Comments on Insect Food Scanner for Android

★★★★★ WaLkRtXrnGr · Feb 9, 2024

Love it it has kept me from having allergic reactions to food products without having understanding as to why

★★★★★ Vlad CA · May 5, 2024

Great! WEF can eat their bugs themselves)

★★★★★ sevgi karaca · Nov 21, 2023

A very good application. It's beyond amazing. It immediately tells me if there are bugs or not in the food I consume. I highly recommend it to everyone.

★★★★★ Mikael Dunfalk · Oct 9, 2023

Amazing app wher you very quickly can find out if the food contains insects! Please make a version for Sweden too 🙏

★★★★★ John Dowd · Mar 14, 2025

Great stuff! Found a bunch of insects in tuc crackers. Big insect is trying to force-feed us bugs!!!

★☆☆☆☆ Patrick Maroney · Dec 25, 2024

Scanned food that is known for containing insect, and it claims no insects found. This app is worthless.

★☆☆☆☆ Leo Novikov · May 8, 2024

It is a fictional app. I scanned a product which states that it has cochineal bugs as coloring and the app shows: no bugs! If the developers didn't bother to include cochineal in the list of insects, then it's a rubbish app. I recommend Yuka app which tells you about insects including cochineal and about many other things and also can recommend an alternative product.

★☆☆☆☆ Anthony Kubalik · May 16, 2024

I tested this app on a bag of bird food (suet pellets with meal worms) app said "in insects found"

★☆☆☆☆ The AndroidFerret · Oct 15, 2023

Scanned 10 articles. No insects. Could be luck. But I doubt it. App is published via Google. So not the most trustworthy site imo. I am going to test it with known products tomorrow. If it registered those. I'll change my review ! If not. One star is even too much

★☆☆☆☆ Mandi Beaumont · Oct 16, 2023

It scanned everything including the bar code with same result...no bugs.... trying to get accurate reading of the bar code was impossible, scan bar just kept saying no bugs even when it wasn't scanning....
