### 4/5 — More

*2026-05-18, version 1.3.5*

Great information within each product... but need many more product brands to have available.
So far I am not seeing store brands.

### 3/5 — Didn’t work

*2026-05-16, version 1.3.5*

Scanned 6 items and none were found. Had difficulty getting it to read barcodes.  Not impressed at all

### 4/5 — New Costomer

*2026-05-08, version 1.3.3*

Pending

### 2/5 — Fee

*2026-05-03, version 1.3.3*

I declined the renewal and it took the money, no problem. But then it canceled my subscription 2 days after. I paid for a week and never got the week. Disappointed

### 3/5 — Review

*2026-05-02, version 1.3.3*

I HATE QUESTIONARIES. Should be an option to SKIP. I don’t need your app to be “personalized” ..

### 1/5 — Must Pay

*2026-04-29, version 1.3.2*

You’ll get asked a series of questions then have a choice to pay a little or pay a lot.  Why would anyone purchase this when you don’t let us see if the info is actually helpful or better yet, true?

### 1/5 — Deception??

*2026-04-29, version 1.3.2*

I’m not ALL the way through the inquisition at the start but I feel very strongly that after wasting my time they are going to ask me for money. I will follow the creators and leave bad reviews forever if I’m correct. If I am wrong I will apologize and recant.

### 1/5 — Scam. Not free

*2026-04-28*

There’s a survey when you first open the app. At the end of the survey, they want you to rate the app and then the next page (after presumably you’re excited for the personalized free app and have rated it 5 stars) it says you have to choose between two paid options. Absolutely nothing is free.

### 1/5 — Incorrect info, waste of time and money if you don’t cancel the free trial

*2026-04-28, version 1.3.2*

False advertising, I just watched a video that named the top five worst water brands, Costco being one of them. I don’t drink Costco water but I wanted to see if my water brand was on there, I download and what do I see at the top, A score, “beat water brand”? Costco water. This thing is inaccurate and they also had a score in B and C. It’s a good SCAMMER, not scanner, haha

### 1/5 — Unusable without paying

*2026-04-28, version 1.3.2*

No option to use this app without paying a weekly or annual fee. After answering numerous require required questions when the app opens you are led to a paywall and cannot advance to the app without agreeing to pay a weekly or annual fee. It does say that there is a free trial, but you first have to agree to pay. Deleted it. I don’t need to complicate my life for a simple curiosity app.

### 1/5 — NO free version of this app

*2026-04-28, version 1.3.2*

The app asks a bunch of questions before letting you see if you like the format and does not give you any access unless you do the “three day free trial” to then commit to a year for $39.99- which won’t work for me because I will likely forget to cancel the subscription. Deleted the app.

### 1/5 — Must Pay or Unusable

*2026-04-28, version 1.3.2*

It would make sense to advertise the cost up front!!! What a waste of time!🤬

### 1/5 — Forced to buy their subscription

*2026-04-12, version 1.2.6*

Every time I try to open the app, they show an ad their subscription, Nutron Pro. I try to close it, but there is no close button at all. Just check food yourself instead of being forced to pay monthly for an app.

### 1/5 — False advertising

*2026-04-11, version 1.2.6*

Seems like a really helpful app except one thing it will give you a survey and at the end you HAVE to pay there is no option not to and it said it was free

### 1/5 — Money hungry parasites

*2026-04-10*

Just like every other parasite this dude got ahold of some valuable information and now everybody has to pay him for it….lames

### 1/5 — Pay to use

*2026-07-30, version 1.4.5*

Sorry app not worth paying to use shows your not about the people your about the money by putting up a full pay wall to use not worth it

### 1/5 — SCAM! Not free!

*2026-06-15, version 1.4.0*

This app is not free at all. It’s subscription only, there’s no free version of it.

### 1/5 — Sub only

*2026-06-15, version 1.4.0*

Cant use without sub

### 1/5 — No data base

*2026-05-23, version 1.3.6*

Every time I scan a barcode, it’s not the thing that I’m scanning

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2026-05-20, version 1.3.6*

They told me I had a seven day free trial
Charged me 40 bucks three days later
Now I’m fighting the charges with Apple on them
They have no way to get a hold of them
Do not get this app it is terrible
There are so many good apps out there
This is not one of them
You cannot change your settings when you have a dietary change
And there is no support at all

### 1/5 — Inconsistent ratings

*2026-05-20, version 1.3.5*

Some products rated at 75 no heavy metals but not vegan. Other products rated 100, vegan but high heavy metals. 

The rating doesn’t seem “overall” it just seems like a few key metrics for the biggest score jumps.

### 1/5 — How accurate?

*2026-05-18, version 1.3.5*

I just did my first scan of 2% Grassfed Milk and it has the product classified green (meaning complies with) for vegan diet. Am I missing something? Also noticed a ton of data on products is n/a. Serious concerns about validity of their categories, especially for nearly $40.

### 1/5 — **ONLY REVIEW YOU  NEED**

*2026-05-16, version 1.3.5*

Do not waste your time or $$$. Just Trust me & thank me later.

### 1/5 — It’s not free

*2026-05-08, version 1.3.4*

Free to input plenty of information. Once they get all your details the sell begins smdh. Get yuca

### 1/5 — Greasy UX

*2026-04-30, version 1.3.3*

They front load a bunch of questions, ask for a review before you even use the app, then tell you it requires a subscription to even use.

It doesn’t require a subscription and it customizes your specific needs.

I really like the survey that you  can take at the beginning
