Pros and cons of Chemical Maze - Shopping Companion app for iPhone and iPad

Chemical Maze - Shopping Companion app good for

Little research has gone into determining health impacts from chemistry used in consumer products. Cause and effect relationships are nearly impossible to prove in court regarding damaged health while much toxicity research is considered a trade secret. We are forced to protect ourselves and this app is a good place to start.
Great to finally get this on my phone - I use it weekly. Thx!
Ive been using Chemical Maze for years to identify chemical additives that may trigger migraines.

Some bad moments

Dont waste money on this one. Vague information. Doest actually tell you which products out there do contain ingredients.
Great idea, wont even open on iPhone :-( Reinstalled 3 times Asking for refund There are other, more recent apps
