Buycott - Barcode Scanner & QR Bar Code Scanner

The app has huge potential to positively affect consumers and behaviours of businesses but it still has a few issues. Based in South Korea hardly anything comes up in the scan so it needs to vastly improve its international focus. Also id like to see what campaigns im involved with (a user summary). Also when browsing campaign id like to see the numbers of people signed up rather than having to click into each and every one. That part of the menu needs a revamp. Unpopular campaigns shouldnt clog up the list. Great app overall. Hope to see improvements made though.

Doesn’t even support my entire phones screen. Wouldn’t let me sign in and doesn’t even have rankings on how ethical or unethical a product is. Don’t buy

Please refund me your app is totally busted.

if i can’t sign up, I can’t utilize the app, and there’s no clear area in the app or the app store to ask for support. ill update my review if I get help

Love it. Super informative

I love this app! It has more features than I even imagined would be possible when I downloaded it. It allows you to follow campaigns, scan the barcode or search an item, and see if the product conflicts with any campaigns you follow/support. You can even see the family tree breakdown of parent companies. And they have everything on here man- even pet food and pet products, clothes, everything. I also love that they provide sources on things- if you see the product you use conflicts with free Palestine or animal testing, it provides a link to a source that proves that is the case. Overall a really amazing app, easy to navigate and use, and so useful. I’ve recommended it to everyone in my life since I downloaded. The two dollars one time is well worth being so easily informed!

Overall I think the app work okay. Of course as other people have mentioned, it can be very buggy and difficult to use at times. It can be a bit anxiety inducing when you’re standing in a busy aisle at the store waiting for it to load. But I really love the variety of campaigns you can sign up for and there’s a lot of important and useful information under the bigger campaigns. That being said i’ve noticed sometimes campaigns don’t take into account parent companies since so many companies are owned by just a few so sometimes I end up having to double check.

Title

In a few months of regular use, I’ve found several products on here mislabeled or attributed falsely. I sent corrections and there've been no updates or responses. If you’re hard core serious about avoiding sinister corporate actors who don’t mirror your values, this app falls short.

FYI before you buy, know that it’s obviously politically biased in one direction.
