User Reviews

User reviews mainly criticize Vegan Pocket for billing problems (unexpected charges, hard-to-cancel subscriptions), a nonfunctional scanner, and a lack of practical vegan information. The crowd-sourced approach that asks users to vote on vegan status adds confusion rather than clarity, with many items lacking vegan data. While some mention a few recipes and potential value, the app is generally viewed as unreliable and expensive.

Pros

Limited vegan recipes available (some users note a few recipes).
Concept of crowd-sourced vegan status could be useful in theory if improved.
Barcode scanning feature is the intended use of the app (present in the product design).

Cons

Recurring billing with unclear free trial and difficult cancellation; users report being charged after a short trial or without clear notifications.
Barcode scanner often fails or spins indefinitely, yielding no results.
App provides little to no vegan information; the database is limited and rarely helpful.
Users are asked to vote on whether an item is vegan instead of delivering clear, authoritative results.
Poor customer support and difficulty obtaining refunds or contacting developers.

Recent reviews

Total scam of an app like others have said. No idea how this has any stars. Avoid.

App doesn’t work properly. It doesn’t tell you if the food is vegan. you scan it, and then it asks you “what do you think?” and you hit yes or no. I’ve scanned several items and that’s all it does. Complete waste of money. I should’ve known better when an app doesn’t give you a seven day free trial.
