This app saved me a lot of time from googling all the ingredients in some of my food products. It helped me focus on the products that had red flags and then I could dive deeper into whether I felt safe to still use those products, or not!
★★★★★
Added Allergens don't work! Entered all food allergies then purposely scanned known product which contains allergens and comes up okay??? Scanned Heinz Ketchup not in system...seriously! Something isn't working properly. Not much use if I have to enter everything I buy. Wasted Money buying extra features to find out it doesn't work. gggrrrrr UPDATE: I got in contact with Maxsoft via online chat through their website. We tried to solve the issues I was having and at the end of the day it wasn’t possible to resolve. So they offered to refund me back all costs occurred and the refund was conducted immediately. The individual who was helping me was professional and I frankly was very happy with the interaction. I realize that with electronics some apps simply don’t work together whether it’s other apps that I have on my phone prevent it from operating properly blah blah blah. So I’m changing my review from one star to a five star for the amazing and prompt service I received from them.

★★☆☆☆

★★☆☆☆
Dosent scan well and dont tell you the information which is scanned
★★☆☆☆
Scanner doesnt pick up all the ingredients. The process is slow and app keeps freezing. Graph is very small and need to go searching to find the list. Not made clear within the app that you need to pay separately for additional features so I had accidentally paid for one I wouldn't use thinking I was paying for all premium features. Has the ability to look up ingredients but then need to manually enter them onto a list rather than clicking a + button to add to a list which would be handy. Dislike
