### 1/5 — Crashing on scan

*2025-12-08, version 7.0*

I’ve just updated this today and now it crashes when I try to scan a product.

### 1/5 — The most amazing IDEA for an app

*2021-04-02, version 6.1.1*

But it just doesn’t work...

When I scan products it say it can’t be found

If u fix this ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 1/5 — WORKED ABOUT A YEAR OR TWO AGO

*2021-02-18, version 6.1.1*

Scan option doesn’t work at all. Needs updated maybe server issue? Can’t find anything you scan. Even if they already have it saved it says can’t be found. It’s sad because this was really a great app. No one else had one like this except halal scanner for Muslims.... please fix! Shalom!

### 1/5 — Great idea, terrible execution

*2019-09-15, version 6.1.1*

Simple will not work on an iPhone 8 with latest updates. Usually says no info if anything at all. This is worse most useless app ever. Point it at  a product with the OU next to the bar code and the app can’t find anything on the product. Completely and totally useless

### 4/5 — Can’t download app I can only open the app

*2018-10-22, version 6.1.0*

I have ISO 12.1 for apple. I use to have the older version kosher. The newer version is it kosher won’t let me download the app. It only lets me open it from the App Store. Are compatible with new version and if so how do I download the apps. Thank you

### 5/5 — Great

*2017-12-28, version 6.0.0*

Nice app really useful

### 4/5 — Sooo useful

*2017-08-09, version 5.4.0*

For someone who usually just takes stuff if i think it's kosher, this app is extremely useful! U can even scan bar codes on any food to find it quickly! I also just realised u can also find kosher places near u! But the only problem is that drinks from like costa and Starbucks don't come up

### 1/5 — Very unreliable

*2017-04-27, version 5.1.1*

Common items in my pantry are missing.  Other common items that are definitely kosher like cheerios or via coffee are listed as not kosher.   Although the concept is good this app doesn't yet pass the test of actually being useful.

### 3/5 — Good idea, needs better feautures

*2017-04-26, version 5.1.1*

I feel the all can benefit from more granular search options. It would be better to leave all categories ticked and search filter to select a country/region. That way, if there is a product from a country I am looking for, I can just filter to that country instead of turning on the list. 

Also a view option, I would like to have ability to change to list view, small icons etc - will make it easier to find items in a long list. 

A link to the product source would be helpful too, (e.g UOS of South Africa has notes about certain products on their website that don't show in the app) so not just a link to their website, but to the actual search term on the website.....

### 5/5 — Works great

*2017-03-31, version 5.1.1*

Latest app update works great and faster!
