## Review summary

Users say Scan Halal is useful and easy to use for checking halal status, with some noting an expanded product catalog. However, multiple reviews flag significant drawbacks: mandatory login and location sharing, privacy concerns, a limited product database with many items not present or not recognized, and frequent loading or performance issues. Overall sentiment is mixed: it's helpful when it works, but reliability and data coverage are ongoing issues.

### Pros

- Very helpful and easy to use for quickly determining if products are halal.
- Catalog has expanded recently, offering more products than before.
- Valuable for Muslims living in non-Muslim-majority countries to check halal status quickly.

### Cons

- Forced login and mandatory location sharing with no skip option; privacy concerns.
- Limited product database; many items are not in the system and scanning often fails to identify products.
- App performance issues with loading screens or freezes.
- Perceived data issues or lack of official certification affecting trust.
