How does your food score? How do we know what we re eating, really? Food processors make so many claims these days. Supermarkets are loaded with foods that contain chemicals no one can pronounce. EWG s ...
Used to be OK Had some products but limited Now nothing Never finds any item I wish it still worked and would continue to add products     No longer useful Ygrdgjyrfhj
I came to depend on this organization and this app to help me make very important food choices Now it hardly works at all and what s worse all my numerous emails to EWG have been ignored I used to link this organization to my Facebook page 4 times a year that will NOT happen anymore until they fix this Listen up EWG you re the only organization doing this kind of work and if you can t support your own application what is the point Don t get trumped And you ignore your supporters at your own peril         What happened GuitarUniverse
Doesn t recognize any barcodes     Blah Tdg719
On home screen after tapping the menu icon 3 horizontal lines the app crashes iPhone 6 iOS 10 3 3         App crashes when accessing menu Anonymous User 23579
I type in food categories and specific brand names and nothing happens Tried the scanner just as useless Good concept bad execution     Doesn t not work at all Macagal
The concept is great but the app contains too few products and lots of Standard American Diet stuff which I am not buying anyway Needs to expand to more GF Paleo AIP etc items             Too few products Leland Rix
This app use to work but now the scanning the bar code searching for an item does not work Plus support well there is no support     App stopped functioning KenJr49
The barcode scanner says everything I scan is not in database     App Does not Work OceanChem
Potentially a great app However after scanning multiple items in my kitchen not one resulted The app is not ready for market application     Nice but not ready Mjbertucci
Scan something in and it can t be found ok I understand that not all barcodes will be in the database But when you type something in nothing happens at all not even an item can t be found error     Doesn t work Clown fish fry
Doesn t work at all since the update Tapping on anything crashes the app     Update to crash the app jhb_froglady
Type in a product name or scan an item and no results Disappointed     App doesn t work BJN4460
Every single item I searched was unavailable However this is an issue with the app not the database because I have found everything I have searched for on the website version     Nothing in the database Catpaws775
Everything I scanned was not in database I tried typing in products and nothing came up Don t waste your time     What a useless app Beachsurfermermaid
Nothing happens app opens but does not matter what I search for nothing shows up Scanned normal food product could not find Deleting the app     Does nothing Healthyfd12
Open app Touch menu bars App closes back to my home screen Thx     Does nothing Amrap5901
The stars I give represent not the reality but the idea behind the app which could be so amazing if given an ounce of effort on EWG s part I downloaded Skin Deep the app this came from a few years ago but never got much use out of it everything I scanned was not part of their database I was excited to see they d updated the app and combined it with one for food items I m really disappointed to see it s no better than it was before It has info for maybe one in ten items in my house and not the ones I was most interested in seeing These are common products from big name brands purchased from Whole Foods Trader Joe s and the like What the hell is in your database if not those Seriously what Who do you think is using this product if not people who shop at Whole Foods the nation s top retailer of natural products I wonder if I would have better luck scanning crappy Revlon products at CVS or Kmart Come on EWG show a little effort It could be such an amazing resource with a little work updating your database Until then two stars is me being generous         regarding the body care database Dandouchi
Great app to check what ingredients in a product contain GMOs or have questionable processing Would be 5 stars if they added the ingredient list and nutrition facts for each product just as they do on the EWG website                 No chrashes here works great lowdownjtown
As others stated app crashed instantly its unfortunately Not worth downloading     Waste of space Emojiiaddict14!
