Fabulous... this app makes it very easy to find and purchase healthy food to add to your diet. It has many useful choices, so it can be set up to suit your needs. It's so simple to use, that an old bloke like me can use it.
★★★★★ForcedBy Playstore· Jul 28, 2026
[edit 29 Jul] Thank you for fixing this so quickly. Everything is working now. . [13 Jul] Can't get it to work. Any advice? After opening, it tells me there is an update. When I click update it takes me to the Play Store, but there is no update available. When I click not now it does the same thing. In both cases I click 'open' to go back to the app, and I just have the big blue wheel of death going around. Left it for an hour, nothing changes.

Makes healthier choices easier. Also no matter if it's calories fat sugar salt. A lot easier than judging between different packets' nutrition information panel
★★★★★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
★☆☆☆☆graeme chalmers· Jun 27, 2026
Every time I open the app it tells me I need to update the app to install new foods, but I have no option to update the app 😕
★★☆☆☆Ian Cairns· Nov 24, 2024
Suggestions not accurate. I sampled a few products and checked the 'healthier' options. One'healthier' option had twice the salt, three times the sugar and three times the calories. How is that healthier?
★★☆☆☆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.
★☆☆☆☆Sonya Fillet· Jul 18, 2024
I had to reinstall the app and the new version is terrible. Does not show GF option in the same category of foods. Foods I know have gluten in them the app cannot conform that it has gluten contained. When I know the last version I came up with gluten contained. Terrible I'm going to have to Un install and find something else
