this is the fine app but so much ads in apps like this app even i paid for it! Rid ads or else!

Skinless chicken breast probably vegan?

Items with ingredients such as β€œskinless chicken breast” are marked as probably vegan which makes it impossible for me to rely on or trust the filtering of this app. Although I’m no app developer, it seems an ingredient including chicken, something I certainly want to avoid as a vegan, shouldn’t be hard to mark definitely not vegan.

Not perfect, but useful

I use this app nearly every time I go to the grocery store.

Sometimes a snack will have those impossible-to-read ingredients and this helps me determine whether or not they’re vegan within a matter of seconds. It saves a lot of time; now I don’t have to google everything.

The database could be bigger, but it is easy to submit new barcodes to help the database grow.

Definitely would recommend!

😩

I just paid $4.99 for this app and it does nothing. My sadness right now is directly proportional to the excitement I felt when I first found it. Please fix so I can enjoy using, at this point, what is only fabulous idea. πŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌ

Good, But a Bit Flakey

Apparently, this app suffers from a bit of a shaking infrastructure. When it works, it’s invaluable and worth every penny. When it doesn’t, it’s as frustrating as it gets. The app developer appears uncommunicative, so don’t bother trying to contact them. Just wait, they’ll fix it when they do.
