The purpose of this app is noble... But, ease of using it is simply very bad... The user experience needs serious improvements... Adding a product to the database is also time consuming and confusing, literally, you've to use all of brainpower for it... Uploaded photos gets to very low resolution and blurry... Scaning nutrition chart from round bottles when updating information doesn't work as it should support panorama mode or similar... Also, manually adding nutrients values one by one takes a lot of time and is not user-friendly in my opinion... Simply, can't be used in most cases, as most products are missing from database...

Very good, quite complete.

However, the additives are not coloured (green, red, orange, yellow...) according to their degree of harmfulness... As a result, visibility is not obvious...
