Such large variation within product categories shows how much difference consumers can make through their choices.
Or put another way, shows the difference producers can make. If XYZ corp can make a 5 star pumpkin soup, so can all the other corps, they just choose not to.
I like this. It reminds me of a similar app I used to use a long time ago called BuyCott. But their app needs a bit more work first. When I tried to scan a pack of frozen veggies the app ceashed, and when I try to submit products their app doesn't know about to them, it just keeps saying error submitting photos and clears all the photos and descriptions I gave them. Plus their android app uses their own camera implementation, which because of differences in camera architecture, always results in much worse photos. I'd prefer they opened my actual camera and let me take a photo through that, because then things would be readable

I think that's just a problem with Android in general. Very few applications are able to access the native camera. Historically support has been so limited that when Samsung released its most recent range of smartphones, it actually advertised native camera support for Instagram and Snapchat as a major selling point. The recent CameraX API is supposed to help with this but there is a huge range of Android phones and not all of them support it, which makes it challenging for developers to implement.

I'm not sure this is entirely correct. I've used many apps which will open up the camera and allow 1 photo to be taken which then displays with a check mark to import it into the application. The photo is then deleted (I'm pretty sure).

Are they actually accessing the camera module and using that to take the photo? Or are they taking a screenshot of the viewfinder? Historically, the latter has happened on basically every third party Android app.
I'm fairly sure it's the former and not the latter, but I may be wrong. It seems to be a different interface to the usual camera app and usually takes similar quality photos to the regular camera (before post processing anyway)
