Missing products

First attempt to use and it doesn’t have the product. Not a great start. Searches are for subscribers only so no help there either.

The one benefit so far is the app is easy to navigate

Great, but…..

The food search list isn’t very extensive. Also when the list of foods come up you can’t see half of the information. Not complete screens?? Just annoying!

Very impressed but would get 5 stars if it said whether items were whole foods, minimally processed, processed or ultra processed, not just that they are not ultra processed

Response from developer

Hi! The app requires an internet connection to search our product database, so scanning and searching won’t work offline. We understand that can be frustrating in stores without cellular reception and WiFi, and appreciate your feedback!
