Ratings and reviews

Honestly. It's a great app! I think the only issue that makes it less easy to use is that it doesn't seem to recognize certain barcodes. Although with deep search I can find it on the app. I don't know if the barcodes are different from Country to another but it could be interesting to look into that. It would help make the experience easier for everyone.

good but needs some improvement. I noticed there is no way to filter. please add filter options on reviews, rating, etc. also I noticed that many of the products I scanned are not in the database.. they should work o adding more...make a trip to natural sections of grocery stores and scan away..overall great and I will continue to use it and add to the database as i think this information is so important!!

this app is amazing for helping me sort thru what products are safe and clean. However Im in Canada and most of the clean recommended/alternative products are difficult to get. The shipping ends up costing the same as the product and defeats the purpose. Not the most econmical. Would be great if there was an option in settings where you could selecr your country and it filtered the products. Otherwise a very useful app!
