Amazing idea and start to a world changing app. Some of the foods I am interested in buying, have no information about them on this app. (they aren’t in this database anymore than just a name). So this bums me out because it only really sticks to larger brands. Most large brands are all bad and should be avoided in general. I wish there was an option for me to send a note that certain products need some research done! I would love to help be part of the truth revealing! Thank you for what information IS offered though. This is a great idea coming to life. I hope some day there is a way good company brands can be rewarded from this...and evil ones will get revealed.

The most useful app. It’s nearly impossible to know who I am supporting with the multitude of brands out there. Buycott makes choiceful shopping possible. It’s not perfect, they don’t have every single brand or item, but they guess based on info given pretty accurately. The scanner is very fast and easy. So grateful for this app!

Helps me make decisions that are right. When I first open the app I was a little put off because it seems to be super liberal. It’s so hard to find good information that isn’t slanted so I tried look past that. I actually use this app to support Trump and buy products from several other corporations that seem to politically offend Buycott. I just had to turn it around to use it to support what I think is right.

Get it!. What an awesome app! I'm so glad I found this- it's an easy way to make a difference without spending your whole life on Google! If there is a cause you really care about, or a few, this makes it easy to make sure you're shopping choices aren't conflicting with your cause. If they are you can easily send a message to the company. It will also tell you if a company supports your cause and you can tell them that as well- great way to easily give companies feedback, good or bad. This little app could make a big difference.

Good idea with room for improvement. I like the concept of knowing what I buy based on my politics. The drawbacks: wish there's an optional search by company name instead of only scanning. Search is slow when in stores due to jamming signals and limited broadband. There is no contact information on website alone. Just came across grossly inaccurate information about a favorite product, which took some time figuring out who to contact for correction. Caveat Emptor

Buycott app. This app is easy to use, gives access to more information than I expected, and has proven extremely helpful. It has made me much more able to buy according to my beliefs much more effectively. I can now avoid seemingly benevolent or neutral retailers that quietly pay to oppose the cause I care most about.

The best APP FOR AVOIDING GMOS. I absolutely LOVE this app. It helps me make the RIGHT choice when it comes to many products I buy. Body lotion, facial creams , food that is made with MONSANTO CRAP. I just am thrilled I have this help next to NON GMO Project verified. I also do wish that BUYCOTT had everything that can be scanned but do your part and type in the questions it asks and maybe it will be soon be an item to scan. Thanks to everyone who created this app and continue to make it better.

Helps me stay on track with what matters to me.. I’ve been using this app for years and really appreciate that it helps me stay on track with what matters to me and my family. Many times I have returned products to the shelf because they didn’t meet the criteria that matters to me. People see me use it in the store and I tell them all about it. It’s a great resource! Try it you won’t be sorry.

Could be great but it's not. This app is severely outdated with inaccurate information that basically makes it useless. This is a wonderful idea. And I'm sure it's hard to keep updated and accurate but without doing that what's the point? Some of this stuff is years old. I don't see any easy way to report inaccuracies. It would be cool to add a feature where you can choose to boycott specific companies that you manually choose yourself instead of only companies that are under a certain "campaign."

Divisive. This app is completely biased to liberals and progressives. There are a few campaigns on here that any decent human should be in favor of supporting (infringements on basic human rights) but then there are the silly ones like “boycott Donald Trump” that are just meant to divide people. If that is on this app then there should be a campaign that supports the opposite side of the spectrum. I’m sure if you asked the developer their point of view on equality they would be all for equal distribution of opportunities but yet here they are be exclusive rather than inclusive. Let’s try to do things that benefit people rather than continue to feed upon the negative that is slowly deteriorating the foundation of unity, cooperation, love, and respect that our country is built upon.

Great Educational Tool!:). Been using it for years so this review is late. Got tired of the prompt to to review every time I opened the app in the store LOL. The good - different campaigns offer new perspective and learning opportunities to expand your horizons regarding the adulteration/destruction of food by big farma & big companies and the diabolical ties that have been created in the pursuit of making $$$. I also found international items in the database. The bad - unfortunately even food is politicized and the “identity politics” is nauseating😕. Just keep telling yourself you’re here for the food, health and to protect yourself.

Buyer Beware... you’ll need more research than this app!. There are some good bits of information on here, but there’s a lot of misleading information as well. You don’t know who is putting up the different campaigns or where they got their information. There’s no one to ask either. The causes listed are all good causes, but this app tries to simplify boycotting companies and products down too much. Some of the companies on this list are trying to work on these issues, but they can take time and those discussions are not part of this app either.

Disorganized, buggy, but a good idea. This is my dream app. It just needs to function. I can’t view any campaigns under the environment tab and haven’t been able to since I downloaded the app a month ago. Also, on a company profile, it’ll show a number of “other campaigns” but when I click it sometimes it will show many campaigns less than that number or none at all. There’s no way that I can find to add info about a product or company that only exists, you can just report an innaccuracy. I also don’t know how to create products. I also don’t know what an “action” is or how to take one. When I first started using it there was a section on product pages for me to select if I was going to buy the product or not and I think when I selected no it means I “took an action.” Now that doesn’t show up for me anymore. Please fix these problems! I have contacted customer service but gotten no reply.

Changed my lifestyle! Still needs info updates. This is a phenomenal app to change your lifestyle and your awareness of what exactly your money is going towards. Please, if you join, contribute more information to the app. Do your research. The info more that users put in, the better this app works! Do your part 😊

Revolutionary!. This app and the entire concept is amazing! As with most new apps I’m sure there are bugs but one in particular for me, and only reason I’m putting 4 instead of 5 stars is the barcode scans NEVER works. I can easily type it in but if it’s something that needs to be adjusted I definitely wanna bring attention to it! Ty for the app and the freedom to know who I’m giving my money to.

