Tried it.
I wish it recognised more items.
NHS Food Scanner
Really good shows. Better options for bad food must try
Great idea but doesn’t scan
Downloaded this app after attending an NHS group for diabetes. I can search items but the scanner doesn’t work. I have tried switching phone off and on, deleting and reinstalling app but it just doesn’t scan. I’m using an iPhone 16 Pro
This app is a joke! Doesn’t have the most common food on it! Waste of time

Great idea but buggy
I’ve lost over 3st so far on the NHS Weight Loss app and active 10s app on my iPhone 16 so thought I’d download this. Managed to scan 1 product, checked out a swap then it froze and the phone froze and strobed! Could not exit app so I had to delete and reload the app again. Scanned a different item and had the same issue.

Great!!
I am very impressed with this app. My husband is pre diabetic and we are looking closely at our diet. Love the traffic light system. Makes it very easy to use. There are some kinks. I scanned eggs. They came up as ‘amber alert’ When I looked at healthy alternatives, the app came up with a prepackaged curry. But with more people using it, it will get better. Overall, I’m happy and impressed.

Suggested swaps
Most of the suggested swaps are not available in my supermarket. Also the swaps do not take into account the size of each item. If you swap 30mg for 50mg are you really benefitting?
Doesn’t work
Don’t waste your time, tried three different barcodes and nothing happened
Good scanning app
Scans food accurately, shows staggering data and cute animations. It even celebrates when you make a healthy choice! Will recommend.
Doesn’t work
Half of the products you scan does not recognise! Best app will be Yuka that it will scan 90% of products including beauty products.
Sweet Honey
I thought Honey was good, however it not that good for me. I was replacing sugar from my breakfast cereal. I will have to find another option

Scanning doesn’t work on iPhone 15 Pro
The app does not recognise any bar codes, because they are not in focus.
The similar app Yuka does not have this problem.
I suspect the issue is that the 15 Pro and some other phones have more than one camera lens. NHS Food Scanner is using the default camera lens, rather than specifying one that can focus close up.

Great App
So easy to use and very helpful it’s better than the slimming world scanner 😊
Superb
Excellent
Recommends junk
I scanned some free range eggs and it suggested to swap it with a Cook Pronto Fresh Tikka Curry Kit.
Infant apps not for adults
Unfortunately, the app is quite limited in its current form. It doesn’t offer detailed analysis of ingredients, which is essential for users who want to make informed health-conscious purchasing decisions.
Excellent app
Loved the app
Good
Very accurate and worth the effort
Tried it.
Scan button does not work on 15 pro max.
Excellent
Helps me make healthy choices
