Have you ever walked into Trader Joe’s with your grocery list, having no idea what products are good, awful, or amazing, and wasted time deciding which items to buy? Or worse – have you ever spent money on a Trader Joe’s product only to discover that it's terrible? Solution: Trader Raters, an app that lets you rate Trader Joe’s grocery items just as you rate restaurants on Yelp.
You can take photos of products without writing an accompanying review if you just want to show off your camera skills! New items not yet on Trader Raters cannot be reviewed without an accompanying photo.
You can even build a personalized grocery list when you discover new items to try! Products are searchable by category, are alphabetized, and it's basically the most helpful grocery app of all time.
Take a photo of the item using the Trader Raters app.
Select a Trader Joe’s product to review.
The item must say “Trader Joe’s” (or Trader Ming’s, etc), and not be a brand-name item.
Select the category in which the item belongs from 21 different options, including cheese, beverages, prepared meals, and more.
Make sure the item is well-lit and fits within the grid provided.
Rate the item 1 to 5 hearts.
Selecting one category is mandatory, two are optional (e.g. dairy + frozen).
If you don’t like your shot, delete and try again.
In the text box provided, write a review containing the following: What is it? (e.g. Quinoa pesto: is it a spread? A topping? A snack?) What do you like and dislike about it? Include information such as taste, size, cost, shelf-life, whether it’s seasonal, etc.
Please review responsibly.
