Bobby Approved - Food Scanner App Reviews

Life changing!. My hubby introduced me to Bobby Parrish and this app, and let me tell you… we have completely changed the way we view food! In the best way possible. Now when we grocery shop, we use this app to identify cleans foods/items and albeit, we can’t always get everything 100% Bobby Approved due to accessibility for some things, but man oh man… it’s made a huge difference in our food choice and how we feel on the daily. We exclusively drink his Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein mix after we workout and it is hands down the best on the market in regards to clean ingredients AND taste. Thank you to Bobby and the team for all you do and for helping us eat clean and avoid and minimize forever chemicals/toxins in our daily products. It gives us a peace of mind that we’re investing in our health with this wonderful app.

Love Bobby. I love this app. It helps me determine what products are healthy and which are not. Bobby has done the leg work with this app. I am able to shop healthier for my family without spending hours researching each product. I can just scan the barcode and all the product’s ingredients appear and and are broken down to show the healthy and unhealthy. Thank you Bobby for all your hard work and dedication. I am truly grateful for all the information you provide to us. If it’s not Bobby approved we don’t have it!!

Amazing and sad. If anything, Bobby has exposed how awful our supermarket choices have become. He doesn’t get into anything divisive, all he does is show the consumer what is good for your body, and what isn’t. The rest is up to you to balance. The sad part is that close to everything you scan is Not Approved. It then becomes time to start digging deeper. As well, you don’t need to be wealthy to find the Approved items. They are certainly more expensive, but what you put in to anything, you always get out.

LOVE. Oh my greatness! I’m in love with the app! It takes away the concern from purchasing something with questionable ingredients! Now I wish products had UPC codes on front of the packages😋 I had been purchasing a butter alternative that was not Bobby approved but with the apps help I have found another option. I did find and item that had not been uploaded so I sent pictures of the product and ingredients in but felt guilty knowing Bobby would to stay up and research the product. It just shows the dedication and love of what he represents. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and family with us. The people with negative reviews apparently aren’t aware Bobby stated it’s a work in progress and he is trying to add and evolve the app but it takes time. Rome wasn’t built in a day🤦‍♀️and in no way does anyone have to adhere to his Keto lifestyle he offers so much useful information along with what he has chosen for himself. Take away what is useful for yourself or move along to something else. Just make the app icon Rose❣️

This app is approved!. I was a skeptic at first to download the Bobby approved app on my phone. I didn’t want to give up any of my favorite delicious, canoily junk foods. I didn’t want to make any changes to my diet (even though I really needed to). However I made the plunge to download the app. Honestly, I was so impressed on how easy it was to use the Bobby approved app. When scanning a product, the app basically tells you, “It’s crap, your better off without it, move on” or, it tells you “go ahead, it’s Bobby approved go ahead, enjoy”. This app makes it okay for you to still enjoy your favorite foods with modified choices for the greater good of your health! I’ve been vegan for 7 years and I’ve gone back and forth from junk food vegan to plant based vegan. This app literally is my saving grace, the medium between health and happiness! This app works super well in mostly any store. I use it every week in Trader Joe’s hoping I see the thumbs up sign on new products and my favorite foods!!

Genuinely love!. I really love this app. For most of my life I’ve always felt sick after eating and I didn’t know why. Then I traveled the world and seen that their foods never made me sick. I seen a video Bobby posted about things that are in our food and decided to download his app. This apps really does help me find great tasting food that doesn’t make me sick! It does take a lot of effort to have to kind of either scan everything or go to the stores that have a good amount of things that have been Bobby approved. It’s honestly worth it though.

Great! With potential. This app is such a great idea and takes the guess work out of selecting products. I don’t follow a keto diet, but it still helps to not have to google everything at the store. It has potential. A couple of suggestions: It would be helpful to know why something is not approved. A small snippet of info along with a link out to a reputable source for more info would make this app a must-have. Also, a few approved alternatives at the bottom of the screen to replace the unapproved product would be extremely useful. ( I must add, that guy with the 1 star review… I think he needs a hug the melt all the negative away.)

Duplicates & UX Terrible - Bobby UNapproved!. I’m a fan of Bobby’s educational social media that steers consumers to eat healthier. Was excited to find the app to search for the most nutritious products. HOWEVER, whomever is running the app has loaded the same products multiple times. As an example a block Parmesan a Reggiano Cheese from Costco/Kirkland is listed 31 times (yep I counted). It appears the name is either slightly misspelled or only partial identification on the title is listed. Costco shows a total of 442 products and given the many, many items listed multiple times suspect the total number of products Bobby approved is significantly less. This would be an easy UX fix (each item should have multiple search tags on it vs loading each item per tag (e.g., Parmesan a Reggiano, Parmesan, Cheese, Reggiano Cheese, Parm Cheese etc.). It would also be helpful to include search option per store. If I’m at Costco - I should be able to search the word Chicken and only Costco Bobby Approved Chicken should come up. Currently you can only search at the main page and then every stores chicken is listed? WHY??? Not sure if the app development was a “we need an app” initiative but really wasn’t thought through on the users experience. Bobby would/should not approve this app! Happy to change my rating once these items are fixed or improved to ensure the app is a useable tool.

So helpful. I love using this app. I use it every time I go to the grocery store. I’ve learned so much from Bobby - I can just look at labels and know why it isn’t “clean”. But this app makes it so easy. Just scan the product’s barcode and it will tell you good or bad. And you can see WHY it is bad for you (which ingredients). Bobby’s wife Dessi does such a great job with the app! After changing my diet based on Dr Cate Shanahan’s books (Deep Nutrition and The Fatburn Fix), Bobby’s advice is very much inline with hers. It is still good to read labels but this app really helps my shopping experience and helps me buy healthier products. Thank you so much for doing it!

Red flags when I scanned my items. The videos are convincing at first and will make you feel like you’ve been doing it all wrong, but this app raised red flags upon checking the items in my pantry and refrigerator. Lots of ingredients he vehemently opposes in his videos are in the “approved” items I had (Zevia soda has the Bobby Abhorred ~natural flavors~), and items I knew should *not* be “approved,” such as the Japanese-style peanuts that have soy sauce, multiple food colorings, and MSG in them were in there as “approved.” Meanwhile, regular cashews and pistachios in my pantry were *not approved.” Also, my multivitamin and CoQ10 supplements were “not approved.” Bertolli spaghetti sauce “not approved,” but Ragu that has identical ingredients is “approved.” You get the idea, hopefully. This whole thing is stealth marketing. Deleted app and consulting actual nutrition experts.

Search is broken and useless. Having worked in tech for 20 years optimizing and indexing search for many of them, this may be the most broken search experience I have used. The initial search works ok- but if you apply any filter or edit an existing search term- the relevance of the results drops to near zero forcing an app restart to clear it out. I have not yet tried the in-store scanner, and assume it works well based on the reviews. But if you are planning ahead at home using Search, it is nearly impossible to find results. I searched “oat milk”. The category filters don’t allow any filtering to this category as the results also contain “goat milk” and I want to only see plant based milks. So filtering does not work. If I apply any other filter , the results seem broken from that point forward and an app restart is the only way to get back to a clean search. So really , only your first time search works after opening the app. Any filtering or editing breaks search completely.

