About Expiration Alarm
Expiration Alarm reminds you of the expiration dates of your products. Isn't it always annoying when you have to throw out expensive food or other products because they expired? Who hasn't forgotten about something in the fridge/freezer, put it too far in the back, and it ended up going bad? With Expiration Alarm, that will never happen to you again!
The app is completely free for you, but in time it can save you a lot of money. Just enter the Best Before date of your groceries and any other products, and you will be sure to remember them *before* they expire.
So you don't have to enter every product manually, Expiration Alarm comes with a barcode scanner for your convenience (camera required). Simply scan the product's barcode and enter its expiration date. That's all, you will now be reminded before it expires and you can already move on to the next product. To further speed up the process, there's a copying function if you have multiple products of a kind, so all you need to do is enter their expiration dates.
Expiration Alarm offers you multiple ways of reminding you of impending expiration dates. You can set it up to remind you with an alarm at a set time before it, or to silently notify you. You can also use the app's widget to always know which of your products expire soon at a glance.
The permissions which Expiration Alarm requests on your device have been chosen with great care. All permissions are necessary for its full functionality.
Just in case you still have concerns we have listed all requested permissions below, each with an explanation of why we need it.

I've tried several well known products like Coke and Yoplait yogurt and it doesn't recognize anything.

Generally works well, so i decided to support the developer by donating. Google play says payment successful, and that i can remove ads in settings, but when i try to do so it says there is a problem with my network. I contacted the developer by email as well as this review but after a month still no reply. So : DO NOT DONATE. YOU WILL LOSE YOUR MONEY AND STILL SEE ADS.

Once new products are scanned in it is a breeze to keep on top of use by dates and plan meals based on what needs to be used up

I think overall the app is great. The only major thing missing (that's why I only gave 4 stars) is the backup/restore feature so we can flash a new ROM or upgrade to a newer device without having to enter all the data again...

Would be better if you can set the alarm to go off a month before the expiry date

Suggestion...add a search by product name option and quantity option per expire date

I really loved it, you should've change the dates, here we can see only amount of months left, probably it could be better to see in days!!
