However, since the last update or two, every single scan comes with a minute long video of two, full-length ads. Used to be 15 second, skippable ads, which was annoying enough with every scan. This is unnecessarily difficult. I get that monetisation is likely needed, using the subscription, but the base app should still be free and working for all. In addition, the coin system does not work at all. I think I’ve submitted many new products, since I’ve scanned items that don’t have a listing. Not one coin earned from anything. That could have made up for the ads. Once again, the concept and app itself is phenomenal, and really beneficial. But minute long ads are making it borderline unusable. Literally have to go to the website instead as a shortcut to skip the ads for it to even be useable in a supermarket or corner shop. If this is fixed, and smoothed out, would probably rate 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Very Useful *2026-07-31, version 6.1.4* It helped me recognise halal and haram foods.

I have purchased it in may for a month but nothing worked, then June, july, Nothing worked I emailed 20 times to their customer service and last reply was “OK” what does this ok means?? Recently My wife paid for full year subscription to check if its working or not same thing happend not subscribed yet. I have emailed them more than 23 times but No one resolved my issue and ask the same question of provide user id or email. Now today is12 Aug 2026, Its beeen 4 months. What a pathetic customer service PLEASE AVOID PAYING ANYTHING TO THIS APPLICATION. JAZAK ALLAH KHAIER ### 1/5 — Shows ad when needed *2026-08-02, version 6.1.4* Whenever i need to scan something it shows ad for such a long time. Really not helpful. ### 1/5 — This app sucks got adding a new item *2026-07-16, version 6.1.4* This app called mustakshif is NOT the first halal checker app the first one is from December 2012 when i add a new item the spelling is correct the only problem is mustakshif spell what the camera says so they misspelt it but when you try to fix the spelling it will show a keyboard which you cannot get out but it’s rare to get out. Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Too slow *2026-07-06, version 6.1.3* The app is too slow to load, too slow to return the result. Too sensitive to WiFi. It also has lot of popups when it doesn’t find the product. ### 1/5 — Is it halal????????? *2026-04-21, version 6.1.1* is McDonald’s halal?? but the ice cream and sofa are halal??? But the meals halal???? ### 1/5 — Does not work on cellular data after recent update *2026-03-30, version 6.1.1* The app does not work on cellular data (5G) and only works on wifi, even though cellular data access is enabled for the app in settings. Every other app on my phone works perfectly fine on cellular, so the issue is clearly with this app. It worked without any problems before the recent update, and now it is basically useless when I am not connected to wifi. This is incredibly frustrating, fix immediately ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-02-25, version 6.1.0* Pathetic. I paid for full version and when I scan it doesn't give results. Initially, it was working fine. ### 1/5 — Send you SPAM *2026-02-17, version 6.1.0* This company puts you on a spam list from which you can’t unsubscribe ### 1/5 — Loading time 10 minutes *2026-01-26, version 6.0.9* Takes ages to load the application ### 1/5 — Frustrated *2026-01-24, version 6.0.9* Doesnt work ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best app *2026-09-01, version 6.1.4* One of the beat app which tells you about the halal status ### 5/5 — Thnx *2026-08-31, version 6.1.4* Great initiative ### 5/5 — Review *2026-08-27, version 6.1.4* Very nice all products are true and gives lots of information mashallah ### 5/5 — Best *2026-08-26, version 6.1.4* Amazing app. Highly recommended ### 5/5 — Mustaksif *2026-08-24, version 6.1.4* It’s too good app , it’s make my day and help me to find halal foods . ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-08-23, version 6.1.4* Very good ### 5/5 — Review *2026-08-17, version 6.1.4* Amazing ### 5/5 — Life Changing App *2026-08-05, version 6.1.4* I use this app each time I shop for new items.
