Review summary

Users appreciate the app for being a handy, quick, and user-friendly tool to check food additive E numbers, especially useful for vegetarians, vegans, and those with food intolerances. It works offline and has non-intrusive ads. However, multiple users note issues with the accuracy of safety information on additives, unclear or missing color coding explanations, and insufficient detailed info on the origin of additives. Some suggest features like personalized profiles for better utility. Overall, the app is valued but requires enhancement in data accuracy and information detail.

Pros

Easy and quick to use for looking up E numbers.
Helpful for vegetarians and vegans to avoid certain additives.
Works offline, which is convenient.
Provides useful information for keeping healthy and avoiding food intolerances.
Ads are not intrusive and overall user-friendly.

Cons

Some inaccuracies in the safety information provided, e.g., certain additives like E621 and Aspartame are labeled safe but users disagree.
Color coding for toxicity is lacking or unclear, and users want better explanation of color meanings.
Insufficient detailed information about additives' sources and precise nature, which is a concern for people with allergies.
Lack of features such as user profiles to track which E numbers to avoid during scanning.

2024-10-12	Al*****	Great app! It is useful as a vegetarian (avoid e110 and e441) and it helps me choose healthier foods with less harmful additives. I'm a bit obsessed, but that's a good thing.

2023-12-27	Ro*****	Very helpful in avoiding additives to keep healthy. Just now I checked on the 3 artificial sweeteners in a cordial, E950, 952, & 955. They can all cause disease, especially E955, sucralose.
