Ratings and reviews

I've had this app for maybe 6 months all while on my Veg journey and have barely used it sadly. The app does seem to be very well put together however, I rarely have time to match all the ingredients or have battery life on my phone while I'm in the store. I usually just look for ingredients I know or the vegan approved stamp. My first couple of times using it visually very easy to navigate through, neatly listed, as well as understandable, too. I don't have much more to type about the app!!!!!

Actually one of the most helpful and crucial apps. It works offline so I don't even need Wifi or mobile data when shopping which makes my life so much easier when eating out/shopping :) Also, I work in a cafe and it makes checking ingredients easier when customers ask if a product is vegan or not. It is easy to find additives (either by E number or full name) and only takes seconds to check. Altogether, the 1 app I would recommend to both starting and experienced vegans.

It's mostly good, solid database and such, however multiple non-vegan or potentially non-vegan things are marked as 100% vegan, so maybe don't entirely trust everything. but it'd be very good if not for that; maybe you could add a feature to report a certain item being wrong, that could help.
