Costs too much

I just want a free app.

Really Great

I wish that it was less expensive and more accessible because it’s a really great tool to learn more about what I’m eating and putting in my body

No response

I sent several emails to the support email listed in the app and never received a response. Very frustrating to use

Didn’t give any information aside from product name

The first and only thing I scanned for my shellfish allergy and it told me it couldn’t give any information and therefore couldn’t check my restrictions. It scanned the item and even told me what it was with a picture of the item. But that’s it. I love sushi and saw a salmon sushi and from what I could see there wasn’t any shellfish but I wanted to make sure because you just never know. This app gave me no useful information. Thankfully a worker was nearby and was able to help but I paid the year subscription with excitement that this app could help me. Was very wrong. Don’t recommend.

Peanuts

I like how it tells me to stay away from things I’m allergic to and not get sick

Good but not perfect

This app is useful for products with long ingredient lists, but it’s definitely not perfect. I’ve had it say that two different foods contain gluten, because they contained fiber. When I read the actual ingredient labels, it was flagging the phrase “not a significant source of fiber”. One of the foods was even certified gluten free. For $20, I wish that some of the kinks would be worked out.

Amazing

Thank you so much for the love! We’re really happy to hear you’re enjoying Nosher. Our team works hard every day to make the app faster, smarter and more helpful for people with dietary needs, so your message truly means a lot. If you ever have questions, ideas or features you’d like us to add, we’re always here and would love to hear from you. Thank you for being part of Nosher!

Do not buy subscription as they don’t give refunds for broken apps:(

I bought the subscription thinking this would be a good app to use but it doesn’t work properly and keeps picking up the word flour from buckwheat flour that is gluten free and the word gluten from gluten free label and now I can’t get a refund because they didn’t except refunds for broken apps very disappointing with this app :(

Response from developer

The claim that Nosher does not give refunds is simply not accurate. Nosher does not process or control refunds at all. All refunds for every app on the App Store are handled entirely by Apple. Developers have no ability to approve, deny, or block refunds. If a refund was not granted, that decision was made by Apple based on their policies, not by us. We always guide users through the correct steps to request a refund, and many of our users receive refunds successfully when they explain their situation. We are also aware that no scanner is perfect, and we are always improving accuracy. If you experienced incorrect readings like buckwheat flour being flagged, we genuinely appreciate you reporting it so we can continue refining the app. We respect honest feedback, but we also want to make sure false claims do not mislead other users about how refunds actually work. If you or anyone needs help submitting a proper refund request through Apple, we are happy to provide step by step instructions.

Bad vibes

Can’t do anything unless you pay. Am fine with that. £27 per year, too steep for me no worries. Went to close was offered £15 for lifetime? Wanted to think about it and was told it was one time offer only with a 1 min count down. I don’t like being ripped off to start with and then I don’t respond well to brinkmanship. Shame, it’s probably a great app.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We’re truly sorry to hear that your first impression of Nosher was shaped by the promotional offer experience rather than by the app itself. The limited-time discount you saw is a genuine promotion that occasionally appears to give new users a chance to unlock the lifetime version at a lower cost. It’s not meant to pressure anyone — just an optional opportunity for those who are ready to upgrade right away. You can always continue using the free version to explore the core features before deciding if Premium is right for you. We’d also like to share something personal from our team. Nosher is built by a very small group of developers who work tirelessly to improve the scanner, expand the allergen database, and make the experience better with every update. When we receive a one-star rating, it can feel discouraging because it doesn’t always reflect the quality of the app or the dedication behind it. Higher ratings and constructive feedback help us stay motivated, reach more users, and keep investing in new improvements. We sincerely hope you’ll reconsider your rating after giving the app another try. Especially with the upcoming updates that make scanning faster, smarter, and more accurate. Your support truly makes a difference for our small team. Warm regards, Nosher Team

DO NOT DOWNLOAD

I recently was tested for food allergies and I have a lot. I needed an app to help me keep track so I downloaded this one. Not only did it charge me $30, the app only has a small handful of broad allergies to set and it’s not customizeable so it was useless to me. I requested a refund and was denied because they charged it as a subscription! So not only did they take $30 from me, but they planned to do it again if I hadn’t noticed! This is def a scam! Not worth $1 much less $30!

