No silly score system like other apps. You just scan a picture of the ingredients and it tells you what it finds that could be a bad ingredient. You can then click on each ingredient, get a summary and even links to articles on why it might be bad. From possible contamination with toxic ingredients because of the manufacturing process to being a possible carcinogen and more. Just make sure to get a good picture since rounded text like on some bottles can’t be read by the scanner. It’s best to go to the product page online and take a screenshot of the ingredients. I find this the easiest way to scan. Manufacturers can change ingredients at the drop of a hat and by scanning the ingredients versus relying on a score on some website I feel more confident than I’m able to find clean products using this app. ### 3/5 — Helpful but glitches often *2025-01-23* I do find this app helpful when deciding which hygiene products to buy, but it constantly freezes and crashes! I think it works best when you take a screen shot of something you want to buy online and scan vs scanning labels in store since it glitches/closes automatically all the time. I get so frustrated repeatedly trying to scan items at the store before it just closes out, I’ve stopped trying. It still does it with screen shots too but I have more time at home to try it 3 or 4 times. I’m disappointed that I spent $20 on this app to help me choose products at the store but I still have to do other research ahead of time since I don’t know if this will work or not. I do wonder if other people have the same issue (I have an iPhone and do auto updates). **Developer response:** Please email me at support@switchnatural.com so we can resolve this ASAP thank you! ### 5/5 — HELPFUL!!!! *2024-12-01, version 4.8.5* This app has become my staple, if it’s not switch approved then it’s a no. Love how this app is helpful online and in stores. Makes shopping so much easier. Thank you for creating a reliable app unlike the other apps. ### 5/5 — Worth the money! *2024-11-30, version 4.8.5* Highly recommend! Easy to use, great to have on hand everywhere you go! Helps take off some mental load of a less toxic lifestyle! Customer service/response is great. You won’t be disappointed! ### 5/5 — SO grateful for this app!!! *2024-11-30* If I could give this app 1,000 stars, I would! It is rare these days to find a resource that you can actually trust. Unlike other similar apps that often downplay the severity of toxic ingredients because they get funding from the companies that use them, Andrea can never be bought! The cost of the app is such a small price to pay for the peace of mind knowing the creator of it will never take a single penny from a big company to skew the data. Andrea is a regular person just like us. A brilliant mother who does an incredible amount of research, constantly updates the app with new findings from reliable resources, and truly cares about helping others find the least-toxic and safest products for their families. I have recommended the SwitchNatural app to countless friends and family members, and now I’m recommending it to you too! It’s a must-have! Still on the fence? Follow her on Instagram for a few days to see how the app works in real-time, get to know the woman who created it, and then come back here and get it. You won’t be sorry! ### 5/5 — When in Doubt *2024-11-30, version 4.8.5* I purchased the switch natural app the day it was released and I have not been disappointed yet! I scan products ENDLESSLY. I promise, it’s not money wasted! Not only does it tell me whether a product is clean or not, it lists out potentially harmful ingredients with an explanation for each ingredient so that you are able to fully understand why the ingredient shouldn’t be in our products! ### 5/5 — The best app!!! *2024-11-30, version 4.8.5* This app has been such a helpful tool as I made the switch to clean products! I have used it for over a year now. It gives exactly what is harmful in the product and articles to back up the claims. I recommend this app to everyone. Its soooo easy to use!!! ### 5/5 — Worth the $20 *2024-11-30, version 4.8.5* This app is so easy to use. Has a link dolly to all products that are non toxic. Also if you follow on IG Andrea is always educating you on toxic products, offers product reviews which is great. And if you ever have questions she always answers them. It has made my transition to nontoxic products much easier. And when you scan things and something comes up toxic it not only lists it but also gives you the information of why it is when you touch it. ### 3/5 — Nice concept, constantly crashes *2024-11-07, version 4.8.5* Really like the idea of this app, and it’s usable, but crashes constantly. ### 5/5 — BEST APP EVER!! *2024-11-01, version 4.8.5* I absolutely love this!! I’m slowly switching out all my toxic household items and this app is the best one to help with! I love that it was a one time purchase and I was able to share it with my sister. I even got my husband addicted to it. We love going to stores and scanning all the products. I like that you can take a screenshot online of a product and see the ingredients so it just doesn’t have to be in person. Also love that there’s a feature to find a non toxic option! GET IT. