Too many ads and a waste of time
I downloaded this app to help me find halal food options, but whenever I open the app it’s full of ads. It’s frustrating waiting at the supermarket for so long just so I can find out if it’s halal or not. This is too much greed like another user mentioned. Make it a one time fee maybe people will pay instead of wasting our time.
Too much Ads Ads Ads
It’s bad to see some people take advantage of Muslims by making something one the name of halal. This app is full of ads ads ads. Forced me to delete it Asap.
Just eat the haram food atp
There is no words to describe this app, it feels like I’m back in a war between China and Taiwan with how many ads i get jumpscared with while trying to use this excuse of an “app.”
If you see a product you wanna buy but don’t know if it’s haram, just eat it! i think god himself would appreciate you not going on this app to check it 🎉🎉🎉
In conclusion, War isn’t so bad compared to this monstrosity, thanks!

Faulty app
Chat functions submit button doesn’t work. Ads are super long, it’s really frustrating. Most of the products are just musbooh and they never update it.
Useless app
Every single time you tap on something on this app you get a 2 minute app. Literally unusable
Adds
2 adds each time come on I download it delete it right back
Adsss
Can’t even use because of the ads
DO NOT DOWNLOAD.
You will be forced to watch ads that never ends
Very Bad app
So many adds coming one after another… so annoying.
Disappointed and Frustrated/ NOT RECOMMENDED
I downloaded this app hoping for a reliable tool to verify halal products, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a major letdown. The app forces you to watch long, unrelated ads with no option to skip-just to get basic results. Also, you ar not sure if the result is given by a scholars. It feels exploitative, especially considering it’s targeting users who are simply trying to make faith-based decisions.
Using religious values as a gateway for ad revenue is deeply disappointing and forbidden in Islam. I sincerely question the intention behind the app’s design. If I could give zero stars, I would.
Not recommended.

too many ads
this app is such a waste of time, every time you click something even if it’s simple information you get an ad that’s atleast 30 seconds to a minute long which is absurd. even while watching one ad to find info it only shows you limited info and to see wether it’s actually halal or haram you’d need to watch multiple other ads, there are other apps that can help you find wether or not what you have is halal
Astaghfirullah
Honestly,
trash app
this apps primary intent it seems was Not to help people eat halal and perhaps make money on the side. but rather to make money first, second and third. and fourth. and through any means necessary. and then perhaps if it accidentally helps someone eat halal by mistake, then so be it.. occupational hazard
TOO MANY ADS I CANT SCAN😡
I DELETED THE APP YALL TOO GREEDY THERE SHOULD BE NO ADS ON ISLAMIC APPS
Not the best app
There’s too many ads whenever I try to scan the barcode. The app doesn’t show if the food is halal or haram. I thought it would maybe highlight the ingredients where it is haram or state on there halal or haram.
I Deleted the app
I downloaded the app, but it sends too many ads and takes up too much of my time. You should consider blocking advertising notifications. I deleted the app because of all the ads. It’s better for me to read with my own eyes than to keep waiting.
MAKES U WATCH 2 MIN ADS
Makes u watch ads just to see the status on 1 product and it is very buggy app it’s terrible just read ingredients rather then wasting your storage on this app
Too many ads
Too many ads
One of the worst app
Too many Ads it’s not worth it at all
Worst user experience ever
Until the publisher fixes it, do not download. To know the sharia decision on any item you have to watch about 5 minutes of ads. It says 2 ads but it just keeps going.
Ad fest
It’s like a full feature movie but all you see is ads, deleted same instance not work wasting 2 mins to check one item
Way too many ads
I’m just trying to find out if the foods I eat and the products I purchase are Halal or not. I thought this app would help, but it has so many ads that at this point, it is faster for me to just individually search up the ingredients of the products and find out myself. There is an ad literally everywhere. You open the app? AD. You want to scan? AD. You want to search? AD. You do nothing and just leave the app open for 30 seconds? ADS. It’s really long too. The ads are in pairs, so you have to beat through at least 2 30 second ads. The greed is unreal. Horrible app. Do not recommend. Just Google it at this point.
Horrible app
I actually truly don’t think I’ve used an app before that has had more advertisements than this app, YOU CAN NOT move a single button without a ad popping up, and each ad is a minimum of a minute with most being two minutes. Absolutely ridiculous.
Haram Ads Scanner
Too many long ads for no real information. Halal mission is jeopardized by haram ads.
Ad infested
Seriously this was a nice app before the update to ad infestation. Before the app here and there had an advertisement that was manageable but now starting the app and checking the status of any food or an item takes a whole 2 minutes of 4 ads before you can check something out. This is absurd. just take it off the App Store.
Do not use, it’s unusable
The greed on this app is endless, no reprieve from ads. Each one is a minute long.
H
Too many ads and it needs to confirm if it’s halal or not and not be lazy to find out something like enzymes and what’s its derived from instead of being lazy and just putting mabooh
Just an ads app
Don’t install this one, you will got a wave of ads
Never recommended
Ads are too long. It is ridiculous
Total waste
Don’t waste your time on this garbage app that is full of ads
too complex
too complex
Stupid app
Non informative
Really! That much ad!!
You are vetting the things for Halal yet show so much haram advertising. I understand you need to raise/earn money for the app to function but every click is summoning a new ad which is 30 secs long! Wow!! Every turn that I take I have to watch a 30 secs ad. Easily taking 2/3 mins to see if a product is halal or not. Do better please.
Too many ads
They should be some sorta limit to the greed. There are soooooo many ads at each step. even when you launch the application there is an ad, then he wanna scan a product there is an ad, then you wanna get info, there is another ad. Long ad by the way 30 seconds 50 seconds long. It’s crazy. This app is built supposedly trying to help the Umma, but the greed has gotten over them. Sad.
Mashbooh
Nearly most of the products are distinguished as Mashbooh
Why should a mushroom pizza be Mashbooh?!
