I wish it had a scanner app. Too hard to compare an ingredient list to another list

I still Love it. Soo informative

Great app

U70%
by U####:

I use it to identify if a product is vegan (because some of the ingredients are not transparent or understandable by themselves). The app uses a huge base of E's, mostly I just search for the "leaf" icon, but the descriptions are thorough and I think the whole database is very accurate.

Z70%
by Z####:

I really like this app, but I would really like to see symbols for where the additive comes from, eg animal, plant etc. It would make it much easier to use. As a vegan I need to know...can you do that? Definitely 5 stars if I could see at a glance where additives come from.

Very informative and useful, the only problem is that when I'm on an additive number and type in another number, it just goes back to the list and not the page. It's not anything major and I still love this app very much :) If that minor problem gets fixed, this would be a 5 star review :)

Gives you most of the ingredients out here in order to be well informed about the toxicity in one ingredient than the other. Great app. It just needs to keep up with the rest not mentioned if possible. But so far i recommend it to all i work with and meet.

Sometimes unresponsive when click to open new search. Too much clicking. I found a better app. - 'E Numbers' by Uaraven. Edit:. The rating of your app 'Eat Informed' compared to 'E Numbers' does not reflect my personal reception of the apps. The E Numbers app is a lot more efficient for my own personal use - it takes just two steps on my behalf - i only need to launch into the app and type my enumber. Without entering I see a symbol next to my desired enumber indicating whether it is vegan . If you please keep in mind I am using this app as a vegan, your other features such as the danger warning which may appeal to other users, are irrelevant for me personally, therefore the ease of user interface of 'E Numbers' is more ideal for me. With this app, I'm not entirely sure what all the symbols mean when I click into an additive for elaboration, nor do i understand the colouring 'type' within the 'additives list'. I will add though that I do prefer how you elaborate on what the individual addatives are in the 'Details' section. All in all, I am very happy to see apps like yours being provided, I am appreciative for your app :)

There are some names still missing, like "mononatrium-glutamat" hope you guys keep it up and continue to make good and useful app! Its easy to use and easily understandable. Sometime tough when i type in the search box my e-number it shows me the number and name im looking for, if i click on the suggestion it showes me it disappears. So i have to write my e number twice to get info about it. Hope youll get the chance to fix it :D otherwise i love the app ! Will give the app 5 ⭐ when its fixed ;3

I LOVE IT! The only problem is that if I'm on at additive page and I try to search for another the search function doesn't work (click and nothing happens). I have to go back to the main page to search. Otherwise great app and I love it. So useful

It would be great if this app could scan food items on the shelf and give a heads-up on what's lurking inside, but that's probably asking a bit too much at this stage. Good information though, and easy to use.
