User Reviews

Users value the app for scanning products to verify ingredients, learning about chemicals, and saving lists. However, recurring problems include sign-in and data-loss issues, limited barcode/database coverage, and device compatibility/startup crashes, which hinder reliability and consistent use.

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)

Recent reviews

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.