Eating Healthier made Easier. Not having this app on your phone is probably a huge mistake! If you are someone who likes eating healthy and buying quality food for home this is the app you need to have! Very easy to use, you scan any product you want to buy and the app will tell you thumbs up or down and why. It is the best app I have discovered so far. Everyone should prioritize their health and it is important to know what you are putting in your body, now more than ever. Get this app asap!!! and You are Welcome ☺️

Better than 5 stars!. I cannot begin to show my gratitude for the Bobby Approved app. I never buy anything unless I scan it first. It is a huge time saver over trying to read labels. I’m like Bobby, the print is so little on most packaging that I cannot read it. Bobby saves me so much time. The app is super easy to use and I love the fact that I can send info on a product he has not reviewed. Also, checking by Brand helps me with online shopping when I don’t have the barcode to scan. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and health for all you have done with the app. Love everything about FlavCity, Bobby, and his adorable family. Please keep up your invaluable work. You are a gem!!💎❤️

Mom to a 1yo. I literally scan everything I buy for my son before purchasing. So easy to use with quick information! It’s still a work in progress with products being updated and rated daily - so be a little patient :) I started following Bobby when I went into a keto black hole 4 years ago, but I got out of that learning so much more! The importance of reading ingredients on all labels (not just food) taught me so much & I have decided to make smarter choices with what I feed and use on my son. This app is a game changer for me to make those decisions and I love it!!

I take Bobby with me shopping all the time. If it’s not Bobby approved it doesn’t come home with me. People make fun of me because I always tell everyone…I use this brand or that brand because it’s Bobby approved. I love my app. I don’t have time to read all the ingredients and I spread the good word about Bobby all the time. At the gym at Costco, Aldi, Publix, Walmart. I’ve turned so many people on to Bobby approved and the app, his recipes. I am so grateful for the app and his shopping videos. I couldn’t live without them. Love that his whole family is engaged. If everyone would follow him we wouldn’t have all the diseases and overweight, sick people in the US. Europe laughs at us and what we allow to be added to our foods. The app and following Bobby is a must have and do if you want to be healthy.

Bobby. Bobby, I just got into your health food recommendations from my friend. I live in lake arrowhead. The San Bernardino Mountains. My husband just had open heart surgery and I want to change his diet into a more healthier diet. I’ve always tried to cook and eat healthy foods, but everything I scan at the only local market we have, Stater s market says, “Bobby disapproves “. Not your fault . I’m resorting to making homemade chicken broth, fresh vegetables, etc. But, any store bought items do not meet your criteria. I’m at a loss. I’m trying to be the good wife, but as I keep telling my husband, “I’m your wife, not the maid”. Just venting… I can do so much. I’ll just try to keep “Bobby disapproves “ at a minimum. I do appreciate your input on healthfulness. Everything out there is to our disadvantage. That’s our government! 😞. Thank you for your service. Lydia Hill

Life Changing App!. Literally in 5 months of using this app and following Bobby’s recipes from Flav City, I was able to help my husband lose 50lbs, eliminated his inflammation, eliminated his pre-diabetes test results, eliminated his high cholesterol and we’re been singing Bobby’s praises all over Arizona. Everyone has been asking “how’d you do it”… and we pull out our phones and make them download the Bobby app while telling them, “this is how”. Bobby & Dessi, our family is full of gratitude for your life’s passion, commitment and dedication to educating the world about food & wellness!!

Intentions are good. I like the the concept of this app on the surface, and the intentions are good. However, it is disorganized and not easy to use at times, especially when searching for “approved” products. There are many times you scan a product and it comes up as “not approved” but you don’t know know what ingredient(s) are the issue. This is unfortunate, as Bobby does a good job in his videos describing why certain ingredients he finds are an issue. Then you can make a decision about whether you agree or if that is important to you . There are other times when you want to search for “approved” products in a certain product category and you will see the same product not only listed multiple times, but also also as “approved” AND “not approved”. It is the same product, label, ingredients. Can be confusing for users looking for advice or want to to compare products.

“Thumbs Down”. I liked Bobby and the nutritional information he provides. However, as I continue to follow him loosely, it seems he’s become a constant advertisement and endorser. This app is a good reference, and I use it every now and then. But so very few things are “Bobby Approved”, you end up feeling like a terrible person by the end of your shopping trip. I have also found conflicting information, where the same product was both “approved” AND “not approved”! Not everyone can afford the expensive products he’s pushing, and you’re made to feel guilty, especially as a parent, for not being able to provide the very select few things he does “approve of”. What he says makes sense, and it’s good information, but not always sustainable for middle working class families. It feels like he is shaming at times for those of us who can’t afford to keep up with the foods he says are good. Getting a constant “thumbs down” can be super discouraging.

Great app!. Before this app I was spending several hours at the grocery store every week reading labels. This has saved me so much time! You just scan the barcode and wait for the product to come up. It will tell you if it is Bobby approved or not. Then it will tell you why and give you other options to buy instead if it is not approved. I love this app for the convenience and the explanations. I have learned so much from watching Flavcity videos. This app is what I was waiting for. If an item isn’t in the app, it asks you to take a picture of it and says waiting for approval. I like that I can contribute to the progress of this app.

Love the App!!. I’ve been watching Bobby for a long time and he is a very trusting source for good food products. I love the app because now I don’t have to keep lists in my phone for all the items that are Bobby Approved. I would like in the future for the app to give a reason why an item is not Bobby approved. Simple things like high sugar, bad oils, natural flavor or something along those lines. Sometimes a product isn’t Bobby Approved, but he will say its ok or not that bad. It would be nice to know those grey area products as well. And lastly the ability for a user to put some notes on a product would be nice as well.

Best food health products app on the market. I recently started using the Bobby approved food scanner app and I am absolutely loving it! This app makes it so easy to scan the barcode of any food item and quickly determine whether it meets my dietary preferences and restrictions. As someone with particular food sensitivities, this app has been a game-changer for me in helping me make informed choices when grocery shopping. I appreciate that the app provides clear and easy-to-understand information about each food item, including whether it is Bobby approved or not. The interface is user-friendly and the scanning feature is quick and reliable. I also like that I can customize my preferences within the app so that it only shows me foods that align with my dietary needs. Overall, I highly recommend the Bobby approved food scanner app to anyone who is looking to make healthier and more informed food choices. It has definitely helped me take the guesswork out of shopping for groceries and I have already noticed a positive impact on my overall health and well-being. Thank you, Bobby approved, for creating such a fantastic tool!

Review of App. This app has changed my shopping list for the better. At first it took longer to shop but after a few shopping trips I became better navigating the app. I’ve had the app for about 4 years so I know what to stay away from and what to purchase. I know there are other apps out there offering their advice. They are not easy to navigate and the information is not as thorough. Thank you for creating this amazing service for those who are interested in learning more about a healthy lifestyle. C. Chaszeyka

Life changer. I have HORRIBLE eczema. Had a breakout for almost 5 years straight that kept getting a little better and then worse again and just was a constant yo-yo but nothing was working to completely get rid of it. My mom introduced me to this app and the products that Bobby does actually approve of. At first, I started with just diet and things got worse (purging the eczema out) but then started to get better but still not enough. It seemed to sort of stable out and stay there and then my mom suggested using it for my hygiene products as well. In less then a week I have seen such a significant difference in the way it looks/feels. Biggest thing is that 4 days ago I couldn't wash my hands without at least wincing bc the soap stung (no matter how natural). The last day and a half at least it hasn't stung once and I even purposely used bad soaps to test it. This app, and Bobby, is amazing and I’m so glad I found it!!!