Will update once it s actually working     Crashes immediately JW French
Nothing works except scanning barcode and no items are ever in there Closes when u try to search for anything or view the menu     Would be nice Scmommy9
Used to love it though     App crashes every time I scan johnboyNC
Never got it to work once crashes     Crashes Cigarmonkey
I use to love this app but It doesn t work for me any more The app closes all the time now     No longer working KANAVDK
Concept is great Was excited to check out food scores on our food staples but the app keeps crashing upon every search I see other reviews that say it hasn t worked for months Don t bother     Don t bother app crashes statsam
Just deleted the app because it s already been more than a month that it hasn t worked Every time I scan something the app closes Ugh Please fix it because I did love it when it worked Always used it at the grocery store             App has not been working Michelliii
I don t have the resources to tell whether foods are actually as good for me as the marketing says This app gives me confidence                     So great Friendly reminder 25268
Please fix this app Still crashing     Fix it Melsyjoy
App dies whenever search string entered iPhone 6P iOS 9 0 2 Used to work I feel confident they will soon fix this glitch it is a useful app     problem in iOS 9 0 2 LeeTX-notallignorantTeaParty
Works fine with iPhone 6s and iOS latest update as of 10 03 15                     Works JustReviewer
Crashes with latest iO     Not working with Latest iO KMN-PNW
I just got a new iPhone 6s and then I updated the app Now it s not working at all It will open but when I try to view what I ve saved on the app via the 3 little lines in the upper left corner the app closes Had to remove the app from my phone sense it isn t working right now     Current Version of App Doesn t Work Diva380
I stumbled onto this app by accident but it s fantastic I already use buycott and non gmo project but this is my new favorite Clean and clear UI and lots of useful information                     Simply great Jay83747
Most food I scanned shows nothing     Very limited ChingAcerJ
I heard about this app on Dr Oz I went shopping the next day and loved it Granted it doesn t recognize many bar codes but you can use the search for similar items It is awesome at helping you decide which brands to buy Highly recommend this app to anyone worried about what is in the foods the eat                     Great Help with Grocery Shopping Paullee's Girl
Hope to see them expand their listings its hit or miss with what will scan but its pointed out a few things id missed before reading labels on the products it did find This app is great now and has a ton of potential                     Great app so far Ubermanti
Good idea but lacking the information necessary to learn exactly why an ingredient is rated not so good or bad Needs some tweaking         Wish it was helpful CmeadsB
Gives you some insight but in a nutshell if it is not Organic it s gonna say it s bad for you or has something bad in it A good way for them to make people but organic     Useless Darthwaldo
EWG really shouldn t have launched this yet Great idea but poor execution The scanning works fine but as other reviewers noted you can t look up types of food         App needs a lot of work JJInSea
The app will scan barcodes but typing food names to search doesn t work at all meaning you have to have a food item in hand to search for it Also the database doesn t have enough items in it to make it very useful I wanted to like it but it s just missing too much         App missing features and database is lacking WJCIV17
i don t consider myself a health food nut nor a junkfood junkie but after 8 out of 10 scanned products come up not in the system i m out EWG needs a much bigger database before i ll come back         where s the food zengoth
Thank u                     Thank u Contact problem
This app did not recognize any of the popular foods I scanned     Barcode not found CFDFIRE12
I am informed by EWG whom I telephoned in their DC office that they are using a paid service to provide info on barcoded food products Guess what guys you arent getting a fair deal on that        Nothing that I scanned came up
Ive scanned a few things it recognizes zilch So off to the store I went scanned scanned still didnt recognize Useless        Doesnt Recognize Any Barcodes
PROS Ranks a food in several categories Compares the foods score to similar foods Gives some eyeopening details of both good and bad points CONS APP OFTEN LOCKS UP after a few scans requiring the user to shut down the app restart very annoying Regional foods dairy chips etc are not yet in the database WISH LIST When looking up a food the app compares it to similar foods Id like to see which brand of similar food has the better score so I can buy healthier If the developers continue to improve the app it will become one of the best shopping apps ever           Potential to be a Great App
Its great to have something like this that I can use in the grocery store                 Very helpful
The EWG has long been my go to source for nutrition and chemical information Im glad to see this is now available in app form for instore consultation                 Glad this is finally available on the go
This new app appears to have significant potential by providing obscure but important information on both the product and the manufacturing process The database of products are slightly limited at the moment only one product out of eight scanned were listed but Im positive this will be expanded Looking forward to heavy use of the app              Huge Potential
i dont consider myself a health food nut nor a junkfood junkie but after 8 out of 10 scanned products come up not in the system im out EWG needs a much bigger database before ill come back        wheres the food
I am so excited to find an app to cut the confusion I just downloaded it so I have yet to use it but am extremely excited to have the ability to cut to the chase while standing in front of a product in the isle and find valuable info beyond the label At first I thought why do I need this if I eat whole foods but I do buy broths coffees almond and coconut milks etc so even if you are a perimeter shopper I think this will be quite helpful Thanks Only thing I can think of that would make this even better is if it had a Q scanner or upc I will be back with a full use review                 Finally
