What people like
- Helps find healthier food swaps easily

What they complain about
- Beauty ratings ignore acne risks
- Search locked behind paywall
- Recommendations often don't match original item
- Prices keep rising without clear value
Most Used App!!
Cuts down my grocery shopping time in half! I scan and it shows me the products which align with my healthy goals and gives great substitutes for guilty pleasures! Love it!
Does not include GMOs or ingredients from Bioengineered sources
App does not identify or include GMOs or ingredients coming from bioengineered sources and rank them as negative. Leaving customer to have to read entire label to discern if they are there defeating the purpose of a quick scan from App.
New listings
This is a great app and I use it regularly and recommend widely. I have noticed that when I tried to add a new food, I had progressed to nutrition table and as it was not present, the addition was not accepted. This was frustrating when trying to help the community. It might be better if the criteria needed to add a product were listed on page one so that the frustration could be avoided. Otherwise a very helpful app.
Not a FREE APP
I loved this app until I found out it charges just to look up an item without scanning. I’m looking to get another app
Great concept but…
I love this app for what it’s about and I use it to help with my decision making. However, I have learned that some things are not for me. Like it rates seed oils higher than natural fats because it’s less calories but doesn’t take into account that seed oils are toxic. Just use it to educate yourself.
Explains reasoning
I found a shampoo product on sale that I wanted to buy, but checked this app with the barcode scanning feature first. In the paragraphs that explain the reason the ingredients are ranked lower, I found out that one of the ingredients was connected to infertility risks and aggravates eczema conditions, which I have, so I was able to avoid that hassle/irritant because of it.
Not accurate
I noticed that the standard for how they determine if something is safe is a bit extreme. I scanned many items and started to notice that something was off. For example I scanned a jar of Polaner all fruit jam that is sweetened with only fruit juice and it labeled it as bad. When I read the description saying why they labeled it as such and they said that it was high sugar and had additives. The amount of sugars in the jam was 10 grams and the additive they flagged was pectin which is an ingredient necessary for jam and jelly production and occurs naturally in many fruits. The icing on the cake was the safe/ healthy replacement jam they recommended was one that was made with cane sugar that had a higher amount of sugar than their recommended 9 grams and is less healthy than jams naturally sweetened with juice. So to sum it up this app runs on extreme standards that they don't even follow on their recommendations.
Great app
Great app very great free use. Only 4 stars as they pointedly don’t include alcohol which is silly especially due to the heavy metals that have been increasingly common in alcoholic beverages
Inconsistency
My two friends and I have the Yaka and when we scan the same foods, we each get a different rating. Not impressed. Would like my money back
Cannot search items unless you’re a member
Silly that you can only scan things but a limited amount unless you’re a member. I like the app and its purpose but I feel that giving at least 3 free searches would be a kind gesture and get more memberships. Not everything is easily scanned especially if you’re not in a store and want to do research before purchasing an item.
The healthy way to eat
Yuka is the best app I’ve ever seen for health. You do have to look at the details but the fact that it recommends alternatives for the food it’s the best part.
Broken
It’s no longer working
Scanning
Yuka is awsome it makes everything easy just one quick scan but why it is not a full five is it can’t find ALL products but other than that it’s great 😎
Invite a friend???
I think this is an excellent app and would have given it 5 stars except you only get to view 3 categories for free. You have to invite a friend in order to see them all. No thanks, I am not giving out someone’s email just to view more categories. It says you can pay and maybe that comes after the invite a friend thing but I am not seeing any way to pay to unlock the other categories. DELETED!
Scan Results
On iPhone 16 scan results are hidden at bottom of the screen. This requires you to scroll up to uncover the rating. Pain in wazoo. Used to work fine. Soft reset iPhone 16, reinstalled Yuka app. iOS 26.6.1 up to date. No help to fix hidden scan results. Still have to swipe up results window is a pain.
I LOVE IT 😻!
Its recommends food! And it shows you what’s in your product! This is on of the best apps ever! If your trying to become healthy this is the best of the best app to get healthy! 😜😜😜😜😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳😛😛🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 someone I know shared this app with me so I want to share it with yall! 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄 Give it a try !
