Shopping list

Not worth the upgrade. I want to push all my items into my Target shopping cart and there is no easy way to do this. App is trash!

most important feature is no longer free

just as the title says, the most important feature, the qr code scanner, is no longer offered for those who don’t pay monthly. insanely disappointing as this app was my go-to. i’m a underaged teen with no personal source of income. i have some very extreme food allergies. i don’t have the money to buy healthier, more natural foods, so the majority of the foods i have show a long list of ingredients, and i loved this app for how simple it made things. i’d understand if another feature was added that was payed, but removing something that was previously free and now making it cost money is extremely disappointing. i’ll be deleting my account, along with the app, and will try to find an alternative. thank you to the creators for helping me and many others with dietary restrictions while they did.

Great & free tool after health scares

Due to recent medical test results I need to heavily improve my diet. Nutrition labels are extremely confusing to me so this app is a great tool for simplifying it to “can eat” and “can’t eat” as well as showing me which categories it’s bad and good for. What I mean by that is a red or green light on categories like heart health, added sugar, etc.

It’s free and simple. My only suggestions right now are more diet categories should be added. Like no gallbladder for example.

Speedy helper

The scanner is lightening fast! Really useful app!

Drains my battery

I like the app but it drains the battery of my phone quickly.

It is not free

As soon as you start putting your info. It ask you to create an account and pay monthly

I would give five stars, but…

Almost 80% of the things I want to check (protein bars and “healthy” snack bars with high fiber, low sugar and carbs (hopefully) aren’t in the database. I can only scan so many for them.

Overall it seems like a great app and unlike many, it seems like it may help diabetics more than many of the others. Just wish the database was better.

WARNING DANGEROUS app! Do not use!

Do not use this app for allergen detection. Most of the companies manufacture their products on equipment that process allergens. There is no legal limit of how much allergen can be present in your food Even if it is not listed in the ingredient list. Furthermore, these companies do not even test their products to see if allergen is present. This app is more dangerous than helpful. This company has a duty to be honest about this.

Fantastic!

Way to go Sifter! This app will truly make healthy eating easy for everyone. It effectively does all of the time consuming work of reading labels and quickly matches my diet (diabetic, low-Fodmap, gluten free) to products I can eat. Thank You!

Can’t live without:)

How did I ever shop without this tool! I am amazed at all the new types of foods I can eat and still stay on my diet!! So many more options, flavors and I am cooking more… precise, accurate and so fast! A must have. It’s like no other!

Saves me so much time in the store

I’m dealing with multiple dietary issues, I’m diabetic, gluten free and dairy intolerant. This Sifter diet let me create my own unique diet of these three combined and now I just scan a product at the store and Sifter instantly tells me if this product meets my diet. So cool. Thank you Sifter.

Awesome!

I’m trying the Keto diet and this app makes it super easy to find food I can have. I was just scanning food in the aisle at the store and it was telling me what I can and can’t buy. Nice! Easy peasy! Who knows, I may stick to this diet if this app can make it easy for me. 👍🏻

The scanner is 👌

Saves a bunch of time at a new store. I can scan stuff instead of reading through ingredients of everything I pick up. Really useful for when I travel and shop someplace that doesn’t carry familiar products

Helps me avoid trigger foods

I have diabetes and IBS so finding the right food is a nightmare. Love that I can scan labels and know right away what’s safe for me to eat

Must-have app if you’re avoiding gluten

Super tool for deciphering food labels. Far more accurate than other apps I’ve tried

Amazing!

Wow, what an amazing app! This app scans food products I want to know about and quickly “sifts” through my designated dietary restrictions based on medical conditions, lifestyle preferences and so much more and then tells me instantly if the food product is ok to eat. Knowing what foods everyone in a household can eat that satisfy gluten-free, vegetarian and heart healthy options is tough. This makes finding what works so much easier. Love it!