Just life changing. I use to spend so much money buying products I though we’re healthy and They we NOT. This app has made me recognize the good from the bad and teach me what to look for in my food choices. And this is all about choices of what I choose to buy. If I decide to choose a better alternative ir must be the real thing and I should pay for what I get. There are so many unhealthy ingredients hiding in so many of the foods we consume! Having awareness and information has been a game changes for us. I am now using the app every single time I go grocery shopping. Love the fact that the unhealthy ingredients are highlighted in red with each product I scan. Love my Bobby approved products.

Brilliant app!. I’m so happy to have stumbled upon Bobby on Instagram which led me to this app. It’s so brilliant to be able to know which products he would use in cooking. Most people simply don’t know what to look for in foods/ingredients. Even if you think you’re “healthy” (I thought I was), you’re probably eating too much added sugar, inflammatory foods, or just poor quality ingredients. Thank you for making it easier to eat healthy and teaching me important information about food. One feature that would be extremely cool to add would be the ability to like products and create a list of favorites.

I don’t shop without this app!. I was recently diagnosed with an autoimmune issue and have chosen to completely overhaul my diet. It was so tough at first to figure out what foods/ingredients are good and what are not. Then I found this little gem of an app! This app has helped me in more ways than I ever thought possible to reduce inflammatory foods, increase my knowledge on what foods I should be putting in my body and help me advocate for myself when it comes to what I choose to buy for myself and my family. Thank you for all the hard work you have put into this. It makes shopping and eating so much more enjoyable and I feel more confident that I am on a journey of healing my body. Thank you Bobby!

Love it!. I have always been a big fan of Bobby, probably because of Little Rose originally lol, but I feel like I have been watching him for years. What I really like about this app, even if it’s not BobbyApproved, you can view all of the ingredients and see what’s bad and make your decision from there. I’m not a wealthy person, so I can’t really afford to buy all the things that does, or even have it available here, but I listen to what he says. So I’d rather take something that only has “natural flavor” listed as something bad, rather than all the other things. I know his wife is the brainchild of this, and super kudos to you! You did a fantastic job, and I actually look forward to using your app in the store again. Not only did it highlight all the things to be cautious of, making it quick to spot, but I could read it. I’m getting older, and my eyes aren’t what they used to be! Some of those labels hurt and I don’t always bring reading glasses to a grocery store. So ty!!

I had to lower my rating to a three. Sorry.. Good app! It comes in handy when grocery shopping in a physical store. However, the search function does not really work well when I try to look up products when I do online shopping. I type in the name of a product and manufacture and very different things come up, or the product cannot be found. I give it five stars for barcode reading. But I give it one star for the search function. This includes products on Thrive Market (a sponsor of FlavCity that I signed up for). How can I shop online with Thrive Market if I can’t scan barcodes or use the search function correctly? Please correct this issue.

Not very consistent. I like the idea of the app and the awareness it brings to the public. While the app is user friendly, I’ve noticed a lot of inconsistency with some of the products being scanned. For example when scanned shea moisture coconut shampoo the first time it got approved but when I searched up the item it wasn’t approved; or vice versa. It has happened on more than one product. Also, I like that when an item hasn’t been approved it would tell you why by highlighting it in red. A lot of items didn’t do that. There are also times when some items are not approved because of a certain ingredient but then you scan another item that has that same ingredient and it was approved. With everything being said I still continue to use it but I don’t follow it to a T. I use the app as a guide line and a tool to educate myself. The app has taught to always carefully to read the ingredients list, do your own research, and proceed with your best judgement in mind. Thanks Bobby for bringing awareness but please fix the inconsistency.

In General. —-I love the app and I love the videos! if I have to say anything it’s that you don’t seem to cover too many of the stores up in the Northeast. You don’t cover BJ’s, and Costco is at least 45 minutes from me not including traffic. you don’t cover stop and shop or Shaw’s. but then again you don’t cover Publix down in Florida either so I understand why. those are the stores that are close to most people that’s why I mentioned it. Also you haven’t done a fast food review lately. Because of your videos when I do stop for something to eat because I’m on the road all the time. I take your advice and get the items that you say are not too bad. But McDonald’s and Taco Bell and Burger King change there menus all the time especially from two or three years ago since you’ve done .reviews . oh, and you’ve never said anything about Wendy’s salads which I tend to get all the time up here in the Boston area.

Useful and lots of potential. This app has been helpful for me at the grocery store. I also like how you can search by category (e.g., “cheese”), and it will give you an overview of what to buy and avoid in that category. This app has so much potential to be even better in the future too. One thing I would like to see is explanations for why some foods are still Bobby approved when it includes a banned ingredient. Bobby has explained in his videos why this is sometimes the case, but it would be helpful to see that explained on the app. Bobby personally approves all “Bobby approved” items in the app. Thanks Bobby for putting in so much work and providing us with this useful tool.

#bobbyshopswithme. When I was first given the Hashimoto’s diagnosis along with a few other issues, I was told I could not have gluten or dairy. I would get overwhelmed and emotional in the grocery store and left feeling so discouraged! This app has been a God sent!!! Even my kids love it and run down the isles scanning everything with the app! When they get that green up thumb, they jump up and down screaming “Bobby Approved!!!” They have scanned everything in our house including each other, some of the 4 kids apparently are “not Bobby approved!” I can’t thank you enough for this app and your videos! You have made this journey a lot easier!

Perfect. I’m so tired of having to look at the ingredients on every item when I’m at the grocery store and especially if I want to try something new it’s so hard for me to find stuff with good ingredients. So This app is absolutely perfect!!! Some items say that they are still reviewing them but that is perfectly ok because I understand this app is new still. I am super grateful for Bobby to have created this app and as well as making awesome videos explaining the ingredients and going to different stores it’s just wonderful!!

A great idea, but could use a few things…. I like how you can scan or search by item category, like dairy, or that you can search by store. There are a wide range of stores and products, and links to relevant content videos. I would love 2 things from this app: a blurb below each food on preparation or recipe ideas, even if there is not specific video content. I can imagine Bobby’s voice recommending me the fire roasted bell peppers and onions from Trader Joe’s and then giving me brief ideas, like throw it in with some beef for fajitas. 2nd, it would be great to be able to add Bobby Approved items to a list and be able to either view the list in the app or share with others that do the grocery shopping. Thanks!

Bobby cashing out, on you health and give you poor advice!. *********WARNING********** Not sure what Bobby knows about nutrition. The food network didn’t make a mistake; it sounds like Bobby is a liability. He has a degree in finance. He failed at that, so now he’s trying to be a social media star. It shows Bobby lacks fiber because he’s definitely is full of it. Maybe some prunes might help? Please ask yourself WHY does Bobby gets to give out a seal of approval. He gets money every time you use his promo code/coupons. He pays to be on shows and also pays to go to parties to be “seen” with celebrities cooks. ****Please asking your physician if a “keto” diet is right for you. If heart disease runs in your family, run the other way! Keto diets should come with a warning. It can be hazardous. He often refers to the “EWG,” an organization that fabricates its standards the majority of the time. Your tax dollars have already acted on what they “report.” The junk base EWG is just beating a dead horse to raise money. They made 10 million in revenue per year. You can eat your strawberries, kale, spinach, and potatoes. You just need to wash them. Harvard found “Organic food no more nutritious than conventionally grown food.” If you cannot get organic, don’t worry about it, ALL veggies and fruit have great nutrition!

