Buycott Customer Insights

1. Hopefully these capabilities will come in time.The design is cool, it has a built in system that allows you to learn about many different causes (ranging from keeping away from child slavery to factory farms to the illusion of choice.) I signed up for some of these causes (a few were aimed at staying away from Walmart) so to check if it worked I grabbed some Walmart stuff from home, scanned it, and it said that there's nothing against the causes I've chosen to keep me from buying it.

2. Id really like to use this as its been recommended for current boycotts, but in its current state Google is more reliable.I first tried to scan some local products... the vibration when the app can't find the item is really annoying and I didn't see a way to turn it off.

3. Like others have mentioned, would like an app that highlights companies we can safely buy vs ones we can't, would be far more useful and also give those companies doing the right thing desperately needed visibility vs the multibillion dollar marketing dollars spent by all the dirty companies.Ok this app is a really cool idea but I have three HUGE complaints.

4. Just let me see all the causes a company is connected to.The last update was in 2016!!! This app has a lot of potential and I hope with the influx of downloads and use of this app that the developers don't give up on it! A lot of the information is user sourced so we input where a certain product/company has ties to what we're boycotting.

5. I also had an issue with the barcode scanner trying to scan everything even if it wasn't yet fully visible which lead to a lot of errors and frustrationCan be very slow/freeze, but generally, eventually works, and that's the key, considering.

6. Second, I want to buy non-China products and there's no cause in this app regarding the avoidance of China products, which given the nature of this app, you must admit, that's kind of scandalous.

7. Also the scanner seems to scan the barcode before it's even properly in frame often coming up with an error reading making this app nearly useless.

8. Overall, dissatisfied.I love the idea, but unless you sign up for the individual campaign's that go against your values you don't know the negative actions of the company.

9. It would be good to be able to suggest a new attribute such as "certified cruelty free" or "uses sustainable Palm oil" but I only see an option to add conflicts.

10. When I scanned some more common items, the scanner worked well, but every item came up with zero supporting or conflicting.

11. I hope the developers keep working to improve it bc the UI and UX do have some issues but still good.A wonderful concept.
