Apr 19, 2021 I love and hate this app! It's easy to navigate, and to scan. BUT, is freezing quite often and the main problem, my phone goes hot like crazy and my battery drains quickly... so pitty:( -
Helpful
Apr 7, 2020 This app is really great, however, about half of the products that I scan don’t show up and I have to submit photos of the item to be reviewed. I also wish there was a nut allergy setting, so that I could be alerted if a product had nuts in them. The FDA requires companies to specifically state what nuts are in food products, but it’s harder to tell with certain skincare products, so having this feature would be extremely helpful. Otherwise it’s an extremely helpful app that I would recommend. more -
Useful app
Mar 5, 2019 I love the idea of this app. As someone who has lupus I think it’s very useful and informative. I really hope database will grow rapidly in the future. Keep up with good work and thanks! -
Feb 18, 2021 Not sure what happened recently, but app is super slow in giving you results of the scans. Kind of annoying when you out and want to know more about the products while in the shop. Other than that it's useful. -
Great product.
Apr 26, 2019 I like using this app which helps me to learn what products do I use and what shouldn’t. But there is a little discourage for this app. When I scan an item the app freezes sometimes and doesn’t respond so I just have to close it and go back again doing all scans again. I wonder why... more -
Mar 24, 2021 I really like this app, it's very practical and it reads the QR code really quickly! It also helps me with shopping because I pay more attention to organic or natural products. -
My food animal diet checker.
Oct 4, 2018 I love going here knowing I can trust this app. I needed a trustworthy app to help me know non-animal and cruelty free on my foods and drinks. Thank you. Love, Olivia💙 -
Apr 4, 2021 I love this app. It has helped me make some very positive and informed decisions about what I put in my body. But....let's take it further. Let's start talking about the packaging of the products. This would make the app invaluable for the future. more -
Great Reference
Nov 3, 2018 I’m enjoying the app. Lots of products and great information. My favorite feature is that the app will show if a product is not allowed to be sold in the EU.

Apr 27, 2021 Rubbish. Loaded with advertising. Other apps also have advertising for their free versions. But this free version is hardly usable - apps everywhere. Desperate programmers, it seems. -
Bitte bitte arbeitet an der Englisch-Integrierung
May 26, 2019 Seit der Englisch-Integrierung kann ich nichts mehr auf Deutsch lesen. Schade! Fand viele Artikel toll, die auf Englisch sind alte Artikel. Hoffentlich kann ich beim nächsten Update wie gewohnt die App nutzen... Please, please update articles and bring in more products. I have had this app for years in Germany and never had trouble finding drug store products, but ever since this app got changed into this English version, it’s not nearly as good as it was before. And even over the past 3 years nothing has changed... it’s rather disappointing. I have submitted some products and they are nowhere to be found. more -
Mar 27, 2021 Don't waste your money. Google play won't reimburse or let me cancel my subscription. This new and updated scanner had nothing in the system. And it only lets me enter information on new cosmetics and not food. Much worse than the previous version and a total waste of funds. more -
Jan 22, 2021 I used to be able to look up products online, why doesn't that work anymore? At least make sure the app works, even though it would be better if you make both ways to look products up usable again, just saying. Update: So I tried scanning an edible product and get told they concentrate on cosmetics now. "Don't worry, we'll get to edibles soon.." How is it that this thing it getting worse and worse while claiming, they've improved it?? more -
Feb 21, 2021 Recently the search option for searching for a product with a brand name doesn't load anything at all despite me having a secure internet connection. Ill update this review if it ever works again. -
Dec 23, 2020 The idea is very good. The amount of ads in the free version is so high that makes the app not useful whenever your Internet connection is not good. This is unfortunately the case in the big shops. It simply means that I cannot use it when I need it the most. There is no purchase option but only subscription which for me makes no sense. more -
Jan 15, 2021 Not working at all. I scanned multiple Items but nothing showed up and the only thing you get are advertisements. I tried to log in but the app crashes when I logged in with my Google account and confirmation E mails didn't come through. Complete trash more -
Feb 3, 2021 No easy way to modify the product ingredients. For example if the producer enters no information or wrong information then the user is forced to enter all the ingredients manually, whereas for a new product the app would let you scan the product, take a photo of the ingredients and recognize them and add them to the product more -
Jan 14, 2021 Very unintuitive and unpractical UI, where ads and distractions look more important than the actual functionality. Missing "loading" or "cancelling" pop-ups, so you never know if it's working or crashed. -
Not working
Mar 27, 2021 It used ti be great, but for the last week or so it hasn't been working at all. Not even getting the pro version. :( I can't even send feedback through the app.

May 22, 2019 Very good app. However I would prefer if the ads were soundless and did not stop audio playback. -
App very well, history & list of alternatives missing
Dec 19, 2012 The App is well designed and very useful! But unfortunately two main functions were missing. The history of scanned products & alternatives of the selected product. -
Great product
Jul 27, 2017 This is what I have been looking for. Will explore more features and add comments -
Nicht schlecht
May 24, 2015 Keine schlechte App, allerdings nicht sonderlich vertrauenswürdig da jeder die Infos der Produkte bearbeiten kann. Aber als schnellcheck ungewisser Inhaltsstoffe im Supermarkt potentiell nützlich.

May 5, 2018 Good concept but very buggy lately, shuts down after the first scan. -
Microplastic
Aug 23, 2019 How about you start tracking the microplastic content of products -
It’s ok
Jul 27, 2018 I would love it so much more if a peanut allergy was an option. We have gluten, peanut, and lactose allergies in our house. -
Recension
Mar 17, 2016 Hi guys, first of all I love your app, it helpes me a lot in choosing which products to buy. The reason why I've given it only 3 stars is because a lot of products that are on the European market are just not in your database - that could be improved. Another improvement that could be very useful is if we could search the mere ingredients in the app, just like we can search cosmetics, food, childrens toys. It would be great if we could check the ingredient itself, weather if it's "empfehlenswert" or not. Overall, a great idea, very useful app, and hopefuly it's going to get ever better. more

confusing
May 12, 2020 maybe because i’m new to the app buy so far i’m very confused by it, it’s not telling me if it’s vegetarian or not. it just has and green and red circle at the top.

What products CAN I check??
Oct 1, 2020 Really?! It’s like everything I can “cannot be found”! That’s pretty much it! A app wasting data space on my phone! Not anymore! ✌️
What’s Groovy
I am so in love with this app!! It has opened up a whole new world for me and made me aware of the harmful ingredients in our everyday products....I’m now on a mission to become as natural as possible. Beware though because once you start using this app you will possess The Knowing, so be ready for it.

What’s Subpar
Page is plastered with ads, among others to join them on Instagram. 3 times on the same page is just excessive. Page jumps as ads are loaded, making you miss what you wanted to click on. Lacks more detail on ingredients.
