Everyone should keep this app in their pocket as a shopping field guide. Good way to be an informed shopper. Wish there were more company specific details on why it is rated the way it is

Ive told all of my close family and friends about the book and the app. I truly hope the world will one day be an ethical, fair place. Let us remember what Samwise Gamgee said after Frodo had asked him what hope they were holding onto. "That there's still some good in this world and it's worth fighting for". Vote with your dollars people, and download this app! Personally I love the pocket sized book though. I always shop with it in my bag.

Great concept, but no real reason behind the grade.

I love being able to put my money towards companies who are responsible and ethical. Stop giving money to evil people!

It's a great concept, but provides no real information. I think the fact that this app currently has a 4.4 rating just shines a light on another issue with the world today, people just want to be told what to do. I want to shop responsibly, but I also want to know the why behind the grade. This app won't tell you that. They don't provide the reasons a company got a particular rating, you're just supposed to take their word for it. "Oh, I want to buy this... Cool, shiny blue A" No idea why.

Seems too out-dated to be useful. 30 years of data sounds great, but not when it's over 2 years old, and the majority of companies are still in the category for too little data. We need to know which companies are responding responsibly to current events, like COVID-19, BLM protests, Police excesses, Election events, and other local and world issues. Unless the database is constantly being updated from transparent sources, this app is going to continue becoming less relevant.

Simple, easy and quick to use. Rates companies from A to F, environmebtally- and ethivally- speaking. Non profit organization, which is a definite plus.