This app is perfect for making positive change. This app is by far one of my favorites. It allows you to make sure that you aren't buying products from sources whose values differ from your own. You can rest easy knowing that with each purchase, you are helping make the world a better place. Give Buycott a try today and start voting with your lifestyle!

Giving back to the world. This app really makes me feel like I’m helping the world even a little. I have learned so much being able to scan a product and find out how it impacts the world around me. I don’t use it constantly with everything I buy. But I use it as much as I can and I feel like a better person for it.

Great Tool but an issue. I like the concept but needs to be more reliable. I have joined a few campaigns and have additional companies to add to these campaigns but when adding a company I get kicked out, attempted several times but no luck before it quits the app and I need to go back in, the companies I want to add are all around us so its important to add them so people are aware. Let me know once resolved. I did refer the app to a dozen friends and family so would like for it to be more efficient and effective in supporting our values. Thank you

One-sided campaigns, huge disappointment. I was excited to find an app to help me avoid unhealthy brands but I quickly realized that this app is completely based on the leftist political agenda. If the app is going to include politics, then all views should be represented. Conservatives have literally been left out from fully utilizing this app. Even if your not conservative, it should raise a red flag that this app is very selective. This app needs to be unbiased to be adequate but the left just has to stick their foot in everything and shove their political agenda down everyone’s throats. The privacy policy is also unsettling.

Love It. I’m doing my best to a void giving money to those corporations utilizing exploited laborers or causing environmental degradation/destruction. Short of having your own small subsistence farm, it’s almost impossible to a void utilizing products from these companies. But this app helps me to identify those corporations I definitely do not want to support and/or help me choose the lesser of the evils or recommends a better product. Love it.

Great app, but crashes when you select "yes, I'll buy this". This is an awesome app - it's easy to see the impacts of your favorite companies and will also suggest alternatives that will better align with your stated values. The only problem with it is that when I hit the "yes" and sometimes the "no" button for "will you buy this?", the app crashes. While it does save your answer, it gets annoying pretty quick when you're evaluating multiple products in a row.

Don’t Just Complain, Take Action. Your money is your power, and we need to stop giving that power away to people and institutions who cause us harm, danger and imbalance. This app helps you redirect that power responsibly. Is it a perfect app? No. But it’s free, and it’s effective, and it is one of the few apps that actually makes a difference in the world. I’d rather join the couple million Buycott users who question their purchases -who take a moment to stand up for their values - than the billions who just mindlessly complain and consume.

Great resource. I love this app. It helps me be a more savvy, responsible consumer. It is astounding how many products are owned by the same big companies! The info I get in Buycott informs the feedback I give to companies, not only complaining when they are being irresponsible, but complimenting them when they do something good. I do have problems with it crashing sometimes. Hope the developers improve on this. All in all, a very helpful app.

Vote with your wallet !. I love that this app makes it convenient to only support companies and products that are parallel with what I believe in. I also love how easy it is to share socially when you've made a product choice, and to write companies directly to encourage them to change! Thanks for making this world a little easier to navigate every day!

Love it.. Everyone should be using this app. It's easy to use. Just aim and know instantly if you're about to poison your family. I also love the new feature that lets you email the company. I just wish more of the emails were readily available. Overall, cannot say enough good things

Wonderful App, with room for improvement. Its a great way to learn about the illusions of choice and the more people use and update the app the more people can make ethical purchases with their money. An awesome way to fight back since their wallets are the only way companies will change

No personal conflicts. This app is great! I got it and stopped using for almost a year, but now I'm back at it. I thought it was going to lead me to use better cleaning supplies and hold once local/small companies accountable for selling out, but it actually as proved to open my purchases to chains. I assumed walgreens and seventh generation might be bad organizations, but thy aren't! Still trying to but small and local, but this app makes it easy to but convenient and still be aligned with my moral compass.

voting with my dollar. This app has personally helped me “vote” with my purchases. It’s helped me stay informed by avoiding purchasing from certain companies that I wish to not support and makes me feel better about my shopping. It’s really easy to use, most the time all I have to do is scan a barcode and I’m immediately informed about that particular product. Thank you for making my life easier!

Boycott this app. They “share” all of your personal information and date, including your IP address. Company that claims to care infringing on your privacy gets a 1 star. We need to quit folding and letting social media and apps gather and sell our information. It’s becoming the norm, you looking for things to boycott, boycott apps like this that are only looking to advance the advertising industry until it’s like the movie “Minority Report” where they have face scanners everywhere and the screens all turn to ads that target you personally.

Needs more work but I am thankful it exists. It’s a bit buggy and hard to navigate im unsure of how to leave causes and sometimes the navigation is quite confusing Needs more information on corporations and more items in general but i have faith in this app hire more people and keep at it and i think this app will be absolutely amazing one day

Great app for boycotting. I really like this app. You can search products or scan a barcode while you’re in the store. Recently thought, I open the app, it defaults to the barcode scan mode, and if I click X to close out of scan mode, the app crashes. Please investigate! I’ll check for updates. Thank you!

Best app out there. Every consumer needs this app. Our dollar is the last power we have! We need to use it wisely and not give it to undeserving, uncaring, uncouth companies. This app isn’t perfect but it has the right idea and can be improved. It is the only one of its kind empowering consumers to make better choices.

DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY. The idea behind this app is great, but they desperately need to fix the problems with it. For one, the barcode scanner is terrible and it takes forever to actually get it to read barcodes, but even once it goes through you sometimes get a “product not found” error message. I’ve tried it on products that should definitely be in the system and it still happens. Secondly and most importantly, the information about the products is often not accurate! The first item I scanned showed that it had no conflicts with the cause I was supporting, but a simple google search told me that was completely false! It took less time for me to find that out on google than it did for me to get this app to recognize the barcode! So sad because in theory, this app could be an awesome tool especially in the times we’re currently living in. People need an easy way to boycott! Please fix these issues!

