Just another “completely free” app that cost money.

I understand that data cost money and the need to offer these app for a fee. The point is stop making the statement “ the best thing is that is completely free” be honest in you advertising and you may be surprised at the response.

Score is my best indicator and deterrent not to consume

Very disappointing

I had high hopes for this app but sadly for me it’s a waste of money. You cannot try without signing up to pay -the free trial states they’ll send a reminder to cancel - none received. I tried to cancel on the day of the reminder date but was unable to- you must cancel before that date. In supermarket some items go not scan! Some items have duplicate entries with different scores?! The app does not log food eaten and compare with the health logs so you can see what foods affect your health. What affects the score is basic and lacks detail. Very disappointing and a waste of money for me.

We're sorry the trial reminder, cancellation experience and inconsistent product entries let you down. Please email support@ivyfoodapp.com so we can help with the subscription issue and look into the missing scans and conflicting scores. We also appreciate your suggestions for clearer score explanations and linking a food diary with health logs.

Review

Very nice app, its very helpful, it could use better features to help us believe more how a certain product could potentially cause risks. For example id like to know how a certain bread can give me risks for cancer. So basically more sources and info. Although, overall, nice app.

Thank you for this thoughtful feedback. Clear sources and explanations, including the limits of the evidence behind a rating, matter. We appreciate your suggestion to make that context easier to understand. If you email the bread example to support@ivyfoodapp.com, we can look into the information shown for that product.

NOT FREE … and disappointing !!

Disappointed to learn AFTER install that this is not free and asking for payment/subscription commitment!!!
How cheeky and disappointing!
Can not recommend this to anyone

Health change

I always thought we ate pretty healthily but I rarely check labels. Things are packaged and sold in a way that makes them seem healthy but they are not. This has opened my eyes and even after 1 day of using it we will systematically get rid of the ultra processed junk in our house.

The app asks you to subscribe for a year before even you try it or not even 1 day trail

We're sorry you couldn't find a way to try Ivy before committing. Trial availability and the annual subscription terms should be clear on the offer you see. Please contact support@ivyfoodapp.com with what was shown so we can help clarify the options available to you.

Predatory

I was asked to leave a review before even gaining access to the app. The software is also unusable without committing to a short trial, hoping we forget to cancel. Fear based manipulation tactics wirh dubious science as well. I'd advise anyone to avoid almost any food with a bar code

We're sorry the onboarding, trial and rating prompt left such a poor impression. You should have time to try Ivy before being asked for a review, and the subscription terms should be clear. Your point about the tone and evidence behind the food information matters too. Please send any specific examples to support@ivyfoodapp.com so we can look into them.

Cash grabbing opportunism

The splash screens want to convince you that it works, if you want to try you get a TWO day trial. When you go to delete they offer you 50% off for life… but 50% of $39.99 is $20 and not $24.99. That tells you where their integrity is. Will you trust them to tell you what’s harmful in the food you’re buying? No thanks.

Thank you for pointing out the specific prices. We understand why a discount that doesn't add up would undermine your trust. Please email a screenshot of the offer to support@ivyfoodapp.com so we can investigate the displayed price and wording. We're sorry the trial and offer experience left you disappointed.

Not free

Free app with a paid subscription so not free (even if you have a trial for a few days). Asking for a rating before even use the app. Be more transparent. Alternatives that are actually free do exist
