1. 1/5Stupid

   If you are blind or can't read I might understand this app. But if you are fully abled why use this app? What this app does is it scans a barcode on a product that is 2 inches away from the ingredients list and then guess what the app does, it tells you the ingredients. You have to know what you're allergic to in order to use this app. Therefore you should be able to read the ingredients on the package and figure it out yourself. I just saw another review that said "I looked up this type of food and it gave me so many options of things I could have!" Google is free people. This app, to get all of its features, is not. And, again, reading the ingredients on things that are already in your hands is also free. This app also doesn't really understand that you can be allergic to one thing and not another. I downloaded it (and then never used it because I could just read the ingredients myself) because I have food allergies and I checked off "all nuts" as an absolutely not food but since the FDA says that coconut is a tree nut (it's not) the app automatically checked it as a no. I'm not allergic to coconut. I had to go back through and check off everything involving coconut. Coconut milk, coconut shavings, coconut extract, coconut fiber, etc. And I tried searching for Salmon and it wasn't even on the list. I'm also deathly allergic to the casein protein in dairy. That means any type of dairy is a no go for me. But for some reason the app didn't check off lactose or milk solids. This is a stupid app. Read the ingredients people don't waste your time (or money) on this app.

2. 1/5Misleading and only suitable for food allergies not intolerances

   First off the app costs $60 which is pretty steep for something that’s so poorly designed. It’s pretty much useless if you’re navigating food intolerances and not food allergies. My Dr has me doing an elimination diet which involves avoiding legumes (including soybeans) and some other things. I have no food allergies and have not marked anything as an allergy. However ingredients listed in allergen statements still flag products as being unsafe for me. Even if the allergen statement is specifically saying that a product was processed in a facility free of soy and other common allergens. This causes hundreds of products to be incorrectly marked as unsafe and prevents me from being able to filter out red light items. So I paid $60 to still have to check the ingredients on every product my stores sell without being able to reliably filter anything out. I have tried working with their support. They did fix at least a couple products that were flagging for stating that they produced in an allergen free facility, so that’s something. However their solution for the other allergen flags was for me to manually change soy to flag as green or yellow light. Except that would cause it to flag incorrectly safe when it’s actually an ingredient. Their next suggestion was for me to set it up exactly how it’s already set and doesn’t work. They said they’re changing the system The so uses to be less confusing, so they know their app is functioning poorly. But they still see fit to mislead people into paying to use it.

3. 5/5Absolutely Incredible

   I’m not the kind of person to leave reviews, but I just can’t not recognize the amazing people at Fig. I’m writing this as someone from southern California after receiving an email about the support they’re providing for those struggling following the numerous fires we’ve been having. These people are genuinely so good. They’re seriously out here doing such amazing work, and they care so much about the people their app is helping. They are also constantly improving upon what is already a fantastic foundation, and every update makes the app even better and makes life so much easier. The communication and support has also been out of this world. I’ve had a lot of questions that I’ve gotten such better answers to from the folks at Fig than some of my doctors. I’ve also recommended this app to a friend of mine who has food sensitivities after they mentioned using a whole spreadsheet to track what foods they can or can’t have. I’m so happy to feel like I have more control over what I eat because all that information is in one place that’s so easy to use and navigate. Navigating low FODMAP elimination/reintroduction (especially while living on a college campus where I can’t always choose what ingredients are in my food) has felt incredibly daunting, tedious, and depressing at times, but Fig has truly been a light in the dark making things so much easier. I would absolutely love a feature to help me track FODMAP intake to make sure I’m not having too much of one trigger, but I’m so happy that this app just exists at all. Thank you so much for all you do and for how much you truly care.

4. 1/5So scammy! *update!*

   I have tried endlessly to log in to cancel. I am not using a private relay email (which they blame as a common iPhone problem). I have confirmed my email is correct, the one on my profile, and weirdly I get EVERY SINGLE EMAIL they send except when I request to cancel. There is NOWHERE to log in to your customer portal unless they privately send you a link that “expires in 30 minutes”, and apparently they won’t do it til after your trial ends and you’ve been charged for a full year (convenient that the charge is for a full year instead of monthly right?). It should be illegal to withhold links for customers to cancel when it is based on a TIME FRAME. Customer service has yet to email me back. **update** I did manage to cancel - not because of customer service, which only responded after I left a negative review - but because I found a glitch and was able to request a desktop website and change my email on file and only then did I receive the cancellation email - so its not a broken link, there MUST be some coding in effect to block the cancellation link being sent to the email that you signed up with originally. After reading some other customer reviews here, I’m shocked and even more annoyed that this is a known problem - and that erases any doubt that it is INTENTIONAL. An absolutely shameful company.

5. 5/5great for me 🪲

   The free version took me less than 10 seconds to find and get and I think it’s a really useful tool to find new food products and items that won’t kill you so if you’re anaphylactic to a bunch of different things definitely worth downloading to look for allergy friendly versions of similar items you want to try!!! 🦎 I’m anaphylactic to dairy, eggs, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, a bunch of different kinds of legumes, coconut protein, raw bananas, and sesame seeds, and something else I’m forgetting but I know it when I see it, along with being intolerant to a whole lot of other stuff that I shouldn’t eat a main one being wheat, so it can be hard looking for new things I can eat or swaps for things I can’t eat but have always wanted to since I was little but yeah this helps for me, and Idk I saw alot of the 1 star reviews say it’s hard to cancel the paid version/they couldn’t find out how to get the free version/some items and restaurants were mislabeled, but it’s really on you the person to double check things if you have intolerances and are like fourteen or older but it just seems most of the problems ppl are having are are from their own lack of digital literacy tbh…. 🦂
