Description
◆ 80 MILLION USERS ◆
Yuka scans food, beauty & personal care products to decipher their ingredients and evaluate their impact on your health.
In a world of incomprehensible labels, Yuka provides clarity in one quick scan so you can make clear-sighted purchases.
Yuka uses a simple color code to inform you of the product's impact on your health: excellent, good, mediocre, or poor. You can access a detailed info page for each product, to help you understand its grade.
◆ 4 MILLION FOOD PRODUCTS ◆
Every product is evaluated according to 3 objective criteria: nutritional value, additives, and the organic dimension of the product.
◆ 2 MILLION BEAUTY PRODUCTS ◆
The scoring method relies on analyzing all of the product's ingredients. Every ingredient is assigned a level of risk, based on current scientific research.
◆ BEST PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS ◆
For any product with a negative grade, Yuka will recommend in total independence a similar product that's better for your health as an alternative.
◆ 100% INDEPENDENT ◆
Yuka is a 100% independent application. This means that product evaluations and recommendations are completely objective: no brand or manufacturer can influence them in one way or another. In addition, the application does not advertise. Find out more about our funding on our website.

First thing it asks for your email. Ok. then it asks for money. I know how to read a label, I don't need this to read it for me unless they make it easier to use. I wouldn't mind a little banner ad (I just hate the ones that take over your screen and make you wait).

If you don't have a barcode and want to search the name it forces you to pay money.

Enforces account creation before allowing anything. Nudge to log in with Google to mine better data? Naah, sorry, that is not fair and proportional, it looks like data mining. That's a pass. Edit: interesting resp. This is a big app, so it's unlikely it's ignorance; your justification is false (an account to safely store scan history)? On device storage (files Dir), TEE alone are enough. Big/secure apps work w/o acct. So you're about identification collection not data security. It's OK though :)
