Disorganized, buggy, but a good idea

This is my dream app. It just needs to function. I can’t view any campaigns under the environment tab and haven’t been able to since I downloaded the app a month ago. Also, on a company profile, it’ll show a number of “other campaigns” but when I click it sometimes it will show many campaigns less than that number or none at all. There’s no way that I can find to add info about a product or company that only exists, you can just report an innaccuracy. I also don’t know how to create products. I also don’t know what an “action” is or how to take one. When I first started using it there was a section on product pages for me to select if I was going to buy the product or not and I think when I selected no it means I “took an action.” Now that doesn’t show up for me anymore. Please fix these problems! I have contacted customer service but gotten no reply.
Has potential!

Needs to add a way for people to make their own list of course once it’s been verified. Allow people to add companies to its list. For example the news right now is outing tons of companies. There needs to be a way to track all of those and by allowing a community based usage it will be updated as the world evolves. This app is exactly what movements like BLM need in order for us to hold those companies accountable
Good

We enjoy the app. It saves us time to be able to scan codes instead of look up parent companies while shopping. We would like to see something added to help use less plastic and create less waste. Please continue adding products.
App shares way too much info about users
Read the "privacy" policy
This would be such an awesome app but there are dealbreaker-level privacy concerns. As much as I would like to use the app, I will be deleting it for that very reason. So disappointing!
One-sided campaigns, huge disappointment

I was excited to find an app to help me avoid unhealthy brands but I quickly realized that this app is completely based on the leftist political agenda. If the app is going to include politics, then all views should be represented. Conservatives have literally been left out from fully utilizing this app. Even if your not conservative, it should raise a red flag that this app is very selective. This app needs to be unbiased to be adequate but the left just has to stick their foot in everything and shove their political agenda down everyone’s throats. The privacy policy is also unsettling.
Improve the ui of family tree

You have to scroll for days to see the parent company. Inefficient and doesnt give user the big picture at all. One way to change this: put siblings into a cluster that the user can tap to see all companies. AT LEAST implement a zoom out feature.
A waste of time

If your a angry liberal full of partisan politics this app is for you...I will keep researching my products the slow way.
Could be great but it's not

This app is severely outdated with inaccurate information that basically makes it useless. This is a wonderful idea. And I'm sure it's hard to keep updated and accurate but without doing that what's the point? Some of this stuff is years old. I don't see any easy way to report inaccuracies. It would be cool to add a feature where you can choose to boycott specific companies that you manually choose yourself instead of only companies that are under a certain "campaign."
Not accessible for visually challenged.

I’ll admit I’ve only had the app for a few minutes, but it’s tough for me to use. The text is small and it doesn’t honor the system settings or have it’s own settings to increase the font size. The contrast is very low. The nonstandard font is not pleasant to read. For such a socially aware app, I find the lack of focus on accessibility surprising. I’ll likely have to delete the app because of the difficulty I have reading it.
