Ratings and reviews

The app is fully working for me now, before it would freeze and would stay frozen even after closing the app, reinstalling... Anyways, it is fully accessible for me, and I am enjoying using it. Most products I buy regularly are good! So I've been adding as many as I can scan into the system! Thank you to the developers for creating this!

App works if the item is in the green zone, one it's something to stay away from, it displays a gray screen and crashes. I'm assuming someone is trying to disable the app from showing anything that needs to be "boycatted". I take it as don't buy once the app crashes. You can also go and look in the submissions and you will see the actual results of your scans, and that also confirmed to me that whatever crashed the app was red.

Definitely a helpful tool for starting research, but it is worth double-checking the alternatives offered. For example, Dunkin Donuts is not complaint and it suggested Illy coffee instead.... but then Illy is also not complaint either. Edit: The alternative brands has gotten less functional. I can only see the first 3 options and the ability to scroll is broken. Glad to see that a Congo campaign is coming soon, but please fix basic functions first!
