Open Food Facts - Product Scan アプリのレビュー

I’ve been using Open Food Facts lately and it’s an amazing app but what I would love to see in a app is to see if a meal/dish/recipe is processed or unprocessed and it also doesn’t look up the products that I want! Going to a new app!

OpenFoodFacts is free and community built. Fig makes you pay to scan food products, which as someone who has food allergies I think is ludicrous. OpenFoodFacts has worldwide information and details on more products than Yuka. My only complaint is that the app version for OpenFoodFacts is a bit slow, so I prefer the website version. This app seems really promising and I'm excited to help add to the food database.

Can’t find nothing. I scanned and all I get is ‘error’. Don’t bother.

I use this app to get access to collaborative nutrition facts about products, and it also contains prices

A can of Pepsi Max turned out to be a C and a box of 100% juice was an E....doesn't make any sense....maybe a good scanner but a poor algorithm for nutrition.

Open source data is an excellent idea. But forcing people to create an account to use it is bull and I simply refuse to do it. App is rated accordingly.

First product I scanned was not in their database. What followed was 15 minutes of photos and questions I had no answers for. Then requests for the same photos. Then requests to write down the information that was in the photos. They may know all of this. But they don't know the first-timers like me who know nothing about any of this. Screen after screen of confusion. I gave up and deleted it.

I chose this app because it had the NOVA food classification clearly indicated as first result. Now it is hidden among other information.

The world NEEDS this. Huge THANK YOU to the community of developers making it happen. One of the key aspects that drew me to the app is that it is open source. As such, I expected to find that the app allows data to move in and out easily. I was disappointed to see no support for Apple Shortcuts in the app. I also don’t see any import or export capabilities. Hopefully, these are on the roadmap as they are essential to me. I can’t code, unfortunately, but will look to contribute other ways.

I was over the moon when I found the website and am so happy there is something like this. I’ve been searching for something like this website/app for too long. This should be shared everywhere!

I want to love this ap; it is something we all need to offload the decision making process in choosing the right foods when we don’t have time to look up every ingredient. but the developers need to test us more because it keeps crashing when I try to sign up for an account.

After reading the book “Ultra Processed People” by Chris van Tulleken I was on a hunt to identify where to find info on what’s Nova 4 or not, and this app made it way easier than I thought would be available. It’s quick to scan and tell you what matches your mandatory categories and even when the product is not in the database, it’s quick to take a pic and have the app transcribe it and categorize it for you! The nutritional information is a bit more manual to enter, so if you’re using the app for that purpose it wouldn’t be as nice of a solution, and some improvements could be made, but for a crowdsourced resource, it’s exceptional. The main downside is I look like a bit of a crazy person scanning everything at the store!

This could be such a great app if more people utilized it and input data on the food that they’re eating.

The database of foods is much larger than I expected. I knew we consumed more ultra processed foods than we should but some of the foods I thought were healthy were actually ultra processed. This is a great app and look forward to it continued success.

This is a great idea. The problem is that although the scanner recognizes the product (at least generically, but often not the specifics such as the brand) there is no data in the dB for many products. The first four items I scanned all asked ME to enter all the data from the package. Tsk tsk. If you’re crowdsourcing the data it’s going to take a while before this app becomes useful.

This app has lots of potential. I am able to scan products, but when it comes to collaborate adding to the database it requires an account. I made an account in the computer before I tried this app. The app keeps telling that user or password are wrong. I was not able to create a new account either.

I’m so impressed by the developers who created an open source food database that’s free. It has amazing data in it. However, it needs some polishing. Ceating an account is unnecessarily glitchy. You can’t get an ampersand for the email address because it gives a phone keyboard for the account ID. I found a workaround by using the microphone feature of your phone. Then it gave me a regular keyboard for some reason. Small things like that should be easy to fix. Then I would not hesitate to change my rating from 4 to 5. I guess it might be difficult to test the fix since one only registers once.

The barcode has worked perfectly for me. Sometimes there is no information on products, but I've learned a number of things about the cans on my shelves that will help me shop healthy. Grade for avoiding red flag saturated fats, etc., at a glance.

Can’t be that great or popular if no one feels compeled to review, i mean not even a negative review in two years?

Please please please add pork!

The scanner works well and is fast. Great for the French products but not so much for the US. The database needs to grow more.

The app doesn’t work. Can’t create an account and can’t scan any products.

Nothing comes up. Extremely slow

this app dont do nothing ive scan ever thing in my room that has a bar code on it 🤦🏽‍♂️ i even scan a dr pepper can 🤦🏽‍♂️ nothing came up

Does not trip consistently the camera for barcode scan. It did once and found my English whole wheat muffins.