Hope…watching and learning how to make better food choices!. I am trying to learn how to eat healthy. I have invested many hours into many of the videos. Luckily, I have all the stores he goes to pretty close to me. I have made lists and going to start meal planning soon in a food planning monthly journal. I use the FREE app often in stores to help be make better decisions. I actually have been putting items back that are not Bobby approved. My end goal is to feel better by eating healthier. I never really knew all the terrible ingredients put into food. Good luck to all and thank you for the free app.

Top Notch. Watched a load of videos then got to one that mentioned this app. Downloaded it on a busy day and didn’t really use it at first but we’ve become fanatical about it recently; checking everything in the house. We were surprised to find some of our favorite brands to be on the naughty list. We love the highlighting of ingredients that are not good and there are even links to the videos explaining why. Got to get into the habit of using it in the store (and so many stores and items are covered). Thank you for all the work you’ve done!

Bobby Flav ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Wowza! I can’t even begin to describe how much I truly admire and love Bobby Parish. At the age of 42 (I’m 46) I had a bad gut and some serious health issues. I began to search for answers. Started watching Bobby on Instagram and You Tube. Love his gun approach to figuring out bad from good ingredients. He is such a “Positive Pete” about it all. Once I downloaded the APP I became obsessed. And guess what?! My gut slowly became calm and happy. I have less flare ups (when I eat certain inflammatory foods my stomach rages). I have told about 10 friends about the APP. And often when they hear about me eating something not as healthy (I mean I can’t eat clean all the time) they ask with a certain playfulness…”IS IT BOBBY APPROVED?” My friends know I'm your #1 FAN. Thank you 🙏🏻 for the work you have done. Love this APP. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow!. I have never seen such a well designed app ever! “Bobby Approved” is amazing. You just open the app and touch the scan button. Point your phone at the barcode on the product in question and it tells you whether it is BobbyApproved or not, AND why it is not approved. How fab is that! This totally helps me purchase the best food to eat. He makes it so simple. I am still amazed at its perfect design. The database of products is huge! This is a must have if you need help picking the absolute best food to eat. Also a great learning tool since it tells you why something is not “BobbyApproved.” Get it today!!!!

Not sure why its so highly rated. This seems to mostly be promoting brands he’s invested in. The search doesnt work right. I tried scanning an item and it said bobby approved. Then when searching the same item it didnt show up on the list. And it was a mixed bag on whether or not items from that brand were approved or not. So i look at them closer. The ones approved highlight ingredients that are bad even though it says approved… then others that are not approved highlight the same exact ingredients. No more and no less than the other that was approved. So why was it approved with one product and not the other? It took me only a moment with this app to figure that out i cant figure why this app would otherwise be so highly rated unless people arent bothering to look into why these items are not approved. Theyre just blindly trusting it. You should never do that.

BEST app!!. I downloaded this app and started scanning items in my house. Turns out the only bobby approved item I had was the Simply Orange orange juice. Things that were advertised as being healthy/good for you like Nature’s Bakery fig bars, Quest protein chips, and Robert Irvine’s Fit Crunch high protein baked bars were NOT bobby approved. I can’t afford to throw out all this food but going forward, whenever I get groceries, I’m scanning things at the store and if it’s not bobby approved it’s not going in my cart. I love this app and I love the recommendations when items are not bobby approved. Thank you so much Bobby for changing the way I’m eating and educating me along the way!!

Everyone needs this app!. Amazing app! What a genius idea and the fact that Bobby and his family takes the time to do this and for free so that we can all make better choices is wonderful!. Imagine if everyone used this app each time we go grocery shopping? We would have so many more better and healthier options at stores because people would stop buying the other stuff and retailers wouldn’t have any other choice but to sell healthier options. Thank you for everything you do!!!

Love it, except one big thing. I am a huge fan of Bobby’s app and socials. He has helped my family and I to live and eat more cleanly. I use the app constantly when I’m shopping or looking for information about all kinds of products. The only problem is that the app does not cross reference its own content properly. I’m not sure how that gets fixed, whether it’s a database or AI or what, but there are things that show up twice (or more) - some that are unrelated - and there are things that are in the app that don’t show up in searches. If that could be fixed to make everything more consistent, this would be perfect!

Love It!!. I absolutely love this app! It takes the stress out of grocery shopping and makes things go so much quicker! The only thing I wish we could change is being able to search for certain items under the store that you click on. Ie: clicking on the Costco icon and being able to search cereal or salmon or whatever and it only pulls up stuff sold at Costco. Also, it would be awesome if you could click on the approved items under the general search and it show you where you could buy it. 10/10 would recommend, thank you for making this!!

Truly appreciate this app. Super amazing app! My son and daughter have some diet changes that needed to be I implanted and this app went above and beyond! I scan everything! Now I know what is going in our bodies and if what we were using was not “Bobby approved “ they have suggested healthier options to look into. I always read ingredients now, but I don’t always know what they are. Don’t worry!! They have a section in the app to help you understand how to read ingredients! Good, bad and color coated. Super easy to use and understand. Highly, HIGHLY recommend

Feels like I’m shopping with Bobby. I am constantly opening my Bobby approved app when I’m in the grocery store or one of my parents buys something that looks like it’s probably not good. The app is very user friendly and you can navigate easily. One things that has shown me some problems is the search feature, that can be tricky sometimes when looking for something and it doesn’t show up but then you delete the search and it shows up under brands and then it works. Overall experience is worth 5+ stars. So many great deals on there like seed that I got turned onto from Bobby and especially thieve market. Worth a download and go scan everything in your house haha because you will be surprised to see what is harmful. I think I can proudly say everything that I use like food items or personal care products or even soaps and detergents are completely Bobby approved thanks to the app and Bobby teaching you what is worthy of being in your body and what to always avoid. THANK YOU Bobby for your amazing app and hard work and please continue to do what you do. You have inspired me to be just like you one day when I grow up and now going to studying public health at college!

An Authoritarian Dictator’s Approach to Healthy Eating. Imagine if a single person made a decision about every ingredient in your food and whether or not if was healthy for you. Then imagine if that person used generative AI to review food labels and determine whether or not an item was “approved” with little oversight or quality control. Then imagine if pretty much every food you shopped for were listed as “not approved” with no acceptable alternates or recommendations provided. Finally, imagine being funneled to products that are also created by the same app developer. That is this app in a nutshell. I get the stay away from processed ingredients and sugars. But why things like egg whites and certified organic gluten free oats are listed as non approved ingredients are beyond me. This app causes more disruption than good. Instead of just stating problems, trying identifying objective solutions or alternates to the problem.

