Take control of what you eat today.

Food additives may have revolutionized the mass production of the food that we consume, but at what cost to your health?

This application lets you quickly & easily access the general information of up to 450+ food additives (self contained database, so no internet connection needed!) PLEASE NOTE: This free version has only 50 additives, so you can see what it is like before committing to buying the full version via an in-app purchase.

Take this quick guide with you next time you visit the supermarket, check product packaging for additives & find them fast to help understand their potential effects.

Not all food additives are bad for your health, but a large percentage have been associated with a whole range of potential health risks & side effects, that include:

Virtually Useless in free mode - no results

PLOTH on

As someone who purchased the first version of this app, I was hopeful that the new version would be as useful. After typing in 5 numbers, each time the result was “No results” Not sure if this is just because the ones I typed in were part of the paid version or if the app just didn’t have the numbers. Either way, it makes the app useless.

Too sneaky

MsEllie11 on

Shows as being a free download, but once downloaded you are invited to upgrade for $2,99. Only a small number of additives are available on the free version. 450 more available on the paid version. I probably would have paid if it wasn’t done in such a sneaky way!

App closes on opening

Teggs82 on

Gfeatures on

Best App

Acova54 on

When I first purchased this app it was easy 5 stars But now it just doesn't even open!!!!! Waste of time & space

Can't open app

Charmed23 on

Same here. Can't open the app. Flashes on screen and disappears.

Not as good as expected

1oldtimer on

Lists less than 20% of recognised food additives... Superficial! Don"t like the sneaky way they grab at your wallet. Lists less than 80 additives, You have you pay $4.49 for the 450+

Colour my world

BJ Turner on

Nice free app. Worth to pay for the full version suggest a search function to fully establish it 4* plus status

PLUS is less than full version

Reviewer at the End of the Universe on

WARNING: There is an in-app Buy button rather dangerously placed in the same location as the back button, so be careful or you'll accidentally buy the full version. Not sure what the PLUS means, but this is actually what other developers would call a LITE version of the regular app. Included information is limited to 50 random additives with several browse choices but no search. This app might be ok for casual reading but is too tedious for looking up information on labels. Also, please move the Buy button somewhere less obtrusive .. wouldn't rate higher than one star due to deceptive placement.
