"I'm done. Unsubscribing."
"It barely recognises anything. There's no Traditional Chinese, and it can't identify most Asian food. I can't believe I'm paying for this."

"AI identifies sweet potato as regular potato, fried eggs as vegetable salad. Taiwanese barcodes don't scan. Useless until the database improves."
