An editorial reading of the saved reviews

People love it as an honest ingredient database: you scan a product and see a breakdown of every component, and if a product is missing you add it yourself and wait a couple of days for analysis. It especially wins over those who toss packaging and forget the formula, and parents of kids with hundreds of allergens. The downsides are real but not fatal: intrusive ads get in the way in stores, dark mode breaks readability, and some pricey products are not in the base yet.

2 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

It has the majority of the products I scan, if not I upload photos and they get analyzed in a matter od days.

I scan, photograph and add them myself and WAIT for them to be added.
