Not updated.
Database hasn’t been updated in quite some time since I purchased this several years ago, even if it says the app itself has been updated.
Great App!! Perfect
It’s a great app that is way faster than others available and it’s way less money without the recurring fees of the others, the developer cares and builds a great solution! Hopefully soon he will build an add on for dairy checking as well!!!
Poor
I just purchased today and walked through my kitchen and the first five items I scanned it didn’t recognize. Poor app. Wish I could get my money back.
Not found!
I use to use this app all the time but now it’s like every time I try to use it, it can’t find what I’m scanning. I was actually getting on to see if it needed to be updated (it doesn’t, updated last week) because I scanned a sauce that has been in my pantry for months, so it’s not even new and it couldn’t find it.

Essential resource, room for improvement
This app is such a vital tool for a Celiac, and especially for my non-Celiac family members who understand less about how to read food labels and find food that is safe for me to eat. When they can scan a food label and get a clear GLUTEN FREE or CONTAINS GLUTEN label, that is very helpful.
Most of the time, you get a more ambiguous “No gluten-containing ingredients” which then requires the research rabbit hole us Celiacs are all familiar with. I know it must be really hard to add in manufacturer info beyond the ingredient list and certification status of many thousands of products. One feature idea is to add a voting system or comments on individual products so celiacs can easily share notes such as “I called the manufacturer and they told me x,y,z” or “this brand is generally safe” etc. This would be hugely helpful, since the users of this app have to do tons of research on everything we eat anyway, and it would be helpful to scan a barcode and if it isn’t a clear GF or non-GF, to benefit from the research other celiacs have done. Could partner with celiac.com, which is where a lot of this research is disseminated.
Another suggestion for iOS: integration with the Control Center so you can call up the scanner as easily as the phone’s flashlight or camera. Also, adding Shortcuts capabilities so app users can improve access and usability on their own devices. Generally, the app could use some improvement on its user interface and navigation. Like I said, it’s an invaluable resource, but I’d love to see it making incremental improvements to its database and usability. I really hope this happens!
Anyway, thank you for doing this work, I am so grateful.

Was great but lacks new SKU’s
App was great but doesn’t seem to be updated for many current SKU’s. Constantly getting “Barcode number not found” for common products.
Database missing too many things
As a newly diagnosed Celiac patient, I am looking for an app that I can quickly scan items while shopping. I don’t want to spend all day at the store reading every label, I just want a quick yes or no.
This could be a good app, but so many common items are missing from the database. I could understand store brand products missing, but Ruffles chips and Ben’s rice? These are national brands!

Love it when it works
It work’s on some barcodes but there is multiple I’ve scanned and it doesn’t have any information on it, but works great when it is a good on the app.
It’s okay
It’s nice to look up stuff to see if it’s gluten free or not but I’m mad I paid for an app for it to constantly glitch/freeze
Gf
Does not tell if gluten free
Keeps crashing. Samsung works. iPhone not so much.
Over 100 attempts at scanning and the screen just goes white after every scan. Need to kill the app to get out of the white screen. My wife's Samsung seems to work great- my iPhone 12 Pro Max- not so much.
Love the idea- but issues!
So Aldi, Whole Foods and Giant Eagle are most common for having a lot of GF options.
As of today - the “search ingredients” part of the app is broken/ not working/ won’t search.
Also- if there was a photo of the actual ingredients list, that would be super helpful as most celiac has other issues/ allergies and would be nice to see all in one place. If you opened it up w that- I think you’d expand your audience!
Aldi has the most items that are “regular” not labeled GF and has half the amount of garbage, ingredients you can’t even pronounce, I would love to see these items in your list. Since one they are healthier already and even cheaper - people w celiac are also spending more - so this dramatically helps!
Thanks for this app. When it does work- it’s nice.

Not worth it.....
It can read 1 out of 15 barcodes (for me). I don’t like how it just flashes yellow. It doesn’t say what makes it a caution product. I usually end up googling the product for an answer. Would NOT buy again.
I’m about to eat my self. Have you ever watch a man eat his own head? I’m about to
I really thought this was going to be so hard with a new diet . But it’s so easy to use this app to find food and ingredients. I was so scared because I was just planning on eating my own head . Not no more . I’m eating good and it’s healthy! Thank you for creating this app. I like my head.
Thank you

Wonderful
About a year ago I was diagnosed with celiac and this has been a great help. I only wish they could add foods from Trader Joe’s but other than that it scans just about anything.👏👏👏
Saved my life!!!!!
I have celiac disease and this app has saved me and my husband a lot of trouble!!! When I send my husband to market he uses this app for my safety!!!!!
Amazing
This app is AMAZING!!! I share it with people every chance I get. It has helped answer so many questions and has made shopping SOO much easier! THANK YOU!!!!
Database needs increase / user submissions
Ipiit and Fitbit allow for users to submit entries to be added to the database if the item isn’t there. GlutenFree Scanner, even in the paid version, does not. It also doesn’t have a wide enough database.
Great App!
My granddaughter has celiac, and I depend on this app. It has been wonderful until this last week. When I try to scan, it comes up with check internet connection and shuts off. It happens in the store and at home with wifi. I have to uninstall and reinstall to get it to work. Then it does it again. Please help me. Thank you! It is working now! This app is a lifesaver!

Doesn’t work!!!
I was very excited about this app so I just decided to download the full version, and so disappointed because I keep getting a msg saying no internet connection... I can tell you with confidence that My internet is not the issue because I’ve been working in IT for a long time. I even tried downloading it on my IPad and same issue... I keep getting msg: NO INTERNET CONNECTION FOUND... I will give it one more day and if it doesn’t work I will get a refund..
