Scan ganz gut, allerdings einige Fehler. Es fehlen viele Produkte mit Insekten, die als frei angezeigt werden. Aber jetzt ist die kostenlose Version nunmehr kostenpflichtig. 👎🏻

Sehr hilfreiche App!
Die App erkennt fast alle Produkte sehr zuverlässig und analysiert die Zutatenliste mit hoher Genauigkeit. Ich bin positiv überrascht, wie gut sie Insekten und Würmer im Produkt erkennt – selbst bei komplizierten oder kleingedruckten Angaben. Eine echte Hilfe für alle, die solche Inhaltsstoffe vermeiden möchten. Klare Empfehlung!

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank :)
