Pros and cons of Buycott - Barcode Scanner & QR Bar Code Scanner app for iPhone and iPad
Buycott - Barcode Scanner & QR Bar Code Scanner app good for
Actions matter more than words! Put your money where it matters.
Best app ever! I bring you to the grocery store every time I shop it allows me to make informed decisions about what I put in my mouth and also where my money goes indispensable accurate and timely. Remember the only way to fight giant corporations is with your money you vote with your money every time you purchase something!
Most of us want change. We want healthy food and opportunity. This app gives us a path to create our own future from devastating trade agreements to climate change. One of the greatest men of our times stated "together there is nothing we cannot accomplish". Thanks to the developers for one of the most powerful apps in existence. It is Bernie worthy.
If you want to fly down a rabbit hole of paranoia and despair left standing in the aisle of the grocery store, frozen with fear and trapped like a rat every time you scan a product, then this puppys for you. I didnt know if I was going to sh*t or go blind. Its that good
This app is perfect if you want to know what youre supporting when buying groceries etc
Havent found a product yet that it doesnt have info about. And Im in Canada so thats saying a lot.
Some bad moments
Canadians need not use this product as its only good elsewhere.
I dont want to create an account to be able to follow campaigns. This is really disappointing. If this doesnt change Ill delete this app.
Seems that when I "warn" a company that I am BOYCOTTING their products, I cannot seem to be able to post my message consistently. It will offer option to "skip sharing" and post nothing at all, or click on a bunch of social media options, AFTER I select Facebook, Twitter and/or Email with iPhone on/off slide switches.
I like the ability to scan barcodes, and determine whether or not I should buy a product based on my own principles, but the warning company part of the app NEEDS to be IMPROVED.
With this app people are able to choose which campaign a company would support. These arent always correct and make some companies look worse than they actually are. App spams you to rate five stars upon opening and for each subsequent scan.
It doesnt show the proper output and there is not enough products on this app.
otherwise it seems like a most excellent app to help boycott Countries like Israel and Companys that we dont want to support.