A good resource for information but needs major work!. I starting using this application fairly recently and while I admit some of the things that i purchase are less than mainstream, I have been diligent in adding as much as i can to fill the database Buycott uses for the good of all of us. What annoys me are the constant app crashes (10 times in the last two days, usually while I am trying to submit a review for a product), and the scanner going crazy (trying to scan a product 10+ times in a row rapidly without pulling anything up, like it seizes up pulling an entry from the database and so just keeps trying to scan with the same results). I really do want to keep my buying power away from certain corporations and keep it moving towards better causes, and this would be a whole lot easier without the glitches. Overall, 3 out of 5 for in-depth data on corporations and corp. trees but you have to fix it before I give it anything higher.

Needs improvements. The workings of the app itself is fine. It’s the design that went into the buycott campaigns that isn’t functioning as intended. Who are the moderators for each campaign and how can we trust that they are informed, active, and reevaluate each company based on new evidence? If we can’t trust them (MANY are inactive, don’t make a complete listing of companies, or have made factually inaccurate decisions) then there should be community-run ways to edit the campaign information, such as: 1. The ability to suggest a company be moved from category to category (right now there is only the option to add it to a campaign, but not to remove it from one or to switch it between the avoid/support lists). 2. The ability to vote on the accuracy of each campaign/company listing - obviously with security protections so a company can’t buy votes - and those that fall too low in accuracy ratings are removed from the list. 3. The ability to request ownership/moderator status for a campaign that seems to have lost its leadership. There is basically no oversight and no assurance of quality. It’s a good idea, but it needs to function very well, otherwise why would I bother with these inaccurate reports rather than simply buying whatever as I always have done?

Great app but. The family tree needs to be vertical instead of horizontal. Sending people corporate tree info requires a screen recording instead of a screen shot. This seems like a pretty big oversight. Also there’s nothing about the Kellogg’s boycott on there which surprises me and no way to enter the boycott in. Buycott should be the number one resource on which products to avoid, especially now. Has this app been abandoned?

Great idea!. So far, so good! I used this app during my entire grocery trip and it changed how I purchased things. I truly enjoy knowing that I'm spending my money ethically. There's some companies that aren't recognized but I'm assuming they are either too local or it will just come with time. Overall, good experience!

Outdated, full of false information. I’ve always said that capitalism could be used to accomplish great change by informed consumers, so I was excited at the idea of this app. I’m disappointed to find it hasn’t seen an update in 2 years and is full of bad info. Many companies are cited as having connections to certain causes (positive or negative) that aren’t true. Take, for instance, Tillamook, a dairy company from my home state of Oregon. They’re listed as being a primary client of an Israeli textile manufacturer and the source cited for this says NOTHING about Tillamook. I found that almost all sources cited for all 26 of their conflicts showed no mention of Tillamook. This was the case for the vast majority of conflicts I checked the source for. What’s the purpose of this app if it’s full of false claims with no real sources? How will that aid anyone in being a conscious consumer? It won’t. I’ll go back to relying on my own research.

Please enable search without barcode. I get most of my groceries through Peapod and Fresh Direct. It would be great to be able to search items by name before I create my shopping list. Even for shopping in the physical store, it’s time consuming to stop and scan in the store — I would much prefer to learn about the products when I’m making my shopping list. Thanks for considering!

Serious Design Flaws. Doesn’t seem to be possible to remove a campaign from your list once it’s added. Can’t get support from the webpage because the “download app” banner blocks the main menu button and has no close-out option. Once I found a way around this and tried to actually click the search bar, on mobile it does absolutely nothing. Can’t click, can’t get typing cursor. In the app when searching something, the search results that come up block half of the “campaigns, people, products” menu, so you can’t sort the results. App and website need serious improvement to be useable, they’re a nightmare (website, on desktop and mobile). It’s a shame because the concept has potential.

Speak with your wallet. The only way to actually get companies to do that right thing, is to not do business with bad companies, and give your money from good companies. This app allows you to easily avoid certain products as it tells you what it’s parent company does, whether good or bad, and provides alternative products if you decide not to buy it. You can also add friends and see what decisions they have made (if they decide to turn that on of course). It’s a great app that allows you to easily make good purchasing decisions. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Money = Votes. Do you feel powerless due to politicians not representing us anymore? Do you feel like companies with lobbyists have a louder voice in important decision making than we the people do? Then vote with your money. Companies hear money (or lack of) more clearly than they do the vocal concerns of the public. This app allows you to know which companies are profiting from your grocery store or product purchases. Buycott give you the power to make informed purchasing decisions. Vote with your dollar, help the companies who care with your hard earned money. And remember that we are all in this together.

Awesome app. My best friend showed me this app a few days ago and I've been stuck on it ever since. It's a great way to find out if the products your using go against what you believe in. I'm sure as time goes by this app will do nothing but get more detailed in its findings. It's shocking to find that a lot of companies lack morals and this app is a great way to find those that actually care.

Disorganized, buggy, but very helpful.. Definitely needs work- scanner doesn’t work when you back out of a scanned product to use it again, crashes on occasion, lots of gaps to fill in products so it sometimes takes more time to get your answer. That being said, money speaks. This is a good resource, and as long as it continues to improve, it will remain a helpful resource.

Very Good App. This language popped up when I went to do the review. It does though state my beliefs and cynicism exactly. So, I'm a cynic and very distrustful of large for profit corporations that I believe will do ANYTHING.... REPEAT ANYTHING...to make money. I therefore was looking for an app to help me make purchases from companies that I either agree with or at least I don't oppose. This app is the best I've found to allow me to check products and companies before I buy. I use this app every time I shop. It's quick and easy and I recommend it.