Huge Help. EDIT: I'm adjusting my original score up because I've found that there has been a degree of subjectivity added to the ratings. Additionally, as I've become more knowledgeable of Bobby's values, I understand the recommendations at a deeper level. The only things that I feel are still negatives are that many items are incorrect or out of date and since the nutrition facts of each product are not reviewed, there is still a great amount of subjectivity that cannot be achieved. For example, many products list "sugar" as an ingredient but don't even have 1g per serving. That food is likely Bobby Approved but the app will usually say it's not. That being said, the app goes way beyond what I would expect for the price (FREE). Just know that you'll trade analyzing food labels for analyzing Bobby recommendations. 👍 ORIGINAL: I'm a Bobby fan and was excited to use this app but it has turned out to be mostly useless. The problem is that items are either Approved or Not Approved. There is no in-between. The result is that nearly everything that you scan in Not Approved. Bobby's videos are more forgiving. He'll often times recommend items that aren't organic but are still healthy. I wish this app provided item ratings (scaled 1-5) instead of 👍👎.

Best app that you ever downloaded in your life for your life.. The best app you can download for you and your family and if you buy anything by this app you will live longer your kids will live longer and healthier and you never get one of those weird diseases at least because of the food. God bless Boby, and hopefully, all of America one day, know him and just buy stuff that he proves.

Healthy eating. I have learned many things from watching Bobbies videos Thankyou Thankyou you have truly helped me with eating a lot healthier.

Can’t wait till it’s up to date !. The makings of a great App ! A lot of products are not recognized though . Wish it would suggest more Costco alternatives as Bobby does in real life ! Can’t wait until this app is up and running like Yuka because this app will definitely become my number one

Best app ever … super helpful. I would like to say thanks to bobby to gives us the better option to be healthy and more but I should mention that I live in Toronto Canada when ever I put items to review I don’t get any answers back if you would have any tips for me at this point just let me know please I will be more happy to fallow… thanks again your bobby app is the best … and I appreciate your hard work …

Evidence based scientific approach needed. I downloaded this app to see what the hype was about. It was very disappointing to see a lack of evidence and scientific approach to its logic. Also, it appears to be selling you products too…

Review. So much healthy and helpful information….maybe identify gluten-free when you can.

Why are some products not approved?. I really like this app and appreciate all the work and effort. My only complaint is that I would like an explanation as to why some products are not approved.

Christine in Vancouver. I love this app, my son was 18 when he got me onto this, smartest invention ever Thank you Bobbi!!🙏😊

Incredible app. Wow what an amazing app this has helped me make better and healthy choices for my family and learning what’s really in our food and eliminating out the bad things, knowing what I’m eating feels good! 5 stars thank you bobby for this incredible app!

Great. What an amazing app the best on the market very easy to use and you can search anything your looking for.

The Best App. Thank you so much for your hard work. This App is so amazing and helping me and my family. I am the one just are buying Boby approved. Thank you

I love this app!!!. Thanks Bobby for this app and all your work! Love it!

Not accurate. The App sometimes gives for the same item it’s bad sometimes it’s good and a lot of products with under reviews or the App can’t recognize them

Bobby approved App. Thanks Bobby, I love the App, it is great and takes the guess work out for us when we are shopping! It’s great! Love it. N. Wiebe Canada🇨🇦🇨🇦

Thanks Bobby. I have been using the app since it first started. I have learned to deal with the Canadian issues with foods changing ingredients from us to cdn. Great tool.

Love this app, so useful, helpful and handy!. I’ve had to do a workaround as my most frequented local grocery store seems to have this app blocked. Screen shots and Bobby’s in-depth knowledge freely given have helped me make better choices. Thankyou!

Super App from Superman. Excellent app use it every day thanks, Bobby!

The Absolute Best APP !. If you are not using this to scan items at the grocery store, what are you waiting for? I have dramatically reduced harmful food and products. I only buy Bobby approved ! I have also moved on to scanning cleaning products in an effort to have a toxic free home. Run Forest Run!!

Review. Excellent ap. I would really like more info on why some products specifically got rejected but I realize this would be extremely difficult. For example Panda licorice Please keep up the excellent work. As RFK junior said “The most profitable thing in the US is a sick kid”

Amazing !. Life saver! This app is helping soo many people live a healthier and longer life !! 😂😂

Under review. I like this app but I wish it didn’t take so long for items to be approved or not. Also when items are not approved I noticed the selection that you suggest are ones we don’t get here in Canada

Healthy choices. So helpful, great to learn the harmful things in labels , making a person more aware of choices

Little support. App is not actively managed. Submitted products almost half a year ago and still “under review” from their team for a rating. App Store at the time of writing this shows their last app update/revision was over four months ago

Problematic. The problem with this app is that it doesn’t actually pin-point the issue. Apps like Yuka (although admittedly biased) tell you what’s in it specifically that makes said food/product undesirable. They use scientific data and research to back it up. This app however, has a strange layout where it feels like simply an opinion of one man…so…

Love how many Canadian foods are included on this APP. I am always amazed when I fine items that are made in Canada that I don’t expect to be on this app BUT yes they are or they are under review. I pretty much scan everything before it hits the self! Thanks to your amazing team! Big hugs to Rose Honey!

Very informative app. Love the app. I live in Canada and find that most of the things I scan are on the app.

The best app. Bobby your the best! I don’t use or buy anything without checking with you first! 😊

Patiently waiting. Honestly, this app is really really amazing. It’s helped me buy better products and get informed. However, I have scanned a few products in the very beginning when you launched this and I’m still awaiting a review. it’s very frustrating because you’re doing other things but you’re not looking into the products that I’ve been patiently waiting for. why is it taking so long?

Making better choices. I thought I was choosing healthy and ethical foods until I used Bobby’s app. Now I’m Making even better choices. My boyfriend is American but I’m in Canada so it’s great when I shop at Auldi.

Love it. I really like this app, it's way better than yuka, my only thing is that I wish you could be able to make more lists.

Not educational. I live the app, but everytime I scanned a not Bobby approved item I would like to know why it isn’t so I know better our to read the ingredients.

Still waiting. Many items I have scanned are under review and have been under review for a year or more. even with submitting a photo of the product.

Misinformation about food.. Misinformation about food. Most of the things you scan are misinforming the consumer.

Not working in Canada. Useless ..

Best app for healthy choices.. I use the app everytime i do my grocery. Perfect guide. Easy to use. I like the offered propositions when it’s not BB approved.

So helpful!. Thank you for this app! It is so helpful to have this resource when shopping!

Canadian Products Please. Good app, but unfortunately you need Canadian products in here.

Meh. Meh... it's just a tool to get people to buy brands that he is invested in...!

Great app for healthy lifestyle! Recommended. If you would like to know if the ingredients of your food is healthy and good for you, download this app. Easy to use. Just scan the bar code of a product and tada ! You’ll see if it’s Bobby approved or not (and why). I have changed my diet since following FlavCity. Thanks Bobby for helping us put the right stuff in our body. To a long life ! Regards.

Canada. Wish we can use the app in Canada

Great Need focus on updating this For stores across North America & Canada. Need focus on updating this For stores across North America & Canada. Like when in costco canada most items i scan couldn’t find on app.

