### 5/5 — WOW

*2023-02-21, version 3.0.0*

This is really easy to use. I like that it tells me all of the allergens, even the sneaky ones (i have allergies so this helps a lot)! Nowadays, some ingredients have weird or long names and I have no idea what most of them are, but this app tells you all about every ingredient- no more mysteries. Lastly, it gives sources for Everything, so you can check things out for yourself if you’re feeling iffy. 10/10 cool app

### 5/5 — Very Informational and easy to use

*2022-07-11, version 1.0.1*

This app gives you all the information you need about the ingredients in your food. It shows references so you know where the information is coming from and the research is very thorough. It’s also really easy to use and has a good layout. I highly recommend this one over the other ingredient scan apps, the other ones lack information and are more difficult to use.

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2021-08-12, version 1.0*

Excellent app and very thorough with explanations of the ingredients that are scanned. I know exactly of the health benefits or harmful foods that are in food. With that I can make a good healthy choice on what I consume. Thank you for this information that was so very thoughtful to put together for everyone to have this knowledge and easily attainable.
