paid for what exactly?
I was willing to pay the cost of this app even though I normally don’t like spending money on apps, this seemed important though. immediately I was unable to open an account, then it was saying I did have an account, but then wouldn’t let me log in. I tried to make an account with facebook which said that the app isn’t currently operable… wondering why it’s still in the app store and able to purchased if the app is unusable? I also tried the website which is down. hope another option like this pops up soon.

Eh
Overall I think the app work okay. Of course as other people have mentioned, it can be very buggy and difficult to use at times. It can be a bit anxiety inducing when you’re standing in a busy aisle at the store waiting for it to load. But I really love the variety of campaigns you can sign up for and there’s a lot of important and useful information under the bigger campaigns. That being said i’ve noticed sometimes campaigns don’t take into account parent companies since so many companies are owned by just a few so sometimes I end up having to double check.

Great app but
The family tree needs to be vertical instead of horizontal. Sending people corporate tree info requires a screen recording instead of a screen shot. This seems like a pretty big oversight. Also there’s nothing about the Kellogg’s boycott on there which surprises me and no way to enter the boycott in. Buycott should be the number one resource on which products to avoid, especially now. Has this app been abandoned?

Revolutionary!
This app and the entire concept is amazing! As with most new apps I’m sure there are bugs but one in particular for me, and only reason I’m putting 4 instead of 5 stars is the barcode scans NEVER works. I can easily type it in but if it’s something that needs to be adjusted I definitely wanna bring attention to it! Ty for the app and the freedom to know who I’m giving my money to.

Great Tool but an issue
I like the concept but needs to be more reliable. I have joined a few campaigns and have additional companies to add to these campaigns but when adding a company I get kicked out, attempted several times but no luck before it quits the app and I need to go back in, the companies I want to add are all around us so its important to add them so people are aware. Let me know once resolved. I did refer the app to a dozen friends and family so would like for it to be more efficient and effective in supporting our values. Thank you

Needs more work but I am thankful it exists
It’s a bit buggy and hard to navigate im unsure of how to leave causes and sometimes the navigation is quite confusing Needs more information on corporations and more items in general but i have faith in this app hire more people and keep at it and i think this app will be absolutely amazing one day

Disorganized, buggy, but very helpful.
Definitely needs work- scanner doesn’t work when you back out of a scanned product to use it again, crashes on occasion, lots of gaps to fill in products so it sometimes takes more time to get your answer. That being said, money speaks. This is a good resource, and as long as it continues to improve, it will remain a helpful resource.

DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY
The idea behind this app is great, but they desperately need to fix the problems with it. For one, the barcode scanner is terrible and it takes forever to actually get it to read barcodes, but even once it goes through you sometimes get a “product not found” error message. I’ve tried it on products that should definitely be in the system and it still happens. Secondly and most importantly, the information about the products is often not accurate! The first item I scanned showed that it had no conflicts with the cause I was supporting, but a simple google search told me that was completely fals

Love It
I’m doing my best to a void giving money to those corporations utilizing exploited laborers or causing environmental degradation/destruction. Short of having your own small subsistence farm, it’s almost impossible to a void utilizing products from these companies. But this app helps me to identify those corporations I definitely do not want to support and/or help me choose the lesser of the evils or recommends a better product. Love it.

Serious Design Flaws
Doesn’t seem to be possible to remove a campaign from your list once it’s added. Can’t get support from the webpage because the “download app” banner blocks the main menu button and has no close-out option. Once I found a way around this and tried to actually click the search bar, on mobile it does absolutely nothing. Can’t click, can’t get typing cursor. In the app when searching something, the search results that come up block half of the “campaigns, people, products” menu, so you can’t sort the results. App and website need serious improvement to be useable, they’re a nightmare (website, o

Disorganized, buggy, but a good idea
This is my dream app. It just needs to function. I can’t view any campaigns under the environment tab and haven’t been able to since I downloaded the app a month ago. Also, on a company profile, it’ll show a number of “other campaigns” but when I click it sometimes it will show many campaigns less than that number or none at all. There’s no way that I can find to add info about a product or company that only exists, you can just report an innaccuracy. I also don’t know how to create products. I also don’t know what an “action” is or how to take one. When I first started using it there was a s

Buyer Beware... you’ll need more research than this app!
There are some good bits of information on here, but there’s a lot of misleading information as well. You don’t know who is putting up the different campaigns or where they got their information. There’s no one to ask either. The causes listed are all good causes, but this app tries to simplify boycotting companies and products down too much. Some of the companies on this list are trying to work on these issues, but they can take time and those discussions are not part of this app either.

Outdated, full of false information
I’ve always said that capitalism could be used to accomplish great change by informed consumers, so I was excited at the idea of this app. I’m disappointed to find it hasn’t seen an update in 2 years and is full of bad info. Many companies are cited as having connections to certain causes (positive or negative) that aren’t true. Take, for instance, Tillamook, a dairy company from my home state of Oregon. They’re listed as being a primary client of an Israeli textile manufacturer and the source cited for this says NOTHING about Tillamook. I found that almost all sources cited for all 26 of th

voting with my dollar
This app has personally helped me “vote” with my purchases. It’s helped me stay informed by avoiding purchasing from certain companies that I wish to not support and makes me feel better about my shopping. It’s really easy to use, most the time all I have to do is scan a barcode and I’m immediately informed about that particular product. Thank you for making my life easier!