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Simplify your life! *2024-10-29, version 4.8.5* If you are trying to reduce the toxins in your life but hate reading ingredients or want to save time this app is for you! It is so easy to use. I absolutely love it! I rarely pay for an app but this one is so worth it! ### 5/5 — Amazing!! Have been needing this app forever!! *2024-10-03* I was surprisingly happy with this app. Most apps don’t give you this kind of information. It’s as simple as scanning a label & the app will tell you if there are toxic ingredients. It then will break down information about why those ingredients are toxic. This was a God send for me. Especially because I do not have time to sit and learn every single ingredient. Not to mention keep up with the “new names” they constantly create once we do realize an ingredient is bad. I couldn’t believe how many stores had toxic ingredients. The only place I haven’t really found toxic ingredients is aldis. So not only is it cheaper but you have clean food/ingredients! Great app. So worth it. Never leave reviews on apps! ### 5/5 — Most accurate app to learn about ingredients *2024-09-01, version 4.8.5* The best $20 you will ever spend! This app has been so eye opening and helpful. You scan the ingredients list of a product and it lets you know right away whether it contains harmful ingredients or not. I have been using this app every single day since I purchased it. If you don’t already, follow her account on instagram where she educates people on various harmful and clean products, Andrea is amazing and I’m grateful to have found her content. ### 5/5 — My new best friend for shopping *2024-09-01, version 4.8.5* This app is a must have if you are looking for more natural and cleaner products. I have been slowly switching all my cleaning products and I use this on every shopping trip for help. When I can’t find clean alternatives in store, I use the shop feature to find what I need. The app is updated constantly with new products and information. This is an app I know I can trust! ### 5/5 — App can’t live without *2024-08-28, version 4.8.5* This is the best app and the best $20 I have ever spent! This app has saved me so much money on buying products using them and finding out they are toxic later and throwing it out. Now I scan the ingredients when shopping and eliminate them right away if they are toxic. I have been cleaning up my beauty and household products using this app! Thank you Andrea for the creation of this app! I depend on your app every single day to keep my family and I safe and toxic free! This app is a must for every person who cares about their health and toxins in their environment! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — $20/yr *2026-02-28, version 5.2.1* Going from $20 for the app when I first saw it to it being $20/yr is very hard to justify. I don’t really care about the seven days free that they now provide when the jump is so exponential. Disappointing that instead of prioritizing this being accessible to more people it’s now even less so. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-08-26, version 5.0.1* They charged my account randomly after I deleted the app and I didn’t even buy anything from the app ### 1/5 — Thought it worked for food 😔 *2024-03-17, version 4.8.0* It was not clear to me that this app worked specifically for beauty products. I was really excited to have it for the things that I eat but it doesn’t work for that… even if I look up things like “high fructose corn syrup” nothing shows up… I think that needs to be made a little more clear and I hope that will be an update later on. ### 1/5 — Not sure how accurate it is. *2023-03-30* The app needs to show a list of the ingredients it scanned in the picture. I have no idea if it’s actually reading all of the ingredients shown in my picture. The app either says no toxic ingredients found or lists the ingredients that are toxic. But I don’t know if the app actually read all of the ingredients since it doesn’t list anything except for the toxic ones it found. I’m not sure if it’s reading accurately or not. It would be comforting to know that even when it says no toxic ingredients were found that it listed all the ingredients that it did find in the picture and had a green check mark next to it or something to indicate that that specific ingredient is not toxic. It would also be nice if the app kept a history of everything you scanned so that you can look it up instead of having to rescan something you already scanned and just can’t remember what it said. For $20, it definitely needs to provide way more than what it currently is providing. