Great concept, but it missed the mark for me. I don't need help reading labels - I was looking for help identifying alpha gal allergens in restaurants where ingredients are harder to identify and the data was wrong. Menu items I know are safe were labeled unsafe (NBD) but mostly there was just no info at all. Also, the setup was lengthy and forces you to pick from sets of options to personalize your experience but there's no N/A, so I had to make stuff up just to get to the next screen.

I love this app!!! I have a lot of dietary restrictions, and even with putting in what I can't have, I still find delicious food that I can eat. I 1000% percent recommend this app. It has recently started closing out for no reason when I try to get into the app to do anything, and it also lags, so I'm not sure it if needs an update because I check in the play store, and it doesn't indicate that it needs an update, but this app still gets 5 stars.

Was looking for an easy way to search for FODMAP content in common foods. In the five minutes I was able to use the app, there was no easy way I could find without manually creating a sensitivity for every food. Then it kicked me out and tried to force me to register. Why would I give my contact information just to get food info? Especially when getting that food info seems cumbersome. App uninstalled, mandatory subscription cancelled. This feels like a data grab and a scam.

Finally, we are able to go grocery shopping in a quarter of the time it used to take. I have an allergy to an ingredient that causes anaphylaxis. It is in everything from medicine, some frozen foods, fresh foods, baked goods, it can be in anything and everything. We dreaded grocery shopping. My husband and I downloaded the app, surprised that the ingredient was already an option. Looking forward to more restaurants being added. We have been recommending this app to everyone.

The app uses a surprisingly large amount of mobile data, I might ditch it for that alone. I think this app is too sensitive for people with IBS and intolerances because it will flag ingredients even in tiny amounts. It is out of date for some products that frequently change their ingredients. Free scans are very limited after your first days. I do find it useful to find which products are safer than others for me, but the search feature mostly lists stuff not available in my region.

I've had this app for less than a week, and it was great at first, but then it started crashing. It worked fine the first 5 days of my free trial, but on the 6th day, it kept shutting down shortly after opening the app. I cleared the cache, uninstalled and reinstalled, and updated the app, and it still is not working properly. I was excited to use this app to help with an allergy I have, but I will no longer be using the app since it continually crashes every time I open it.

was not useful. suggested restaurants and groceries against my many dietary restrictions. I know I have a very limited number of things I can consume, but I thought this app would help me find items that worked with all of my restrictions. For example, it suggested a sushi place as a 100% match when I can't eat crustacean and have GERD... the rolls that didn't have crab or shrimp were spicy... not worth the time filling out restrictions or preferences.

I absolutely love this app! Earlier this year it was confirmed that gluten needed to be omitted from my diet. I have other restrictions also so FIG is perfect for me. I input my restrictions, etc. and when I scan items at the grocery store or at home I am alerted if the item is safe or if I need to futher research. Oh! I also use the scan function while shopping online. If an item that I am interested in purchasing has a visible bar code the scanner works when I scan it from my laptop screen! đź‘Ť

Update 8/2: sent a new email. STILL haven't heard back from customer service! The app has not allowed me to sign in since I downloaded it. There is an error every time. I contacted their customer service and have yet to hear back. I better not be charged when I can't even get in for the free trial!

I truely like Fig but I have a s22 ultra with a very good processor and plenty of ram, and yet this app crashes constantly. like every 30 seconds of browsing through my dietary options. the app itself would be and is extremely helpful, visually its good looking and easy to navigate and impressive at deciphering so many different diets and restrictions, but its useless if i can't keep it open. I hope this app gets more development and is stable, but until then I can't recommend it. i
