Find hidden additives, seed oils, sweeteners and dyes. Scan the ingredients and see what’s really inside. Now works with food, cosmetics and household products. ALWAYS CHOOSE BETTER. "Natural." "Light." "Better for you." Sounds good, right? That is exactly what the front of the package is supposed to do. Now flip it over. The ingredient list tells the rest. Seed oils, artificial sweeteners, food dyes, preservatives, hidden additives - suddenly that perfect little snack looks a bit more interesting. No need to guess. Scan the label. Let Picky check. THE FRONT SELLS. PICKY CHECKS. Pretty packaging is good at its job. Healthy claims. Bright colors. Perfect promises. Picky looks past all that and checks the actual ingredient list. See what's really inside. Spot seed oils. Find sweeteners. Catch food dyes. Check hidden additives. Tiny print, meet Picky. SCAN THE ACTUAL INGREDIENTS No barcode? No problem. Just take a photo. Picky reads the food label and breaks down the ingredients in seconds. No endless searching. No ingredient Googling. No tiny-print headache. That strange ingredient you've never heard of? Picky explains it in plain English. Much easier. LOOK PAST THE PACKAGING That protein bar looks healthy. The cereal does too. So does the sauce. And that kids' snack looks adorable. Packaging can make almost anything look good. Ingredients are harder to dress up. Picky checks what is actually there. Spot preservatives. Find sweeteners. See seed oils. Catch food dyes. Know before you buy. Because the prettiest package doesn't always have the prettiest ingredient list. MAKE EVERY SCAN PERSONAL Your food choices are personal. Maybe you avoid gluten. Maybe it's dairy. Maybe soy, sweeteners or certain additives are on your list. Tell Picky what you prefer and what you want to avoid. Then every scan gets more useful. Your preferences. Your food goals. Your ingredient choices. Picky keeps them in mind. COMPARE BEFORE YOU CHOOSE Two cereals look almost identical. So which one goes in the cart? Scan both. Picky compares their ingredients side by side. See what's different. Spot extra additives. Compare ingredient lists. No standing in the aisle decoding tiny labels. Just compare and choose. GET PICKY'S TAKE Sometimes you don't want another list. You just want the answer. Open Ask Picky and get a quick opinion on the product you scanned. Short explanation. Clear reasoning. Straight answer. Still unsure? That's what Picky is for. KEEP THE GOOD ONES Found something you like? Keep it close. Your scan history saves previous products and results, so you don't have to inspect the same label again next week. Previous products. Previous results. Previous comparisons. All ready when you need them. WITH ASK PICKY YOU CAN: • Scan food ingredient lists • Check food additives • Find seed oils • Spot artificial sweeteners • See food dyes • Check preservatives • Understand unfamiliar ingredients • Personalize every scan • Compare two products • Get Picky's opinion • Save previous scans PACKAGING SELLS THE PRODUCT. Picky reads the ingredients. Flip it over. Take a photo. See what's inside. Simple, right? Let Picky be picky.
