Didn’t show certain products so I got confused
But I don’t think I can trust this app after all. There are clearly high FODMAP foods that are considered low in this app. On more than one occasion I have messed up my stomach trusting this app, even when scanning the specific products.

I was looking for an app that’ll scan for my friend’s allergens, and so I was testing it out on something that had his allergens. He is allergic to all nuts, so I scanned an ALMOND butter smoothie. The app said “no almond detected”… so use with caution…
Really? Limiting the amount of times you can search stuff?
Another app hidden behind subscriptions. Can't even search through their lists more than 6 times before you HAVE to use the 7 day free trial and then that's it! Booooooooooo 👎🏻
When it works, it’s very helpful. But most times when grocery shopping it suddenly stops and ask about a free trial and will no longer scan. I PURCHASED this app so no idea why it keeps saying I need to purchase again. Frustrating and I want my money back!
Does not work very well, takes too long to get it to work if at all!!!
I really need this right now. On a very restrictive diet as I’m breastfeeding a baby with a sensitive stomach but sometimes I scan things and it says it has ingredients it doesn’t or it says it doesn’t have dairy but it does. I do submit an error but I really count on it to be reliable.
