You can’t even use this app without first signing up for a paid subscription, totally useless. They completely lie about the 30 day free trial. I was charged as soon as I signed up for the $2.99/mo plan. Total ripoff.

This was a good app, but now they want a ton of money. Thanks but no thanks.
Just downloaded the app and find it has a lot of good information. As a burgeoning foodie, I would like to see the app describe more how best to care for and store the particular types of produce. Otherwise, I feel like I will make good use of the information provided.
No Longer Free– I work in produce and used this app all the time so i could better inform my customers about different fruits and vegetables, but an outrageous subscription is now required to get info i could easily pull from Google myself. I liked this app because I could easily search in one convenient […]
Developers of the app are not very transparent. The app is free to download and install but when launched, immediately requires your info and $25/yr to use. There’s no explanation what the user gets for the payment during enrollment making the secrecy experience feel like a scam.
$25 yearly subscription!? You’re out of your minds. I understand there is a free version, but it’s extremely limited. To actually use the app, you need the full version and it is definitely NOT worth that price. Why not just Google things at that point? The creators of this app do not realize what an […]
Awesome database of fruits, veggies, legumes and more! this app is amazing for identifying foreign items, as well as learning their history and how to cook with them. there’s even a shared market (which I haven’t used yet, but excited to explore!) definitely recommend this app for chefs as well as veggie-curious enthusiasts!
Changing to a subscription model was not the move. Although I can appreciate the work involved in app development and compiling information on produce, I can’t justify another subscription. Having to access the mobile site essentially means the app is just taking up space on my device.
After moving to coastal California several months ago, this has become my favorite subscription! Every new variety of fruit I find at farmers markets is right at my fingertips and so easy to find through this app! Its opened me up to trying so many new foods I dont think I would have had the […]
Now requires subscription, user interface looks worse. I used to recommend this app for my produce employees to further assist customers with product assistance. While I appreciate everything that you guys have done, $25 a year to view product information in app was not the right way to do it. The extra steps to jump […]
Subscribe Pay wall. Enough said. Used to a better app. Would not mind paying for it as a one time purchase but subscription is HUGE turn off. I will say there is a lot of information about things and that is great but the free version is a joke. Only a pic of the item […]
The App is great! it is loaded with all kinds of information about everday, exotic and seasonal produce. I also like the recipe section of the app. it’s filled with recipes from drinks, to main course meals, stuff for kids and so much more. This truly is a one stop shop I totally recommend!
As an employee in the Produce department at a grocery store, this was an invaluable app. It was useful for informing customers of different seasons and uses of each item, now with the subscription I’m uninstalling this. Such a let down, Google is my new friend for Produce information (plus it’s free still.)
been using this for over 7 years to make better choices. ive recommended this to many people. now you charge a fee for the app, and made the app worse not better. your response is the mobile website is still free, but you seem to know that most used your app and using a website […]
I love that I am able to learn so much from this app. A great tool when we go apple picking, among other uses. To those complaining about the $25/year subscription… Use the website, it’s free. The app is here as a convenience and it’s not free to create all this content. The 25/year works […]
Wow, this app is impressive. It’s a shame that whenever I subscribe, the app doesn’t seem to know that I have and Google play automatically cuts my subscription off because I’m “not using it” (even though I’m using it daily) but I never got refunded and the app won’t restore my purchases. I don’t want […]
Ruined it for consumers. App used to be perfect when shopping to answer “what is this new fruit” questions. With it, I’ve discovered new favorite apples, etc. Worked offline (e.g. in stores with poor signal). Now, it requires an expensive subscription. There are also links to a free but limited and non-mobile-optimized website. No thanks.
My original review (deleted) from Sept. 2019: I had been using the free version of this app and loved it, most especially the ability to add my own notes to products we carried. I spent a lot of time gathering & noting info like PLU#s, suppliers, where in the world it was actually grown, etc… […]
I found the website today and was thrilled to see there was a mobile app. Then I discovered there was a $25/yr subscription to use the app?! The same info already exists for free on the website, so it being “research and photography” costs is BS. And we know the “technology” for mobile apps is […]
I really dislike the subscription model of either a full year’s license up front or a 30 day trial. There is no monthly fee. I bet more people would be giving them money if there was one. Unfortunately you have to have enough in your Google account to pay to access the trial. I had […]
