Mr Processed

This app is brilliant

Great app

This is a great little app if your trying to change to a healthy lifestyle helps identify ultra processed foods

Wonderful App

Super easy to scan, and the information each scan provides is great. Life changing app for your health. Thank you!

Great with some miss alignments

The app itself is great as far as I know there is no limit to how many scans there are, but sometimes even with the ingredients scanned it sometimes gets the wrong product not completely off like I could scan a chocolate bar if one brand but it misleads it to be another brand of chocolate, besides that it is great I recommend it as a second opinion after checking the ingredients yourself.

Will not scan

This would only scan about 1 out of many items I tried yesterday. Tried again today. It finally scanned ingredients in 1 item. It did not find the one item I tried to look up. Will be deleting this app as it is useless.

Great app!

I found this app while scrolling on TikTok, and now I’m obsessed with it! I’m on a diet, and this makes it so much easier for me instead of having to search up every single product I want’s title, and asking if it’s processed or not. It also helped me learned the different levels of processed- ultra processed, processed, minimally processed, and whole food. It doesn’t have ads, and you don’t have to pay to use the app for your daily use.

Camera Interface is Terrible

The main way in which the app collects its data is through the camera. But the interface to the camera on a phone is not good. The orientation of the pictures is off which makes it hard to take a quick pic without turning the item sideways. Additionally, if the item has a small barcode or ingredients, you cannot leverage the focus function of the camera as you get closer to what you are scanning. When you try and take a picture from far away, the accuracy of the ingredients analysis is WAY off. I have noticed the app will add ingredients that don’t exist in the item, making the accuracy unreliable. And without accuracy, what’s the point of the app?

Rubbish

Doesn’t scan. Blank screen.

Simple way to avoid ultra processed food

I love an app that sets out to do one thing well. I was looking for a tool to help me reduce or eliminate ultra processed food from my diet. This is it. Scan the barcode, and it tells you where it falls on the NOVA scale, with a nice detailed explanation of why. Barcode isn’t in their database? Scan the ingredient list and you will get your result almost instantly. To the developers, bravo!

Bugs

There's a bug where it's just a black screen when u try to scan something, even though the camera permission is on. I tried to fix it by turning the camera permission off then on again, but it didn't work.

Can’t Scan

Spent way too much time trying to get the main feature — the camera — to even focus on anything. Deleted.

Wouldn’t scan anything

Pointless app as it scans the barcode fine but cannot photograph the ingredients list. Just keeps saying it can’t detect ingredients. Doesn’t matter how close up or far away the list is. Just won’t read it. Tried a few times on several different items. Gave up in the end and deleted.

Clunky

Have to be to precise with bar codes. Waste of time I want to scan the bar code and go! Just read your label if you cant find it in your kitchen it’s processed. App had potential but a long way to go.

So worth it

An essential when shopping for whole foods that are minimally processed.

This app is phenomenal

I’ve only used this app for a short while, but it is phenomenal. The appearance is very appealing and it’s so easy to scan a product.
What makes it phenomenal, in my mind, is that if a barcode scan doesn’t return a matching food, it has you take a picture of the ingredient list and it matches those ingredients with its database to develop a rating for you.
That’s pretty incredible.
This app is doing a great service to the health of its users.
Thank you for this app.

Great simple app that has room to grow

Love this app. It’s so easy to use. Definitely has some bugs though. I have two brands of an item with the exact same ingredient list but one is processed and one is ultra processed? You still have to use common sense.

It would also be great if you could search the database. It would be much faster to be able to see what brands of varieties of things are better for you rather than having to individually scan each one as you walk through the grocery store. There may be hidden gems you didn’t even think to check.
