Ratings and reviews

It's a great app and very helpful. My only issue is that I can only use it in guest mode because when I try to make an account, the captcha (I think that's how you spell it?) doesn't cooperate with my phone. I try to slide the thing into place but it doesn't respond to touch no matter what I do, and it wont let me refresh or skip to a new one.

It's great if you want to make a difference and avoid spending money on genocidal and unethical companies. It sometimes doesn't work when I'm in shops with not so good Internet coverage though, this could be improved.

I've used this app on numerous occasions (even my fiancé started using it) and it has helped me shop more consciously. Unfortunately, I'm unable to save changes to my profile in settings on Android! The "Save Changes" button is right where my notification bar is. 😭 It's not that big of a deal, but I wanted to let y'all know!
