It was better
I chose this app because it had the NOVA food classification clearly indicated as first result. Now it is hidden among other information.
United StatesAmazing Work. But…
The world NEEDS this. Huge THANK YOU to the community of developers making it happen. One of the key aspects that drew me to the app is that it is open source. As such, I expected to find that the app allows data to move in and out easily. I was disappointed to see no support for Apple Shortcuts in the app. I also don’t see any import or export capabilities. Hopefully, these are on the roadmap as they are essential to me. I can’t code, unfortunately, but will look to contribute other ways.
United StatesAmazing
I was over the moon when I found the website and am so happy there is something like this. I’ve been searching for something like this website/app for too long. This should be shared everywhere!
United StatesLove the idea but it crashed three times in the first two minutes.
I want to love this ap; it is something we all need to offload the decision making process in choosing the right foods when we don’t have time to look up every ingredient. but the developers need to test us more because it keeps crashing when I try to sign up for an account.
United StatesAmazing resource, Easy to use app
After reading the book “Ultra Processed People” by Chris van Tulleken I was on a hunt to identify where to find info on what’s Nova 4 or not, and this app made it way easier than I thought would be available. It’s quick to scan and tell you what matches your mandatory categories and even when the product is not in the database, it’s quick to take a pic and have the app transcribe it and categorize it for you! The nutritional information is a bit more manual to enter, so if you’re using the app for that purpose it wouldn’t be as nice of a solution, and some improvements could be made, but for a crowdsourced resource, it’s exceptional. The main downside is I look like a bit of a crazy person scanning everything at the store!
United StatesNeeds More Users!
This could be such a great app if more people utilized it and input data on the food that they’re eating.
United StatesFinally a convenient way to avoid ultra processed foods
The database of foods is much larger than I expected. I knew we consumed more ultra processed foods than we should but some of the foods I thought were healthy were actually ultra processed. This is a great app and look forward to it continued success.
