Tried to use in shop but it didn’t work so useless

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!

Very good app - everyone should have

Very good app. My only comments would be to add a way to upload pictures directly and bypass the initial barcode scan.

I want to use the app to check food details before I buy online (which the app is in theory capable of). At the moment I have to look products up on my work phone or laptop and then take a picture of that second screen showing the ingredients list and front of product. It would be a lot easier if you could just upload screenshots and pictures from the phone gallery.
