User Reviews

Users praise Spoonful for real-time food scanning and diet-management support, including useful swaps and store filters for restricted diets. However, recurring issues undermine value: a paid model with hidden charges, frequent stability problems (freezes and crashes), concerns about data accuracy and vetting, login/billing problems, and incomplete search results. Overall, strong potential for dietary management exists, but reliability and pricing hinder broad adoption.

Pros

Real-time scanning to assess dietary suitability (e.g., low FODMAP, gluten-free) and analysis for added items
Helpful for managing elimination diets and reducing shopping-related worry
Offers swaps and store filters to help find safer products (including UK supermarkets)
Positive tool for dietary-restriction management and diet adherence

Cons

Frequent freezing/crashes and overall instability that render the app unusable
Costly subscription with hidden charges and limited trial scans
Questions about data accuracy and lack of clear health-expert vetting; crowd-sourced results
Login/account problems and unexpected charges/logins failing
Unreliable search results and missing or mislabelled items

Recent reviews

Fantastic app (in theory!)...great features and would have really made my life so much easier...if it actually worked! I installed the app on a 7 day free trial (thankfully!)...it worked for the first day, then just stopped working! Scanner picked up bar codes, but just brought up a blank white screen for every item...when I tried entering products - despite following all instructions to the letter - every single item came up with a message saying it 'didn't look right'. Very disappointing.

It worked great enough to pay for a subscription, now it doesn't go past the loading screen you get on before getting to the main page. The suggestions received to fix it did nothing and I haven't heard back since, it's rather a disappointment that I still have the annual subscription now. Going to have to cancel it for long-term unresolved technical issues.

This app has been a life saver! My husband decided to develop food allergies as his mid life crisis. Multiple food elimination diets ensued and this app saved us more than once from surprise ingredients. I cannot give this enough stars, or express how helpful this app has been. So thankful I found it. Worth every penny for the subscription
