What a hop is
HOPPD compares the product in your hand with the others of its kind on the same shelf, per 100 g. When nothing beats it, the answer is BUY.
The best hop: less per 100 g, and clearly healthier.
Shown first whenever the shelf has one.
Clearly healthier, for at most about 20% more per 100 g.
HOPPD always shows what the extra costs you.
At least 10% cheaper per 100 g, and about as healthy.
Laundry is compared per wash and hand wash per 100 mL, on price alone.
The simple version
Point the camera at the pack. For loose items without a barcode, like treats sold by weight, search by name.
BUY, or HOP with up to three better picks. Each shows its price per 100 g, a health score, and why.
When a label’s facts are missing, HOPPD asks for a photo of the pack, reads it within minutes, and scores the product. It never guesses.
Honest by design
HOPPD scores food with the official Health Star Rating, and dog treats with a written rulebook: calories, fat, named meat first, additives. When a label’s facts are missing, it says so and asks for a photo.
HOPPD needs the pack’s analysis to judge this one. A label photo fills it in.
HOPPD uses shelf prices, specials included, and shows how old each one is.
HOPPD is independent of Coles, Woolworths and every other supermarket.
No sign-up and no ads. Your list and your pets stay on your iPhone.

Because it will not guess. If the facts HOPPD needs from a label are missing, it tells you what is missing instead of making up a score.
Many packs’ facts are not published anywhere online. A photo of the back of the pack lets HOPPD read them, usually within minutes, and the product gets its score. You choose when to send one.
No. HOPPD is general shopping help. Check the package and the shelf, and talk to a professional when you need personal health or nutrition advice.
