Ethical Barcode

Just got this app but I am very happy with the time its going to save me in the grocery store! Googling the companies was time consuming and im looking forward to using this app the next time I go shopping

It needs more in it's database. I finally found things that worked, but they were less common.

After scanning it starts listing cute things that it's doing like watering the plants or faking confidence and then it says out of breath. I've tried multiple times and multiple codes it never gives me any info.

We vote every day we buy something. Help your vote improve the world. Would you scan a barcode to avoid buying a product made with slave and/or child labor? This app helps. I like how the feeds from the orgs are categorized individually as well as rolled up together.

I am just starting to explore the app, but it seems intuitive, and the concept is great; limited cataloge is a mite irritating.

Thanks Ethical Barcode for helping me be a more responsible consumer.

Looks interesting. Wondering what your data sources are - are you tied into the backend of GoodGuide for instance? Unfortunately, I cannot get the app to work. I scanned about 5-6 different products -- in each case I get a "ERROR - Server out of breath - try again in a few minutes" message. I can't rate what I can't use!

Why is "non-GMO" presented as an "ethical" category? There is nothing inherently ethical about non-GMO products. Sustainable agriculture? Yes. Non-Monsanto? Sure. But non-GMO doesn't guarantee that a product is these things, and GMO doesn't mean there's anything unethical about a product. It's just a technology afterall (and one with the potential to do a LOT of good, I might add).

It's exhausting trying to balance cost and ethics and availability while shopping. This app does make it a little easier. It just seems like the database is very limited. After scanning the items from my last grocery trip I only found two that are rated by this app. I will definitely keep using it though in the hopes that the developers are continuously adding more and more.

So glad to have found this app! Was getting seriously bogged down with doing all the research myself. Looking forward to expansion of the database to include barcodes not currently known.

Lately the scanner has been upside down, making it hard to scan anything. Also, it hasn't been able to identify products.

I love the app and what it's trying to achieve, the scanner works well too. I just wish there was an option to search a product by name as well, rather than scanning. The ability to check products other than groceries would also be great.

Maybe it works only in the US? Would certainly appreciate using this or an alternative.

Not working at all, please fix so I can be a better person.

I cant scan anything without getting an error message. please fix!

Gives an error for everything I scan.

I really like the idea of the app. A lot of the products I scan don't appear.

I am just starting to use the app but so far so good. I look forward to seeing more companies listed and more people using this app.

Makes ethical shopping decisions easier & faster.

A lot of barcodes not in there but good app

Off to a good start. I look forward to being able to make more informed choices.

It's now convenient to shop cruelty free. I'm so excited!

This seemed like an awesome app but I've only seen the home screen once, now when I open the app it is ready to scan, when I scan something, it closes. =(

I'm running gingerbread on an HTC Flyer and the text on buttons and tips rarely appears.

Love using it. Thanks! Trying to save the world!

Doesn't have everything but they seem to care about adding data as it comes. Good app!

Thank you.

Still trying it out

I very much enjoy the idea of this app and the information it provides

AMAZING

Forced me to rate it or it wouldn't work. I feel violated.

Awesome idea!

Now I can make better choices

Didnt work at all, very disappointed

Yay
