Yuka Reviews 

Used to use and love app! But when the rating for Simple Truth organic tart cherry juice was rated 100/100 a month ago and I then drank it every evening before going to bed. Now the same juice is rated “poor” 49/100. I feel I have been scam about thinking I was drinking something healthy. I am returning my 5 jars tomorrow. 😡

I tried it and it was actually really good Its easy to use but it only scans skincare,food and some more 4 stars

I used to rely on this app for everything, but unfortunately, they do not fact check the information that’s provided to them about each product, they rely solely on the manufacturers label even if it’s inaccurate or misleading. I would be very careful in the future using this app until they base their approval on actual facts.

I am not exactly sure when I started using it, but it's definitely been more than 4 years. I rely on this app every time I want to switch shampoo, cream or even toothpaste.
My mum ended up using it as well, she is even scanning the liquid soap and grocery items.
I upgraded the paid version over a year ago, and honestly €20 a year is nothing compared to the value it provides.
Thank you for this app!

I was told about Yuka 4 months ago & I don't know how I've lived without it. I threw out my shampoo, bath products. body lotion etc. etc. I'm horrified to find out how much rubbish I was putting on my face & body, products that in some cases were for sensitive skin & just making it worse. I hope that companies that add bad additives will find that their sales plummet as more people discover this wonderful app. I won't buy any food unless I've scanned it first. Often the reason that food has a bad rating will be too much salt, sugar, saturated fats. I think it's important to join because if you use if for free you're not supporting Yuka, I'm informed if food contains palm oil & is vegetarian which means that I don't have to constantly search the ingredients. You can ask to be informed if something contains gluten, lactose, soy. I noticed people complaining that if they order online they are unable to scan the barcode, if you join you can search the product. can't recommend this app highly enough.

I signed up for a one-year subscription to the upgraded services and then was unable to sign in to my account. Basically, the app states that it will send me a link to change my password and then I never get an email with a link. I have tried contacting them dozens of time via their website and using my phone but no response. They stole my money and have discarded me.

I am so grateful my workout partner told me about this app...I paid extra in order to scan bar codes at the grocery store. truly a great tool. many old time favorites went back on the shelf... new, better choices made...!

Great app! Well done :))

Downloaded the free Yuka app and suddenly i had a £40.56 charge from 24Hstation. So much for the app being free. Dont trust this app

Pretty good, the only problem I have is sometimes the alternative products are..... it's hard to explain but here's an example. Spegetti and sausage hoops ▻ wholewheat spaghetti. Like....

It’s not reliable at all. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve wasted money on products that scored excellent on the app but when I got them and scanned the barcode it’s scored low. There’s products (which are the exact same) that score poor, good and excellent all for the same product. It’s very misleading, especially when this app was done so people use less bad chemicals to take better care of their health only to keep getting incorrect scoring when their products arrive. I’ve emailed them multiple times to show them this keeps happening, but clearly they haven’t bothered to find a solution and it’s only getting worse.

Watch out! I downloaded the app and my phone got hacked and transactions I didn't recognise began coming out of my account from a gaming website called playgamesforever.com. Deleted the app but the bank cannot refund me money

I have been using Yuka since many years, first in Europe (I am European) and then in the US. I do not go shopping to any of the large supermarkets without my phone, scanning every product that goes into my cart. Same for my wife, and now my son, daughter and their family. It is sensational, an essential tool to help improve the health of consumers. Ah, and by the way, not only food...cosmetics as well !

Was enjoying the app. Is a great idea. But was sad to see they rate toothpastes with fluoride in highly?!?!?!

I feel Yuka has helped me make healthier choices and supported me to identify where some foods i'm eating aren't as good as i first thought. Its fast and effective and just helps me make a few more healthy choices and saves me time as i work and care for a family member. Its definitely improved my shopping and eating choices.

Very misleading on the risk scale. Some items are good..with ingredients that are natural that may be allergens. While others show a long list of ingredients you can't even pronounce, showing as excellent.
I read a post on the world cancer fund blog page, saying exactly the same..they wouldn't recommend the app..

Typed in a product and the same product has 3 different ratings. How am I meant to trust the information when it is so contradicting.

I really wanted to like Yuka, but after using it for a while, I’m honestly disappointed. Compared to newer apps like Lovi, Yuka feels outdated and extremely limited. One of the biggest drawbacks is that it only works with barcodes. In today’s digital age, that’s just not enough. I do most of my skincare shopping online, and not being able to scan product screenshots is a major inconvenience. Meanwhile, Lovi lets me analyze ingredients directly from online store images — no barcode needed. Why hasn’t Yuka caught up?

Another issue is how simplistic Yuka’s scoring system is. It gives a score, sure, but there’s very little context or nuance. No review summaries, no price comparisons, no personalized feedback — just a number. That’s not helpful when trying to understand what actually works for your skin.

And don’t get me started on the interface — it feels clunky and hasn’t evolved in years. There’s no face scan, no skin tracking, nothing that helps me actually see if a product is working over time. It's like they stopped innovating altogether.

If you're serious about skincare, skip Yuka and try something more modern. There are much better options out there.

Fantastic app that I use daily. Good clear ratings for products and foods that help me with my daily choices. Great 😊 and would recommend.
