Nice app to help locate and purchase Canadian products. I like the options of scanning a bar code or typing in a product with suggestions of brand names.
I love how much information this app gives on all aspects of ingredients and manufacturing locations. A lot of products have no info now, but that will improve over time. The ads are very intrusive. I understand the need for ads, but having to close full-screen popup ads after every single scan is cumbersome. It'd be much better if there was just an ad banner at the top of the screen instead of the popups. But ads aside, this is easily the best and most accurate "buy Canadian" app I've tried.
Hi Rayen. First thing: great app you have created. I tested it out, but when I went looking for help with accessibility I could not find anything, as this is a big deal for many people out there.
App works well and has detailed information about the product scanned. Unfortunately, every time I scanned a product, a Temu add or a prompt to download a different app popped up and had to be closed before you could see the information on the product. VERY ANNOYING.
This is a great idea but a horrible roll out. I had to install 4 other apps and this app still does not work. The 4 other apps are HEAVY ad based that cover 90% of your cellphone with AMERICAN ads. I am unistalling all 5 as I do not trust apps that use 90% for ads. I can not figure out why I need 2 apps for QR codes and 2 apps for PDF files (those are the 4 the app linked me to, pretty scammy or Apple user programming android). I'll keep reading labels like I have always done. BUY CANADIAN!!!