Love it, needs some work. I love this app and believe it can do some good work, but I fear that it could lose worth and users due to lack of activity. Whether it be campaign runners or anyone, it is important to stay up to date and relevant. Otherwise what’s the point? Please clean house and update products, companies, and campaigns. This means take down unresponsive and unhelpful and untrue campaigns and products please. Thank you

Good idea but too political. There is very little choice where I live but I like the idea of a organic user created database(if that’s what it and not yet another illusion). Disappointed in it’s obvious political orientation as any intelligent person would not believe we have a choice in partisan politics or really in anything; wish there was a way to buycott the federal reserve and if they want to make their app about politics and social justice they should start by explaining the banking system, fiat currencies, and those who control it(the same people that control the media, our food, and everything else). But all we can do is vote with our dollar; and for that the app gets 3 stars, but I wish it got 5. leave the stupid politics out of it; quit trying to control people ; it exposes you as a part of the problem disguised as the solution.

Responsible Consumers Unite!. Sure it adds 20 minutes to my shopping - sure it makes me uncomfortable with some of my most traditional shopping patterns - sure I wish it had the ability to do similar ratings for items without barcodes - but these are all the uncomfortable things that we need to embrace to create the impact we want to create in the world. Sign up and vote for causes with your cash!

Be Patient...Be Suooortive. This App is evolving and growing. It might not be perfect yet but I’m sure the programmers would love our input. My response is to some of the remarks that said it didn’t pick up some of the companies that should be in the list. Our feedback to Buycott helps improve the App.

Great app but. To be honest, I think it is hard to keep track of all the companies and subsidiaries as there are so many products and, I suspect, diversification and diversions by corporations. However, I was disappointed to find out that they did not know that Garden of Life is owned by Nestlé. I had been buying a lot of their products and therefore unwittingly supporting an extremely immoral company; fortunately my step-daughter is more savvy and figured it out. I will still use their app and still highly recommend it but do your research too. The other great thing is that it will send a notification to the company telling the that you did not buy their product and what the issue is.

Need to build a greater database. We need to contribute information about a greater number of products so as to help build a greater database for this app. Let's all do it.

Halal certification. I used to recommend the use of this App to many people. But then ‘they’ removed the category of identifying which products are Halal certified. I have contacted them twice asking why and have had no response. I would love them to say why they have done this.

really good. the app is excellent and helps me avoid products i don’t want to buy. please update the app. the interface is a bit clunky on ios 17.

Mr. This is what I have been looking for to find out what and what not to buy , I don't like paying companies that support Islam which ultimately makes the product dearer , Halal slaughter is a cruel way of killing animals and Halal generally is a cruel corrupt tax on our Australian food , which is the purist food on the planet , there is no need for halal period

Fabulous!. Loving this app... I've been surprised by some of the products that have dubious connections to companies I don't wish to support. Power at my fingertips!

Lardy. Brilliant idea that makes grocery shopping a little less challenging. A little disappointed though that not all products are either listed or updated, so in these cases it pays to know your stuff without the need for the app.

Wide-open to abuse.. At this point, several campaigns are either being polluted by hate speech, anti-Israel invective, and foul language in the comments, or appear to have been established to pursue a non-peaceful goal such as anti-Israeli lobbying. There are comments with Muslim vs. the rest of the world overtones. These are all contrary to the purpose of Buycott, which is meant to provide a commercial way to bring about constructive change. One of the following needs to happen. 1). Each forum must to be moderated, with the system only allowing publication of comments (and creation new campaigns) after checking for such dangerous or unacceptable content, just like most discussion boards; Or 2). every campaign must be checked daily for harmful content and harmful results, and closed down if found harmful, with perpetrators reported to the FBI, Australian Security, Scotland Yard etc. as appropriate for our protection against pro-violence, pro-war and harmful groups; Or else 3) the whole forum must be shut down and re-designed with built-in protection against such abuse.

Buycott ROCKS. I VOTE with my persuasive CASH! This is TRUE consumer power! I use Buycottt to weed out ANY ethically challenged or suspect companies from my regular and new product buying.. I LOVE it! This is our buying (and voting) future. I post it regularly to Facebook!

POWER TO THE PEOPLE!. This app gives you the POWER to pressure the injustices and help end the Apartheid policies of the Israeli government in a non- violent way. Will pass onto 10 of my friends this week!

Must have app. Has given me insight on which sub-brands are hidden inside other brands. I'm changing my shopping habits using this app, shopping more responsibly and much healthier foods as well

Loads of conspiracy theorists and crazy. The anti GMO lobby and conspiracy kooks have flooded this app with thousands of nonsense choices to avoid perfectly safe products and companies. I wanted purely to avoid companies that involve cruelty to animals, and to avoid Halal and Kosher products. Nothing more. But only two of three exist (now none exist?) and they're hidden in an ocean of stupidity from people who clearly don't even had a high school level education. How can I trust this app when there is NO quality control? To the Devs: Don't support every cause, as many you are supporting aren't just unworthy, but they're absolutely BSI and clueless. There is extensive long term testing of GMO, only two papers exist finding any dangers and both were authored by anti-GM nutters and got busted for a conflict of interest and unscientific conduct including cruelty to animals. Cmon, wake up.

Helps me avoid halal. This app is good as it shows me when a product is halal, so I can avoid buying it.

The best app ever. This is the best app I have, I use it for everything. Big ups to the developers. Such a great idea that also helps create a better world. I love you.

The Pen is mightier than the Sword. In a time of corporations, capitalism, countries in debt to banks, the most effective and legal action against corruption is the freedom of choice. This app allows me to make financial impacts to humanitarian causes on a global scale. However small the impact may seem, the app is used by millions... ☺️

Best app ever. Perfect app to avoid halal certified food, hopefully everyone can use this so the 'people' behind halal food know how much we don't want there way of life shoved down our necks. Good work to whoever made this app :)

Positive & Useful App. Great app that allows us to consciously vote with our dollar. I use this everyday.

