GoodGuide 2.0 for the iPhone Video Review

Awhile back, we looked at GoodGuide. For whatever reason it appears that review as disappeared. It was good timing though as GoodGuide 2.0 is now out. The app is intended to help you make shopping decisions based on the environmental and social impact of the products and their manufacturers. Using a ten-point scale, you get ratings on things like environmental friendliness and social responsibility. While the database of products is nice, it's the the ability to scan barcodes and instantly see the ratings that makes the app fun.

We became obsessed with scanning everything in the house (GoodGuide works best with food and health/beauty products), and were mildly disappointed to see most products had about a six to seven rating. I'm not sure if that's indicative of the products we purchase, or more of a lack of real delineation within the GoodGuide app.

At any rate, it's free.
