We currently have HTML-based apps for iOS and Android, using a wrapper. We'd very much like have native apps for speed and access to more advanced features. If you're an iOS, Android, Blackberry or Windows Phone developper, we'd very much welcome you :-)

Mobile applications for Open Food Facts.

Mobile version

See http://fr.wiki.openfoodfacts.org/Projet:Version_mobile

Android and iOS ( PhoneGap )

Application mainly dedicated to the collection of products: barcode scanning , sending photos, input basic informations.

The application is developed in HTML and JavaScript and is based on the PhoneGap platform (also known as Cordova) to be packaged for Android and iOS .

Phonegap can be used on other platforms ( Windows Phone,etc…) But the app also need BarcodeScanner PhoneGap plugin.

Links:

Moving from a wrapped HTML app to Native Apps

A native application would allow a more fluid use ( PhoneGap app is actually running in a webview , a kind of Web browser, and is suddenly relatively slow and sometimes unstable ) .

Applications dedicated to uses other than the collection

Large public Application : information consultation

Display nutritional traffic lights etc. .

Large public Application : augmented reality

  • Information display overlay product .
  • Ongoing trial with Moodstocks . First tests rather conclusive: the products are easily recognized when the camera passes over ( without scanning and without taking a picture ) .

Application for people who have difficulty reading


Other Apps?

  • Calculation of calories and other nutrients
  • An offline version ( avoiding making an internet connection for lookups)
