Very informative app with good breakdowns and ways to dig into country and product labor practices. Thanks US international labor department! Keep up the good work, and way to go bringing data to the people in a free and easy-to-consume format!

A great app for socially conscious people to use when shopping.

Wish it called out which companies partake in these unethical practices. Other than that, this app is extremely informative and helpful. Glad something like this exists. I also recommend the Buycott app alongside this one.

While this provides excellent information, it falls short of enabling the consumers to boycott the companies that purchase the products. I hope that continued efforts to add additional information will take place.

Love the concept behind the app BUT users need a list of products & companies for consumers. This app has at least started the process to help consumers. Without being able to follow products from start (planting/production) to finish (at market) it's still missing the mark. Not everything listed is a finished product. It can be purchased by another company and used to make a product that consumers then unknowingly purchase. This app would be great for businesses so they don't purchase items to use from these places. But that would mean we're trusting companies to care about a lot more than just their bottom line. Maybe it's just me...but I don't trust companies to do that. Consumers need a way to track the supply chain with company names - both those actively engaged in child labor, as well as companies that purchase from them. I want to know where that blueberry that is a result of child labor ends up! Did I eat it in my frozen blueberry pancakes this morning? Was it frozen and sold as frozen blueberries? Short of avoiding to buy anything that isn't grown or made right in front of you then you run the risk. We need an app that names names so we can guarantee we aren't financially supporting thrm unknowingly. Plus it can serve as a double edged sword. We would know what companies to engage in dialogue to get them to stop supporting child labor by not buying items from the places that engage in it!

Does just what you need it to. All the child labor info you need on your phone
