About this app

CodeCheck is your personal shopping assistant when it comes to healthy and conscious consumption 🕵️‍-. Simply scan the barcode or EAN number of your food 🥗 or cosmetics 💄 and in just a few seconds you can find out whether the products are vegan, vegetarian or gluten- or lactose-free. Additionally, if they contain: palm oil, microbeads, nanoparticles, parabens, paraffins, too much sugar, etc.. CodeCheck also helps you, if you have an allergy to something. Now you can also customize CodeCheck to fit you best. Based on your individual needs, it will give you a personal rating circle which shows whether a product is suitable for you. You can set warnings, for gluten or if a product is vegan or vegetarian or not ⚠️. You will always receive suggestions of better alternatives, too. But CodeCheck isn’t just a product scanner and a smart shopping assistant. It’s also a wiki and a news feed – all in one app 💪!

Excellent when it works. Since an update ?last year, when I scan a product or search for one, it tells me that the 'product is not found. Even though the picture and title is displayed. Tried few times to reinstall the App but this unfortunately has not helped. I loved using it when it worked and still try to look for new advertised products, to see if they are worth buying or not.

First of all this is an excellent app! Really helps me when I'm shopping and need to know ingredients data right on the spot. There is also great explanation of ingredients in the app, BUT it really needs a search button, because this classification of products as it is now is useless. I can't find anything if I don't have the product to scan the barcode. Especially now when the website became useless, too. There also should be some sort of blocking the double (or +) upload of the same product.

After I painstakingly added (twice) a product to the database, it's still cannot be found in results. It's been more than a week since. I'm a paid subscriber of your service and think that it's a great idea but very poorly executed.. the process of adding a new product and its ingredients to the database is completely disfunctional. I spent over an hour adding just two products. mostly correcting the shortcomings of app design. Can't save a new product, no explanation. all info added.

We have made some improvements in this build, including:
