1. [R2] 2/5 · US Buyer beware. I don’t trust it.: I loved it at first. Especially since it gave “good” alternatives. However. I noticed something. The same exact product would be listed more than once. One would say ‘good’ or ‘excellent’ and the next would like say ‘bad’ or ‘poor’. The same exact product. No I don’t trust anything the app says. And I paid for the year last month so I could search. Didn’t notice th
2. [R48] 3/5 · US It’s okay: Only can scan with qr code and 80 percent of the items You want to see are healthy or not aren’t registered in the app you can’t search anything up unless you have premium which you need to pay for and all ingredients with high protein that you want to see if healthy or no are not scanned unless they’re 19 grams of protein or less
3. [R61] 1/5 · US Member price misleading: I really enjoy using Yuka and appreciate the work that goes into the app. One small suggestion: the membership page says “Pay what you want,” but the slider appears to have a minimum payment of $10/year and only allows higher amounts. The wording made me think I could choose any amount, including less than $10. Consider changing it to something like “Choose your membership
4. [R86] 1/5 · US Must pay $15 membership: Not free, $15 membership a year to join. deleting app to avoid additional charges
5. [R16] 1/5 · US Mandatory refer to unlock the app: Why do I need to refer the app to a friend in order to unlock 99% of the app. Waste of time.
6. [R40] 1/5 · US Crashes when I try to share the app with a friend: How else am I going to unlock features in the app?
7. [R335] 3/5 · GB Good but expensive: Good app although a bit greenwashed in my opinion. Also just keeps getting more and more expensive
8. [R6] 5/5 · US I love Yuka: Mi hija me paso ésta aplicación y ha sido lo mejor que me puede haber pasado, puedes chequear tus productos y saber que realmente estás pagando por lo que contiene el producto y no por una marca, se los recomiendo a todos Uds . I love YUKA
9. [R10] 5/5 · US What a great tool!: I read the ingredients on the boxes, but never really know how well an item scores until I scan it on Yuca. Thank you guys for making this available…
10. [R13] 5/5 · US Best health find!: I’m so enjoying this app. As I take my health more seriously this tool is a must have to do what I want to do and to continue building my healthier me journey.
11. [R15] 5/5 · US What a great TOOL: The YUKA App … I started with the free version but after using it so much I went for the paid subscription. It has changed how I shop for my food and later…cosmetic type items like sunscreens! The big reason for me to do a paid subscription is that I can manually search for the ratings of a particular product by hand vs needing to scan a bar code. I find if an item I am trying
12. [R4] 5/5 · US First time knowing this app: I never knew something like this and it’s so good that is not and add app like a lot much others, it gives you a range of options and prices, I love it!!
13. [R11] 5/5 · US This is app is super: This app is amazing I would definitely recommend this app. It has definitely helped others and it’s not being sold out to some companies. If I had to add one cool feature. It would be able to pick your favorited items and it picks a balance food plan for you. Maybe a member feature but I really hope yuka can add this. Anyways super good app recommend.
14. [R19] 5/5 · US Awesome: The title alone is enough but if you need more then just get the app. Changed so much on our grocery shopping, buying better products and finding out how bad some items really are. I mean I get marketing but blatant lying and misdirection, geez. Use the app every time we shop and not just for food. Makeup, health products, all of it.
15. [R36] 5/5 · US Great App!!: It is so so easy to add products to the app, and when you scan products, it tells you everything about it and is really easy to comprehend! Also, if the product rate’s poorly, it will show you recommendations that are better for you. Go download Yuka now and get the products good for you!❤️
16. [R1] 5/5 · US Got a Question?: I got an email response to my question within 24hrs!!! It was super helpful and friendly so don’t hesitate to ask a question about any product you want more information about. Love this app and their customer service!
17. [R21] 5/5 · US Fun and Easy: This app is super easy to use, and gives good information about the things you find in your house! I was impressed at how seamless adding another product to their records was, and it seems hard to skew the results.
18. [R30] 5/5 · US Be HEALTHIER without breaking the bank: Absolutely adore this app. Has helped me make real switches that are achievable and my current financial abilities and is SO FAST and easy to use
19. [R46] 5/5 · US Quick and easy!: This app is simple, convenient and very easy to use and results are quick too!
20. [R28] 5/5 · US Yuka app a must have: Just installed it a few days ago and found it to be greatly informative in choosing healthy food and personal products do your self a big favor and download this free app A very useful app
21. [R9] 1/5 · US Bad advice: Literally gave a food a 0 when the serving size literally had much lower than daily required values of fats, minerals, and sodium. Yet it gives mainstream chips 50+ for many variants when those are the worst of the worst. This app has no context for anything else you’re eating. Most things it says are bad are actually needed in moderation. Update: they responded with “we measure every
22. [R12] 2/5 · US Alright: Some of this is incorrect. It put ghee in 40s and beef hotdogs in 0. I’m no simpleton. That don’t match up
23. [R14] 1/5 · US Horrible: I scanned a few products, that it rated low… but it recommended worse products to me. It’s important to know which additives are good and bad, and this app clearly doesn’t know. 100% wouldn’t recommend
24. [R43] 5/5 · US U can’t be out in the world w out this app! So reliable!: Please make me a part of the team that scans items and can use this app at no cost because I can give a lot of information to this company. I also promote you guys on TikTok. I will never buy any beauty product or processed food item again in my life w out scanning it here first! And I will continue to help enter products that don’t scan
25. [R89] 3/5 · US Helpful but hard to contribute: It’s easy to find items and see the score. Good for seeing if a product has any issues. I get a lot of products with simple ingredients that are not registered. I was trying to add vanman’s beef tallow soap that has only four ingredients. I had to take a picture of the ingredients and the app could not validate. Very frustrating since there wasn’t another way to a
26. [R142] 1/5 · US App has not changed or improved for YEARS.: Yuka has still not changed one important issue, and overall has no difference from when I first downloaded this app. I like the simplicity, but there's so much more Yuka can do. You're not able to add items not on Yuka without scanning it; you must have the item in front of you with the barcode to scan and add it. What if I am searching things online, a
27. [R33] 5/5 · US Great App, Just Needs a Few Improvements: Could you please fix the following issues? • When the internet connection is poor, offline mode often gets stuck while trying to update. It would be helpful to add an option to skip updates so the app can still be used. • Please add features to clear all scan history with one tap and to clear the app’s cache.
28. [R415] 3/5 · GB Yuka offline: I pay for Yuka & although I find the search useful, I want to be when most shops don’t have signal. But my offline version has always been broken even with every update. When I’m on the app it starts loading offline mode & doesn’t always complete, its not a permanent feature with my app so i often run into the problem of not being able to scan things as there’s no signal & then givin
29. [R126] 3/5 · US What about allergies and skin types?: A lot of the foods that they recommend me has nuts in it and I'm allergic, that's the main reason why I ate the food that I scanned. Also they recommend me things that probably isn't made especially for sensitive skin or for teenager's skin. Half of the things I buy don't have barcodes on the actual product but on the box and guess what, I threw the box away s
30. [R202] 3/5 · US Needs an option for diabetics: This is a really nice application, but it doesn’t have a setting in food preferences for people who are on a ketogenic diet or diabetic. This is really disappointing because a lot of us need to cut out food foods that are heavy in carbohydrates.
31. [R230] 3/5 · US no Animal testing: i wish there was an option for no animal testing