Super helpful. Thanks Bobby, love your channel! If you can review more Canadian products would be great too 😊🙏

Very helpful. I use this app a lot to make decisions on my food purchases. I’m in Canada and it has a pretty decent amount of Canadian food on it. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was because I would love to see more foods on it. I know bobby is always adding more and it is appreciated. I love that it saves previous scans so I can look back when I forget!

Really helpful resource. Thanks to Bobby and Desi, the guess work is removed from shopping for healthy food. If the item isn’t on Bobby’s app, you can add it for future addition, once the Flavcity team has researched it. I think this app is gold 😎

Thanks. Thank you Bobby for the Bobby approved app I never shop without it and it made me much happier and healthier person Thanks Maggie

Canadian products. I wish there was more Bobby Approved available in Canada.

App not working in Canada. Why doesn't the app work in Canada on the local cell provider?

Amazing App. Thanks Bobby love your app. I’ve learn so much

Useless. Can’t recognize 90% of products scanned.

Good Idea, Poorly Executed. When doing a free search for a product they can be difficult to find using key words. I’ve seen items repeated one approved one not, for the same item! Ever spring dish soap was one of these. If the item is not approved you’re supposed to receive suggestions below for what is. I looked up a pancake mix that was not approved and below it gave me chocolate suggestions? Some items also say not approved, but do not have the ingredients listed/highlighted to give details. There should also be an option to submit products for review that cannot be located in the database. Overall, it needs work.

🤔. I would like to give it a 5. This is what I’m experiencing, when trying to save the items that I scan or search it just SPINS😳😔I deleted the app twice in hope to come back in. I have an account and yet it still will not save as it gives you an option to hit the star at the top right corner and or save the items that I searched to a shopping list it does not save my list or searches. Kind of disappointed

Great but room for improvement. I like the app and think the concept is great. I wish it gave you information about why something isn’t approved when you scan or search for it. It would also be great if it had links straight to where you could buy products that are approved instead of leaving the app and trying to search for it. Some of the photos are hard to see and not every description includes the name of the product so finding products on other sites or in store are difficult sometimes. Over all I really like it but there is room for improvement.

Love you and your family. I go to the store I tell everyone about you my grandkids follow you 10 grand sons 2 granddaughters I’m 74 years old have 4 daughters and 2 sons and of course a wonderful husband of 54 years we try to be healthy follow your advice please don’t stop what you are going we love Rosie 🥰 my family has your cook books love your advice some people do not know who you are but before I leave the store I’m helping them get on your app thanks for what you do 🤗🤗🤗

This Is the #1 app of all time!. If I could only have one app, this is the one! It’s helped me make better choices at the grocery store. Also saves me so much time, I don’t have to stand in the store for hours reading every label and dissecting the ingredients list. Bobby doesn’t all that for me. Funny side note. In our home we joke around calling Bobby moms “real husband” bc if Bobby’s says it, we listen. lol. Thank you Bobby, family and team. You guys are making a difference and truly saving lives.

Like Having Bobby in Your Pocket. My hubby and I actually have a good time at the store scanning products to see if they’re “Bobby Approved”. Bobby Parrish has changed our lives forever simply by reading food labels, knowing what to look for and avoid when making food choices. He’s so generous with sharing his knowledge and we’re so grateful to be eating healthy and discovering fun recipes to make. Breakfast favs are Quinoa Bowl with fruit & homemade granola and Base Culture Cinnamon Raisin Bread French Toast. You need this app in your life!

Best food app!!!. I love this app because in the beginning of my cleaning up our food journey I used this as my bible. It’s helped me learn how to read a label on my own and identify if it’s okay or not (I still need the app here and there though) which really takes the guess work out since all the bad ingredients are listed on here and why they are bad. It may seem overwhelming at first but take it day by day and know you can’t be perfect 24/7 but you can try for the 80/20 rule! Thank you Bobby!

I Use This App A Lot. This app has helped me make so many healthier choices that I just know has contributed to me being able to live a healthier life. Sometimes I can’t even read the ingredients on packages because the wording is too small or transparent. But all I have to do is point the scanner at the barcode and know if Im making the right choice. If you care about what you’re putting in your body you need this app.

Always shop with Bobby. An asset on my phone. Have it as a permanent app. Anytime I find myself questioning a food product, I open my Bobby Approved App. Bad ingredients are highlighted and alternative food items are suggested. The app works great - doesn’t crash and food items that are unique to where I live are sometimes found and under review. I always revert to this app. I also follow FLAVCITY to hear the why’s and alternatives to better foods for myself. Great shopping companion-

Awesome Tool. I don’t find Bobby preachy or forcing a food lifestyle on anyone. Videos and his App. Are tools for us to make better informed decisions of what to put into our bodies. I wasn’t aware that so much junk was in our foods today. Researching I found studies that showed my fathers generation ( he’s 85 and in great health):had real food that wasn’t loaded with chemicals and were actually healthier people. We have to many products competing with one another and most products are junk. I love this App to help me to make informed decisions.

Wonderful app. I love the app and I love that it’s free just going through breast cancer, It’s nice to see that I can find a way to get healthier options without having to pay a fortune. it’s also nice that there’s several different stores that I can pick from depending on where I’m shopping that week. Thank you, Bobby for making something so nice to help people get healthier options and you’re making it free so people can really try to get healthy at a cheaper price.

Transform Your Weight Loss Journey with BobbyApproved!. I've been using the BobbyApproved app and absolutely love it! It helps me be mindful of what I'm eating and guides me to choose foods that support my health instead of the opposite. I'm pleasantly surprised to find detailed information on a variety of products, including many from my local Asian store. This app has made it so much easier to make informed decisions about my food intake and stay on track with my health goals. Highly recommend!

Super helpful for those with MSG issues. I have issues with foods high in free glutamic acid and this app makes it easy to identify those foods. I had memorized the list of 60 or so ingredients commonly added to food to increase free glutamic acid so this app helps that cause and can be used by my wife when shopping when in doubt about a product. Many poo poo MSG allergies and it’s nice to see someone who realizes that just because something can occur naturally in real food does not mean it’s ok in it’s artificial, weaponized version.

Just what you need. This happy takes the guess work out of finding food that’s is right for you and your family!! I’m always on the hunt to make my grocery shopping purposeful and full of healthy but tasty items. With this app the barcode scanner saves me the time of looking through each ingredient and also list alternatives. I couldn’t wait for the app to launch and now that I have it I just can’t do without it

One day it’s Bobby approved the next it’s not. I was very excited about this and was using this faithfully. Because I’m on it a lot, I start to remember what is approved and what is not. I’m becoming very frustrated because I’ve noticed that many things that were once Bobby approved on this app a couple of months later they are not!!!!! I’m not sure if his team is not on the same page but I can name three things that were once approved and now not! The ingredients remained the same! It’s super frustrating and I’ve thought about not using it anymore. To the team please make this easier for the consumer by being on the same page.

Love FlavCity and this app!. I have been following FlavCity and IG for a while now and have learned SO much about the ingredients in things that I eat. In January, I was diagnosed with MS and I really started to pay attention to the things I was consuming. While I feel I have a good amount of knowledge when it comes to eating clean, whole foods these days, I have used this app for things I don’t quite yet know about. I would highly recommend this app to anyone who is looking to feed themselves better to live a healthier, happy life!

