it. seems. when I. try. to. scan. Bobby's. p approval on something it does not go through?
this thing doesn't stay working. I go to scan when at Costco and it works for like 3 items and then won't scan items anymore. I reboot phone. works once and then freezes again. starting to piss me off.
the scanner never works properly 😒 I get maybe one or two scans then it tells me to align the barcode. I can use Yuka one scan after the next without any problem what's so ever. please fix the scanner on your end as I uninstall and reinstall to no avail.
doesnt work half the time and the other half doesnt have the product info
I haven't found anything at Costco that's approved of yet
great information if you can scan more than one item every time you open the app it would be actually useful
Unable to scan
unreliable scanner
scanner doesn't work in store and takes forever to load ... so far not impressed
Too many inconsistencies. Same product one says approved the other unapproved. Which is correct? What's the point of the app if it says different things.
This guy uses fear and false nutrition information to scare people into buying his products.
the more I used the less I bought.
scanner does not work more than once
Chinese app!! I would give it no stars if I could
Organic App Basically everything needs to be organic. I wish he went into heart healthy or Diabetic healthy. Basically if it's expensive he approves it.
I can't scan multiple bar codes unless I. Force Stop the app. Very inconvenient.
always trouble scanning items.
The app is overall good and helpful, but there’s definitely room for improvement. The biggest issue is the scanner-it’s hard to use, often gets stuck or doesn’t work at all. I frequently have to close and reopen the app multiple times just to get it working again, which can be really frustrating. Fixing the scanner and improving stability would make the experience much better.
unreliable. I saw the exact same Nature's Promise organic free range chicken breasts listed twice, one being approved and one not approved. exactly the same item. there's also an over emphasis on organic. just because something is organic doesn't automatically make it better and there are bad organic options too. no source info is provided for why something isn't approved either. I will say I appreciated that you can use this app without making an account
I have to close App then reopen to get bar code scanner to work.
Every page I went to had incomplete words. Didn't give me much confidence in its accuracy. Uninstalled
