Background

I co-founded this app with two others. Our mission was to make finding gluten free products as easy as possible. We want to keep things simple and straightforward

Launched in October 2022

We launched our MVP on iPhone and Android and have seen a steady increase in users

Simplicity as its core

The app is simple - you scan a product and you are told whether or not the product contains gluten

Allowing users to add missing information

When we launched,  if a user scanned a product that we didn't have the status for, we allowed them to visit an external site to add this information to a database.

But it made more sense to build the ability to do this in-app so we built the journey.

Adding multiple languages

Our most requested feature was to include multiple languages, so we did exactly. We used our date from Firebase to identify the languages of our top users

Light and dark modes

We want our users to view the app as they want to

Removing adverts

Another feature we were asked about a lot, was the ability to remove the interstitial adverts.

So we now offer a subscription where users no longer see adverts