Response from developer

We want to be absolutely clear that Nosher is not a scam, and we do not have the ability to charge anyone without their full consent. All payments and subscriptions are handled directly by the App Store or Google Play, which always require confirmation before any charge is made. Nosher’s Premium version gives users access to advanced scanning features and a growing allergen database. We understand that every person’s allergies are unique, and we’re already working on an update that will allow users to add custom allergens. So you’ll be able to enter your specific sensitivities and have the app detect them automatically in ingredient lists. We also want to be transparent: we’re a small, hardworking team, not a large company. Every update and improvement you see in the app comes from countless hours of effort to make Nosher as accurate and helpful as possible. That’s why receiving a 1-star review is disheartening. It doesn’t reflect the purpose or ongoing progress of what we’re building. We’d love for you to give Nosher another try once the custom allergen feature is live. Your feedback helps us improve, and your support truly keeps our small team motivated to continue making Nosher better for everyone managing food allergies. Please consider to update your review. Warm regards, Nosher Team

Zu teuer

Für das gebotene zu teuer

Response from developer

Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Wir verstehen, dass der Preis ein wichtiger Faktor ist. Bitte beachten Sie, dass Nosher ständig weiterentwickelt wird – mit jedem Update verbessern wir die Kamera, die Erkennung und die Zutatenanalyse, um das beste Ergebnis für unsere Nutzer zu bieten. Wir sind ein kleines, engagiertes Team und arbeiten ohne Pause daran, Nosher noch hilfreicher und genauer zu machen. Eine 1-Stern-Bewertung kann für uns entmutigend sein, da sie nicht widerspiegelt, wie viel Arbeit und Leidenschaft in der App steckt. Höhere Bewertungen helfen uns, weiter zu wachsen und die App für alle zu verbessern. Wir hoffen, Sie geben Nosher noch eine Chance in einer der kommenden Versionen. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Das Nosher-Team

Too many screens too soon

Within a split second of downloading this I had to go through about 12 screens and then it asked me how I like it so far. Come on people, at least wait until I’ve scanned one thing.

Response from developer

We completely understand how frustrating it can feel to go through several screens right after downloading an app, especially before you’ve even had a chance to try it. Those first screens are designed to help new users understand how Nosher works. Since it’s not a simple barcode scanner, but a tool that reads and interprets ingredient labels to detect hidden allergens like gluten, dairy, and others. That short onboarding is meant to explain the fundamentals before your first scan so that you can get accurate results right away. We’re a small, passionate team working tirelessly to make Nosher better with every update, and a 1-star rating can feel disheartening, especially when it comes before someone has had the chance to actually experience the app’s features. Higher ratings and constructive feedback help us keep improving and reaching more people who need this tool. We’d love for you to give Nosher another try after the upcoming update. We think you’ll find it much smoother and more helpful. Warm regards, Nosher Team

Cannot trust it

I just bought this app since I was diagnosed with alpha gal syndrome. Plus I have gluten intolerance I decided to try it out and scan a bag of chips that are gluten free according to the package. This app told me it has gluten in it. If it is wrong on this, how can I trust it on other foods? I want my money back!!

Nah

Downloaded at this am.. scanned labels around my kitchen. Everyone was sending up gluten and other flags.. yet it was wrong every time. Deleted app. Would love to be refunded. Can’t find a way to communicate with developers but this review box.

Amazing

Great for diabetic people, my dr recommended I check it out, very satisfied

Awful experience

Don’t waste your money, this app only uses IA to find words in the label, reason why it warns you about ingredients that are not an actual problem, for example “Cocoa butter”, it’s dairy free but the app does not recognize this kind of things. I was expecting a lot more, I just tried it and I’m begging for a reimbursement.

Waste of time & money

The idea of this app is good but there are serious flaws. When you scan a product it searches for key words- sounds good right? Wrong. Numerous products are truly dairy free but if it uses the word milk at all to even say “free of milk” or “vs milk” it will mark it as “unclean” then you’re back to rereading the whole label anyways. It marked almond milk as “unclean”.

Not what I expected

There is no point in dealing with this issue as it is a waste of time and money. Its effectiveness is not very effective.

Overpriced and not very smart

Basically I ended up paying 20 bucks for a camera lens that uses AI to read labels you scan. But if that label says “gluten free” or “made in a facility without wheat” it will just see the word wheat or gluten and then tell you the product is unsafe. I’m sure there are free apps that can scan and read labels if you want that as a feature. But for this save your money and just read the label of whatever you are trying to eat. That’s 20 bucks I’ll never get back.

Absolute trash

Doesn’t work in the slightest. Feels like ai slop. No thought or care was actually put into this product. Warning about wine in my product because it has wine vinegar. Warnings on dietary fiber because it assumes it is from a gluten source. Just plain stupidity only ai and a fool can make.