Somewhat useless. I like the app but only because it literally tells you the type of ingredients something has and how bad it’s for you which I do appreciate, but to be honest. Literally everything I scan is not Bobby approved unless it’s organic. I scanned Cheerios Oat crunch and it’s not approved. The brand itself advertises that the cereal is good for you and your heart but then on the app it tell you that the oats need to be organic and or it has sunflower oil and corn starch. You’re just better off buying strictly organic. If you’re someone who just buys organic products you won’t need this app.

Bobby Approved Time Saver!. The app is so easy to use! Just scan the barcode and find the info you need quickly to make purchase decisions. What I thought was a good product only ended up being not good for reasons I had forgotten about! So much to remember to eat healthy and clean in the aisles at the grocery store. Even stores that claim to be healthy carry not so healthy products! So instead of reading every label, use the Bobby Approved app to literally save your life! You are what you eat!

Really great!. I have recommended this app to everyone! It takes all the guess work out of choosing healthy food products. I love i don’t have to spend so much time reading and searching for the bad ingredients! So time consuming! Now i don’t have to! Plus the app gives you a better choice when it is not Bobby Approved! There were a few times the ingredient did not show up but not too many! I can see the app just getting better and better!!! YAY!

Ingredients. Thank you Bobby for this wonderful app!!!! So useful and helpful! Explaining what the ingredients actually are and how they affect the body! I definitely use it EVERY TIME I SHOP! I even have my son and daughter using it as well!!!!!!! Thank you and I will continue to follow and support you!!!!! I also purchased 2 of your books! Love them as well. I have emptied all my kitchen cabinets and started from scratch! No processed foods or sugar!! Fruits, veggies and monkfruit sweeteners!And Rose is sooo funny and smart!!!!!!

Shopping Buddy. I’ve become a better well-informed shopper! I love the fact that I could just quickly scan an item and help determine whether I should be buying it. So many things I’ve purchased, thinking I’m doing good for my body and come to find out their ingredients is no bueno as I was not aware of or I didn’t know what to look for. Bobby and his team have done all the work for us making it a seamless experience while shopping!

Great app for clean eating. I love this app! Use it all the time to quickly figure out if a food product is clean, and if not, why it’s not. Super user friendly, just scan and learn. You can learn about items added to foods and why they are/are not healthy for you. If the product isn’t researched yet, the app allows you to send a message to Bobby, the creator, and he looks over ingredients and adds it to the database. You can browse stores, brands and food ingredients. Highly recommend this app to anyone wanting to eat clean.

I Didn’t Realize. I didn’t know it’s so much ingredients inside our products we buy that is not good for us .. been buying most of them for years without paying attention to ingredients added.. I care more about my health now.. I like the fact that this app tells you what they consider is not good for you and also breaks down why each one was chosen.. Glad I got this app.. it’ll be hard truthfully stopping a lot of these products I’m use to but my journey to good health is starting

3/5. I think it will get better with time, but there needs to be a little more work out into the app. Ex: I scanned shredded cheese, and it said it isn’t approved because of milk. Or another one is I scanned the seaweed but couldn’t even tell me why it is bad. Another product I scanned said it was bad because it had organic dried cane sugar, which I think would be approved wouldn’t it? So I think a lot of these products I’m scanning need to be updated, and maybe given a little more reasoning why it is unhealthy. In the future I could see this app getting restraunt foods on it and also maybe have recipes that you can make.

Best APP ever. Ok, I never ever write reviews for Apps, but I swear this APP is everything I’ve been wanting in my life. Makes shopping sooo much easier. Thank you for this App, Bobby! I’m slowly but surely making my way to a better and healthier living and this app really makes it so easy to just scan or search Bobby Approved items. Yay. Love it. I also love how items that are not approved, tell you what ingredients are bad. This helps me understand more about what ingredients to avoid when shopping!

Invaluable. This makes shopping so much easier! I no longer have to read the ingredients because Bobby already did that for me! I’ve learned “natural flavors “ aren’t necessarily natural. Also, the Keto label on foods doesn’t always mean healthy. I’ve watched numerous videos by Bobby and not only have I learned tons from him I trust him on his Bobby Approved items! I’ve bought two cookbooks for cooking with clean food. This is especially important to me since I am a breast cancer survivor.

Make it better. you need to have a professional company with this app. Yes it’s a free app, but it really is not very professional.. The photos are embarrassing.. you should be able to click on the photo and blow it up so you can see it. All I see is a blurry photo with someone’s hand on the side.. ????? Even if I zoom it on my iPhone. You still cannot read it mostly. Not everyone has great vision.. it’s time to stop doing the homegrown fix on this app and make it professional. Even if you have to sell ads.! And I’m not sure but I think I was searching for protein bars and a lot of them are not protein bars.

By far, best app around. This app is the best! Thank you Bobby for making such an incredible and useful up that’s so easy to use! Spreading your knowledge and passion for healthy foods is amazing. I honestly never know how bad the food that I was eating and serving to my family is so bad for us, but this makes it so fun and easy to want to shops for healthier choices. My 9 year old son loves this app too and it makes shopping with him fun. We’re only buying Bobby approved foods and it feels amazing creating these great habits for my boys

Dream come true!. Bobby, thank you for the time and energy you put into making healthier eating easier when shopping! This is such a game changer for my family! I truly love your app and all the information that is available for a healthier lifestyle. As of two weeks of using your app, I am down seven pounds and feeling so much better. Your efforts are going to change lives of many families. Thanks again Bobby!

An easy initial screening for non-harmful food. This app is a great catch all. It has every item in the grocery store, and lists every single ingredient.. and the ingredients that are bad are hi lighted in red- and it provides an explanation of WHY it’s bad, and what the alternative should be. It’s Tailored to healthy diet… nothing too specific. So, not EVERY Bobby approved item is something I can eat, but EVERY Bobby disapproved item is for sure something we all should stay away from. Whatever your diet is, this app is helpful, and so are his videos. He’s a great nutritionist.

Thank you. I appreciate this app and all the hard work that goes into it. I am so glad that I found it because it goes along with how we were trying to eat and now I don’t have to try to read that tiny print on items in the grocery store. My husband and I both have the app and scan all of our items before they go in the cart. Thanks again and keep up the good work. Look forward to the items that are under review.

Useful information!. I have learned a lot from Bobby’s analysis of many products which initiated from his visits to grocery stores on his channel. Wondering why Costco’s Autumn Gold granola not included on app as it has been a staple at Costco. Also he has approved items that contain erythritol which under preliminary research has shown red cells clotting with not that many grams of the sugar alcohol under a microscope. Perhaps there is a conflict of interest but we certainly should not wait for our agencies to take some products off the market. Unfortunately the food industry had invested millions of dollars using erythritol.

Shopping made Fun with BobbyApproved APP. Absolutely the best ! Both my husband and I have the BobbyApproved app on our phones so it’s very easy to check the ingredients while shopping . Highlighting the “ bad “ ingredients in “red” is a big help in learning what to stay away from . This has made us so much more aware of what we are buying and putting in our bodies . It’s easy and VERY informative . I recently hooked my sister onto it during a Costco shopping trip ! She loves it and now tells me , “ it’s Bobby approved !”

