The Celiac App

This app automatically signed me up for premium and started charging me 6.99 a month. Garbage

The app's major shortcoming lies in its approach to recommending restaurants for people with celiac disease. Including fast-food chains like Chipotle, Wendy's, and Five Guys is misleading and, frankly, an insult to those who require stringent gluten-free environments. These establishments, while popular, are notorious for their high risk of cross contamination, which can have severe health consequences for individuals with celiac disease. Cross contamination is not a minor issue; it's a matter of serious health concern. The casual manner in which this app addresses it is alarming. The recommendations seem to disregard the fundamental needs of its target audience, thereby providing dangerously inaccurate information. They should be educated as to why they should be avoided, and all the things that can and do go wrong trying to order fast food as a celiac at these establishments. I had hoped this app would be a beacon of support, guiding users to safe dining experiences. Instead, it feels like a misguided attempt that trivializes the seriousness of celiac disease. It's imperative for the developers to understand that when it comes to health, accuracy and safety cannot be compromised. Revising the restaurant recommendations to include truly gluten-free establishments is crucial. Instead of promoting fast food places you should be exposing the false hope they give to new celiacs trying to navigate their disease. Asking restaurant employees for a gluten free bun or just changing their gloves does not make you safe. In its current form, I cannot recommend this app to others in the celiac community. I urge the developers to take this feedback seriously and make significant changes. Accurate information and safe dining options are not just preferences; they are necessities. Five Guys, Wendy’s, and Chipotle, amongst many others come with severe risks and promoting them in any way other than that is a danger to the community.

This is by far the best app for anyone with celiac. So convenient and helpful to have all of this information at our fingertips. This app has given me peace of mind while empowering me to make safer choices. Thank you!

This app helps me on so many levels. I literally feel like I have the Celiac Space team in my pocket. There is so much information that is so beneficial to the newly diagnosed. This app is an absolute must have.

I am inspired to be more adventurous in dining out with the knowledge I receive from The Celiac App. What I really like about the App is the Dining Guide. It consist of content such as principles of dining out, tips for ordering and what food or condiments to be aware of in certain cuisines. Thank you for allowing me to embrace and navigate my social life with less restrictions.

This app has been a game changer for me. I refer to the app weekly whether I’m looking up a product or out to eat at a restaurant. So helpful!

Diagnosed three years ago, and while I can find the information I need it is so convenient to have it all in one place! I highly recommend this app for anyone with celiac or gluten sensitivities.

This is by far the best app for navigating the lifestyle change of a new Celiac diagnosis.

So thankful I found this app when I was newly diagnosed with Celiac. From tips to having a shared kitchen to medication to eating out, it’s helped me not feel fearful but empowered! One of the first apps I’ve ever paid for the premium subscription.

I felt lost when my son was first diagnosed with celiac. This app has truly been an amazingly helpful resource for our family. It’s thorough and well thought out. So, it’s super user friendly. I highly recommend it for anyone with celiac.
