Doesn’t work

Would be really useful, but it doesn’t work. I scanned it with several different items and got a loading symbol for eternity.

Thank you - helpful app!!!!

Yes!!! So helpful! Easy enough to scan! Does not likely have all the products in your pantry in the database. HOWEVER, wish I would’ve discovered this sooner! Suffer the same problems & unknowingly consume sugar alcohols - buried under their many different names.

To the developer -thank you for your great idea as well as for generously sharing this us! I’ll always use it from now on in the store. It’s a lifesaver!

None found

Many items I scan say none found. I wish there would be a way for people to add these items to the list once they are deemed safe or toxic. Otherwise it is an ok app.

Sugar alcohols are terrible!

They need to be regulated. Our children need protection.

Dosent work

Im scanning food barcodes i hear a beep then just keeps loading nothing happens
