Twonko ,

Great idea but....

The first 3 items I scanned weren’t found. I uploaded the photos as requested but life is too short to spend all day doing this and I would have to do it often. The app doesn’t find most items I scan. Great idea but not well implemented enough yet. Maybe supermarkets or manufacturers should be required to maintain a database of everything they sell. Thus app will only work if nearly all (or actually all) foods are on the database.

Useless In Practice

I tried 4 items of well known UK brands all of which are very familiar to British shoppers and none were in the database. Asking each time to take photographs is expecting too much given the apps 100% failure rate. Sadly I had very high hopes of FoodSwitch and feel if it is only suitable for one particular market (US?) then it should be shown as such to avoid wasting a lot time for all concerned.
