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

2024-12-22	Na*****	Scanned several items and added them to my list. Had to continually return to the home page to scan another item as scanner wouldn't reopen. The last item I scanned wouldn't let me add the name of the product. When I checked back at my history and list it had only saved 1 item. App deleted as it won't do what it's advertised to do.

2024-11-27	To*****	Update - they took the feedback on board and it works again, I am so happy to have it back, well done guys for fixing it and keep up the good work :) Unfortunately worked great at first, but now doesn't recognised any barcode at all so just unusable 'hope they can fix it as great when it worked

2024-11-24	He*****	Our family has been struggling with obesity, anxiety, ADHD and other health problems. I decided to start researching processed foods and quickly became overwhelmed with the number of ingredients/chemicals. This app is going to be a game changer! I downloaded it last night, and this morning, I am going through my kitchen scanning everything....it's scary to learn what I've been feeding my family and could potentially be a source of some of our problems!!
