Excellente application et facile utilisation

Je cherchais une application qui pouvait m’aider a faire de meilleur choix avec les aliments et mes produits cosmétiques. Je suis tellement satisfaite car il est trop difficile de s’orienter et de comprendre comment faire de bons choix. Un gros merci au créateur!!Je l’utilise maintenant presque à tout les jours en scannant mes produits à l’épicerie et la pharmacie et je fais maintenant des choix éclairé!!

near perfection

just needs reviews on protein heavy products and i’m nitpicking

Recommended lotion w/cancer chems

This app, so far, has done 2 things which I disagree with and have deleted the app. 1) it recommended Aveeno oat lotion as a “replacement” for a “Poor” rated lotion I had scanned. Aveeno is known to have cancer causing chems in it. So…..? Huh? 2. Saturated fats (dairy, meats, fish, etc) are rated a “Poor”. Which they are not. Just seed oils. So I don’t trust them. By by corporate punks!

Must have App

Absolutely love this App. Shared to me by my daughter it guides me in healthy food and product choice . In order to live a healthier and better life .
I’m gobsmacked at the amount of chemicals and preservatives that taint our food . Down load the app to see what you don’t want in your food and products . Thanks Yuka for a great and useful App

The very best

What a game changer Yuka is! I love the simplicity & ease at how it has enabled me to eat healthier & how it’s an educational tool at the same time - it’s a no brainer & I am truly thankful it exists!!!

Shopping made easy!

I'm met a lady who had the app and she showed it to me because we got to talking about some lotion that I had in my purse. I used the app the other day at Costco. All I had to do was scan it , pretty easy and it showed me the rating. It helped me determine better products I can buy from my family. Thank you!!!

More filters needed

I feel like this app has great potential but a lot of things that says are bad for you are listed as just a common allergen. If there is a way to add filters to help find or search for specific ingredients and all their other names, I feel like I would use this more because there are some products that are amazing and worked very well and are not bad for you, but because there are some common allergens it’s rated slowly on this app

Great app, could use clean up

I use Yuka and absolutely recommend to friends. I would like to see this app cleaned up a bit. Users submitted pictures of items and when you search up a product you can sometimes see different ratings for the exact same product. With conflicting rating it makes it difficult to make an informed choice. The creaters should sweep the app and correct these conflicting ratings for the same product

Clasificacion de Yuka

Muy buena app y una app que es muy funcional

Price hikes, no cruelty free qualification

This went up in price from $8 to $10 to now $15 in about two years (2024-2026) while the catalog was still heavily expanding and lacked tons of basic brands and products. Of huge significance to some of us, Yuka still has NO cruelty-free marker or notation for animal testing. Its recommendations for “cleaner” subs are often nothing like the original search and yield literally no benefit to the discerning consumer who already knows better. Moreover, there are misrepresentations about the better-scoring cosmetic products since the statistics purport to assess safety through ingredient examination of previously tested ingredients that are toxic, banned, or whatnot without ever disclosing the exact amounts of the ingredients. This is a problem because some of the j ingredients are not bad at the percentages they are in the formulas and only pose mild threats when they aggregate on your skin, for example. This is coming from someone who’s been “natural” for almost 2 decades now. This is totally overpriced for what it is now. If you must, download it for a little bit and figure out what works for you. But don’t rely fully on their representations without doing your own diligence. It’s lowkey fear-mongering.

Great app!

I suffer from severe allergies and sensitivities and my holistic doctor recommended this app. It changed everything for me! Of course there are some improvements needed, but for the most part it works very well!

Highly recommend!

Too good , just too good

Four words: Good lifestyle highly recommended

App Issues

Nice app but there are navigation issues. When you scan an item there is no way to get back to the Home Screen.

My brilliantly easy food guide!

YUKA has been a fantastic food guide and SO easy to use.
If YUKA doesn’t recommend something when I scan the product, I don’t buy it and they often give a healthier alternative…
This app has changed my life, literally! for the better.
I’m so grateful!!

Weird.

I liked this app but it won’t let me open the app anymore or delete it
