Allergy Smart 4+

I have had many sensitivities for the majority of my life, and Allergy Smart has haloed me make sure I only eat the foods that won’t leave me vomiting or in pain on the toilet! With Allergy Smart, I’ve been able to gain more confidence with going out to eat with my friends, no more scanning menus and making phone calls days in advance! Grocery shopping is a breeze now that I can simply and easily get a yes no answer to the problem of checking what’s safe, and I’ve been able to branch out so much more with my options!

I love the idea of this app. As the mom of a young child with a life threatening peanut allergy, it’s daunting to eat food from outside our home. In its current state, my biggest concern with the app is that if a restaurant has not yet provided an ingredient list, it presents as safe (for example, Cold Stone Creamery currently shows the safe icon and even when I look at something with peanut in the name, it displays the safe icon). I’d recommend defaulting to a caution icon if ingredients aren’t provided.
Additionally, it would be helpful to have information on risk of cross-contamination and the date of the last update (menus change frequently and if the information is from January of 2021 and it’s now end of 2022, there has probably been a menu update or two).
Unfortunately, I just don’t feel that I can trust this app for guidance on safe dining. I still have to do just as much research as I did before using the app.

I hate this app it’s bad the developer punted my dog out the window. I can’t believe this app it’s so useless it doesn’t tell me which foods I’m allergic too even though I’m not allergic to any food. The developer put my firstborn in the microwave. Honestly just unfortunate I had such high hopes for this app because the developer is my son. This is so sad. 5/5 stars
