| 2024-11-14 |  | | Overall all great app and very eye-opening the chemicals in our foods. One thing I would suggest is the ability to see what grocery stores carry the products listed under the (alternative) Recommendations, or even a filter where I can select only recommendations that are available at a particular grocery store. That would be very helpful as I don't know if my store carries all the ones that are listed. |
| 2024-11-12 |  | | Inconsistent ratings. A product will be rated good one day, then bad the next. I was buying items I thought were good, then the ratings change. I'm tired of this because It isn't helping me. UPDATE *** Thank you for your reply. I was hoping this app would save me time, but it seems I have to scan the same items again because of possible changes in the ingredients. Also, I hope bad ratings of an ingredient doesn't create fear mongering regarding small amounts of that ingredient. |
| 2024-11-09 |  | | My mom and I are absolutely obsessed with this app. We literally have been going to the grocery store and scanning so many different things and have been eating better because of it. I love the fact that it also tells you information about skin care and cosmetic products. I love how the app breaks down each product by ingredient and how it recommends better and healthier alternatives. I do wish however that the app expanded a bit more into product categories like laundry and dish detergents. |
| 2024-11-08 |  | | It's a great app! Free version. The work behind the scenes saves me the time from having to do the research. There's a breakdown of ingredients and explain the risk factors. I scanned a Korean Face cleansing kit, and got the English translation of the ingredients. It doesn't work for all, but I was grateful for that one. They provide healthier alternatives as well. No ads, a plus! I look forward to seeing more products added. For a small yearly subscription, there's more. Thank you, Yuka Team! |
| 2024-10-30 |  | | Can't go of the score actually read and look at the ingredients and read what each high risk and low risk does to your body...I do like this app a lot saves time,not needing to research each ingredient etc. Some stuff have low score because it's high in calories or sodium or whatever...but it actually can be really healthy for the most part because of all the other ingredients in it, so please read everything before discarding... |
| 2024-10-29 |  | | Yuka has become a must-have app in my shopping routine, from food to cosmetics. The interface looks great, it's easy to use and understand, and last but not least, it is independent! It has been a life-changer (and a life-saver), especially as I moved to different countries and needed to build new habits with new products. Thank you, Yuka! |
| 2024-10-27 |  | | By far, my favorite app of all time. My skin has never looked better since learning about the hazardous additives is my skincare products and swapping them out for better (and less costly!) products. Now I just have to start using this app more regularly for food 😊. I also want to request household cleaning products be added to the app. Especially for things like laundry detergent. |
| 2024-10-15 |  | | LOVE this app! So simple & straightforward to navigate and has quite a large library of products. It's been quite rare to encounter products that the app wasn't able to detect. I use this app constantly while shopping & it helps tremendously to make more informed decisions on the food/personal care products you chose before you purchase them! And my favorite feature is definitely the breakdown & translation of ingredient list items. I've learned so much about harmful ingredients & what they do. |
| 2024-10-13 |  | | If they had a sort option when search to go from "Excellent To Bad" filter by score (E.x. 100, 95, 90 etc... in an order), this app would be PERFECT. It's incredible to think about researching stuff you find everyday, knowing how bad in what's actually in it, and change your consumption of things. This app is LIFE CHANGING. Wild. 🐺 |
| 2024-10-09 |  | | I enjoy using this app. It comes in handy while I'm shopping or when I'm putting a shopping list together. The problem I'm having is that sometimes when I search for a food, the list may show an item twice (the same product), one with a good rating and one with a bad rating. This can get a little confusing sometimes. Other than that, the app is great. |
