User Reviews

Users broadly praise Boycat for being easy to use, with quick barcode checks and the ability to identify and avoid boycott targets, while offering alternatives and a broad product database. Recurring drawbacks include reliability issues (bugs, scanning glitches, search errors) and sign-up/login friction (VPN requirement, gatekeeping). Additional concerns center on accuracy/transparency of ethical labeling and some politically charged feedback. Overall it’s a helpful ethical-shopping tool, but reliability and transparency improvements are needed.

Recent reviews

This app is heavily skewed in support of actual terrorism. Shame on the creators and their push towards Islam.

fantastic initiative that I have found extremely useful. but unfortunately the app keeps getting more bloated and difficult to use. I would suggest the landing page be reverted to a simple search/scan for a brand, and a response on whether or not it is boycott for Palestine. all the other functionality should be at least one or two clicks away. thanks for all your efforts on the app
