This app is very confusing.
I’m pretty frustrated. I just got notification that my card has been charged for a year subscription. I signed up for the week free trial, and in the process was assured I’d receive a notification before my card was charged so I could decide whether or not I wanted to cancel before being charged. Having checked all mailboxes including spam, I was not notified and payment has been taken. Foolish me for relying on that reminder. As for the app itself, the small amount I’ve used it has not been very helpful. I find the rating system confusing and the info no better than EWG’s Healthy Living. Now that I have this app for a year, I’ll keep trying it and if my opinion improves, I’ll change my review, but at this point, no better than Healthy Living which is free.
I’ve run across quite a few of our regular items that are not listed on the app. Maybe expand to include more regular grocery store items or even Costco.
Good stuff
Seems like a common product still waiting while analyzing over 9 minutes, why?
This is the first food scoring app I’ve used that isn’t completely alarmist and unscientific-ie leveling everything naturally as “good” and what’s publicly popular as “bad”, regardless of the scientific consensus ( see stevia and sucralose) It also condenses research in easy to read and understand paragraphs instead of quoting scientific jargon My biggest complaint is lack of inventory, I scanned 17 items in my kitchen with ZERO results before finally giving in and trying out the free trial. As a result It’s basically useless unless you payed and even then it’s more helpful for checking specific ingredients than a particular item.
When you go to sign up for the app, it asks “What’s important to you across ingredients” and the options are ‘ one’ ‘vegan’ ‘vegetarian’ ‘palm oil free’. I think there should be many other options in this area. For example, processed products, gluten, chemicals, seed oils, stuff like that. Also, when you go to click on ‘clean’ categories, it brings you to products that are rated horribly!!! how is that clean at all? with ingredients that say they are hazardous. The ‘clean’ category should include the highest rated products. At that, there’s not a big selection of stuff on here. I scanned some stuff from wholefoods and a bunch didn’t come up.
The company needs to keep expanding the list of food and vitamin related products as well as more dairy products.
You need the ability to free type allergens you do not list in your setup criteria. I am allergic to corn which has too many names to list here.
I wouldn’t mind using this app but like most developers that are in it for money, it’s not happening and shame on you all for wanting money just to get accurate information.
