Ratings and Reviews
Beautiful but limited
This app is beautifully designed and a breeze to use. I've learned a lot from it already. The problem is there are very few international products on the list (outside of the US), and my submissions still aren't added even though I've been scanning a lot. There's really no excuse for this if they typically have the same offending ingredients that you need to look out for in order to rate the products. I would also love if you made a sister app that was all about foods and beverages!
Developer Response ,
Thanks for your review. We are sorry that you couldn’t find the product that you submitted. We constantly try to add more products to the database and rely on our users to tell us which are most in-demand. That being said, we receive thousands of submissions weekly and it can take time for the products to be input into our database. If you email us at questions@thinkdirtyapp.com, we will try our best to add your products.
Wealth of knowledge
Phenomenal app. Got recommended this app from a podcast. Finally gave it a go. I found about half of my products on it, being based in Australia. I submitted the other half (mainly through a series of photos) and was gobsmacked to see the results were up the next day! I found that it’s important to distinguish the Aussie version of a product (via its barcode) to say its international version as the regulations may differ. Overall, it seemed most of my products were green or yellow. But two came up red and I loved that I could research alternatives and save them to my “clean products” list for future reference. I’ve already sourced one clean alternative, which I’m thrilled about. The ingredient database is extensive and rich with information and references. Being able to’flag’ certain ingredients as a user is also helpful. I’m confident I may be able to solve which ingredient(s) are behind my lifelong sunscreen allergy (contact dermatitis). I’m incredibly impressed by the work the developers have put into the app. This is a medical revolution that traditional healthcare is yet to embrace.
Suggestion: separate store notifications from user notifications. I received 3-4 “salesy” notifications at once about making a purchase from the store which was a bit much.

Waste of time!
I’m in Australia so I fully anticipated that there would be a limited selection of Aussie products that you have reviewed. I didn’t expect however that it would take over 2 months for products to be added to the database after I have gone to the effort of scanning it, taking photos, editing the spelling mistakes in the ingredient lists because the software has read the label incorrectly.
Then you have the audacity to send me annoying notifications for products that I can’t buy because they are in America. If you are going to tout yourselves as a global authority on natural products then have the foresight to tailor your advertising pitch to local markets. No one wants to wait a month for overseas shipping when they can go to the local health food store and get a better product anyway.
I was recommended this app by a friend so I gave it the benefit of doubt that it would improve but to be honest I’ve just been disappointed from the get go.
