Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

I am a huge fan of Bobby’s app and socials. He has helped my family and I to live and eat more cleanly. I use the app constantly when I’m shopping or looking for information about all kinds of products. The only problem is that the app does not cross reference its own content properly. I’m not sure how that gets fixed, whether it’s a database or AI or what, but there are things that show up twice (or more) - some that are unrelated - and there are things that are in the app that don’t show up in searches. If that could be fixed to make everything more consistent, this would be perfect!

I used the Bobby Approved food scanner every time I shop and is the only app I used when I check a certain product, and I love Bobby Approved app and a believer, but there are products that I checked and are Bobby approved but a certain point or when I checked the products again it turned out to be a NOT Bobby approved product. I am so confused because I buy the products that are Bobby approved and then afterwards I will discover that some products that I thought is Bobby approved is NOT Bobby approved.

It’s impossible to actually use the search bar for anything. I’d love to upload an image to scan the barcode from that, easy fix.