Recommended lotion w/cancer chems
This app, so far, has done 2 things which I disagree with and have deleted the app. 1) it recommended Aveeno oat lotion as a “replacement” for a “Poor” rated lotion I had scanned. Aveeno is known to have cancer causing chems in it. So…..? Huh? 2. Saturated fats (dairy, meats, fish, etc) are rated a “Poor”. Which they are not. Just seed oils. So I don’t trust them. By by corporate punks!
Great app, could use clean up
I use Yuka and absolutely recommend to friends. I would like to see this app cleaned up a bit. Users submitted pictures of items and when you search up a product you can sometimes see different ratings for the exact same product. With conflicting rating it makes it difficult to make an informed choice. The creaters should sweep the app and correct these conflicting ratings for the same product
Pratique mais abusive
Pratique pour connaître les additifs, cependant l’aspect nutritionnel est ridicule, indiquer qu’un fromage vendu en portion est trop salé alors qu’une portion représenterait 5% de l’AJR d’un homme, c’est alarmiste et peu réaliste. Pas de prise en compte des quantités prévues.
Idk yet
“We do not review products with high protein”
Great App
I now don’t shop without this app. Many of the items I had in my house, I’ve thrown away as they are so bad. I recommend it to everyone I know to eat healthier and eliminate the additives.
More filters needed
I feel like this app has great potential but a lot of things that says are bad for you are listed as just a common allergen. If there is a way to add filters to help find or search for specific ingredients and all their other names, I feel like I would use this more because there are some products that are amazing and worked very well and are not bad for you, but because there are some common allergens it’s rated slowly on this app
Pretty good reviews
They give some good reviews but they say stuff that is supposed to have sodium like a pickle should not have sodium!
Weird.
I liked this app but it won’t let me open the app anymore or delete it
Good but….
Good but I would have a feature where you can identify a product without having to physically the full thing since the search function does not always bring up the item. Also, please scan for pesticides and insecticides used on fruits/vegetables. Otherwise 5 stars!
So helpful to really check out foods
I appreciate that Yuka gives me alternative brands for the kinds of foods I’m looking for if a product I rated bad or poor.
Update not working
After last updates I am not able to use the app
Great app!
I suffer from severe allergies and sensitivities and my holistic doctor recommended this app. It changed everything for me! Of course there are some improvements needed, but for the most part it works very well! Highly recommend!
Pas fiable pour cosmétique
Dommage que ce n’est pas fiable pour le cosmétique…
Pretty good but could use some work!
Everything works so well! I get replacements for my safe foods that were unhealthy and also answers why my hygiene products aren’t doing well. But the app couldn’t read the bar codes on my wrists for some reason?
absolutely love this app
I absolutely love the Yuka app, It makes understanding product ingredients so much easier and helps me make better choices when shopping. Their customer support is also amazing—super friendly, helpful, and quick to respond
Price hikes, no cruelty free qualification
This went up in price from $8 to $10 to now $15 in about two years (2024-2026) while the catalog was still heavily expanding and lacked tons of basic brands and products. Of huge significance to some of us, Yuka still has NO cruelty-free marker or notation for animal testing. Its recommendations for “cleaner” subs are often nothing like the original search and yield literally no benefit to the discerning consumer who already knows better. Moreover, there are misrepresentations about the better-scoring cosmetic products since the statistics purport to assess safety through ingredient examination of previously tested ingredients that are toxic, banned, or whatnot without ever disclosing the exact amounts of the ingredients. This is a problem because some of the j ingredients are not bad at the percentages they are in the formulas and only pose mild threats when they aggregate on your skin, for example. This is coming from someone who’s been “natural” for almost 2 decades now. This is totally overpriced for what it is now. If you must, download it for a little bit and figure out what works for you. But don’t rely fully on their representations without doing your own diligence. It’s lowkey fear-mongering.
App Issues
Nice app but there are navigation issues. When you scan an item there is no way to get back to the Home Screen.