Buycott. I love this app, it has changed what I buy immensely because all the research has been done on most products and I can make an informed decision on whether I will buy a product or not. Thank you

Useless. Used to be good. Now it is pushing political agendas!

Best product you will ever use. Fantastic product if you want to stay up to date with products that are safe to eat and use for you and your family. I would be lost without it.

Fantastic app. Just a shame that the right wing haters have sought to misuse with their own racist agendas Thanks

Missy. I love this product and would like to see more info on worldwide campaigns in it. Possibly a way to directly link it to an existing online campaign?

Need it. A must have app.. I wish everyone with a smart phone would use this app.

Awesome!. Best app ever! Get it and use it to change the world. At the end of the day the whole world is made up of every single persons little decisions all added up, so use this app to make yours.

Miss. I praise you for creating such an informative app. I know that a lot of the major brands are global but have you considered including a "select country" option so that the info is more relevant to consumers of differing nations? I am from Australia, and as much as I do care about what goes on in other countries, relevant info needs to be associated with the country of origin of your subscribers. I understand that this is an enormous task but it would be of great benefit to everyone if we intend to boycott the organisations that are corrupting our way of life. Also, a "product history" list would be great so I don't need to rescan products. I look forward to seeing some improvements in this informative, simple to use app.

Indispensable. I use this app every time I shop to a wood paying the halal tax. I couldn’t shop without it as the halal tax isn’t on the label of most items.

It doesn’t work!!!. I was so happy yesterday upon completing my shop with this app, thinking great! I have done my shop with no halal products, only to find out that 2 products I bought yesterday are indeed halal certified and goodness only knows how many other products I bought yesterday are also halal certified!! I was so happy when I got this app but now I can’t trust it at all! So sad and angry right now!!

Really good app I can’t access. Says in development mode? I want to be ethical

Amazing. Even without the ability to see all the ethical conflicts a particular company has. This app would still be awesome. Really interesting to see the whole family tree of companies

Very informative.. I’ve been using this to weed out items made by Nestle, unlike all the other racists who use the app to look for halal certified products because they have no idea what they are even talking about.

Amazing!. So helpful and easy to use! Makes avoiding halal certified brands so much easier and has opened my eyes to a broad range of other issues that I didn't know about.

PERFECT!!! I LOVE THIS!!!. It's 2:38AM and I have just found this app. I cannot wait for morning to come so I can tell my sister & all 7 of my sister-in-laws about it.. And everyone else I know!!! And maybe some people I don't know :)

Cunning Shopper. Fantastic app which allows me to choose which products to purchase when shopping. Very easy to use and thoroughly recommend it.

Great App. Very helpful app. Helps me shop. Being able to scan items before purchase is wonderful. Helps me decide if I'm going to purchase the item or not. 👍🏼

Really one of the best apps ever. İ went around the house scanning everything and you wouldnt believe some of the stuffs that i found going in the bin! Very useful app

Power to the consumer. This app allows users to make better consumer decisions for a better world. It's simple to use. The campaigns are sometimes difficult to understand but it is such a powerful tool it overcomes any minor shortcomings like this.

Easy to use. Great app which improves everyday as more items are added to the campaign I've joined. Much easier to avoid halal certification with a quick scan of the barcode instead of searching the packaging for the symbol which is often hidden or simply just not there.

Much potential. Not enough data behind it yet to be really useful, but the concept is great and the implementation is promising. The use of self-selected, crowdsourced campaigns is what really sets it apart and makes it useful for everyone who wants to act according to their own conscience (rather than just the conscience of whoever happened to have made the app). Will need to address data quality, consistency and integrity (duplicates, errors etc) and currency (keeping track of both corporate social activity and changes in corporate structure) as priorities - probably through careful and thoroughly curated crowdsourcing, I imagine it would be too big a task otherwise. Shop Ethical is still my go-to choice, but I'll be watching this one closely too now. It has the potential to become something truly fantastic - but it'll be a massive (though worthwhile) project.

Awesome!. Easy to use and works all the time

This is our Country. Great app easy to use , gives you a real insight to how many manufactures have ship jumped . I will be recommending this app to all my family and friends !

Eye opener. One of the most useful apps I have ever used !! Highly recommend !!

A must have app !. Terrific idea and great app that finally helps you making the right on a daily basis. Already scanned mist of everything I have at home and was amazed by what I've learnt ! Definitely a must gave app !

Know who your really paying. Simple, easy to use product that allows you to make your own informed decisions. Check your pantry first.

5 stars for a great idea. Look forward to seeing an actual outcome. For example - a company who tests on animals actually shutting down or REALLY changing.

Looks good. Just downloaded today and thought I would check some of my pantry staples. So far I've avoided what I wanted too, will be very helpful when I next grocery shop.

Everybody should use this!. The more people use it, the better it will get. It can really make a difference.

So helpful!. It isn't easy in this world of today to know when you're supporting someone you'd rather not, Buycott helps me to tell the difference and stop paying for oppression.

No palm oil info. Great concept but needs to list additives such as MSG and define whether or not products contain palm oil.

Perfect little app. Everyone should have this app because it makes a lot of your purchases decisions easier which would be helpful for mankind. " one who killed one innocent person has killed the whole of mankind, and one who saved ones life has saved the whole of mankind ".

Great.. Took a couple of minutes for me to figure out how to select the boycott/support items but is easy to use and will definitely make use on my future shopping trips.

People power. Love this! Simple, clever use of existing technology that, let's face it, most of us have and making another tool to help chip away at the unchecked power of corporations. More transparency and more informed choice - exactly what we need as 'consumers' and as empathetic, mindful people!

