User Reviews

Users praise the app for scanner-based checks and easy product comparisons to support healthier shopping, including finding EWG Verified items. However, multiple reviews highlight major drawbacks: unreliable scanner performance and poor accuracy, outdated or incomplete product data, concerns about potential bias in the verification program due to licensing, and navigation/search limitations plus limited retailer coverage. Overall, the app is valuable but plagued by reliability and data issues that affect trust and usability.

Pros

Barcode scanner is a key feature used to quickly check products in-store.
Easy to scan, search, and add products; enables quick in-store comparisons.
App helps me shop for healthier options and highlights EWG Verified products.
Clear, accessible information on ingredients and ratings supports informed decisions.
Has made shopping for my family easier and encouraged healthier product swaps.

Cons

Scanner reliability issues: scanning often fails, is hard to focus, or triggers itself.
Data coverage is outdated or incomplete; many products haven’t been reviewed recently.
Perceived bias in the EWG Verified program due to licensing/fees.
Search/navigation UX problems after updates; grouping and limited per-item detail hampers finding specific products.
Limited retailer coverage and items from big stores (like Costco/Aldi) aren’t in the app.

If you really want to know what you are putting on or in your body, this is the app to use! Scores for each ingredient with Excellent details about them.

I am very thankful for this app. I can slowly start making “major” life changes.

The app is very helpful and a great resource! My only complaint is for personal care products it focuses heavily on men. It doesn’t even have label options for women’s hygiene, but rather has a category for deodorant and then a separate category for men’s deodorant?? The personal care product search was clearly created by men for men.
