  • Paywall + Nondescriptive

    Sometimes says "and others" while listing out grocery stores of said recalled item which is just unhelpful. Paywalls access to states which the item got recalled in.

  • Doesn’t Work

    This app used to be extremely helpful but now you open it and see a black screen. They ruined it with the paywall feature. Will be deleting.

    This app used to be a great resource for public health awareness. Now they’ve made it so you can’t read a single recall without a paid subscription.

  • Public Safety Shouldn’t Be Paywalled

    This app built its reputation by helping people avoid contaminated food and dangerous products. Now? It’s just another bait-and-switch. You took a tool meant to protect public health and shoved it behind a paywall. Let’s be clear: food recall data is public. You didn’t create it—you aggregated it. And now you’re charging users for access to their own safety? Blaming “funding issues” and name-dropping the FDA doesn’t make this right—it just makes it look worse. Plenty of apps survive using ads, donations, or optional upgrades. Instead, you locked essential health alerts behind a subscription, then tried to spin it as necessary. It’s not. It’s a choice—a deliberate, greedy one. If you have any integrity left, bring back free access to critical recall alerts. Support the app with ads or paid extras if you must—but don’t hold public safety hostage for profit.

  • Immediately asks you to upgrade once you open the app

    As the title says, there's a pop up the moment you open the app. It is very pervasive and makes me want to google the information rather than rely on the app.

  • Paywalls Diminish Experience for this App

    Over the past several months, recall info has become increasingly limited due to paywalls.

  • Really Expensive & Unfair

    this app used to be great, and i used it all the time to soothe my anxiety about the food we bought. now its basically useless as i can’t even click on one of the items without a pop-up saying i should buy, and all features are behind a paywall. nice job ruining your app for money, though at least people are being sensible and you’re losing users.

  • Violating Apple Terms of Service?

    1. Apple allows app sellers to put new services behind paywalls and subscriptions, but does not allow app sellers to reduce existing functionality. This same thing happened with Airmail a few years ago, and the seller had to issue a new app that restored the functions that had been free. I would suggest filing complaints directly with Apple. 2. I find the idea that the seller was denied FDA funding laughable. As if they ever had it before (not). Federal agencies sometimes produce there own apps (TSA, CBP, USDA, to name a few), but do not fund private app sellers. Particularly when all this information is available for free. Specifically, there is an FDA example (search “FDA Age Calculator”) 3. In the interim, there are other apps that still do provide all this information (and more) for free. Search “FDA recalls” and you will find several free apps with similar functionality.

  • Premium

    This was a free app until now. You could open it and automatically access all features. Now you have to create a login and pay for premium to see the images and states affected. As people need this more and more, they decided to make money off you. Unsurprising but disappointing.
