User Reviews

Database is small and the information they offer is just simple. Focuses on salt sugar and fat when I was looking for bad chemicals in food.

Could be useful if its database were larger. I’ve tried to send info for unrecognized foods but after taking all four required photos, I’m always told to “try again.” Developers, try again!
