Scam

Total scam of an app like others have said. No idea how this has any stars. Avoid.

Do not buy

App doesn’t work properly. It doesn’t tell you if the food is vegan. you scan it, and then it asks you “what do you think?” and you hit yes or no. I’ve scanned several items and that’s all it does. Complete waste of money. I should’ve known better when an app doesn’t give you a seven day free trial.

Ne fonctionne pas

💀

Price is far too high!

£4.99 a week!?
This app has potential, but at that price I will just google search as I go. Please reconsider your cost price and this may get more users

No good

Not helpful or useful

DE PAGO

puede mejorar

no carga bien al escanear y se queda pausado por mucho tiempo

Terrible

I’m a new vegan, and the app doesn’t help at all. You scan the item barcode, and then the app asks ME to vote whether something is vegan or not. Not helpful. I wasted $20.

UseLESS

Does not have no database of an actual, vegan or non-vegan food item. You scan it in and ask for you to answer if you think it is vegan or not this app needs serious upgrading! Also, why is it .499 monthly the recipes?

Very little data available in the UK. Needs a longer free period.

In theory, this is a handy little utility when shopping. But, since most products have a full ingredient list written on them, it's only a convenience.

Except that it's not (in the UK, at least). A three day free trial is enough to use it on a single shop, and I scanned a couple of dozen items.

I found no items with developer provided information. So I don't know what that looks like, and can't assess the quality of their information.

I found two items with crowdsourced information, and those had only a couple of votes each. One, containing honey, had a "yes" and a "no".

I made a few votes myself, so spent more time on my shop that otherwise. And I learned exactly nothing from the app.

Give people a longer free trial, or lower subscription prices, and perhaps they'll upload more data and make the app useful.

the app is a scam

I signed up for free six months ago, then after a few weeks they started charging me $4.99 weekly with no notifications. They got about 130 dollars out of me before I recognized the scam. It seems that somewhere in the fine print it must say that they charge after a few weeks, enough for you to forget all about it and not notice the weekly payments.

have to pay

downloaded but then couldn’t use unless i began a 3 day free trial and eventually payed!!

SCAM

La scarichi gratis, poi appena la apri ti chiede di pagare 17,99€ non si può neanche utilizzare. Se potessi dare 0 stelle lo farei.

Bulls**t app!! SCAM!!

You scan a product and it asks if you think it’s vegan but won’t tell you if it’s actually vegan!! Cancelled the free trial straight away because of course, you can’t even scan something without accepting the free trial! Hope I don’t get charged anyway like so many other reviewers. Disappointed in myself for not reading the reviews first!!!

Requires payment.

What a scam.

Trying to Cancel

Suppose to have free trial. I can’t even get into the app. Need to cancel

Awful app scam

Awful app said free trail then charged me looking for a refund

Not good

I wish there was an explanation on if the item is vegan or not

Terrible

Terrible app that is a total waste of money. There are barely any recipes on it and I have yet to be told whether a product is vegan or not. When I try and scan a product it I asks me whether I think it is vegan or not. The whole point of me getting the app was so I was told whether or not it was a vegan product. Totally misleading.

The app relies on users guesses, which is not good

Yeah, the title says it all, if you scan a product you can see how many other users guessed if it’s vegan or not which as you can probably tell isn’t a good way to decide something like that.
