## Review summary

Users frequently report the app crashing on startup and poor scanning accuracy, often failing to detect products labeled as SmartLabel enabled. The loud beep during scanning is a common annoyance, especially as it ignores sound settings. While the app can provide nutritional info and ingredient explanations when it works, many find the inventory limited and the scanned info limited to generic company webpages. Despite these issues, some users appreciate the app's intended function and the ability to save food information.

### Pros

- Provides nutritional information about products when it works.
- Includes explanations for ingredients in products.
- Offers links to product or company websites.
- Allows saving foods for future reference.
- App performs its basic job adequately when functional.

### Cons

- App crashes immediately on startup or when scanning, making it unusable for many users.
- Scanner often fails to recognize products claiming to be SmartLabel enabled, showing 'not a SmartLabel product'.
- Loud and annoying beep sound when scanning, which ignores phone sound settings.
- Limited product inventory; many common or major brand variations are not recognized.
- Navigating scanned results often just opens manufacturer's homepage rather than specific product info.
