User reviews

Finally, a travel app that gets food allergies

I have a severe peanut allergy and was really nervous about traveling to China. This app literally saved me on day one. Pointed my camera at a bowl of noodles, and it flagged the peanut oil right away. Also the little card you can show to the waiter in Chinese? Genius. Used it 3 times in one meal. Not perfect every single time, but honestly way better than guessing or relying on Google Translate.

FAQ

What is Zouba's primary function?

Zouba acts as an AI-powered food safety companion for travelers. It helps users identify ingredients, understand potential allergens, and communicate dietary needs to restaurant staff, making it easier to eat safely abroad.

How does Zouba handle food allergies and dietary restrictions?

Users can create a personal profile within Zouba to input specific allergens (like peanuts, gluten, shellfish) and dietary restrictions (such as vegetarian or religious preferences). The app then uses this profile to provide personalized guidance on scanned menus and dishes.

Can Zouba help with language barriers when ordering food?

Yes, Zouba includes 'Communication Cards' that display professional terminology to clearly convey dietary needs to chefs, even when a shared language is not available. This ensures clear and respectful communication.

Does Zouba work offline?

The Global Recipe Library within Zouba is available offline, allowing users to access detailed ingredient information for thousands of Asian dishes even without an internet connection. This is particularly useful in remote areas or street food markets.

What kind of AI technology does Zouba use?

Zouba utilizes a next-generation AI vision engine designed for accuracy. This engine can identify dish ingredients from photos of menus or food, catching hidden risk factors that might not be obvious from the text or appearance alone.

How does Zouba ensure user privacy?

Zouba prioritizes privacy with on-device processing for much of its data, meaning your personal information stays local. Chats and settings are also stored locally by default, and industry-standard encryption is used for data transmission.

What are the subscription options for Zouba?

Zouba offers flexible subscription plans to fit different travel needs: a weekly plan for $1.99, a monthly plan for $4.99, and an annual plan for a discounted rate. These plans provide access to the app's full features.

Does Zouba have ads?

No, Zouba is designed to be a pure, focused experience and does not contain any advertisements. This ensures an uninterrupted and user-friendly interface for travelers.
