## Review summary

Users praise the app as fast, simple and educational — especially for identifying ultra‑processed foods and improving choices. Repeated complaints focus on scanning failures, workflow bugs (scanner not reopening, freezes), database gaps with no easy way to add or report items, and occasional incorrect classifications or lost results. Overall promising and useful but needs stability and database contribution improvements.

### Pros

- Helps identify ultra‑processed foods and raises awareness about ingredients (educational)
- Simple, fast and easy to use for scanning and checking products
- Useful articles/education and AI assistance — users call it a game changer for food choices
- Contains many common supermarket products (covers a lot of pantry items)

### Cons

- Barcode scanner often fails or doesn’t recognize products (many report scanning doesn’t work)
- Scanning workflow bugs: scanner won’t reopen, must return to home, or app freezes when barcode not found
- Database gaps and no clear in‑app way to add or report missing/incorrect ingredients
- Unreliable classifications: some products are mislabelled (UPF vs non‑UPF) and items/saved results can be lost
