Vegan App: Is It Vegan?

[thefadedone]

Has anyone tried this? It sounds cool. Instead of spending time reading labels this app will do all the work for you.

I downloaded it last night, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet. I might go and scan some random thing in my kitchen....lol

Would it work worldwide? Or just in the US?

It does sound cool. I don't have a smartphone, though. I wonder whether it would work with an iPad.

It says it works best with US only products. I downloaded it to play with t a few days ago (seen it on FB) but I wouldn't trust it. I would still always read the ingredients.

Love the review on Play store - "It told me my Quaker Oats were a helicopter toy!".

I downloaded it anyway and tried it on some American gum I have. It's a bit pants, it tells me which ingredients are veg and which ones "may not" be vegetarian (gylcerol).... how does that help? I can use my own eyeballs to do that. I want an app that knows which products are vegan and which aren't and tells me "The gylcerol in this product is vegan" for example. The only time I look up products online is when they have questionable ingredients and the app wouldn't help with that. Its a good idea in theory but doesnt do what I'd need.

There are free apps for scanning upc symbols, and once you have that, it's easy.

I just tried it. It's fun and all and I think it would have some use, but it is annoying that it often says its not sure of a particular item. At least it raises a red flag and prompts further investigation.
