Fig is designed specifically for people managing multiple food allergies and dietary restrictions. The app allows users to create a detailed profile of their allergens and dietary needs, then scan product barcodes to receive immediate safety alerts. This functionality works both in physical stores and when shopping online - users can even scan barcodes displayed on computer screens. Reviews indicate the database includes less common allergens, which helps people with conditions like anaphylaxis shop with greater confidence. The scanning process typically takes seconds, significantly reducing the time spent reading ingredient labels. Some users note occasional lag after app updates, though this appears temporary. Restaurant menu filtering in the premium version provides additional value for dining out. Customer support receives consistent praise for responsiveness, including handling subscription issues promptly.
