J'aime beaucoup le principe et surtout le site internet, ce qui est dommage c'est que l'application n'est pas à jour, beaucoup de produits présents, aux caractéristiques complètes sur le site, ne le sont pas sur l'application

I've used previous versions in the past but this one wouldn't let me open or create an account. And it was in French. My French wouldn't get me very far. Please fix.

I tried variations of taps. Nothing worked. The scanner was okay but products not found and with a not working camera useless. Checked camera outside of program and work just fine. Something in the program seems to be inhibiting it

Would be nice to have offline capability. the data base is only about 7 megabytes so there is no reason to store it on the device

This is s good first pass but why not allow data collection from the app? First, text entry. Next, try OCR on the label since it is printed and structured data there should be a good chance of success.

I scanned a dozen products in my pantry and none were identified. I'm guessing this is another "America is the centre of the universe" thing and there is no UK support.

This app wouldn't scan anything and it couldn't find any products in the search. Don't download wast of time and space.

Your US database really small in part because your scanner does not successfully scan. There is no feedback on your scanning process. There is no indication if I should hold the camera sideways or not. There is no indication of "hey this is working". I have the note 3 and I can confirm that my macro focus is working, I have a huge, clear image of a barcode and still could not code several items. Why are you supporting a windows app before having a fully functional android app? That makes absolutely no sense. Also I get an error message that says {"progress":0, "message":"Sync failed with error code 9","status":0} I can search the database and view previously scanned items. So there is basic connectivity. -FT

The look and feel should be adapted to match Android UI, not be an iPhone look-alike.

A nice simple app that works as stated. Although there is not a lot of product information that is due to the collaborative nature of Open Food Facts. I love the concept of Open Food Facts, it's the food equivalent of open streetmap. For anyone looking at using this app then I suggest having a look at the website as that explains more on how to get involved. This app & website has lots of potential, particularly for detailing allergy information. This is something I am definitely going to look at contributing to.