Big thumbs up. I use this app all the time when I’m at the store. There are some many different things that go into food and supplements these days, having an app like this that helps know what’s good and bad really makes a difference. Plus not to mention saves time from me sitting reading the ingredients for half hour on each item then looking them up on google. Only thing I would ask to add is on the supplement brief summary on health benefits for it. Love this app wish I had it years ago. 👍

[Citation Needed]. Some of these reviews are useful when truly awful ingredients are in products, but some ingredients are stated to have effects that aren’t exactly proven… yet. For example, Great Value’s Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk is unapproved due to its inclusion of a vague vanilla flavoring and Carrageenan. While some studies have found limited evidence of inflammation caused by heavy carrageenan consumption, it’s not conclusive enough to ban the ingredient entirely! Most of the studies I could find were either review papers, or ended up being really skittish. In general, an “approve/disapprove” system contributes heavily to the app’s ease of use, but also makes it hard to find “good enough” products. Almond milk doesn’t contain enough harmful additives for a full disapprove, but has some ingredients that may be slightly harmful. The app would be great with a “green, orange, red” system, where orange products are those which folks should keep caution around. Almond milk should be an orange - it’d make this app completely worth it! ☺️🍊

Eye opener to what they put in our foods. I’ve been watching your for a couple years. I have known for years they have been poisoning society and fooling us. But when you point out the ingredients and tell us what these horrible man made ingredients do to us. Reality sets in and you have more of an awareness and now this is where we need to make our healthy choices for our family. Thank you for all your hard work with everything you do. Thank you!! Jovanna

why do you care what Bobby approves??. I’ve followed Bobby on social media. He seems like a nice enough guy, has a sweet kid, and provides some good recipes once in a while. But he’s not a nutritionist or registered dietician or anyone with a hint of scientific knowledge about what foods should be “approved” and what shouldn’t. He regularly calls things “highly toxic” and bad for you without any proof or evidence based data to back it up. I’m just as qualified to tell you what to eat as he is. So it makes me kind of sad that there are people out there following him like a cult leader seeking for his approval in what to eat! I did download the app to see if he gives any more information on why certain things are approved and others are not. Sadly, he does not. There’s just a bunch of items in red with the rather childish explanation that it’s “really bad stuff”. I hope people will learn to do their own research and follow science instead of deciding what to eat based on what a random influencer on the Internet says. Good/reliable information is out there, people! The Bobby Approved app is simply not it.

Useful and Educational!. This app is truly wonderful. I love being able to scan new items that I haven’t purchased before, and get an instant result to see if it’s “Bobby approved” or not. Makes healthy shopping a breeze, and it’s also educational. Love the feature that allows you to swipe up and see which ingredients are bad or not approved so you can avoid them in other future purchases, and also understand WHY that item isn’t approved. It’s actually pretty fun to scan things and learn about them 🤓

Incredible App. This is just a genius app! I’m so happy to not have to sit there and go package to package reading ingredients. This saves me so much time & I didn’t buy about 15 things at Costco today that I would have bought without reading ingredients - it’s hard to shop with toddlers & do it all. I hate wasting money & this app really helps with that! I would love to see more home products on here including sunscreens, etc. - with time I know they are coming! Thank you Bobby & your team for all the hard work to make this happen!

Change your shopping/eating. I have been amazed when scanning food I used to by how bad the ingredients were. I am also impressed to find alternatives that are not only healthier but in most cases superior in taste. We can change what we put in our bodies and we can change the way our family and friends eat. My daughter in law recommended this app to us and I have showed this app to hundreds of family and friends.

Better choices. The app it just helps me make better choices as I’m in the grocery store and by the way it works in almost every grocery store. I scan an item when I’m wondering, looks OK it sure enough it may not be approved. I feel like I just am making healthier choices with the health of the app, sometimes I like to challenge it and I say I’m gonna find five items that are good usually, I’ll only get two out of three. I’m always missed something.

Great resource. Some might say Bobby’s too picky. But we need that side of the barometer to help us make our choices. For example, Betty Lou healthy snack bars. There’s a lot of them that we really like. So when he didn’t approve of the stabilized bar, it was because of the milk. It was just random milk listed. Bobby prefers Grass Fed whey protein so he’s very picky but that’s OK. I still like that product because that’s not a big offender to me in the long run and I appreciate how thorough this site is!!

Love it!. I use this app all the time now while shopping. It’s the best thing ever. I’ve avoided wasting money on products I shouldn’t be buying for months now and have gotten healthier because of it. I especially love the feature where I can look up ingredients. There’s always something on a label I’ve never heard of before and I can find it alphabetically and see if it’s on the good or bad list and why it is. This is the best thing ever. Definitely download it and thank Bobby for helping us be healthy!

Best App Ever!. I love this App! At my age, this is a lot for my brain to re-learn all this information but I’m willing to try. This takes a little longer but well worth it. I sure do appreciate your kindness because there is someone out there trying to get $1,997. when this is exactly what you have done with this App!! Again, thank you Bobby, unfortunately almost everything in my house in not Bobby Approved 😬 I’m going to change that real quick!

User-friendly. Such an easy app to use very user-friendly you don’t have to be a techie to be able to just scan any item at any store and about 90% of the time it gives you a thumbs up or thumbs down. It has changed the way I shop now. So many items I wouldn’t want before that now I scan with the app and put back on the shelves and find other alternative BobbyApproved items instead

Like the concept but it’s frustrating. Concept is great and I wish it worked better. I like when you can quickly scan in stores and it provides you with an approved/not approved. However it doesn’t tell you why most of the time. Also when searching for products, it’s not easy. You’ll search for a brand, it won’t come up, then search the item, and you’ll see the brand below. Why didn’t it come up in my search? Also the same brand can be approved and not approved for extremely similar products and its difficult to find out why one thing is approved and the other isn’t. Work out the kinks and this will be great!

Amazing app. I am so grateful for this app because it saves so much time and confusion with reading labels when I can just scan and go. I appreciate all the time and effort that Bobby and his wife have put into educating people on harmful ingredients and all they do to promote health. This app is awesome and I hope more and more people will stop supporting food companies that put toxic chemicals in their food that is harming people and causing all kinds of health problems. This app will help you to support companies that have real food ingredients and not harmful chemicals.

Bobby Approved. Thank you for doing the research and sharing and spreading this good knowledge to help millions live a healthier lifestyle including myself. It’s a choice we have to make everyday to become the warriors we all have inside for our bodies and minds to stay healthy, and become healthier versions of ourselves. I don’t know if I’m missing it but I would love to have a photo upload button on this app. Overall the app is amazing and I keep it open on my phone because I’m always trying to scan lol. Thanks again.

Great app!! BUT. Here is just a couple of things that would be appreciated 1-Add a reason why on EVERY product. Some do not have an ingredient list with the bad ingredients highlighted in red? 2-When you are reading a product list and it has something highlighted red, it would be quite beneficial to be able to click on the ingredient and it say why its bad. 3-Every ingredient should be in the ingredient search bar not just certain ones?

My Niece Loves it. I have the app but actually have nit used it yet because I don’t go to store often. I will though. Told her to get it and use it. She eats healthy and because of a small tumor in her brain she can’t remember things well so this app has helped her to be able to use it when she needs and not have to remember what she should stay away from. She is a bubbly person and squeals when something works for her. I’m just glad it helps her.
