The app lets you scan barcodes on food products to check the ingredients to see if it is plant-based or not. If the scanner doesnt work, you can manually type in the UPC. THAT is wonderful! The app helped me get through most of my pantry to figure things out.
The bad news is that sometimes you will scan something that the program hasnt seen. It gives you the option to add the ingredients and UPC number to the database, but then it had a pop-up that says it lost connection to the server. You click "okay" to start over but as soon as the pop-up is gone it pops back up again.... Three more times.... And then finally it lets you back into the app. You try to enter the item again but it does this EVERY time (for me anyways). Also, sometimes it scans things improperly. It mistook a can of Heinz Tomatoe Sauce as Olay Foot Cream? The UPC wasnt even close. Then, after a few scans, it starts putting a pop-up in between every scan for a product and the actual page with that information. Sometimes I scan and then I see the page of information start to lead and then BAM! ad. So I watch it, but then the information from the scan is lost because it couldnt hold a connection for that long to the server or something? If I wasnt trying to scan so many I wouldnt have been so aggrevated. Sometimes it even stops you in the middle of a manual input of a UPC just to give you an ad and they last 5 seconds. Its a long number. And I didnt even finish typing it. And youre going to stop me in the the middle? What?! There are so many ads. I looked into buying the ad-free version but with the way it looses connection to the server or w/e all the time... Idk if I want to spend money on a product I cant use when I dont have signal. Theres plenty of other apps that I can use to simply look up ingredients that dont need signal that are also free. Helpful, but until the bugs are fixed Ill keep my money.
