Rid ads or else! ### 4/5 — Not perfect, but useful *2018-06-18, version 3.1.2* 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! ### 3/5 — Good, But a Bit Flakey *2017-12-28, version 3.1.2* 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. ### 2/5 — Please fix! *2017-12-26, version 3.1.2* This app was great when it worked. Now all of a sudden it stopped working. I try to scan something and then it doesn’t load. Waste of money! ### 4/5 — Great app! Need iOS11 update 2 allow user input *2017-09-28, version 3.1.2* Thnx for having iOS11 update. I really appreciate the work it must have taken to get this app going. Many vegans would appreciate an update. Hope to have ability for end users to add to your database again. Thnx! ### 4/5 — Updated for iOS 11!!!!! *2017-09-23, version 3.1.2* Thank you so much for updating your app to support iOS 11. Can’t tell you how many times this app has helped me to find out if a product is vegan One feature to recommend is a scan history of found products. ### 4/5 — Any plans on an update? *2017-09-20, version 2.0.0* This app isn't supported by iOS 11. Any plans on an update?? ### 2/5 — Not a good app *2017-03-15, version 2.0.0* I bought this thinking it might be more useful than the free version. Nope. It has very few actual products in its database and is inaccurate. Certified vegan products are in the red zone? I'll stick with reading labels. It's a good idea- but it needs more work. ### 4/5 — Neat little application. *2017-02-08, version 2.0.0* This app needs to be updated very soon - it's starting to slow down my phone (iPhone 6) because it's not compatible with the current iOS. Other than that, it's excellent. The database isn't very large yet, but the app makes it easy to add products for review when an unknown product comes up. It also allows us to choose if sugar is vegetarian or vegan, which is a nice feature. After using the free version for about a year, I decided to upgrade to support the app. There's not many similar ones out there, and this one is the most user friendly and simple without killing my phone's battery. ### 4/5 — Great but needs an update on its food *2016-08-10, version 2.0.0* Its a great concept and is super easy to use...but I'd say that 2/3 of the items I scan return an "unknown product" response. That's really frustrating. When it does recognize the product, it provides excellent information. This would be/will be a 5 star tool for vegans once it has more food products in the app. ### 2/5 — Need an update! *2015-12-24, version 2.0.0* Camera view is all stretched out. About half the items scan. Submitting new items times out and crashes. ### 1/5 — Great Idea, but poor results *2015-07-18, version 2.0.0* I love the idea, but in my experience it incorrectly identified many foods as vegan that contained animal products. I hope they are able to fix this. Currently it has no value for me. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Skinless chicken breast probably vegan? *2019-04-05, version 3.1.2* Items with ingredients such as “skinless 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. ### 1/5 — 😩 *2018-03-27, version 3.1.2* 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. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 ### 1/5 — Was great *2017-12-24, version 3.1.2* Suddenly stopped working. Both my wife and I rely on this app daily and it worked great most of the time. We were using the free version and it would just beep after scanning and nothing would happen. Manual entry doesn't do anything either. I paid $5 to get the full version hoping this would help, but to no avail. Then I went to email them from the app for assistance and you can't even click on the email link. What use is that? Please fix this. I really hope they see my review, since I can't email them and make this app great again. ### 1/5 — Resourceful *2017-12-08, version 3.1.2* Up until a few minutes ago, this application was flawless. Had pretty much every item you’d scan. Now after the most recent update, it crashes! Please fix and I’ll update to 5 stars. ### 1/5 — Not very happy! *2017-08-29, version 2.0.0* This App doesn't tell you until you pay $4.99 that is is not compatible unless I have iOS 11... which I don't!!! How do I get refunded? 😨 ### 1/5 — App closes every time I scan *2017-08-13, version 2.0.0* I bought the 4.99 version and it shuts down every time I attempt to scan a barcode. I'm using an iPhone 6. I'm very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Only works about half the time *2017-02-03, version 2.0.0* It knows the product but says all the ingredients are unknown if they are vegan. We are talking about things like potatoes. Not reliable at all. Other times it works fine. Would not recommend paying for it until it is fixed. ### 1/5 — It doesn't do anything *2016-08-13, version 2.0.0* Just tried this on 3 different products. Only one was in its database. The other two I tried to take pictures of and I got a connection failure. The one it did register was listed as "probably vegan" but all of the ingredients were plant based and it is a known vegan product. Wish I'd downloaded the free version. ### 1/5 — Very Deceptive App *2015-11-22, version 2.0.0* Almost every item I inquire about the answer says "It Is/Is Not Vegetarian" I didn't buy this app to know this. I bought it to know if this are VEGAN....hence the name of this app!!! What a rip off when it hardly ever answers this question!! ### 1/5 — Don't Buy!!! This app is garbage!!! *2015-10-15, version 2.0.0* App never works correctly especially the scanner. Biggest waste of money in the App Store for me this far. Doesn't recognize 99% of the things you try to scan!! Total garbage don't buy!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2017-09-23, version 3.1.2* I love this app. I use it every time I go to a store. Thank you for the update. Im vegan for health reasons and this is a lifesaver! Thank you thank you!! ### 5/5 — Love this *2017-05-11, version 2.0.0* As a fledgling vegan, this application has been invaluable when shopping at the grocery store! ### 5/5 — Definitely a great app for vegans and vegetarians *2017-03-10, version 2.0.0* I've bee looking for such an app for a long time. I've been vegetarian for a very long time and vegan as much as possible for a couple of years now. This apps is very helpful on a daily basis, or when trying to figure whether an obscure ingredient name is vegan. Huge thanks to the developers and people making the data necessary behind. Kudos!!! You guys absolutely rock! ### 5/5 — Easy to use and helpful *2016-04-30, version 2.0.0* So easy to use this app. I love it and highly recommend it. Just be careful holding phone in one hand. The scanner works great and it is very fast. ### 5/5 — Great!!! *2016-04-25, version 2.0.0* One of the best apps available especially for new vegans!!! Love it!!! ### 5/5 — Makes shopping a lot easier! *2016-04-17, version 2.0.0* Newly vegan. Tried this app out so far it works great! ### 5/5 — FIXED! *2016-04-03, version 2.0.0* App is amazing and a true lifesaver for vegans! ### 5/5 — Great! *2016-02-07, version 2.0.0* Keep up the good work. Purchased the full version just to help fund the effort. ### 5/5 — App Review *2015-03-22, version 2.0.0* This app definitely helps me whenever I go shopping for myself. ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-01-14, version 2.0.0* It really helps me out when I don't see the ingredient know what it is, or when the list of ingredients is to long. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
