not impressed so far
just got the app, out of the first 5 scans from items in my kitchen cupboard, it only recognised 3 items and of the 3 could only confirm that 1 of them was vegan and for the other items it wanted me to tell the app whether the item was vegan or not?! I bought an app for the definite answers not to help build the developers database for the items they haven’t gotten round to adding on the app. all items found in tesco so all readily available!

Frustrating
This app makes you watch adverts in the middle of shopping, seems to know when your rushing.
Says things aren’t vegan when they are and have ingredients in that are not on the packet.
Can not find 70% of products.
It’s useless, definitely don’t pay for it .

As soon as I paid the app stopped working!
Got the free version and was quite impressed. However after watching 30 seconds of adverts after each scan I thought what the hell and upgraded to the premium version - only £1.29 monthly. As soon as I tried it again the app didn’t work!!! I can see products I’d already scanned and also the recipes, but get no response when I push the button to scan something. Very poor - I feel as if I’ve been robbed…

More miss than hit
Unfortunately for UK users this app is more miss than hit. Using this app to check stuff in UK Supermarkets showed the app to have very few items found and that’s not great for subscribers. (That’s not the apps fault btw)
The problem for people following a Vegan lifestyle is that a lot of product labels are not showing items as suitable for Vegans when they may be.
Product labels need to list ALL allergens and if marked as suitable for Vegetarians and there’s no sneaky honey in the ingredients list then it may be considered ‘accidentally vegan’ or ‘Vegan by recipe’.
So when an app like this shows up you think great; except it’s not that great.
Hopefully one of two things will improve in time…
Either labels will get better or this app will get better.
Unfortunately until that time you will have to keep checking the labels, because even though the word Vegan is about 90 years old; animals are still suffering needlessly for the pleasure of humans.
Ironically a lot of ‘non vegans’ (normal people??) claim to be animal lovers but are happy for animals to be killed for them to eat.
I think that’s strange.
Kudos to the app developers for taking this on because it’s not an easy task.

Dissapointed
Whatever I scan it just has a loading icon infinitely. Doesn’t work at all.
Rubbish
App is rubbish. The products are either not found or it don’t know enough about the products. Would not select any stars if I could.
Inaccurate
Seems to work by picking up on ingredients that aren’t vegan- but misses some that are not. Eg. I scanned a cereal containing vitamin d, which can be animal-derived. The supermarket does not list it as vegan-friendly, however this app says it is. I can’t trust this.
Useful app
Useful app, could be better, more recipes, it says when stuff is not vegan when it is (which isn’t helpful)
More updated recipes would be better and also a page full of vegan products already would be helpful. Maybe also a community page where people can talk.

Great app
Enjoy using the app, but could do with adding some more products to it.
SORT YOUR APP
Your app is claiming many vegan products are not vegan which in fact those products don’t contain any animal products at all. There is a lack of knowledge in your team what is an animal product and what isn’t. Sort this out.
Avoid like plague, can’t find items, unusable unless subscription
Download is “free” but after 4 scans( 2 of which meant ensuring 15 sec ads) it then times out for THIRTY mins before you can use again unless to pay monthly subscription. Of the 4 products I scanned it couldn’t even find two. No time for underhand cos. Just be upfront and ask a download fee or say it’s subscription. Plus get more items on first, 50% fail to find despite being std items

Ok if your happy to risk the mistakes
I download yesterday and already found products that are not vegan.
Someone already mentioned about foster Uk not being vegan and says so on their website
and yet this app would tell you otherwise and let you drink animal products
What’s the point of the app if I then have to double check to see if the app is correct

Solid App
A good app, simple enough to use and cheap.
I didn’t rank at 5 stars as it requires a function to challenge as some items flag as vegan when they aren’t. For example, Foster’s lager states on their website they are not vegetarian or vegan friendly (The company uses Isinglass), but this app states the lager is vegan friendly. With the sheer volume of products, some could slip through, which is why I believe a challenge/flag option should be able by users

As good as it says on the tin
The app is pretty good although some items it isn’t sure about but you can select at the bottom to tell them whether or not it is vegan if you’ve used google or the product says it on it !
a great app for first time vegans
an amazing app!!
sometimes I can’t be bothered to search through all the ingredients and this app just does that for me! it’s super easy to use!! 5 stars!

Pretty good
Downloaded today and I’m pretty happy with it. I have a few comments though:
-The free version does have a lot of ads and does restrict the number of items you can scan (though the monthly subscription price - £1.29 - is a lot less than I’ve seen on other similar apps)
-The range of items on the app are pretty good. I can’t yet comment on how quickly food that I scan and isn’t on the system is added
-There was one or two products that when I scanned them, they said vegan when they definitely were not
-When you are on the ‘it’s vegan/not vegan screen’ once you’ve scanned an item, it doesn’t let you scroll down to ‘scan another product’ because the report function is in the way
-An option/menu for reporting bugs or submitting app suggestions would be nice
-The app did crash a couple of times - though this could have been my phone playing up instead of the app

Very good
This is very useful, especially for those ‘accidentally’ vegan products. It would be good if when reporting if something is/is not vegan you could put a reason why.
Brilliant
Awesome app, found loads of products I’ve avoided because they are suitable for vegetarians but using this app lets you know they are also vegan but doesn’t state on the label
Bad
WAY TOO MANY ads, you can only scan a couple of things before you have to wait half an hour to scan again.
I thought it would be a good app and it would be if it didn’t spam ads before,during and after every scan.

The best app ever
This is my first time writing a review
I like this app so much and I recommend it for all people #go_vegan نباتي 🌱
