Trash Panda Food Scanner

While the app does give you quality information, they require you to purchase a subscription monthly or yearly which in turn requires you to create an account. They pitch it as being beneficial to you, but also requires you to agree to their terms that allow them to share your information to undisclosed third parties! This is not safe for the user and only protects the developer and the company/companies operating the app and software while also giving them full freedom to use your information in anyway they see fit. They are scamming you into giving them your financial account information, locking you into payment agreements and charging you to give them permission to use, sale and give away your information. Read and understand what you pay for on theses apps. The company needs to do better for the users!

It’s a great app, it scans everything u would need to know what is in your food. However I dislike the limited amount of scans as it is a faster way to scan to review ingredients. If u can make this 100 percent free I’ll help update ur database and refer this app to millions of people by spreading word which increases downloads then increases popularity, then so on and so on. Plz make unlimited number of scans! I love the app!

I don’t understand why the app asks for permissions like updating my user metadata and allowing offline access. These seem unnecessary and could be a privacy risk.

The app doesn’t load and not working anymore!!

NO LONGER FREE. Typical greedy app developer behavior. They release the app that scans free then update it after gains lots of popularity and changed to a paid business model. GREED RUINS EVERYTHING.

And I was recommending this app widely. Today I could not take a picture of the ingredients even though I had five uses left for this month. I guess the upside is I’m about to free up a little storage space on my phone. It was a great app though! Maybe someone else will make a free one and make money off advertising instead of devoted users.

I heard about Trash Panda a while back. It was free to download and free to use. You use your phone to scan the barcode on any food item. Trash Panda would automatically tell you what’s not good in the ingredients. They would also list the ingredients that were questionable. Then Trash Panda would list all the ingredients and give you an explanation why this or that was listed as bad or toxic for the body. Trash Panda is a very helpful tool if you are trying to eat cleaner. And, to be more informed what certain chemicals can do to your body. I was very happy using it until yesterday. I had 2 scans left before I received a message saying you had to now pay $40.00 a year to use the app. I know that sounds like so little to pay for such a great tool. I was just surprised because when I first downloaded the Trash Panda app, there was nothing I saw that told me I only had X amount of scans before I had to pay. I realize everything has gone up in price. I just wanted everyone to know the app is not free anymore. I do recommend using Trash Panda. It helps you learn to read labels and keep the toxic chemicals out of your body. Trash Panda is very helpful and I recommend using it. Just remember, it’s not free to use any longer.

They were first free with unlimited scans a few months back now only 5 a month !?!? Ridiculous

Before the app really took off it was completely free in every kind of way I don’t care for all the extras but required to pay for more scans is ridiculous shame on you for turning something very good into a money making scheme as always.

I really liked this app when you could scan as much as you wanted. But only 5 free scans a month is nothing. Healthy food is already so much more expensive to budget for and now they want $40 a year to use this?!??
