We currently have native apps for Android, iOS and Ubuntu Touch.

We also have an HTML-based app for other mobile OSes based on Cordova and PhoneGap. We'd very much like have native apps for speed and access to more advanced features.

If you're an Blackberry or Windows Phone developer, we would very much welcome you :-)

Native Apps

Android

The application is already on the Google Play store and you can download it here.

You can also contribute to its development on GitHub: https://github.com/openfoodfacts/OpenFoodFacts-androidApp

iOS

The application is already on the Apple App store.

You can also contribute to its development on GitHub: https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-ios

Ubuntu Mobile

For now its an alpha version.

You can compile it directly from the main repo on GitHub: https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-ubuntu

Mobile Web version

See http://en.wiki.openfoodfacts.org/Project:Mobile_version

Phonegap - Android, iOS, Windows Phone

The application is mainly dedicated to the collection of products: bar code scanning , sending photos, input basic information.

The application is developed in HTML and JavaScript and is based on the PhoneGap platform (also known as Cordova). It is packaged for Android and iOS with the Moodstock scanner. On other platforms (Windows Phone…) it needs the BarcodeScanner PhoneGap plugin instead.

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)
