Useless when free alternatives exist

This app is worse than trash. It does a terrible job of evaluating the healthiness of food items. Its (presumably AI-based) aggregation of scientific literature does not properly evaluate reported food risks. Furthermore, it asks for an email address to begin using the app. The email address I provided immediately began receiving all kinds of spam from websites and mailing lists I’d never signed up for. This app should be banned. The creators of this app are terrible humans.
