I just stumbled upon this app (though never tried it). It says "The Buy European app" is particularly useful when you're shopping in supermarkets or retail stores.
Does anyone know this?

F-droid comes to rescue 😎
The app is not Free / Open Source 😕

Wouldn't any reasonable person prefer the web app version anyways? Web apps are much better for privacy and security, since they run everything in a very sandboxed way.

I used it at the start in the supermarket. Now I kind of know the brands and where they are from so have not used it since 6 months.
But I found it quite useful back then.

It's quite nice for the things which it has in its database. But I found adding new things in the database bit annoying because of the requirements of info that I usually don't know and and am too lazy to search for. Also, to big extent not usable for me because it works only online but I usually don't have internet access at shops.
