About Edibly - Healthy Food Scanner
Find out what your food is really made of. Identify vitamins, minerals, as well as other nutrients that are good for you and eat healthier by avoiding trans fats, food preservatives, artificial sweeteners, colorants, and other unhealthy chemical food additives.
Edibly helps you eat healthy by allowing you to...
~ scan a barcode of a product off the grocery shelf to get a breakdown of its nutritional content
~ get an easy to understand list of the ingredients and their meaning
~ find out what is safe to eat and what should be avoided
~ quickly find healthier alternatives right at the supermarket
~ scan the ingredient list itself if the product is not in our database
Edibly dissects the ingredient list to help you find out what food manufacturers are hiding, including...
~ added sugar and salt
~ artificial sweeteners used in "sugar free" food
~ food coloring used to make the food look healthier
~ processed fats (trans fat and processed oils)
~ various additives and preservatives used for "fat free" food
With Edibly in your hands you can...
~ use your smartphone to be a smarter food shopper at the supermarket
~ lose weight more effectively by spotting tricks used by manufacturers to make food appear diet friendly
~ be confident in your purchases by knowing exactly what the products you buy are made of
~ have fun in the store while browsing for healthier snacks and meals for kids
~ avoid specific ingredients you have concerns about
Edibly doesn't rely on a product database, so if we don't have a particular product when you scan its barcode, you can still get all the information you need by taking a photo of the ingredient list. How cool is that?
Edibly rates the health effect of ingredients in a simple manner anyone can understand...
~ if the ingredient is believed to be unhealthy, best avoid it
~ if the food additive hasn't been extensively tested, best not risk your health and avoid it
~ if the ingredient is actual food you can grow or catch and little processing is involved, eat it!
~ no complicated algorithms you can't wrap your head around
With Edibly you don't have to rely on the marketing blasted at you by the food manufacturers, struggle with complicated diets invented by scientists that are impossible to follow, and easily spot the chemistry in your food. Edibly allows you to know what you eat and eat what you know.

I like this thing, could be better if would work. I had used with many classical store things and nothing was in data base. I dont know if this is only for US use, but here in EU you cant find nothing. SUCKS. In the name of the spirit and the good intention, will rate as a 3 star, only because there is a good intention behind. Pls let us know when this great idea would work Keep it up BR

Tried to make me install a second program. Needs a data base of food items! Listen to your users and don't just tell them what it isn't make it what they want. Lots of reviews telling you pretty much your flaw that should be a perk of the app. I dont have time to take a pictures 3 times of an ingredient list to have it tell me it wont work.

Edibly! You have so much potential to make this app an even better app, but as of now it's just an, "okay" app. Firstly, if the product is not identified, it states to take a picture of the ingredients? Correct? That is the utmost biggest flaw. It doesn't read the ingredients, I'm left having no identification of the good or bad ingredients within the food product. Secondly, you could maybe add descriptions of how particular ingredients affect the body? That'd be neat, just an idea though. (: Good luck!

I scanned a few things in my kitchen and the app said that some of them contained ingredients that I found suspect. I contacted the manufacturer and verified that some of the info in the database is not accurate. As someone with a food allergy, I can't afford to be uncertain. I added a star for the smiley faces.

Good tool to understand the mistery ingredients. Taking pictures works but not as good as the scaner. There were some ingredients that scanned that i couldn't find listed on product. Would be better if app showed better how it translated ingredients so i could learn better.

It's a good app for those that want to know what's in their food. But as a parent of a child with food allergies it doesn't give enough information.

This isn't a phenomenal app by any means. The information on each ingredient is a sparse description and score without any link to more information or even any ability to copy anything to the clipboard. I've also had absolutely no success with the "take a photo of the ingredient list" feature, and I dislike that it requires the Barcode Scanner app as a crutch. Alas, I still keep Edibly on my phone because I haven't found anything better, and the alternative would seem to be looking up individual ingredients one at a time by hand. It's a very quick (but superficial) overview of ingredients' healthfulness... by some standard which isn't fully disclosed to us. Once again, better than nothing.