No BDS. Can't find the BDS movement against Israel and the app seems very outdated like it was created in 2010

Love it. Easy to use. Great platform!

Very good. It’s a very helpful tool to have on the phone I travel a lot and use this app all the time Woonsocket different supermarkets, sometimes you get the odd look but I’m ok with that I have mentioned to people about the app if they ask what I’m doing.

Boycott Israel. Thank you for creating this amazing app. We are all so thankful to be able to boycott the apartheid state of israel.

It would be awesome if it didn't crashed all the time!. It would be swrsome if it didn't crashed all the time!

Login. You very obviously don't need Facebook to join. Ignore those folks

Stuff. This app is great

Start standing up for the things that matter. .

Love the app. This app is really great in principle, and I love having the option of knowing about what I buy. The only downside I’ve encountered so far is that anybody can create campaigns, and sometimes they aren’t for the best causes.

So helpful and eye opening!. This app is a huge help in bringing me closer to living in line with my values. Often you want to buy products that don’t cause harm, but it’s overwhelming to even try. This app allows me to make better informed choices and think twice about what I’m buying. Living under capitalism, it’s basically impossible to choose products that do no harm, but this app at least helps me better understand my impact and choose what companies get my money.

Amazing. This app is perfect if you want to know what you're supporting when buying groceries etc

Convenient. This app works as intended and is very convenient. I hope more people would use it!

Love. I love ❤️ this app. It works well, and if anyone says it doesn’t work, it’s a lie.

Fake Connections. With this app people are able to choose which campaign a company would support. These aren't always correct and make some companies look worse than they actually are. App spams you to rate five stars upon opening and for each subsequent scan.

Very good cause. Great app for humanitarians and people who want to make change in the world

Love this app. Haven't found a product yet that it doesn't have info about. And I'm in Canada so that's saying a lot.

I See No Way to Sign Out. Not only can I not find where to sign out the few Account settings are not helpful. There is no indication how to change an email address. There is no option to delete an account either in the App or by connecting to the website from a computer. Very disappointing.

Great app!. Still a number of things not found, but a great app.

Search function needs work. The search function needs work. I’m shocked if what I search actually shows up. The reality is that most of us are online shopping and cannot use the handy barcode function, so this search function is critical.

WONDERFUL. just wonderful.. I cannot say enough about how great this app is. I now have a POWERFUL tool in my hand with which I can enact positive change in this world. In this capitalist, profit driven society it is OUR dollars that give the corporations the power that they wield. Now I can easily choose who gets my money and most importantly; who doesn't.

The politics of a tomato. Too woke for me!

Thank you. Always wanted something like this.

Need improvement. It doesn't show the proper output and there is not enough products on this app.

Not sure what the other people are seeing. I scanned a bunch of items and very few gave a result. The ones that did had very little information, sometimes nothing more than a picture of the item!

Great app!. Great app. Invaluable n very informative! Great to be able to make informed choices.

Save the world. This is a great app. Allow yourself to get involved in the causes that really matter to you. Every dollar you spend at a company is a vote that you believe in what they stand for. Spend your money wisely!

5stare. My other scanner didn't work at all this is way better

Very well done. Very nice app!

Love it!!. Best. App. Ever. Everytime I use it I feel like I’m doing my little part to get that criminal out of the White House

Keeps shutting down. I love this app and use it when shopping but it keeps shutting off by itself. Please fix this issue Thanks

search function is so bad and overall design is not good. the app looks like it was designed in 2010 and hasn’t had an update since. love the idea which is why i gave 3 stars.

Needs many bug fixes and not very user friendly. I love how much this app is changing my buying practices, so I will continue to use it but outside of scanning products it’s difficult to use.

Scam?. I hardly found a product that supported (no error). I am in Canada.

Hilarious. Look up pictures of barcodes and if y I scan them you can get some funny results I’ve already had this app scan a barcode that says a product is Kleenex tissue and had the product picture of tony hawk pro skater 2 for the ps2 Also works for boycotting I guess

Fantastic App!. So much important information in one location! No more looking everywhere for ethical and sustainable products when it’s all in one place! Genius!

Easy to use, but feedback should be easier. Scanning items works well and selecting campaigns is good with list of companies and links to justification for support/boycott. Would be nice to be able to search a company and see if they are listed on any campaign, as well as their business relations. Also, please make it easier for us to send you new companies to add to campaigns and submit comment and URL for inclusion.

Does not work. Gave it three stars for the effort and ethical value of the app itself but it won’t let me sign up for any campaigns for some reason. I try to create a password and the app crashes. Can someone please fix that?

Great app. However it does not have many products from on line distribution like modere, Monat, and others?

Absolutely love it. I love this app. It really helps me support the ethical company's and make the right choice.

Great app but needs updating. It’s a great app, but the last update was years ago. It doesn’t use the newer phone screen sizes, and is starting to look a bit old.

Simple and informative. Works great, very helpful for making informed purchases

Free Palestine. Makes it easy to clarify which brands to avoid and gives an explanation as to why each brand is on the list, which some similar apps don’t do

Vote with your phone. Most of us want change. We want healthy food and opportunity. This app gives us a path to create our own future from devastating trade agreements to climate change. One of the greatest men of our times stated "together there is nothing we cannot accomplish". Thanks to the developers for one of the most powerful apps in existence. It is Bernie worthy.

Essential app!. This is a powerful tool to make sure that your dollars are going to companies and businesses that you choose. EVERYONE should shop with this app!!!!

Making ethical shopping easier. Great app, though some barcodes are not yet listed. Make shopping with conscience easier

Useful and easy. This app takes so much guess work and makes decision making, when shopping, much easier! I highly recommend it

One of my favorite apps!. I love that this app helps me navigate my way to ethical consumption behavior!

