User Reviews

Users say the Gluten Free Scanner is helpful in stores for finding gluten-free options and avoiding cross-contamination, and it is fast and easy to use. However, many reviews cite persistent connectivity and reliability problems, no internet errors that block use offline or after updates. The database coverage is incomplete, with many products not found. Some feel the paid upgrade is not worth it or adds little value. Occasional UI glitches, like the screen going black when scanning, are also reported.

Recurring 'no internet connection' errors that block use, even on Wi-Fi.
Incomplete database; many products are not found when scanned.
App reliability issues like stopping work after updates and poor support.
Paid upgrade is not worth it or adds little value.
Occasional UI glitches, such as the screen going black when scanning.

Recent reviews

I’ve used this app for years to check ingredients for gluten. My sister has celiac disease, so keeping her safe is important, and this was my go-to when shopping because it was quick and easy. Unfortunately, a recent update capped free scans to just a couple a month. Because I scan multiple items every trip, the free version is no longer practical. I understand developers need to make a profit, but the new restriction is a major hurdle.
