About this app

CodeCheck is your independent shopping assistant for a conscious lifestyle: Use the app to scan the barcode of cosmetics and food and find out in seconds what ingredients are included and what they mean. Protect yourself if you suffer from allergies and intolerances.

With CodeCheck, instantly see if products are vegan, vegetarian, gluten- or lactose-free, and if they contain hidden sugar or too much fat. Find out if palm oil, microplastics, or silicones are present, and whether they contain aluminum, nanoparticles, allergenic fragrances, or hormone-disrupting ingredients.

After I painstakingly added (twice) a product to the database, it's still cannot be found in results. It's been more than a week since. I'm a paid subscriber of your service and think that it's a great idea but very poorly executed.. the process of adding a new product and its ingredients to the database is completely disfunctional. I spent over an hour adding just two products. mostly correcting the shortcomings of app design. Can't save a new product, no explanation. all info added.

Very interesting.....when working! It's really difficult to rate this app. When it's up and running the information is clear and comprehensive. Unfortunately, I have huge problems getting it to work and it continually cuts out :-( Frustrating and (because of it's potential) disappointing

Completely useless...I installed this app expecting to get some more info on the products I use. Unfortunately I'm stuck on endlessly loading tabs. The app crashed as soon as I tried to scan a product. Although allowing access to my Google info, location and camera, non of the functions are loading. I sincerely hope this is a problem with the build of the app that could be resolved in an update.