Very interesting. Fascinating to find who's behind the brands.

Trash. I just purchased it yesterday and it crashes when opens. Waste of money !

Great app. Makes it easier to avoid brands that I don't want to support.

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Great resource!. I’m very big into sourcing food suppliers whose values align with my own. Your app takes the guesswork out of the grocery shopping experience and is a huge time saver. I get tons of questions about your app when shopping and I’m so glad that I can pass it on.

Great app. From what I can tell it has a fairly extensive data base to pull from so most items scanned will turn up with something. Fantastic for making buy decisions easier. Great for anyone who wants to make an impact when shopping. Money talks.

Great premise, poor execution. I love the idea of this app, but I have to rate it low because it works so poorly with my camera. I have an iPhone 15 pro max and the camera is always unable to focus. The scanner has worked once, but even in perfect conditions it fails the majority of the time. More technically, for the devs, I think it’s failing to switch to the appropriate camera for the focal length or whatever, and it doesn’t focus when I tap it

Great way to avoid Trump/ Nestle Products!. Always had trouble figuring out which products are owned by who but this make’s it so much more easier! Super quick and easy. makes me feel great knowing my money isn’t going towards any of these monsters!!

Opting out of campaign notifications. I really want to keep this app but I don’t want my email inbox filling up with notifications, so I selected opting out of campaign notifications. However, every time I visit a campaign, I notice that the notifications button is switched on. This is for all of them. I find this VERY ANNOYING, and if my inbox fills with crap, I’ll be forced to delete this great app and leave a one-star review next time. Please FIX this!

Use this app people. This app made some awesome updates, it would be even better if more people used it! Love using it when purchasing products. I even scan organic ones because some of them sold out to monstrosity of a cooperation.

💟 Great app. 💟💟 this app, so easy to use at the supermarket lets me know where manufacturers stand and who is sneaking in the GMO while pretending to be a good fellow! I highly recommend it ; sometimes there are things that it doesn't recognize but that is few and far between!

Great informative app. I love being able to find info immediately while looking at something in the store! I feel so much more confident and informed without doing a lot of time consuming research before making a decision.

Super informative. recommend this app to anyone and everyone who cares about where their products are coming from and what kind of activities they're supporting by buying/ supporting from a company

Very liberal. This app has some great qualities and a lot that I could get behind. As an independent voter, however, I was displeased with the lack of conservative causes. I would assume that the majority of people who would use an app like this would describe themselves as liberal, but I think it would be fair to also have the option of choosing causes like pro-life, etc. This app is very one sided.

Wonderful!. I've been using this app for a few years now, and recently I've been telling everyone about it. I'm even honest in letting everyone know that it is bipartisan. It simply gives you the information and lets you have the power. But of course in the current political climate, boycotting is our one true power against the government right now. Especially because this leader is so focused on corporations. Though not everything is listed with the app yet, there is plenty to let me know that I am not contributing to organization I consider, well, evil. Love this app!!!!!

App issues. I really like the idea of the app and i would like to use it to its full capability but it is so slow and keeps on crashing.. information sometimes does not load at all and it’s not my internet i checked. Keeps crashing every time i try to view a product

Love love love. I can’t wait til the app is finished, but I love everything about it so far. I’m currently unable to link my social media to contact corporations, and they need some more products added, but keep up the amazing work guys!!

Activists -- This Is For You!. Of course is not enough just to boycott -- educate, agitate, and organize. But while you're doing all that, this is a nice way to quickly avoid making poor purchasing decisions!

I have used Buycott for years and I love it.. It’s nice to know I have a tool at my fingertips to find out who is really behind the products that we buy. Easy way to find out if brands align with my personal values. 5 star experience!

Love it!. Only complaint is that I wish the data were a little more complete, but for the most part it's SO helpful for making decisions in the grocery store.

Easiest way to boycott Trump products and support a cause. I've been using this before Trump, as a means of keeping myself aware with food products that I buy. Now this is also the easiest way to make a difference in what I care about.

Love it. I'm scanning everything and finding out more than I would have ever guessed about the products I use everyday. Incidentally I feel much better about buying Natures Promise products.

Great for Leftist virtue signaling. Not much else.. If you’re looking for a way to help avoid products that financially contribute to Big Tech, Communism, China, Iran, Turkey, the Communist Chinese Party (CCP), Socialism and other enemies of freedom and generally evil entities, then this is not the app you want. Seems to be a poorly assembled collection of leftist-friendly circle jerkery. Major missed opportunity. As usual, big tech and its over-representation of radical leftists have excluded half the of the population with this pointless app.

A step in the right direction. Trying to be an ethical consumer can be overwhelming. This app may not cover everything, but it makes taking that first step so much easier. I share it with friends all the time.

Good. We enjoy the app. It saves us time to be able to scan codes instead of look up parent companies while shopping. We would like to see something added to help use less plastic and create less waste. Please continue adding products.

This is awesome. I have always wished for something like this to be around when I needed it. I am trying to buy products I believe in and this helps a whole lot.

Everyone must get this. I started using buycott a few years ago and buy using it consistently a few times in stores, I've gotten to know which products I want to support. Great app. Everyone must download asap.

Dynamite. Love this app! Feel it is still evolving and happy for it. Wish I could type the name of a company and bring up info yet as it is I use it to make purchasing decisions that are more in line with my aspirations. Love it! Thank you and keep up the good work!

Good buy. I really appreciate this app helping me avoid giving my money to companies that support sweat shops or that work against labeling GMOs or that support SOPA and open up the presidential debates on both sides and many other causes but why dont I see causes that support the 2nd amendment or amcause against Drs castarting children and giving them puberty blockers and other causes that millions of us care about?

