From Open Food Facts wiki

The applications are currently written in HTML. There are advantages to having native applications :

  • It allows users to do more tasks
  • Applications are more responsive and have a more robust appearance
  • Ability to automatically add the place where the product was scanned
  • Smart autorotation for barcode in android (no need to turn the phone)
  • Can add pictures taken with the phone photoroll
  • Send notifications from time to time to propose to log a product.
  • Create an account on openfoodfacts from your mobile
  • There are areas where the touch make much sense ( eg. rotate images, select the images and image areas to identify logos, packer codes, nutritional information... )
  • Ability to edit section by section
  • Mobile autocompletion
  • Propose a game that asks simple question after simple question to tag existing products
  • Add a timer for cooking based on the barcode and our data
  • Add more fields that are mobile optimized (directly a numeric Keypad for weight, for example)
