Is It Vegan?

I enjoy this app. I’ve been vegan for around seven months now, but still need help every now and again when it comes to ingredients in certain products. Most of the time, when I scan a product, it will pop up in the app. However, every so often - and MORE often lately - I’ll get a message telling me the product isn’t found. As you can imagine, it gets pretty frustrating after a while. And would it be so hard to contact certain companies to find out if there “natural flavors” are, in fact, vegan? Also, it would be FANTASTIC if you’d get rid of the ads that have sound. I can’t stand it when I’m in the middle of a store, scan a product, and then some random ad comes blaring out of my phone. It’s rather embarrassing. While you’re at it, discount your app. $5 is ridiculous.

Edit: After using it I do see what people mean in the other reviews. It said this bag of Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream was Definitely Vegan. And only lists three or four ingredients total. When I looked on the bag there was milk in it. Kind of annoying. Great start for people like myself who are new to looking for vegan and nonvegan ingredients in food. I went to test it out in my kitchen and it only recognized a couple of barcodes. Which was a little disappointing in the way of convenience. But I'm still able to type in the information and find out that way. So it's not too bad.

This is a really good app. I’ve used it for 4-5 years here and there. I do also double check the ingredients list myself just in case it said something is vegan that actually isn’t. For the past 6 months this app can’t even be used. As soon as I open it the app crashes and kicks me back to my home screen. You can’t even post on the apps page directly to the app developers with this issue it said 405 action not allowed or something. Don’t know if they even care at this point. I was hoping that there would still be updates for it, improvements, bug fixes, etc but there’s been nothing. Really disappointed and going to delete the app.

You don't have to be vegan or vegetarian to use, and appreciate this app. *No more tiny unreadable mouse print * It will help you to be able to read - and better understand - what ingredients are in the food you buy no matter what your diet is. Reading and being better informed of what is in that so-called food - will help some people make better choices.

I love this app. I have been vegan for almost a year and I am still amazed at how people manage to sneak animal products into things I would never suspect. Being able to scan an item right in the store and get instant feedback cuts back time on label reading as well as teaches me the technical names of certain ingredients I may not otherwise be aware are not vegan friendly. Awesome!
