Simple & easy to use
The Shop Ethical! app is a great starting place if you're wanting to shop more ethically. The ratings give a broad but good overview of how ethical (or unethical) a company is - ratings are not for products themselves.
I use this app all the time to check the 'eco credentials' and ethical nature of the company behind products I'm interested in buying. I find it especially helpful when comparing similar items, it helps me to choose the more ethical one as you see a list of alternatives in each category.
Overall I would rate 4* because there's always things that can be improved; I especially find it frustrating that sometimes I can't find ratings for particular companies or brands, so I have to do my own research to find the name of the overarching company. But overall it's a great app and very simple to use, although the ratings could be confusing for someone new to it.

Very informative app
This app has changed the way I shop. The awareness it’s given me about the ethics and global reach of companies is mind-blowing. I would have given it 5stars if it included more companies, but many I normally use are represented here.
Good but not great
Many products are completely missing eg maple syrup.
Keeps getting better
I’ve had this app for years and go through periods where I don’t use it frequently. And every time I come back, it’s better somehow. More info, easier to navigate. It just keeps getting better! Love it.
