Ratings and reviews

Works pretty well for the most part and is pretty informative, however, It would be nice if there was a way that one could somehow link an item they find when shopping online to the App if there is no barcode showing in the picture to be able to scan, because sometimes the search option is not very helpful. The more words used in the search line the less helpful it becomes!

When you search for a product type like "sunscreen" it comes up with a list of products that you can select from. After you've selected a product, if you want to go back to the list of sunscreens on the prior screen, it doesn't let you, it just resets you to the beginning where you have to enter "sunscreen" into the search bar again. You lose your place in the list. Not being able to navigate backwards like most apps out there is super frustrating and a big time waster. Unacceptable :(

Love what the app offers, but the glitches that everyone describes are frustrating. 1 - While searching, if you leave/ minimize the app, or even click on a product from list, your search is gone and you have to start over. 2- Won't make lists. I've used this app (and been annoyed by it) for years. I'd pay to have a version that actually worked.
