Not accurate

A LOT of clearly US products are claimed to be 5/5 Canadian.
Deleted and got a better app that’s clearly made my Canadians

Phishing scam ads

Watch out for the ads which look like phishing scams. I just got one saying “phone memory full”. My phone has lots of free memory. I didn’t click and immediately deleted this app.

Rip off

Don’t waste your time. Require Q reader for $12.95 to work. So disappointed. Other apps works way better

Good, but

Overall i love the idea, but it doesn’t look “refined”. It doesn’t follow standard Apple UI design and so is not super user-friendly. I also wish there was a way to pay a one-time fee to get rid of the ads.

Does the job

Simple and quick. 4 only because I’m sure it can become a little slicker.

Edit option needed

I use this app all the time, but I recently added a product title and needed to edit it due to AutoCorrect issues on my phone. I also added information about where is imported from and That also needed editing. Montreal changed to MONT ROYAL.

Not worth it

The data base is really small, barely it recognizes a product,a lot of pub…do not download

I love the idea of this app

Unfortunately you can’t edit if you find more info on something that you’ve added

Not accurate

I downloaded three apps to compare for assessing Canadian content. Unfortunately this one was unable to identify the craft beer made in Victoria BC. (Only one app passed the test). Deleted this one.

Go Canada!

I like this app. While a bit clunky, it is improving. I love that as users we can add to the database. This will be a powerful tool over time.

One suggestion: I’d like to see a NO maple leaf option. Non-Canadian products don’t deserve a maple leaf.

Great work. Thanks for putting it out there.

Has potential

There are a lot of barcode scanners out there that will do the same thing. One could also simply look at the product labelling. I would however like to see the scanner produce alternative products. “This product is not Canadian, however look for these instead….”

Good but ads are in the middle of everything

This is a decent app but try placement of a QR scan app is annoying and deceiving. Also the ad is right in the middle of the screen. I’d rather pay a couple of dollars rather than see ads all the time.

My second opinion (after a week of use)

I like the idea,, I get that it will take some time to build up the database,, maybe future updates,,, have a user input for a shopping list, that would suggest Canadian options

Love!

Love this, exactly what I needed!

Not Accurate

Scanning shows Canadians when it is a product of USA and made in USA on many products

American advertisements

It’s ironic to download the app and the first ad - which I selected to support the app developers - is an American online therapy company. C’mon guys.

The best app on the market

This app is incredible. Yes it does have its kinks that are being worked out (as all apps do) but it’s is precise and with real people reviews for products. The simplicity of the app makes it’s a must when grocery shopping. I can’t imagine doing my grocery shopping without it

Good app

This app is a great starting point, it has many areas it can work on, specifically the user input and correctly identifying Canadian products, but it’s a great app and quite helpful

Could be good

This app could be good but for me it always says no info available
Even on basic items like Pepsi

Easy to use

I managed an entire grocery shop without a single US product purchased using this app.
