Recent reviews

My granddaughter just told me about Yuka. She helped me add the app last night, so it’s brand new to me. I have scanned a couple things, so I am excited to learn about such a useful tool to healthier products, especially food items. (I am 78.)

When you upload a barcode, they force their recommendations on your page. If you want to remove a recommendation? You have to delete your entire scan. Had to delete all of my scans so it didn't keep pushing the same garbage.
