Sesame: Healthy Food Scanner

I’ve always been interested in the concept of food as medicine for some health issues I have, but have only really been implementing it very high level since getting into the nitty gritty of nutrients takes a considerable amount of time and effort. Sesame has taught me so much about the foods I’m putting into my body and has made me think of food and nutrients in a different light. I absolutely love this concept, and the app is really intuitive. Super excited about this!

Useful concept but app is essentially useless without their subscription or paid plan. I know it might be a small startup, so the fees can be justified but it's not really worth it when there are already free apps that do similar scanning. Honestly it wouldn't be a problem if they just didn't market it as a "free app" (technically true, but doesn't make sense considering you can't do anything within the app without paying). I understand the free version will always be more limited, but be honest, nobody is downloading this app to be able to scan exclusively bread and sauce (the only two types of foods you can scan without Sesame Plus). Even a one-time payment to buy the app could be worth it, I am just genuinely concerned for people paying a subscription to a grocery store app...

I love that I’m able to scan all products while I’m in the supermarket to see if they fit within my diet and my current health issues. The app is really easy to use, love that the app has the rating system to rate products within my current health issues. Love the conditioning tab on each product because when I have more than one health condition selected it can show the health benefits for each condition separately. This app has made food shopping a lot easier with my health conditions knowing what new products I can try.
