THE APP WORKS SO WELL!!!
i have celiac disease and i can NOT have gluten i have got this app and it has saved me from getting sick cuz sometimes it says gluten free but it is not gluten free and/or cross contamination so ty for making this app!!
Don’t waste your time
Why should I pay for a subscription that doesn’t even have basic food items in their “database”
Info-sharing App
I paid for this app and found it only slightly helpful, usually not recognizing the bar codes I scanned. Now it wants me to sign in so it can “share information” about me. No thanks
GF scanner
The scanner was helpful in some situations but in the long run wasn’t very helpful. It kept giving me wrong information.
My Hero App
I've been using this app for over a year now and it's truly a critical part of my dining out experience. Whether I'm looking for places around me or for when I travel, this app is a huge help. My biggest complaint had nothing to do with the app itself, and more so to do with people giving places inaccurate ratings, as it seemed they weren't reviewing the rating criteria defined in the app. BUT they recently rolled out some changes to help combat this and I want to say thank you to the developers for the updates!! The new "quiz" structure to guide people to a safety rating and review is so so helpful and I have a bit more confidence that other folk's ratings will be more accurate moving forward. Overall love this app, and will continue to use it whenever I can!
Not opening to scan
In settings I have my app set to open to the scan tab. However it always opens to restaurants. Plus there are so many barcodes that don't work. Even common items. It gets annoying. Especially when I rely heavily on this and other apps for safety.
Login???
I used to love this app, but now it requires a Google or Apple login. There’s simply no reason why they need my Google or Apple password to use this app. I think I’ll be moving on to other apps now.
Not fully accurate
I was purchasing an item and wasn’t sure if the item was completely gluten free I use the app and it said it was. However, a family member ended up eating the product had a reaction and broke out in hives. Just be careful using this app because it’s not always fully accurate.
Easy to use
So thankful for this app it really helps me navigate being gluten-free
Dishonorable business practices
Changing from a free application and making it suddenly cost money is terrible. I count on this app for my grocery shopping and suddenly my shopping experience became basically impossible due to this scummy change. On to find another scanner app.
Bad things
Ok first off the app was great in till it just on some products it just didn’t say anything about the product it just said we can’t read ur barcode and then I scanned something that I thought was gluten free but intill I scanned it it said gluten free and I ate 2whole bowls of the products and then I checked the ingredients and it wasn’t gluten free so thanks a lot supposed gluten free scanner app
Amazing resource!
This app is my go to resource to find places - both when I’m traveling and when looking for something new where I live - where I can safely eat.
Sent you an email yesterday
Please respond. Thanks.
So helpful
So handy to have in the supermarket
Bad for privacy
They added a forced Google / Apple sign in after i purchased this app. I don’t want to be tracked so can no longer use this app.
A life saver!
A great aid to helping keep my granddaughter healthy!
Deleted
I used this pretty much every every time I went to the grocery store. Then it started requiring me to set up an account and login. I deleted it from my phone.
Life-changing
Such an easy way to stay updated in the middle of grocery store shopping save so much time!
Now requires login
App worked for years without requiring email or login. Support blames Apple technical requirements yet many other apps work fine without sign in.
Great resource!
Love having this for the celiac in my life!
This is a horrible app
This is a horrible app it’s clunky and it wants you to keep paying to use it so why even waste your time with it?
Gf scanner
Love this app!!
Stinks
First bar code I scanned said it didn’t find it and told me to buy the upgraded version. Delete!
Extremely helpful App!
This app is so helpful to help to navigate the gluten free options. I highly recommend this app!!
Rubbish
Don’t waste your time or money. Just paid for the full version and out of the first 10 items scanned, it found 4 of them
