The most popular digital guide to ethical shopping in Australia, Shop Ethical! has been completely redesigned to provide consumers with the easiest way to make informed purchasing decisions.

Shop Ethical! is available for iPhone and Android.

The Shop Ethical! 2012 app features the most up to date data from the Ethical Consumer Guide including two new categories, Meat and Toys plus many other additions including:

- Additional Important Issues added
- Animal Ingredients information by product type
- Improved company assessment display
- Improved Industry Alert display

The app features a refined new look and a new feature that allows for updated data to be downloaded over the air without requiring an app update.

With over 20,000 downloads of the app and 100,000 copies of the printed guide already in the hands of Australian consumers, the 2012 version is sure to be a hit.

The Shop Ethical! app provides consumers instant access to over 3,800 products with related company information and lets them make an informed and ethical decision whenever they shop.

By shopping ethically consumers can send a strong message for change and help support the practices that make our world a better place to live in.

The Shop Ethical! app uses the latest data from the Ethical Consumer Guide website (ethical.org.au) and is also available as a book, The Guide to Ethical Supermarket Shopping. Company ratings are based on information gathered from over 30 sources including the work of organisations such as Greenpeace, Choose Cruelty Free, WWF, Responsible Shopper and Friends of the Earth.

Shop Ethical! is available for $4.49 from the iTunes App Store and the Android Market Place.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

Best app I have, I use it daily and it's changed the way I see the world.
Emma, VIC

Simply, "Thank you." I am so grateful that you have done all the hard work, so that lazy/tired/child-distracted mothers like me can confidently tell their whining 8 year olds "no, we are not buying that, because the people who will get our money hurt other people and/or animals".
I have always wanted this information but have never had the spare energy to go and find it myself. You have done a brilliant job. Please let me know if you have a panel of testers or proof readers which requires more members, or any other way in which I can contribute to your efforts from home while Miss 8 sleeps. I have been forwarding your "tell a friend" message onto everyone I know who has an iPhone.
Annie, Boronia, VIC

 

AWESOME app!! Thanks guys. I'm a naturopath that tries to educate my patients on the benefits of ethical shopping and living sustainably. Will definately be recommending this app to my patients. Great work!
Elise, VIC

Thank you big time for this app!! It's so easy to use at the supermarket and clarifies so many of the issues surrounding products and companies, making the weekly shop fit better with my conscience. My kids are also able to look and see if their favourite things are positive or negative and can make their own ethical shopping decisions. Brilliant!!!