So happy to find this app All those other food scanning apps I tried were shills Thank you EWG for your honest work                 Great app Thank you EWG
Just what I have been looking for Tried on several products in house and it gives all the details I want Only negative is that it doesnt have info on a lot of products that I usually buy For every 5 things I scanned maybe 1 was in the EWG app           Good
The bar is set quite low as to what is considered healthy OK for people who eat a lot of processed foods or want to compare one box of crap over another     Low bar
Thank u                 Thank u
The app will scan barcodes but typing food names to search doesnt work at all meaning you have to have a food item in hand to search for it Also the database doesnt have enough items in it to make it very useful I wanted to like it but its just missing too much        App missing features and database is lacking

Works fine with iPhone 6s and iOS latest update as of 100315                 Works
Tried 4 common items in my pantry and didnt get a single product in their database     Dont bother
I have scanned over 30 items and only found 1 in the database It seems like it could be a good APP just not ready at the moment These were common grocery store items Gatorade Greek Yogurt diet microwave meals It could not locate any of these items Not ready yet        Potential but not ready
This app has a good deal of useful information for those concerned about additives in food It provides a detailed breakdown about what aspects of a product are concerning if its nonorganic contains artificial ingredients etc Ive found it to be a good resource for quick info              Good resource
While the concept is a good one doesnt do me much good when about 34 of what I scan national brands isnt in the database Not even Kelloggs Rice Crispies or Post Shredded Wheat Disappointing two pantry basics arent listed     Waste of time
If I could rate a minus number I would Information is not backed up by evidence is strongly biased and spreads misinformation about our food supply     Highly Misleading
Crashes with latest iO     Not working with Latest iO
This app evaluates dozens of important qualities of food and gives clear information to help guide food choices                 I like it
As with the other reviewer theres nothing in here 80000 products Of what The first three things I scanned arent listed Planters peanuts fiber one granola bar and a nature valley granola bar There are similar products but not actuals Perhaps there should be a way for users to upload data for review I scan something unlisted it goes to EWG who does an analysis and updates the database Would be a supremely useful tool     Great idea poor execution
Most food I scanned shows nothing     Very limited
I just downloaded this today but I like it so far Its really easy to scan an items barcode and you get lots of good info The score is heavily weighted towards nutrition though This makes sense as long as you realize that sweets will inherently have a poorer score The database seems extensive so far              Cool helpful app
Similar to Fooducate but some different info Will be in my grocery store arsenal                 Great App
EWG really shouldnt have launched this yet Great idea but poor execution The scanning works fine but as other reviewers noted you cant look up types of food        App needs a lot of work
I just got a new iPhone 6s and then I updated the app Now its not working at all It will open but when I try to view what Ive saved on the app via the 3 little lines in the upper left corner the app closes Had to remove the app from my phone sense it isnt working right now     Current Version of App Doesnt Work
Hope to see them expand their listings its hit or miss with what will scan but its pointed out a few things id missed before reading labels on the products it did find This app is great now and has a ton of potential                 Great app so far
I have yet to have the app find a single item I have scanned The food is in the app of you search for it but scanning the bar codes nothing gets found I dont know about you but Im not going to search for my grocers as I shop I will redownload the app in the future           Has huge potential but not ready yet
This app did not recognize any of the popular foods I scanned     Barcode not found
I stumbled onto this app by accident but its fantastic I already use buycott and non gmo project but this is my new favorite Clean and clear UI and lots of useful information                 Simply great
Good idea but lacking the information necessary to learn exactly why an ingredient is rated not so good or bad Needs some tweaking        Wish it was helpful
This helps take the insider knowledge of remembering every crazy name for ingredients off my must learn list if guar gum is kind of bad or really bad Now I can use this app It it needs more generic improvements but with private funding and no help from the government we need to show some patience                 Great help
EWG has done all the work so I dont have to spend hours deciphering the food labels                 Thanks EWG
Really easy to use and provides great info about the products scanned Really helpful addition would be to recommend healthy alternatives           Good not great
Im grateful for the RD that went into this Already helped me to know risks with items I but every day For the reviewer looking for info on rice crispies if that is a staple you might want to reconsider No app or nonprofit needed to know that that product is just puffed candy              Very helpful
Just downloaded and checked several items in our pantry Highly useful info though its important to understand the suppositions that guide the ratings Items that were not recognized tend to be store brand When an item is not recognized the app tells you that the barcode has been added to a list for update so good promise for a rapidly improved database              Great resource
Most of the items I scannedsearched were not in the system You also cannot search by food type and there is no way to see the better alternatives to the item you scan Information is not accurate for example I scanned a product with a no gmo label the app gave it a bad score for containing gmo ingredients        Good idea but barely useful
Excellent                 Biz kid
I appreciate having so much information at my fingertips when Im grocery shopping and meal planning This tool helps me to be able to get actual accurate information quickly and easily                 Awesome Tool
