Ivy: Processed Food Scanner

All apps on App Store’s should be listed in a category that states subscription based if that’s what it is. I agree with some other reviews that state. This is a waste of my time to have to answer a bunch of questions to get to the end to just find out it’s a subscription based app. I don’t have a problem with you wanting to make money based off of an app you designed, but I feel it’s way overpriced and a bit deceptive to make somebody go through all that process. If it was listed in a category on the App Store that this is a “subscription based” app I would never have downloaded it at all & wasted my time. Time to make some upgrades Apple!

I’m pretty new to the nutrition area and how to diet. That’s why I downloaded this app in the first place. I’ve seen reviews complaining about 40$, but it’s for the whole year not a month 😂😂 which is basically like 3 bucks a month if you do the math. Nowadays it’s getting hard to get some ACTUAL healthy food. I used to fall for simple marketing tricks and designs that made things look healthy at a glance. This app helped me tremendously in navigating what is real food and what’s just processed junk. Bottom line is that this app really helps you see pesticide risks, microplastics risks, and seed oils in food you may be eating on a regular basis. For me, someone who prioritizes what they put IN their body, is say 40$ is cheap for the year. But hey, take this review how you want.

I gave this app 1 star because before I could even answer the questions it was asking for a rating. Then I wasn’t even able to try the app out because it requires you to pay for a subscription beforehand this is very misleading. App Developers should register the app as a paid service app so you know there’s a cost upfront before you download the app. This is a manipulative approach to get people to use this app. Don’t advertise as trying to help consumers getting tricked by the powers that be with false advertising by “dangling” promoting useful educated information disguised as providing solutions to problems then deceitfully charge the consumer you claim to be wanting help under false pretense charging for a service that should be free. Information is free. You should NOT be gatekeeping knowledge and charging a fee for access. You are apart of the problem not the solution. #DoBetterBeBetter
