Equal Eats 4+

Great for Travel!

We’ve used our hard copies of our Equal Eats cards for the past year and had tremendous success using them in France, Italy and Switzerland while traveling with our 12yo with peanut and tree nut allergies. As she’s entering the age of using her own phone and devices, I love being able to have these available digitally and not just hard copies that remain with one person. It also allows my husband to use the same app to present them to waiters/chefs if he is with her dining out without me (especially since the cards seem to live in my purse!).

You NEED this app!

The Equal Eats app is such a lifesaver! As someone with celiac disease who travels the world, I really don’t know what I would do without it. The subscription gets you access to every available allergen in every language which is just invaluable. This is by far the most helpful resource for communicating dietary restrictions while traveling!

Works ok, but a money grab

The translations are good and we used them on our trip successfully. But the app does not work offline (a travel app!), does not remember the language you were using last, is slow to change languages, and has a greedy subscription model.

It’s clear the subscription is there just to extract recurring money from you not to add any value.

We probably would have been fine using a standard translate app instead of buying this, with all the negatives.

Developer Response ,

Good news! Offline mode is now available! Also, you can now save your default language so it remembers for each use.

Thanks for your feedback! We take it seriously and have invested in the continuous improvement of the app.

Please be careful using any other translate app and double check translations. We use a three-tiered system to ensure accuracy. Our tech is continually improving (you have to start somewhere), but our process to ensure safe translations is steadfast and represents our true value.
