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.

Drains my battery

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