### 2/5 — Waste of time

*2026-08-04*

It’s free for a reason. Literally half the foods I scanned had no data. And I was scanning common foods like SunChips and Grits. How do you not know what grits are???

### 3/5 — Nice app, when offline database

*2025-10-04, version 4.20.1*

Nice app, however in many supermarkets there is not cellular network coverage so the becomes useless since the iPhone can not connect to internet. When will be available a version where you can download a compressed essential version of the database to make it work offline when there no signal?

### 4/5 — Anregung an die App Entwickler

*2025-09-18*

Ich finde das System dieser App gut. Ich würde mir aber wünschen, wenn es noch Erläuterungen zu den Zutaten gibt. Also das für eine Zutat ist, ihre Erklärung und was die Probleme dieser Zutat sein könnten. Als so wie im Stil von CodeCheck. Dann wäre die App für mich perfekt!

### 3/5 — Foods missing

*2025-08-31*

I liked that I could customise my preferences for healthy food. It’s also easy to use. However, several of the EU-based foods I scanned were not in the database or missing facts. It has potential.

### 5/5 — Keeps on getting better

*2025-06-06, version 4.20.1*

It can now extract nutrition facts from product photos!

### 5/5 — Excellent!!

*2025-05-29*

J'utilise cette application depuis plusieurs jours maintenant. Elle a toujours rapidement identifié les produits recherchés et a fourni les informations sur le produit à la vitesse de l'éclair.

### 5/5 — Excellente application.

*2025-04-19*

Une excellente application plus complète que Yuka (que j’utilise également). Les critères d’évaluation des produits sont plus nombreux et personnalisables. Cela permet donc à chacun d’évaluer les aliments selon ce qui est important pour lui. Je recommande vivement pour tous ceux qui sont soucieux de leur santé et de l’impact environnementale de leur consommation.

### 5/5 — ❤️😊💕

*2025-03-19*

I love how this App helps producers to compete for quality & packaging. 
It’s easy to choose or add new favourites. It’s fun & easy to participate. 
Thank you!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-03-11, version 4.18.1*

Great app really and great options to view and add to

### 4/5 — Very needed app!

*2025-03-02, version 4.18.1*

Well-developed app.
It would be even better if it gave more visibility to the level of food processing (NOVA score), which is currently almost hidden. Among the three indicators, I find this one the most important, but the app prioritizes the Nutri-Score and environmental impact instead. A more balanced presentation would improve the user experience.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-02-15*

Everything has worked well for me. I really appreciate that it is free and it’s add free. Thank you guys.

**Developer response:** Thank you 🤗 
Pierre, on behalf of the team and community

### 5/5 — Get this

*2025-02-11, version 4.18.1*

Saves a massive amount of time reading labels and I love how you can rate importance of different elements ie dietary preferences, allergies etc.  even gives an eco score.  Excellent app

### 5/5 — Super application

*2025-02-06*

À avoir toujours sur soi pour faire ses courses !!

### 1/5 — Can’t even get in

*2026-03-30*

I want to love this app, as the promise to never sell out to companies is amazing, however I can’t get past the country selection. The “next” button doesn’t even work.

### 1/5 — Fara sens

*2026-01-24, version 4.23*

Pacaleala de 1 Aprilie

### 1/5 — Ничего не находит!

*2025-12-09*

Написано, что в базе 3 миллиона товаров. Просканировал дома 5 штрих кодов и всегда один результат: «Вы нашли редкий товар в нашей базе его нет». Жаль, что не работает. Удаляю.

### 1/5 — quite dissapointing

*2025-11-11, version 4.20.1*

this could have been much much better

### 1/5 — useless

*2025-10-06, version 4.20.1*

“You have found a rear gem”. great, but food that has nutrients listed on the label DOES NOT need an app, you just read the label, no? But searching for manufacturers info obviously doesn’t work that well, you are asked to manually input everything.

### 1/5 — Couldn’t find any scanned product

*2025-09-07, version 4.20.1*

I’ve tried multiple barcodes from universal brands couldn’t find any! Piz buin, Unilever products from the supermarket or even L’Oréal products that there everywhere.

### 1/5 — Where is your firm from?

*2025-03-05, version 4.18.1*

Why is it so hard to see where your firm is located/ based?

### 1/5 — Dissapointed

*2025-01-22, version 4.18.1*

I tried to scan common product. But they are not identified .  What is the point of the application then? For 2 days I’ve been looking for an application as complete as possible.  The one I found  covers both , food and non- food products and ia veru intuitive. But …..doesn’t work in Romania😡

### 1/5 — Pepsi compared to 100% juice

*2024-12-08, version 4.17*

A can of Pepsi Max turned out to be a C and a box of 100% juice was an E....doesn't make any sense....maybe a good scanner but a poor algorithm for  nutrition.

### 1/5 — Good Idea, Bad Execution

*2024-11-23, version 4.17*

Open source data is an excellent idea. But forcing people to create an account to use it is bull and I simply refuse to do it. App is rated accordingly.

### 5/5 — Gute App

*2026-07-14*

Tolle Übersichten und Informationen

### 5/5 — Food Checker

*2026-04-03, version 4.23*

Amazing app, Can’t believe it is free, Use it every time I go shopping to check I’m not consuming any ultra processed foods, Couldn’t be more happy :)

### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2026-03-26, version 4.23*

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — FIABLE

*2026-02-07*

Bonjour,
Si je ne connais pas trop la composition d’un aliment, Je me base sur les données, que nous avons la possibilité de pouvoir lire, j’achète ou non. Merci

### 5/5 — Gaz

*2025-12-10, version 4.22*

Very helpful as I am celiac

### 5/5 — Know your food!

*2025-09-19, version 4.20.1*

Great app for knowing what’s really in your food. Use it a lot!

### 5/5 — La meilleure application de son genre

*2025-08-21*

Honnêtement la meilleure appli de ce genre. On peut tout régler selon ses préférences, ses régimes ou ses intolérances : ça détaille absolument tout ! (Nutrition, impact environnemental, additifs, niveau de transformation… rien n’est oublié.)

J’adore également la nouvelle interface, super moderne et agréable à utiliser, ça donne envie de s’en servir tous les jours.

C’est clair, pratique et hyper complet. Je recommande à 200 % !

Je m'en sers pour mon changement de régime alimentaire : plus végétal, moins d'impact environnemental. Sincèrement c'est la meilleure que j'ai trouvé.

Première fois que je laisse un avis sur l'Apple Store car je ne comprends pas pourquoi elle n'est pas plus connue comparé à d'autres, j'en parle a tout mon entourage !

### 5/5 — App...

*2025-08-02*

Félicitations, très bon site pratique; continuez votre bon travail 👍.

### 5/5 — Better eating and consumption - knowing the facts about the products i consume!

*2025-07-15, version 4.20.1*

This app helps to understand what i eat and guides me to better and healthier eating! It provides me with transparent unbiased data about the food products i consume and has an intuitive user interface

### 5/5 — Very good app

*2025-06-29*

This app is updated regularly, and is very useful to understand labels
