An editorial reading of the saved reviews

A barcode scanner for food and cosmetic ingredients that quickly shows a rating and explains problematic ingredients. The main flaw is an open database with insufficient moderation, leading to errors, while identical products can receive incomparable scores due to a shallow algorithm.

What people use it for

People who want to quickly check a product's ingredient list in the store

What reviews praise

People say the app literally changed their shopping habits: they now read labels and choose cleaner products.

What reviews complain about

The scoring algorithm does not account for dosage and evaluates individual ingredients rather than the full formula, so similar products get different scores without a logical explanation.
