looks like an amazing app. It’s really hard to find an app that searches for msg. I’ll use it when I travel in the states but it’s unfortunately not much help for Australians. Perhaps in the future when there are more users adding foods to the system it will be handy. But I scanned everything I could in my house to see if there was anything on the database and not one single item came up. The process to add to the database is super easy and quick, but I don’t have time to add every single item I buy moving forward to the database. It defeats the purpose of me downloading the app, which was to save me the time and effort of reading and decrypting ingredient lists. Kudos on an amazing app. Sadly no use to me at this time. ### 1/5 — Gluten scanner *2018-08-26, version 4.14* Clearly does not work, scanned a lot of products containing gluten and comes up with nothing found! No use whatsoever ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2018-08-10, version 4.14* Tried downloading the app. The first time the initial screen would open but it just kept trying to load. I removed it and re-downloaded it and then it just opened to a black screen. Did that 2 more times with the same result. 😕 ### 1/5 — Poor *2017-04-24, version 4.14* This app is of zero help. If I download an app I want it to work, not for me to do the work for them. Atrocious app ### 1/5 — Gluten free App *2017-02-27, version 4.14* Your App is Crap. No barcodes linked in , nothing did. Con. Demand.....£ back . ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing app!! *2026-02-26* Love this app, easy to use.

It makes understanding ingredients so simple and approachable, and I love how easy it is to quickly check what’s actually in the foods I’m buying. The layout is clean, intuitive, and not overwhelming at all, which makes using it feel effortless. I really appreciate how it helps me make more informed, healthier choices without fear-mongering or complicated explanations. It’s clear a lot of thought and care went into creating this app. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to be more mindful about what they’re putting into their body! ### 5/5 — Great for finding healthy things *2025-12-30* My go to app in the grocery store! ### 5/5 — Life time changing app! *2025-12-30* Why wait for the New Year?! love that I can set up my profile to avoid MSG and other ingredients that contain it!

Easy to use, and can submit new items to be added to the database if they are not already.
