Seems to be only a database you have to search (if it worked) and not something that will scan a barcode. Useless, in any case. ### 1/5 — Not worth the megabytes *2025-02-07, version 12.4* Sorry but, an ad sponsored yellow pages is **not** my idea of a directory of canafian suppliers. no way to lookup sku products. ### 1/5 — Made in Canada Directory *2025-02-04, version 12.3* Totally useless. Chat GPT has more useful info on products made in canada without running a gauntlet of ads and diversions. Search engine takes you in circles. ### 1/5 — ERROR MESSAGE *2025-02-02, version 12.3* App will not opening so I am deleting it ### 1/5 — APP not working *2025-02-02, version 12.3* APP is not working at all. No products are listed in any categories ### 1/5 — Made in Canada *2024-03-14, version 12.3* Worst app. Want to see products made here and it does zero. ### 1/5 — Sad *2021-02-27, version 12.2* Most of these items i have never seen in our local stores, exception maybe in specialty more expensive stores, sad but true ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-02-17, version 12.2* It would be great if it worked but it doesn’t so a rating of 1 is being generous. ### 1/5 — Not working 😕 *2018-12-18, version 10.5* Not working 12/18/2018 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good Concept *2025-02-12, version 12.5* I like the idea of the app, the layout though could use some updates looks-wise and has some small bugs (like after clicking a certain category, it pops up with the wrong heading, so you’re unsure if you picked the right category or not). Overall, love the idea of helping people learn which brands are local and Canadian owned + operated :) Love the work the creators have done. ### 5/5 — New and improved *2025-02-05, version 12.4* Improvements make the search super easy to navigate. A great one place resource! ### 5/5 — Finally *2020-02-20, version 12.0* Awesome App! Finally a “go to” place for shopping Made In Canada! ### 5/5 — Fantastic and much needed app! *2020-01-08, version 12.0* I love this app! Finally shopping Canadian made easier and the new version is wonderful and easy to use. Well done and thanks Shannon!! ### 5/5 — Fabulous Resource *2020-01-04, version 11.0* I have been following the evolution of this app and find this version to be the crime de la crime. Well done! Such a valuable resource for all proud Canadians!! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2020-01-04* This App is a great resource, so easy to use and that I’ve been using for awhile now; whenever I’m going to purchase anything.... shop locally, shop CANADA! ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-12-08, version 10.5* Very clever, incredibly timely. So informative you will be surprised at how many canadian made products you will find. Also great access being the first app of its kind. ### 3/5 — Gold but not what I wanted *2025-02-26, version 12.5* App lists many Canadian brands, but it is difficult to search specific products. You have to pick a location every time you log in. I want to be able to search products but this is not really what I was looking for. ### 3/5 — Search categories *2025-02-15, version 12.5* First one I’ve seen where I can search something like dog foods, hair care, etc. ### 2/5 — This app needed more than ever but seems to be abandoned . *2020-05-31, version 12.0* This app is needed more then ever but seems to be abandoned.