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2023-02-06, version 4.6.0* An influencer said it was the best app! So far it doesn’t recognise any of my products or worse tells me all my products are fine. Even though I know they contain talc etc… I try to put them in manually … that doesn’t work either. Spent $31 on nothing. Yes unfollowed the influencer! ### 2/5 — Switched to subscription based *2025-10-30, version 5.2.0* I loved this app and recommended it to all my friends! It was a $20 one time purchase and now I can’t access it due to it switching to a subscription service $20/yr. Such a shame :/ ### 2/5 — Please go back to the old version!! *2025-07-23, version 5.0.1* Loved this app until the recent update. If you don't give the app full permission to photos, you have to close the app and reopen to get the "select more photos" option again OR toggle back and forth between settings to add more photos. Making it a colossal pain when trying to check multiple items online or in store. I rarely use this app anymore because of the update :( please go back to the previous layout/selection method! ### 2/5 — Really hate the recent app update *2025-07-13, version 5.0.1* Love the product but HATE the recent app update. If you don’t give full permission to all photos, it is very clunky and hard to use. I would never give any app full permission to photos/location, etc. and this update is extremely disappointing. Makes it very hard to use. Please go back to the older version! ### 2/5 — crashes *2024-02-28, version 4.8.0* i’ve really liked this app in the past but recently after the update and even before, all it does is crash. ### 2/5 — Not quite confident on how accurate the scans are *2023-09-13, version 4.7.0* I just scanned something I know for sure has ingredients that are not clean. It told me that there wasn’t anything found in it. I’m really disappointed. EWG website is free and it gives me a lot of info. I know people are not super fond of the EWG website, but I can say that with what they give me it seems more reliable. I will continue to try it out, but I’m skeptical. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Most used app *2025-10-17, version 5.2.0* This app has been such a great addition to my life. It helps me stay motivated, organized, and mindful about my health. And love the owner Andrea so nice and always there to help you. She’s the best!! ### 5/5 — Staple for TRUE Healthy Living *2025-10-02, version 5.2.0* This app is hands down the most important app I’ve ever downloaded. Not only does it give you the ability to scan products to determine if they contain any toxic ingredients, but it also provides you with the research behind any proven or possible toxicity in ingredients. Unbelievably easy to use — an essential daily tool for healthy living and limiting toxin exposure. Would give 50/5 stars if I could. ### 5/5 — You 100% need *2025-10-02, version 5.2.0* To say I love this app is an understatement. This is WAY better than any app I have tried. I love that it simply reads the ingredients and let’s you see research about the toxic ones. It doesn’t just hand out a rating. It’s informative and gives great alternative options. My favorite feature is being able to either take a photo or upload a screenshot. Much easier to look up a product than any other app like this. ### 5/5 — Perfect App *2025-10-02, version 5.2.0* This app is extremely helpful and I am very grateful for it. ### 5/5 — Amazing App! *2025-10-02, version 5.2.0* Such a game changer for people seeking clean products. So easy to use and find amazing clean products in seconds. Trustable non bias easy to understand. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — I’m in LOVE! *2025-05-09* I love when something is user friendly and does what it says it’s supposed to do! The SN app is just that! It’s super easy to use AND it helps me make informed decisions on what ingredients I want to be exposed to! I love that it’s not a generic scale that could be biased, but it is actual facts with studies to show the data! Then I can decide if an ingredient or formula is worth it to me or not. This puts the information in the consumers’ hands and isn’t a “bought out” app that tells you what is “clean” or not. I love that it’s all about providing information for the consumer to make the decision, but there is also a link dolly website that takes the guesswork away if you just want a recommendation. ### 5/5 — Worth it!! *2025-05-07, version 5.0* This is one of the only apps on the market, where the person behind the app does not get paid by companies to say whether or not a product is good or bad. For me it is all about the ingredients. I want clean ingredients that are going to be beneficial for my health in the long run. So thankful for this app! ### 5/5 — LOVE this app! *2024-12-15, version 4.8.5* I have been using this app for about a year now and absolutely love it. It helps me decipher what products I should and shouldn’t be using with a quick photo of the long list of ingredients. I couldn’t recommend this more, download now :) you won’t regret it. ### 5/5 — My favorite app! *2024-12-04, version 4.8.5* This app is incredible & worth the fee! ### 5/5 — Switch Natural *2024-12-01, version 4.8.5* A must have for anyone on a non toxic, clean beauty, safeR product journey! Highly recommend this app - it’s user friendly and shows any potentially unsafe ingredients with the snap of a picture. It even provides examples of recommended products; if you’ve got decision fatigue this can be extremely helpful! Satisfied with my purchase, you will be too. 🙂 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
