Review summary

Veebs is an Android app aimed at values-based product scanning and rating with a reasonable subscription fee. While users praise the concept and scanning capabilities for many products, common issues include frequent crashes, incomplete product database, paywall limiting access, clunky navigation, and invasive account setup. Users hope ongoing updates and larger user base will improve functionality and data quality.

Pros

App has a great concept focused on values-based shopping and product ratings.
Most users find the monthly subscription fee of $0.99 reasonable and worth supporting the mission.
The app can scan many products and return results, with a functional scanning system for many items.
Some users have had no issues signing up and find the app useful for discovering product information related to personal values.
Developers are expected to improve the app over time with increased user base and funding.

Cons

App frequently crashes or fails to open, especially on certain devices like the Galaxy S10.
The product database is incomplete, with many scanned items missing or not found.
Many features and detailed product scores are locked behind a subscription paywall, limiting usability before paying.
The user interface is clunky and unintuitive, with poor navigation such as back button exiting the app unexpectedly.
Account creation requests invasive personal information like phone number and zip code upfront, which users dislike.
There are numerous bugs including inconsistent product scoring and app freezes or long loading times.

2024-09-16	as*****	Downloaded app after hearing about it on Patriot radio show. App will not open, un-installed and reinstalled. Still won't open. Using a Galaxy S10 phone. Hopefully, this issue gets fixed, will try downloading again at a later date

2024-09-05	Sc*****	Don't know what's wrong, I was looking forward to trying it out, even pay for it. It installed but basically blue screens and closes immediately. Tried installing it twice to the same result, reset my phone, nothing doing. Wish it worked!

2024-08-26	so*****	Works well. Ignore Google bots attacking it. And for those complaining about cost, it's $1 a month! How cheap are you? They've made a great app and it will continue to improve every day

2024-07-28	Cu*****	Works fine. Needs time. Most name brand stuff scans and gives a rating. Items ARE limited but what do you expect when there's simply a lot of STUFF in the world. I think it's worth it. A dollar a month? That's cheap for a noble cause. Don't be a fool. Vote with your dollar.

2024-04-11	Jo*****	I feel like some of the poor reviews may be from bots or review bombers because this app is fantastic. I went around my kitchen and scanned tons of random junk and it populated results for about 90% of my items. It has a clear system in place that let's you shop for various products from different brands and stores based on your values-an absolutely genius idea, especially in this current climate. 10/10 highly recommended.

2023-10-29	Vi*****	This app is total garbage and scam. It has so many bugs. I was subscribed and at some point app stopped recognizing my account. I was getting offers to subscribe within app (even though my subscription was already active and they kept charging me. Last bill was just today) DO NOT use it, it's a waste of money and time.

2023-09-18	Mi*****	Strange UI. Database just gives a score, but doesn't explain why. Tries to be all things to all people instead of picking a side and staying with it. Account setup is invasive. Name, phone, zio code, etc .. all before I see if it can do what I want, which it didn't.

2023-08-13	Mi*****	If scanning included nutritional data it would be much more useful. Values need to be expanded upon, its much too shallow. Would be willing to pay if I got notifications or a map that showed nearby stores that were aligned with my values. Good try though.

2023-08-03	Aa*****	Great idea, app needs some serious work. It's clunky, has all sorts of bugs, poor naming choices for menu items, on the back button constantly tries to exit the app and display a pop-up asking if you want to exit. Hopefully with more and more people signing up for it, they will get the funding they need to hire better developers.

2023-08-01	Ji*****	Still very new so the brand database isn't as complete as it could be. I was surprised that J&J wasn't found in the company list for my q-tips. But it did find most items and it was surprising just how many low value rated items are in my kitchen, pantry, and cleaning closets. A couple of times items with a high score of 79 were listed as poor, so some bugs still need to be worked out. I'll stick with the app subscription for a bit and hopefully it will improve with user submissions.
