uForage is a free community food map. It shows you what's growing near you right now: roadside stalls, backyard fruit trees with too much fruit, small growers, honey, eggs, and wild food you walk past every day without seeing. Search for what you actually want. Eggs, lemons, herbs, honey. Results are sorted by what's closest to you, with directions to get there. Got more than you can eat? List your surplus in under a minute. Someone nearby is already looking for it, and your excess goes to a neighbour instead of the compost. Not sure what something is? Point your camera. uForage uses image recognition plus a community of real people to help identify wild and backyard food, with safety and spray warnings on listings. Foraging worldwide. uForage connects to a global database of more than 1.6 million wild food locations, so the map works whether you're in the Northern Rivers or northern Italy. Detail on non-Australian wild food listings requires a subscription. Why we built it Food should be accessible to everyone regardless of income. Community food networks are more resilient than supply chains, and we learned that the hard way during the 2022 Northern Rivers floods, when the roads were cut and the shelves were empty and the people who were okay were the ones who knew their local growers. uForage is free to use, built by two people in Murwillumbah, and mapped by the community that uses it. Winner, Business NSW Regen Connection Accelerator. As featured on ABC, NBN News and 7NEWS.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: uForage at 75% against Mixology's 7%. uForage also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 17). Mixology's advantage is rating (3.9 vs 2.8) and ratings volume (367 vs 6). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mixology holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mixology has 367 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 7% of Mixology's written reviews are positive against 75% of uForage's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mixology ships an update fortnightly, uForage every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
