About CodeCheck: labels scanner

CodeCheck: Scan food and beauty products

Looking for cosmetics and foods that are healthy and free of toxins, palm oil or too much sugar? With the CodeCheck app you can see at a glance what’s actually hiding behind the cryptic content lists on the back of your products. Allowing you to shop healthy and sustainable! CodeCheck isn’t just a barcode scanner. It's also a smart shopping advisor and a newsfeed – all in one app!

Ingredients at a glance!
Simply scan the barcode on foods or cosmetics and find out in seconds whether your granola is gluten free, if your yogurt is lactose free or if there are toxins in your shower gel.

Rating circle
To see at a glance how recommendable a product is in relation to health and ecology, CodeCheck uses a simple rating circle: the greener the circle, the less cause for concern you have with the product. Red, on the other hand, indicates the presence of critical ingredients.

Expert reviews
The rating circle conceals a complex algorithm that compiles assessments from independent sources and experts to generate a rating, and at the same time proposes alternative products with a green rating circle. These sources and experts include the California Department of Public Health, Greenpeace, WWF and the European Commission.

Better alternatives
Is there palm oil in your pizza or toxins in your shampoo? We will show you! And with each scan of the barcode, we will also automatically suggest healthy, or toxin-free cosmetics.

Personal alerts
Are you vegan or vegetarian, or do you need to eat gluten- or lactose-free? With CodeCheck you can be alerted to critical ingredients, and at the same time be shown better alternatives without gluten or animal-derived ingredients.

Filter function
Set filters in each category to exclude products with hormonally active substances, titanium dioxides or aluminum from your search.

News feed
Thanks to the news feed in the app, you’ll always be up to date with environmental and health tips and issues.

Authorizations
The app requires authorizations for your camera (for the barcode scanner) and location. The location will only be queried if you tap on “Automatically detect location” in the price comparison, and then only for a few seconds. CodeCheck records neither your location nor other personal information. Only for Playstore: If you use Android 6, you only need give your consent to the authorizations if you actually use them.

This app is Amazing

G70%
by G####:

It's a good and helpful app which enables me to buy the types of food that I want. The only improvement is that the software needs to stop freezing.

Z70%
by Z####:

Great app. More products international ones would be great and saving option.

Z70%
by Z####:

Very good but a possibilty to memorize the good products would be useful!

Never ever without this app

What I needed

X70%
by X####:

Too bad

Z70%
by Z####:

This app is the best tool to understand the quality and the risk of many products. Risks are not written anywhere on labels! The scary est experience I had is with most rising cream for kids full off wax, a by-product of mineral oil used to make petrol and diesel! Enjoy and spread the word!!

D70%
by D####:

This has the potential to be such a great app! It's the best I've tried so far, but it still only recognises a handful of products. It crashes each time I try a record an image of an undefined product, but other than that it works well. It's not just limited to cosmetics, giving you lots of useful information about food products as well!

by Z####:

Awsome app. I threw out a lot of my cosmetic items I didnt realize were so bad for you. Do not buy morphe pallets! Holy hell are they dangerous to use. Expessily for men.

Super App aber wenn ich für mich Warnungen bezüglich Gluten und Co einstellen kann dann doch bitte auch die Sprache. Ich habe doch keine Lust, in den Laden zu gehen mit da die Verpackungen durchzusehen und die chemischen Begriffe auf Deutsch schon nicht zu verstehen. Da werde ich doch nicht noch ein dictionary verwenden. Die war in der vorherigen Version besser. Also bitte die Option für Sprachauswahl hinzufügen. Dann ist sie perfekt.

D70%
by D####:

Warum muss die App jetzt auf Englisch sein und man bekommt dann keine neuen Artikel? Ich habe eigentlich fast täglich gerne Artikel gelesen und jetzt kommt gar nichts mehr. Schade. Man sollte die Sprache in der App einstellen können

Z70%
by Z####:

Perfect as a new vegan. Who is tired of missing an ingredient that should have prevented a purchase. Was great in German but much easier now it supports English.

Z70%
by Z####:

Seitdem die App auf Englisch ist finde ich Produkte nicht mehr. Beispiel: http://www.codecheck.info/m/kosmetik/koerperpflege/koerpercremen_oele/ean_3600550848540/id_1915498868/Mixa_Reparierende_Bodylotion.pro Suche ich in der App nach "Mixa Bodylotion" finde ich nichts. Fehlermeldung: Product not found (invalid id) Sprachwahl wäre super.

B70%
by B####:

Ich finde es ja sehr gut, dass es die App jetzt auf englisch gibt, jedoch wäre es gut, die Sprache auch in den Einstellungen konfigurieren zu können. Seit dem Update kann man nicht mehr alle Artikel ansehen und es wimmelt noch stärker an Werbung. Das sich ein solche App damit u.a. finanziert ist mir bewusst, aber das Ausmaß finde ich übertrieben. Vor allem da Werbung auch teilweise den Text verdeckt.

Z70%
by Z####:

Die App ist Klasse aufgebaut. Übersichtlich und funktioniert, keine Abstürze. Punktabzug gibt es allerdings da sich die Sprache nicht ändern lässt - ich würde es gerne wieder auf Deutsch haben.

Z70%
by Z####:

Nach dem letzten Update sind alle Bewertungen verschwunden, das war's dann wohl, ich werde mir nicht die Mühe machen, alles neu einzugeben. Auflistung der Gütesiegel eines Produkts oft unvollständig oder irreführend (z. B. ist "Alnatura" kein Gütesiegel) ohne Möglichkeit der Änderung. Die Version ohne Werbung kostet 12(!) Euro - pro Jahr! Das ist ziemlich unverschämt.

Z70%
by Z####:

Der app war definitiv besser auf deutsch, aber sonst ist das ding ne tolle sache!

Z70%
by Z####:

Very good basics and quiet helpful too. Only there's a need of adding many more products into the database (of course that's a lot of work, so be patient)

H70%
by H####:

Jetzt plötzlich auf englisch... Wäre nett, wenn man die Sprache wählen könnte. Wenn ich deutsche Produkte checke, dann will ich auch die Inhaltsstoffe auf deutsch erklärt bekommen!

O70%
by O####:

It's a very good app for checking on the ingredients of your products. Until now I found everything I searched for so five stars!

Z70%
by Z####:

Language options would be appreciated.

E70%
by E####:

Very useful! I specially appreciate the suggestions of better alternatives and the mentioning of reliable sources for the information about the ingredients.

L70%

Erkennt nicht alle Artikel, ist aber meist sehr hilfreich beim Einkaufen.

R70%
by R####:

Awesome app to reveal what really is behind product labels. I use it mostly for body care products.

Z70%
by Z####:

The best app to find out if your product is vegan, love it

Great app that explains the ingredients and also tells where the information about the ingredients comes from.

Q70%
by Q####:

Really like it. Especially to check ingredients for my lil one.

Q70%
by Q####:

Looks good, but quite unusable for now in Finland, cannot find any products. Also there's missing translations, some are in German. So it's a No for me this time I'm afraid.

A70%
by A####:

Great app for checking your food before you buy it. Helps you to determine certain factors that you may not be able to find out while reading all the complicated words listed under ingredients.

G70%
by G####:

This app comes quite handy for checking the food I prefer... It has a large database... Awesome one... It would be preferable if an all English option is available!

Z70%
by Z####:

Love the idea but all of my products that I use none were in the database

Z70%
by Z####:

Doesn't recognize enough foods. Free version is not useful.

T70%
by T####:
