Excellent! See what you're eating! Greatly exceeds my expectations. Simple to use. Scan the bar code of any food item - it quickly provides a score with a breakdown of the good and bad. I quickly scanned most of the things in my pantry used regularly and immediately identified 3 or 4 things to eliminate/reduce/replace in my diet. Some scores are obvious - butter is bad with high fat, calories. But, my "healthy" non-butter spread was much worse! It suggests healthier alternatives. Great app!

It's a great app! Free version. The work behind the scenes saves me the time from having to do the research. There's a breakdown of ingredients and explain the risk factors. They provide healthier alternatives as well. No ads, a plus! I look forward to seeing more products added. For a small yearly subscription, there's more. Thank you, Yuka Team!

Great app. Very useful, it informs you of all of the positives and negatives of each product on your health. The only problem I have, is that it takes points off the total score if there are any additives at all, even if they are no-risk. Which, isn't much of a problem for me because I can decipher that myself, but it may not be accurate for people who base their judgement, purely off the number.

Overall all great app and very eye-opening the chemicals in our foods. One thing I would suggest is the ability to see what grocery stores carry the products listed under the (alternative) Recommendations, or even a filter where I can select only recommendations that are available at a particular grocery store. That would be very helpful as I don't know if my store carries all the ones that are listed.

The app is exactly what I needed. It allows me to pick and choose what I should be getting without the hassle of reading. Even if you do not become a member, the app is still very useful in determining what foods are good to get based on judgement. The app rarely does give not-so-accurate recommendations but you can clearly if it's wrong based on judgement. Honestly the only app that I use constantly to where it feels like second nature. I'd recommend for sure.
