Review summary

Users appreciate the app's concept, ease of use, and informative ingredient safety descriptions supported by credible sources. The contribution feature also encourages user engagement. However, several users report significant technical issues such as freezing and failure to open the app, a limited and inconsistent product database, and usability problems including unresponsive buttons and buggy profile editing. Improving app stability, expanding the ingredient database, and refining the user interface would greatly enhance user experience.

Pros

Easy to use and conceptually appealing
Provides detailed descriptions of ingredients and their potential toxic effects
Contains a legitimate and well-cited database according to a medical science researcher
Helps check product safety effectively
Has a contribution system rewarding users for adding new products

Cons

App frequently fails to open or freezes on startup
Limited and small database causing difficulty in finding products
User interface issues, including unresponsiveness and confusing search results
Bugs affecting profile editing and navigation causing app to close unexpectedly
Clunky barcode scanning feature requiring excessive input information

2021-12-28	Re*****	Very useful and just what I was looking for, a bit too many options like I'm cool with just 1 app for scanning and ingredient and another app for the other features. Marketing law of line extension. The scan barcode option is a bit clunky because you need to put in so much info when some items its not available. Other than that, amazing idea and in glad you produced this

2020-10-17	Am*****	My new ingredients check to-go app. I was a long time Codecheck user up until they took down the site. Since then I've tried out plenty of ingredient checking apps and I think this one's the best one out there. You can enter your own products, keep an inventory of what you have and the ingredient warnings are legitimate. I'm a medical science researcher and I have to agree that this platform does a great job with their literature citations and warning claims. Just give it a try!
