Seed Oil Scout: Healthy Dining 9+

The most important app

This app is critically important to those that understand the dangers of machines lubricants AKA seed oils. Download and use this app to understand which restaurants are poisoning people. Love the ability to quickly email restaurants with a ready to go format you can copy and paste. You don’t even need to search for emails this app takes you right to the contact us page for a restaurant. As more people use this app and post reviews restaurant’s will be forced to change as the negative reviews grow. App works as advertised. Easy 5 stars. Won’t go out to eat without opening Seed Oil Scout first. Keep emailing and posting reviews everyone. We can change the food system overtime!

Another Money Grab

Just another organization who claims to carry about public health but keeps everything hidden behind a paywall. When I first downloaded this app it was free to use. I found it “somewhat” useful then, and even added a few restaurants I’ve dined at that don’t use seed oils. I didn’t enjoy that the majority of the food joints listed were all “dine shamefully” or “dine cautiously”, most of which were obvious…like fast food places. I had to sift through countless restaurants to find just one that was listed as not using seed oils. I get that that’s because the majority of places DO use seed oils, but maybe just only have the locations that don’t in your database. Even if they only use seed oils for some things, they simply should not qualify. Either way it no longer matters because you can no longer access ANY aspect of the app without paying for it. You can’t even bypass the free trial for use of limited features within the app. It’s ALL or nothing. I hope this blows up in their faces. You had a good idea, with good intentions, and let greed take over. I get we all have to make money but $9 a month for an app….that’s not even a great app to begin with, just a good idea, is a bit rich for most people’s blood. Deleting this app. I hope someone else comes along and does it better without a stupid pay way. Use ads, or something, it’s not that difficult to make it free or affordable if you actually cared about people’s health.

Creating a barrier to something everyone needs

I have been a long time user of this app. I have contributed over 50 reviews and comtacted so many local restaurants to discuss oils with them to help myself understand my risks eating out and this app was a wonderful way to share that knowledge and help others. Key word is WAS. They now charge you to use a crowd sourced app. I would 10 out of 10 times prefer viewing ads over paying for an app that is supposed to be bringing these ideas and mentality about seed oils to the public. Now it just seems like a private group that you have to pay to be a part of. Super disappointed in where this has gone
