User Reviews
Pros
- Barcode scanning to verify ingredient contents
- Educational value: clear information about chemicals in products and water, with features to identify ingredients to avoid
- Ability to save and organize lists, create an account, and add items not found in the database
- Positive updates and improved UI/ features (clean layout, new ingredient-avoid feature)
Cons
- Frequent sign-in and password issues (Google Play sign-in problems) that prevent access
- Loss of saved lists/history after updates or on sign-in, data persistence problems
- Limited barcode coverage and scanner/database gaps (many items not recognized)
- App stability/compatibility problems on some devices or startup crashes (stuck on intro, 3-screen flow, not compatible)

In my honest opinion. I downloaded this app thinking it would show better alternatives in every area and suggestions. But comparing it to Yuka and Bobby Approved apps. I think its "ok" but not definitely not the best. I will continue to follow the EWG page on social media. I do see why the rating is low and it definitely needs restructured. For now I will delete it as its not worth downloading and taking up data.
