Great app but

ME@JO

To be honest, I think it is hard to keep track of all the companies and subsidiaries as there are so many products and, I suspect, diversification and diversions by corporations. However, I was disappointed to find out that they did not know that Garden of Life is owned by Nestlé. I had been buying a lot of their products and therefore unwittingly supporting an extremely immoral company; fortunately my step-daughter is more savvy and figured it out. I will still use their app and still highly recommend it but do your research too. The other great thing is that it will send a notification to the company telling the that you did not buy their product and what the issue is.


Great idea; seems to lack oversight

I think this app is a wonderful idea, and it seems to function very well as it is. However, it’s apparent that there is not much of a verification process for what goes into it. For example, There’s an anti fluoride campaign on here who’s description is full of pretty typical misinformation and outright falsehoods. It makes me question the accuracy of other data here.


Love love love

I can’t wait til the app is finished, but I love everything about it so far. I’m currently unable to link my social media to contact corporations, and they need some more products added, but keep up the amazing work guys!!


I love it

I’ve told my boyfriend and best friend about it. I’ve been cruelty free (buying cruelty free products) for 6 years now and this has made it so much easier. My brother showed me it so shout out to Andy


Only left causes

Don't upgrade 2

No second amendment cause :( Only anti NRA. Some of us care about the Bill of Rights... expected to find it under Civil Rights.


the social (ir)responsibility section

sugar you

maybe useful for some research, but there should be some more oversight because there is blatant manipulation by corrupt corporations within the social responsibility section


Does nothing

Scanning many things doesn’t work, when it did, product alternatives were often by the same company, makes finding why you should or shouldn’t boycott a chore, don’t waste your time here.


Doesn't seem to be moderated

Pixelated_Prophecies

There are some questionable campaigns on the app, and some spam comments and violent comments too. There's not a way to report these comments as far as I know.


Best app out there

Just me *g

Every consumer needs this app. Our dollar is the last power we have! We need to use it wisely and not give it to undeserving, uncaring, uncouth companies. This app isn’t perfect but it has the right idea and can be improved. It is the only one of its kind empowering consumers to make better choices.


Biased

lala_lou_ya

I would give ZERO stars if I could. Extremely biased. Do Not Download This App. You have been warned. It does not even work half the time.
