### 5/5 — Me abrió los ojos

*2025-11-12, version 4.8*

La descargué para los productos alimentarios y descubrí salud descartando ingredientes que no imaginaba. Ahora también lo uso en cosméticos y es de mucha ayuda. Al principio no tenía publicidad pero bueno, se soporta porque vale mucho la pena.

### 5/5 — Me encanta la mejor

*2025-08-27, version 4.8*

Gracias a esta app puedo ver el INCI los ingredientes, me encanta, fácil y súper útil si quieres empezar una forma de vida sin tóxicos

### 1/5 — Can’t close the ads

*2025-08-16*

The app is great in other platforms. In iOS, however, I can’t close the Ads, making it unusable.

### 1/5 — beznadziejna apka

*2025-05-22, version 4.8*

nie polecam, zacina się. nie pokazuje więcej niż połowy składników i wyłącza się

### 5/5 — Muito bom

*2025-04-05*

Aplicativo simples, fácil e rápido de usar. Os resultados são muito bons e você consegue ter uma noção do pq os ingredientes são ruins.

### 1/5 — Não funcional

*2025-03-28*

Aplicativo horrível, a proposta é muito boa, mas sua funcionalidade é péssima, fica carregando infinito anúncios e não entrega nada ( utilizando o app em um iPhone 16 ainda ) ou seja, não é problema de hardware mas sim do software de vocês

### 3/5 — Últimamente no funciona bien

*2025-03-16, version 4.8*

Últimamente no va bien. Se queda pensando y no analiza

### 1/5 — No funciona bien

*2025-02-25, version 4.8*

Ni cogiendo las imágenes de galería ni tomándola insitu del mismo producto, se queda en analizando

### 3/5 — Не работает (айфон 14)

*2025-02-03, version 4.8*

На старом телефоне работало, но туго. На новом - вообще никак не работает

### 5/5 — Es la mejor app

*2025-02-01, version 4.8*

He usado muchas apps similares antes y desde mi punto de vista Ingred es la mejor. No juzga, no es subjetiva ni intenta influenciarte, solo informa.
