About this app

Learn how to buy the best quality products from the grocery store with the Bobby Approved app. Just point your camera, scan the barcode, and find out if that box of pasta, loaf of bread, or box of cereal is made with best-in-class ingredients, or if you should put it back.

Search, browse and explore by store (Costco, Whole Foods, ALDI, Trader Joe's, and more),by brand, or by aisles at the grocery store. Bobby Approved will not only tell you what to buy and avoid, but it will teach you how to read labels like a pro and become an expert shopper.

Bobby has personally reviewed every product at the grocery store and spent years sharing his knowledge on YouTube. Now it's your turn to learn how to only buy the best stuff at the store.

I have two changes I would make to make the app "Jerry Approved." #1, when manually typing in a food, let's say "Magic Spoon," you would hope that would come up at the top but you have to scroll down to find it. #2, It would be nice if there was an option to reflect a "better for you" choice knowing that the food is not "perfect" but it's not horrible either.

This app is great, and much easier than keeping a list of things to avoid on my phone. Some of the pictures of food are dated, but that's just a cosmetic issue. I would love a feature added in the future that allows you to tap on the bad ingredients after scanning a barcode to see why they should be avoided. I understand it's under the search menu, but if there's more than a few it makes going back and forth annoying.

Works great! No problems! Really helps make those BS products with slick "healthy" marketing easier to spot. App gives you a list of the ingredients (good and bad food) and will highlight the offending ingredient(s) for the unapproved ones. And it's great for my eyes, rather than trying to read the fine print on a shiny package, ingredients are on my phone in a nice big font!
