This issue highlights a need for clearer communication and a more user-friendly cancellation process to prevent negative user experiences.
I tried to cancel my membership twice but still got charged $60, and I can't find an easy way to get a refund.
Limited Free Scans

I was very disappointed with the very low limit of free scans you get per month; it almost makes it not worth using.
App Crashes
Frequent app crashes and performance issues are causing frustration among users, particularly after updates or when attempting to use key features like scanning. These technical issues undermine the app's reliability and user trust.

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

This app has been a lifesaver for my family. My father had to be on a low iodine diet combined with his usual vegetarian renal diet due to PKD. You have no idea how hard it is to find almost anything packaged/store-bought that is salt free. I am thrilled to write this review and hope others will get half as much use out of it as we have.
