Buycott - Barcode Scanner & QR Bar Code Scanner Reviews

Why do I have to sign up?

a person, not a bot

I want to use the app not feed your info machine.

A great app in theory, but only one political spectrum of ideas is represented. I consider myself very moderate, this app holds only one particular set of viewpoints, rather than allowing the use to decide what their stance is on any particular issue. Very politically charged and biased. Also some fact checking should be in order to determine the validity of some of the claims against certain products, so as to not misrepresent or mislead.

Loving it!

Such a helpful tool when doing my best to vote for the kind of world I want with my wallet.

Needs support for xsmax and better privacy

bniemyjski

I had to search around to disable sharing and I had to enter a password when using oauth. These need to be addressed as well as supporting more iPhone screen sizes

Not for half of the country

I was hoping I could create my own causes, but this only lets me add predefined causes that do not align with my values (or the values of half the country, but let’s pretend we are all the same)

Seemingly well engineered, limited consumer base

Tugger252

Only useful for liberal minded people. I’d be willing to use this app if they broadened their horizon.

Boycott this app

ShroyHammer

They “share” all of your personal information and date, including your IP address. Company that claims to care infringing on your privacy gets a 1 star. We need to quit folding and letting social media and apps gather and sell our information. It’s becoming the norm, you looking for things to boycott, boycott apps like this that are only looking to advance the advertising industry until it’s like the movie “Minority Report” where they have face scanners everywhere and the screens all turn to ads that target you personally.

Vote with your $

Redux

It’s one of the only ways to make change these days - Buycott is a fantastic app for this and is a very feature-rich application as well.

Don’t Just Complain, Take Action

Scottyboyg9

Your money is your power, and we need to stop giving that power away to people and institutions who cause us harm, danger and imbalance. This app helps you redirect that power responsibly. Is it a perfect app? No. But it’s free, and it’s effective, and it is one of the few apps that actually makes a difference in the world. I’d rather join the couple million Buycott users who question their purchases -who take a moment to stand up for their values - than the billions who just mindlessly complain and consume.

Good idea with room for improvement

CArrie Levin

I like the concept of knowing what I buy based on my politics. The drawbacks: wish there's an optional search by company name instead of only scanning. Search is slow when in stores due to jamming signals and limited broadband. There is no contact information on website alone. Just came across grossly inaccurate information about a favorite product, which took some time figuring out who to contact for correction. Caveat Emptor
