There are , however, two things that bother me. 1) I feel the wise score should be directly under the food rating, not all the way at the bottom. 2) I think you should be able to search food without needing to scan a barcode. If I’m looking to buy something online, I don’t have to physically barcode to scan. That means I can chance getting something that I wouldn’t have wanted depending on the score, or I just don’t get it and maybe risk something that would’ve had a good score. ### 4/5 — Wise *2026-04-03, version 2.10.14* Happy ### 4/5 — Old version better *2026-03-15, version 2.14.36* I’m still like the previous version easy and fast , no time to look all the new information ### 5/5 — Great *2026-03-09, version 2.10.14* This app helps with my foods and allergies ### 5/5 — Food *2026-03-08, version 2.10.14* Great ### 5/5 — Information is power *2026-03-08* This is exactly what we needed. Sometimes it’s so hard to understand whether the ingredients in a product are going to be good for you. I knew how to read a nutrition label, but some ingredients are complicated. Now, a simple scan shows you what level of processing the ingredients in each product have undergone. Love it. ### 5/5 — So happy this exists!! *2026-03-05, version 2.14.36* This an amazing service to anyone who wants to know what they’re eating….

I love being able to quickly scan a product and see whether it’s ultra-processed, along with a clear breakdown of the ingredients and overall nutrition quality. What I really appreciate is that it helps me make better choices not just for myself, but for my family too. Knowing what’s actually in the food we’re eating matters, and this app makes that so much easier to understand. I really appreciate what the team behind WiseCode is doing. ### 5/5 — Game Changer *2026-03-04* I’ve been using this app for my weekly grocery trips and it’s honestly changed the way I shop. Being able to scan items and instantly see whether they’re ultra-processed makes it so much easier to make informed choices without standing in the aisle googling ingredients. It’s simple, fast, and actually useful - especially if you’re trying to be more mindful about what you’re eating without overcomplicating things. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — This will replace all other nutrition apps *2026-03-04* What these guys are building is amazing. It is way easier to use now and instantly lets you what you need to do. Instead of the app taking you through a series of ads like my fitness pal, it instantly opens up the scan tool. This is my go-to now. **Developer response:** Thank you for spotlighting what makes WISEcode different! Ease, clarity, and zero distractions are the only path to food transparency. We’re here to keep that seamless experience growing. ### 5/5 — The Best Food App Available!!! *2026-03-04* I honestly can’t believe I went this long without this app. I’ve tried others but they just give you a pass/fail with no explanation, this one actually tells you why. You can see every ingredient broken down, what it is, and how it’s classified. I finally feel like I understand what I’m putting in my cart. If you care about what your family is eating, just download it. It’s that good. ### 5/5 — Great to learn about packaged foods *2026-03-04, version 2.14.31* It helped me learn find out what’s in what I buy. The experience is very smooth ### 5/5 — Omarsafi *2026-03-04, version 2.12.17* Omarsafi ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t scan *2026-06-25, version 2.14.82* Just downloaded and set up. Tried to scan my first item, but nothing happens. Now I can’t gat past the scanner. ### 1/5 — Not Bobby Approved-Deleted App *2026-02-21, version 2.12.17* I use the other app to tell me if it’s healthy for me. This app approved products that were GMO, and had ingredients that I don’t want in my food so I deleted it. ### 1/5 — ?? *2025-11-08, version 2.10.14* So far nothing I’ve scanned has been recognized ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-11-05, version 2.10.14* I can and it wants a photo of everything I scan. 😢😢 ### 1/5 — Not so Wise *2025-10-24, version 2.10.14* Nothing I scanned showed up in their database. I was not scanning exotic foods. Even Mission tortillas was “ not in the database “. I am out. ### 1/5 — WISEcode *2025-09-29, version 2.10.9* You scan products it does nothing ### 1/5 — Disappoint ting *2025-09-21, version 2.8.0* Was working fine and now it doesn’t work at all. ### 1/5 — Can’t find product *2025-09-08, version 2.7.2* I like the app when it actually works but most of the time can’t find item. ### 1/5 — Can’t even use it *2024-12-08, version 1.1.1* It won’t open past the welcome page. ### 2/5 — Won’t stop asking to do a review *2026-03-10, version 2.10.14* It’s very annoying ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-08-19* I think someone has finally got it! There are some of us who care about what we eat, some don’t - I happen to care!! I’m so happy that someone came up w/this! I didn’t think that it was fair that you just had to trust the makers of the products of your favorite foods, that they’re not trying to kill you. But now I read ingredients, then just scan away & the truth comes out! At this time, I am very happy w/WISEcode! ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-05-23, version 2.7.2* Enjoy getting good info ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-04-10* I love how the owl is so judgmental- it makes it easy to sort out what food is safe. I’ve been looking for an app like this for a while to sort out the ingredients that are challenging to decipher. It makes it easy to see these companies trying to sell me ultra processed food that is actually poison. Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — Me *2026-04-09, version 2.14.54* Real good ### 5/5 — Technical hiccups: *2026-04-05* It’s not flawless. Sometimes the scan button gets finicky, or you’ll find a product that isn't in their database yet. It can be a little frustrating when you’re in a rush ### 5/5 — You are what you eat *2026-03-29, version 2.14.48* Absolutely amazing knowledge is key about what you put in your body thanks for this awesome app ### 5/5 — I love this app *2026-03-26, version 2.14.48* Good for kids, but strict diet ### 5/5 — This app is actually a game changer *2026-03-18* Basically I just downloaded this app and started scanning my chips and said it was super ultra processed, I would RECOMMEND this app if you want to know what’s in your chips or whatever. ### 5/5 — How *2026-03-12, version 2.14.36* Now ### 5/5 — Game-changing app *2026-03-09* I will be using this app all the time moving forward. Great information and very easy to use and navigate. Truly an incredible tool to have for transparency in the food I buy. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