Great app but
To be honest, I think it is hard to keep track of all the companies and subsidiaries as there are so many products and, I suspect, diversification and diversions by corporations. However, I was disappointed to find out that they did not know that Garden of Life is owned by Nestlé. I had been buying a lot of their products and therefore unwittingly supporting an extremely immoral company; fortunately my step-daughter is more savvy and figured it out. I will still use their app and still highly recommend it but do your research too. The other great thing is that it will send a notification to

Needs improvements
The workings of the app itself is fine. It’s the design that went into the buycott campaigns that isn’t functioning as intended. Who are the moderators for each campaign and how can we trust that they are informed, active, and reevaluate each company based on new evidence? If we can’t trust them (MANY are inactive, don’t make a complete listing of companies, or have made factually inaccurate decisions) then there should be community-run ways to edit the campaign information, such as: 1. The ability to suggest a company be moved from category to category (right now there is only the option

Love it, needs some work
I love this app and believe it can do some good work, but I fear that it could lose worth and users due to lack of activity. Whether it be campaign runners or anyone, it is important to stay up to date and relevant. Otherwise what’s the point? Please clean house and update products, companies, and campaigns. This means take down unresponsive and unhelpful and untrue campaigns and products please. Thank you

Please enable search without barcode
I get most of my groceries through Peapod and Fresh Direct. It would be great to be able to search items by name before I create my shopping list. Even for shopping in the physical store, it’s time consuming to stop and scan in the store — I would much prefer to learn about the products when I’m making my shopping list. Thanks for considering!

Divisive
This app is completely biased to liberals and progressives. There are a few campaigns on here that any decent human should be in favor of supporting (infringements on basic human rights) but then there are the silly ones like “boycott Donald Trump” that are just meant to divide people. If that is on this app then there should be a campaign that supports the opposite side of the spectrum. I’m sure if you asked the developer their point of view on equality they would be all for equal distribution of opportunities but yet here they are be exclusive rather than inclusive. Let’s try to do things th

Speak with your wallet
The only way to actually get companies to do that right thing, is to not do business with bad companies, and give your money from good companies. This app allows you to easily avoid certain products as it tells you what it’s parent company does, whether good or bad, and provides alternative products if you decide not to buy it. You can also add friends and see what decisions they have made (if they decide to turn that on of course). It’s a great app that allows you to easily make good purchasing decisions. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Amazing idea and start to a world changing app
Some of the foods I am interested in buying, have no information about them on this app. (they aren’t in this database anymore than just a name). So this bums me out because it only really sticks to larger brands. Most large brands are all bad and should be avoided in general. I wish there was an option for me to send a note that certain products need some research done! I would love to help be part of the truth revealing! Thank you for what information IS offered though. This is a great idea coming to life. I hope some day there is a way good company brands can be rewarded from this...and evi

Good idea with room for improvement
I like the concept of knowing what I buy based on my politics. The drawbacks: wish there's an optional search by company name instead of only scanning. Search is slow when in stores due to jamming signals and limited broadband. There is no contact information on website alone. Just came across grossly inaccurate information about a favorite product, which took some time figuring out who to contact for correction. Caveat Emptor

Don’t Just Complain, Take Action
Your money is your power, and we need to stop giving that power away to people and institutions who cause us harm, danger and imbalance. This app helps you redirect that power responsibly. Is it a perfect app? No. But it’s free, and it’s effective, and it is one of the few apps that actually makes a difference in the world. I’d rather join the couple million Buycott users who question their purchases -who take a moment to stand up for their values - than the billions who just mindlessly complain and consume.

Helps me stay on track with what matters to me.
I’ve been using this app for years and really appreciate that it helps me stay on track with what matters to me and my family. Many times I have returned products to the shelf because they didn’t meet the criteria that matters to me. People see me use it in the store and I tell them all about it. It’s a great resource! Try it you won’t be sorry.

Great Educational Tool!:)
Been using it for years so this review is late. Got tired of the prompt to to review every time I opened the app in the store LOL. The good - different campaigns offer new perspective and learning opportunities to expand your horizons regarding the adulteration/destruction of food by big farma & big companies and the diabolical ties that have been created in the pursuit of making $$$. I also found international items in the database. The bad - unfortunately even food is politicized and the “identity politics” is nauseating😕. Just keep telling yourself you’re here for the food, health and to

Good idea but too political
There is very little choice where I live but I like the idea of a organic user created database(if that’s what it and not yet another illusion). Disappointed in it’s obvious political orientation as any intelligent person would not believe we have a choice in partisan politics or really in anything; wish there was a way to buycott the federal reserve and if they want to make their app about politics and social justice they should start by explaining the banking system, fiat currencies, and those who control it(the same people that control the media, our food, and everything else). But all we

Money = Votes
Do you feel powerless due to politicians not representing us anymore? Do you feel like companies with lobbyists have a louder voice in important decision making than we the people do? Then vote with your money. Companies hear money (or lack of) more clearly than they do the vocal concerns of the public. This app allows you to know which companies are profiting from your grocery store or product purchases. Buycott give you the power to make informed purchasing decisions. Vote with your dollar, help the companies who care with your hard earned money. And remember that we are all in this together

Helps me make decisions that are right
When I first open the app I was a little put off because it seems to be super liberal. It’s so hard to find good information that isn’t slanted so I tried look past that. I actually use this app to support Trump and buy products from several other corporations that seem to politically offend Buycott. I just had to turn it around to use it to support what I think is right.

Vote with your wallet !
I love that this app makes it convenient to only support companies and products that are parallel with what I believe in. I also love how easy it is to share socially when you've made a product choice, and to write companies directly to encourage them to change! Thanks for making this world a little easier to navigate every day!

Giving back to the world
This app really makes me feel like I’m helping the world even a little. I have learned so much being able to scan a product and find out how it impacts the world around me. I don’t use it constantly with everything I buy. But I use it as much as I can and I feel like a better person for it.
