### 1/5 — Impossible à consulter sans abonnement

*2026-08-13*

Je ne souhaite pas m’abonner donc cette application est inutile

**Developer response:** Vous pouvez utiliser la fonction de scan de code barre gratuitement autant que voulez. C'est la fonctionnalité principale de l'application.

### 1/5 — Appli payante

*2026-07-08*

Appli ou on pouvait poser une question sur un produit de temps en temps , maintenant c’est payant dès la 1re question. Tout deviens business, c’est malheureux des rabbins qui prétendent rendre service à la communauté alors qu’en réalité ce n’est qu’une astuce pour vous vendre 1€ la question ou un abonnement ! Ils feraient mieux de démissionner de leurs communautés respectives , cela serais plus honnête pour tous!

**Developer response:** Débloquer la fonctionnalité de poser des questions coûte 1 €. Ce tarif n’est pas un abonnement, mais un moyen efficace de réduire les questions inutiles et d’améliorer la qualité des échanges. Si ce tarif vous semble élevé pour le service rendu, je pense que vous sous-estimez le travail considérable qui est accompli quotidiennement pour maintenir cette application.

### 1/5 — Search tool without subscription

*2026-07-01*

It’s really annoying that I can’t use the search tool without having paid for subscription

**Developer response:** You can find any product with it's barcode for free

### 5/5 — Réactivité optimale

*2026-05-27*

Merci Rav Afanassev

### 5/5 — Demande de certification

*2026-05-24*

Simple clair et précis

**Developer response:** Merci 🙏

### 4/5 — Abonnement

*2026-05-18*

Dommage qu’il faille payer un abonnement pour accéder et savoir si les produits sont Cacher …

**Developer response:** Bonjour,
Il n’est pas nécessaire de payer un abonnement pour savoir si un produit est casher, il suffit de scanner le code-barres pour le savoir. Seulement certaines fonctions sont payantes.

### 1/5 — Liked the premise, not for me

*2026-04-05*

Seems European based only. Only 2 Rabbis on it (France & Germany) Barcode scanning is free but literally everything else is not (including the search function????)

### 5/5 — Recherche super

*2026-02-23*

C’est devenu super pratique de vérifier si un produit est cacher juste en scannant le code barre! Merci pour ce travail pas évident du tout !!!

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup ☺️

### 1/5 — Don’t work: BUG!!

*2026-01-05*

Bonjour. L’application ne fonctionne pas correctement. Lorsque je tente de scanner un produit la caméra s’ouvre de face comme pour une Sefie. Et impossible de trouver un bouton pour tourner la caméra de l’autre sens.  Merci de faire une mise à jour vite s’il vous plaît car je paye mon abonnement pour rien. Je suis sur iPhone 16 iOS 18.6.2

Hallo. Die App funktioniert nicht richtig. Wenn ich versuche, ein Produkt zu scannen, öffnet sich die Kamera nach vorne gerichtet, wie bei einem Selfie. Ich finde keine Möglichkeit, die Kamera in die andere Richtung zu drehen. Bitte veröffentlichen Sie schnellstmöglich ein Update, da ich für ein Abo bezahle, das mir nichts bringt. Ich verwende ein iPhone 16 mit iOS 18.6.2.

**Developer response:** Bonjour,
Je suis désolé que vous ayez ce bug.
C'est la première fois que j'entends parler de ce bug.
Je vais essayer de régler ce problème.
Vous pouvez me contacter à contact@kosherscan.app 
Cordialement,
Ephraim
