Ratings and reviews

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!

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.
