Not sure I trust this app

A supplement I scanned a while back was showing as minimally processed. After updating the app, it is now ultra processed. The ingredients have not changed. Some scans require scan of barcode and then the ingredients (which was the case for this one). For this particular supplement, it noted the items that made it ultra processed. For another brand where I only had to scan the bar code (didn’t have to scan ingredients) it said these same ingredients were not a problem. It actually listed those ingredients in the notes after the scan, too. I will attach 2 app captures if I’m able.

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.

Response from developer

Hi there! We are so sorry to hear you're having some issues. We have just released an all-new large updated, which will solve this for you! If you reinstall the app, please let us know if you have any further issues!

Can’t Scan

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

Response from developer

Please give it another try, and feel free to reach out to us directly at info@processedapp.com — we’d love to help make things right. -The Processed App Team

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.

Response from developer

Hi there, We are so sorry to hear you had some issues with the app! If you'd like to give us another try, we are rolling out a new update that should fix these issues. We hope we see you again! Update: A new update is now live with major improvements to camera quality and scanning performance. We’d love for you to give it another try!

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.
