Excellent app
Such a valuable tool for deciding what to buy to eat. So much more relevant information than trying to read the ingredients labels. Changed our regular shopping items significantly, for the better. Works in multiple countries too.
Company sold out
They’ve clearly been bought by large corporations. Giving better reports to companies like Unilever. Doge shampoo has a high score but clearly has nasty cancer causing ingredients. Be very careful when using this app and still thick the ingredients!
Proceed with Caution
It’s been great for skin care and the like, but be careful when searching food. Especially if you are someone prone to disordered eating. The rating metric on food is clearly very warped, many foods are ranked as “poor” or “bad” simply based on calories without any other risk factor referenced. Calories equal energy, you shouldn’t be marking something as bad for you based on calories alone. That’s insane. I cared about looking for harmful additives and things like that, I can discern calories for myself and this is not a fitness or nutrition app. I am actually alarmed by how many foods they are marking as “bad” just based on calories. Example, they ranked Lays original potato chips at 32/100 due to sodium, fat, and calories. Makes sense. They marked Wilde protein chips (made from chicken and not deep fried) with the same 32/100 due to only sodium and calories. Chips are going to have sodium, that’s a given and something to watch for. But I’m not too concerned about 210 calories in my protein chips that have 14g of protein in a serving and actually have some kind of nutritional value (and a serving is 10 grams more than the potato chips, which have no protein or nutritional value to offer). Clearly one of these options is more heart healthy than the other. Proceed with caution, I will not use this for food anymore.

Yuka
It’s actually really good and provides various types of items when scanning the QR code. If they don’t have the product you can literally fill in the information and it will rate it out of 100. This is recommended if you’re going to shop for beauty products or food products.
Amazing app
This amazing app keeps improving! There’s a one click option to send an email to the companies that have harmful products. Also, they are now giving price comparison sometimes with optional links to purchase the healthier options so we don’t have to go searching all over for them!!
