## NHS Food Scanner Description
This is the latest edition of the Food Scanner app and is an opportunity for you to try out our new features within the application whilst we still build to improve the functionality over the following months.

Ever wondered how much sugar is in your fave cola or salt is in your sauce? Find out with the Food Scanner app!
Food Scanner is here to help you and your family make healthier food and drink choices.

It's time to get scanning! Just find a food or drink barcode to quickly see what's inside. You might be surprised by what you find!
Search 'Change4Life' to discover a whole range of ideas to help keep your family healthy and happy.

We are using Augmented Reality within the app that brings to life what’s inside your food and drink right in front of your eyes! There are certain limitations depending on what device you have and if your device supports ARCore. If it doesn’t not to worry we will show you a 3D scenario instead so you won’t miss out on all the fun. 
The app is based on the most widespread data available to us. We're continuously working to improve it and we're adding more and more products all the time. 
The nutrient data in this app is supplied by Brand Bank and Food Switch. 
The number of sugar cubes, sat fat and salt sachets shown in app are based on grams per pack/100g/ml/portion when that information is available. 

The weight of one sugar cube is equal to 4 grams
The weight on one sat fat lump is equal to 1 gram
The weight of one salt sachet is equal to 0.5 grams

### ***** "Great App"
So easy to use and very helpful
-- Nana J #76, 2024-11-10

### ***** "Food health sorted!"
This App has been a food revelation; fun and very easy to use.  Its quick to scan barcodes and helps at home to identify the good and not so good, saving swops for better health alternative food items.  I can quickly find them on my saved list when shopping.  It also has fun little cartoons to celebrate the good choices so, overall, a positive, very useful enjoyable App.

### ***** "Great"
A great way to become healthier
-- 3funsun4, 2024-10-15

### ***** "Why I love this app"
Because the only way thing I is if to get a new phone number I will call you back in the next hour or so and then I will text call you back and let me see what you want me and I’ll call you back later on today and I’ll see what you have. 

Another reason why I absolutely love this all is because it’s help me loose weight and gain knowledge about certain foods. Also this app is very fun and I enjoy
-- yryryryrynfjnv, 2024-10-11

### ***** "Loving it!"
I only just downloaded the app and have immediately discovered it’s amazing use.
It helps me to understand what foods are more reliable for a ‘healthy’ breakfast dinner or lunch! It’s helping me to understand that not all foods we consume are good for our diet.
I highly recommend this to anyone and I mean anyone.
-- Prefer to remain annonymus, 2024-10-07

### ***** "Great"
Love it
-- Potty Patsy, 2024-10-05

### ***** "What a help!"
Just returned from the doctors having been advised to lose some weight. Don’t want to do heavy restrictions this time of the year so opted for food changed this is a real asset. Not only info on food but helpful alternatives.
-- bpioveyou, 2024-10-02

### ***-- "Educational"
Help understand a good bit more than if you did not have the app ! Not sure if it’s helpful or not but I use it and it gives you information so that’s a bonus
-- enoughnomore50, 2024-09-25

### ****- "Healthy"
This app is great for finding the salt, sugar and fat content of products. Pity that so many are not on the data base and it doesn’t tell you how to add them! Just says try again but nothing happens! More products need to be on the data base . Otherwise a very useful tool to have
-- Senzagas, 2024-09-22

### ***** "Food Scanner"
Find it very helpful to know how much sugar is in everything
-- Sugar intake, 2024-09-19

### ***** "Fantastic"
I am on way to healthier eating
-- sister Lolly, 2024-09-17

### ***-- "Useful now fixed"
Neat app now it connects
-- bassadams, 2024-09-03

### ****- "Fixed and working fine"
After submitting a 1 star review and contacting the developer, pleased to say that they have fixed the 'no Internet connection' issue and the app is working fine. Some of the recommended swaps are a bit odd but maybe I'll go check them out, but on the whole an interesting app.
-- DE@Home, 2024-08-31

### *---- "Not scanning"
It appears that this app is having problems with apple says there are connection problems on both iPhone & iPad v
-- Rubbish fog, 2024-08-29

### *---- "Absolute crap"
Doesn’t even scan popular items like pepsi. Cannot get it to scan anything with responding “no internet connection”.
Worse than useless.
Less than one star.
-- dhyvjgfjj, 2024-08-24

### *---- "Broken?"
The app repeatedly fails with ‘ No Internet Connection’ ,  gets as far as requesting a barcode, and then fails when a barcode is scanned.  Is this app still supported?
-- DE@Home, 2024-08-23

### *---- "No internet connection error"
Since I’ve updated the app it no longer works and says no internet connect when scanning barcodes. I know there is no issue my side. Please fix. Thanks
-- emmskelv, 2024-08-23

### *---- "Does not work"
Always says same thing ‘we having some issues right now ‘ frustrating as hell
-- Mansell4494, 2024-08-21
