Comments on FoodSwitch for Android

★★★★★ P A · Mar 28, 2021

I've got a gluten intolerance and this app is very helpful when we're shopping for gluten-free products. I can highly recommend this app.

★★★★★ David Wanjiru · Jan 13, 2023

Food Switch is the best food comparison app in the market. I always rely on it when shopping to make sure that my basket is only full of healthier food

★★★★★ Red Redmondson · Jun 1, 2021

As celiac I use this app every time I go shopping. I recommend it to anyone with allergies

★★☆☆☆ Frances Ashton · Jun 18, 2022

Scanned three products by multinational organizations and get "this product is not in our database"

★☆☆☆☆ Angrboda007 · Aug 27, 2021

Did not scan any of the foods I tried. Must expand database.

★☆☆☆☆ Denise Hanna · Jun 16, 2023

Had the old app was great. Downloaded new app. If I want to use it will only open in the play store. There is no icon on my phone. Uninstalled and reinstalled still no icon. Not much use if I have to keep going into the play store to use it.