Love it. So handy. I this all the time so that I can make good decisions about what I buy. I've made so many discoveries about so-called earth friendly and organic products that have a Darkside, contributing to GMOlegislation not in our favor.

Putting My Money Where My Mouth Is. Love this app. Makes the choices at the grocery so much easier when I know I'm not somehow finding something against my beliefs. And it's really easy to use. Highly recommended.

Useful source to support what you believe in. This app gives me the opportunity to know the "behind the scenes" of those brands I shop; that transparency allows me to better choose the companies I want to support by buying their products. Also gives me alternatives to buy of brands that are more according to my values. I really like it.

Once a great app, now getting worse and worse. This has gone from being a really useful, relevant application, to a very annoying Facebook-wannabe data-miner of personal info. Very hard to edit my own campaigns but tons of "friend us on Twitter" and "follow us on Facebook" annoying calls to action. Did a horde of idiotic marketers chase away the original development team? And what happened to the real campaigns? Maybe the lobbies have actually neutralized this, once great, app. Very sad.

DO NOT BUY! Always crashing. The idea is amazing and helpful but the bugs on this thing is insane. I saw a review from SIX YEARS AGO that mentioned my exact experience and I find it absurd that it hasn’t been fixed since then. I can’t scan 3 items in a row without the app just shutting down and finding myself in my Home Screen. If we’re paying for this app please fix it!!

Very Helpful!. a very useful app to have when you are deciding between products when you're shopping. I like how it has the family tree for companies so you can see who knows who and stuff. Very useful and helpful!

Crashes when selecting buy/no buy. App crashes when I click the “buy” button, but when I click the “no buy” button it works fine. I find the family tree option very helpful, but my profile actions are now all screwed up because I was dealing with the crashes. Wish there was a way to edit the actions in cases like this.

Great app to know where your food is coming from. It nice that I can learn more about the company's and how the produce the food we eat. Since we are constantly being fed mis information on the food we eat this is good way to become a more informed shopper.

Once I realized I vote every day with my purchases.... I downloaded this app! I'm so grateful this exists! Once you do some research and figure out how the government and corporations are intertwined, you'll understand the importance of using this every day!

Crash crash crash. Wow this app crashes a lot! Every time I look up “family tree”. I love the idea of this app. But it definitely needs more bug fixes. I’ve had the app for about 5 minutes... not sure if it will be staying on my phone until I can actually use it properly 😉

Great way to keep track!. I've always been aware of the problems with corporations. It's tough to keep track of all of them efficiently. This app does that for you, and it does it pretty well. There are even ways to contest certain assertions that may not be supported by evidence.

Great idea; seems to lack oversight. I think this app is a wonderful idea, and it seems to function very well as it is. However, it’s apparent that there is not much of a verification process for what goes into it. For example, There’s an anti fluoride campaign on here who’s description is full of pretty typical misinformation and outright falsehoods. It makes me question the accuracy of other data here.

What we need now. What we need now more than ever is to realize the power of our purchasing dollar. Amazing and nearly flawless app, considering the vast amount of information it has to organize to get the message across.

Easy to use and informative. This has really helped me select the things I buy more thoughtfully. You'd be surprised what products seem like small companies but are really part of a large corporation.

One of my favorite most easy ways to stay informed as a consumer. One of my favorite most easy ways to stay informed as a consumer, wish more people would participate but the app itself is great

Good idea, uneven execution. No way to remove yourself from a campaign that I can tell (what’s the usefulness of “likely to contain GMOs unless it clearly states otherwise”? That sound like everything gets automatically put into the bad guy category, and I don’t need an app to be able to read obvious labels), and there’s not enough transparency about how the determinations are made.

A useful, educational everyday tool. Beautiful concept, great app. It’s a wonderful tool to have and I especially like the “Family Tree” feature so I can see a company’s relationships. I only wish there were more people using it and cataloging products and causes. The app can only be as strong as its users. We need to contribute just as much as we use it.

Changed for the worse. I used this app many years ago and found it helpful. There were a wide variety of campaigns, many that were important to me. I think users could create their own campaigns then. Now it seems to be just another place to regurgitate the same opinions of the mainstream media. They've added a shine new UI but I can't leave campaigns that in was put in that I didn't want and I see no way to delete my account. Junk!

Glad to have it.. This app is very well done. I appreciate the information given with each cause so that I can do my own research or have in depth descriptions of what I am or am not supporting. I'm glad to see it growing.

I really enjoy.... I really enjoy knowing what I'm supporting by what I purchase. I am using this app to help me support the ideas that mean a lot to me like environmentalism. I am taking baby steps by changing a few things (or not) based on the knowledge I gain from this app. 😊👍

PUBLIC IGNORANCE IS CORPORATE BLISS. In this "Democracy", making your voice heard does little because those who should be listening have ears stuffed with money. Make them listen; Take that money and stuff it somewhere worthwhile. Your dollar is your vote in a capitalist society. Use it wisely. Get in informed with this app and other recourses. Public ignorance is corporate bliss!

Doesn’t work as well as it used to sadly. Last few items I scanned either produced errors or “no results”. Tremendous potential here but I guess it’s hard to be self sustaining when you are challenging the system

Fabulous, helpful app. I love this app because it helps me sort out the products I may buy when I’m shopping. I have very strong beliefs and I don’t want to support companies who have certain conflicting beliefs

Confused. I paid for this app at a family member’s high recommendation. It has never worked… after choosing my campaigns and attempting to scan my first item at the store, the app shut down and won’t work. Each time I reopened the app, it’s at the scanner but shuts off after a few seconds. I have made sure my phone is updated and that I have the latest app version. If anyone can help, I’d sure like to use this app.

Have only started using it, but idea seems great. Seems like an awesome idea, if everyone got in on this, our money would really begin counting. I love the transparency this app gives. Definite must have for everyone!
