I love the idea of this app. As the mom of a young child with a life threatening peanut allergy, it’s daunting to eat food from outside our home. In its current state, my biggest concern with the app is that if a restaurant has not yet provided an ingredient list, it presents as safe (for example, Cold Stone Creamery currently shows the safe icon and even when I look at something with peanut in the name, it displays the safe icon). I’d recommend defaulting to a caution icon if ingredients aren’t provided.
Additionally, it would be helpful to have information on risk of cross-contamination and the date of the last update (menus change frequently and if the information is from January of 2021 and it’s now end of 2022, there has probably been a menu update or two).
Unfortunately, I just don’t feel that I can trust this app for guidance on safe dining. I still have to do just as much research as I did before using the app.