Israel
Esta aplicación está mal hecha. No hay coherencia entre productos y no es fiable.
Oh dear
A woke app that denigrates pink rock salt but praises sea salt that is high in mercury and micro plastics.
Great app
I’m not gonna make this long but it’s free and works just like the ones you see on tik tok and reels and whatever so it’s very worth it
Offline mode
It takes forever to load then the app immediately crashes restarting the app brings instant crash many restarts are needed before the app opens again now the offline mode begins its laborious loading only to end in a crash not worth the $15
Great App!
I think this app has been extremely helpful in finding healthier swaps for any food that I currently have in my fridge or pantry.
Great concept but
Disappointing that you can’t search if you’re not a member. Many items I scan don’t come up. I question if they are really in the app or is it a ploy to make you become a member
Could be improved
It's a good start to help decode ingredient lists, but Yuka gives excellent ratings to products containing things like maltodextrin, natural flavors, or canola oil—which are highly inflammatory for your arteries and joints. So you can't rely solely on Yuka to make better choices... you need to go a step further with your own research and analysis.
Amazing
Amazing app was having some issues but now it’s working
Sadly a scam
They will display reviews based on what company pays them the most. Please avoid this for personal health advice
Additional items and features
Add body wipes, cleaners, laundry detergents, dish soap, … . Add additional diet restriction features to make the rating of an item factored into. Like how Olive app does.
Para la cosmetica no es buena en absoluto y para los jabones menos
No lo recomiendo yo le di escanear un producto de maquillaje y me dijo que eras excelente y cuando lo probé en mi cara me salieron reacciones fuertes hasta granos también diría que para la comida sí que puede ser buena calificando ya que pone lo que trae cada ingrediente pero recomendaría otra aplicación mejor que pone cuántas calorías trae cada cosa y también lo que trae es similar no me acuerdo muy bien esta reseña la dejo para que otros usuarios que vayan a descargarla la vean y piensen antes de hacerlo
Very Good (NAA)
That is Very Good, (but Not Always Accurate). Today was the first time I decided to challenge YUKA‘S nutritional facts reporting. They must comply and be confirmed by Health Canada before the labels are approved certainly on this side of the ocean. The saturated fat reported by YUKA was double that of what was actually listed. Aside from the Guar Gum which is minimal risk it could’ve indexed much higher had the saturated fat reading been accurate. However, I am so glad that this platform exists and I’m hoping they have a system in place to correct these small missteps in accuracy. I do see many discrepancies… But if all users take the time to report them, they will eventually get it right. Keep up the good work. (FYI: I am a recovered diabetic, and a cancer survivor and ingredients matter a lot to me after a life of questionable nutritional choices.)
Love this app
If you’re more concerned with the ingredients in beauty products or food, this is your app. It gives all kinds of good info like what ingredients aren’t good for you and why. I’ve been using this app for 4+ years and I always whip out my phone when shopping!! Great app
Bad
Untrustworthy app. It contradicts itself constantly. One thing will be “excellent” or “good” and when I go to rebuy items I recheck on the app and all of a sudden the same thing is “poor”. It’s happened several times. It is also saying that terrible ingredients are still “good”, ones that still cause cancer etc.
Pretty good app but…
I scanned limes and they said it was cream cheese, and they didn’t even know how to read it😂🙏
Not good at rating products
App is very unreliable for products since it only tells you how “safe” they are. It doesn’t tell you if it can cause acne, fungal acne, irritation, rosacea, etc. It brainwashes people into believing every natural ingredient doesn’t have any negative effect on your skin. For example, myristic acid gets rated “risk-free” when it can literally cause acne and fungal acne. Please STOP using this app for beauty products as it’s highly unreliable.
Yuja Review
i think the app is amazing especially when on a weight lose journey it has helped me swap a lot of food for better healthier alternative but the only thing i do not like is how some food they reccomed the swap is nothing like the food i am having for example if i scan a crackers and cheese it will say it is not good then tell me to swap to sour bread....... or milk chocolate pretzels to Ancient grain twist. other than that i would reccomed the app if you are trying to loose weight 🙂
