App too cluttered

I had the app for less than 24hrs. I like how it identifies seed oils. Basically, everything is on the bad list. But my biggest issue
is the cluttered page. It’s giving Pinterest PTSD. Too many articles. Too much ‘do better’ advice. Unlike Yuka that neatly lists every food you scan and captures the bar code a lot quicker. On Yuka it’s a very easy to find your history by scrolling down a list than on Panda scrolling to the left. If only Yuka identified the bad oils it would be perfect, and it’s free. Panda, you’re doing too much!

No Help

I was looking for an app to help with allergies. This IS NOT IT! I canceled the app the same day, within an hour of getting and was still charged and can NOT get any help getting my money back 😡

The reason why I love Trash Panda

Personally, I really love Trash Panda because I was eating food that wasn’t actually good for me and I was gaining gaining some fat and I used to be about like maybe like 200 or something but now I’m all the way down to 130 because Trash Panda shows me what is bad and what is isn’t bad so you should definitely install it and give it five stars dude

Used to be unlimited scans for free

I used to use this app a lot until it was changed to 5 free scans a month. Would have gladly paid and supported but even if nothing is found and there isn’t any information on your scan…it still counts towards your 5 free scans. I will find another app
