It would be nice if we could add our own (quirky) allergens. I'm allergic to Sucralose, AKA Splenda, but I'm fine with Equal & Sweet-n-Low. Also I'm allergic to Kiwi. I can't drink wine due to sulfites and wonder if "wine" were an ingredient, would that be skipped, or recognized. Also would MSG be considered a preservative? Thanks.

Could you please add more brands... Some aren't registering in the app... And some items I use/eat are off brand products. Also, would it be possible to have a new app for non food items... Like maybe supplements, medicines, and/or external use products? Me, my sister and my mom are allergic to aloe and can't use certain moisturizing products (especially when aloe is hidden deep within the ingredients) and they are allergic to other things as well...

I have a student with a rice allergy and rice is not an option under allergens. Also, it wouldn't recognize the store brand UPC. Another teacher used their app on their apple phone and it worked.

Needs options to add more allergies besides what you have. For me it is tomatoes, carrots, corn and celery. What's up with only 15 scans? I thought the app was free.

I have a severe soy allergy and this app has helped save my life more than once. I especially like the feature allowing you to specify which allergies you have which puts all the important info at the top of the ingredient list. Great job, and thank you for this app!

We just found out our 12 month old is anaphylaxis to the WHOLE egg.We were told to avoid egg in any form. While they are supposed to put allergies in common English I have found, because of this app, it can be hidden in an additional ingredients. (Pasta in soup for example that have no mention of egg) this doesn't save me from reading labels just gives me another set of "eyes" to make sure I'm not overlooking something. Someone of you might think it's common knowledge but not if you're new to this like us.

Was unable to submit what the actual allergy was. Then when I submitted my review it was edited by someone other than myself to something I didn't say as well as being identical to other people's reviews. On top of that the response was an attempt to be nice while saying we don't like you badmouthing our app. The purpose of a review is to give my opinion. Bummer if you don't like it.
