The Zeer Blog

We are very proud to present our first ever iPhone app, Food Reviews on Zeer. Now all the great information on Zeer is available while you’re on the go — nutrition facts, warnings, and our stellar user reviews, plus a searchable database for 100,000 + grocery products.

Take a tour of the exciting features our app now!

From our press release:

“The Food Reviews iPhone App gives consumers access to the Zeer database of grocery products across 35 categories, ranging from bread and breakfast foods to pizza and beer. Consumers can easily search important information, including nutrition facts in the standard FDA format, consumer reviews, ingredients, and manufacturer warning labels.

The first-of-its kind application also allows consumers to filter searches by average rating to help discover high quality foods while on the go. Consumers can easily keep track of their favorite foods and sync their favorite products automatically with Zeer.com. Shoppers preferring Organic or Kosher foods can easily filter their searches to see only these products. High quality images are also featured for each product, enabling easy identification while in the supermarket aisle and improving the overall shopping experience.”

We also created a fun 1 minute demo on YouTube featuring our very own CEO, Mike Putnam, showing you some our favorite features of our application. Enjoy!

1.) Liberty Orchards Aplets & Cotlets Ever since Edmund in The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe became addicted to Turkish Delights, people have wondered, “Well, what on earth does a Turkish Delight taste like?” For curious eaters, Gen H. might be able to shed some light with her recent review of Liberty Orchard’s Aplets & Cotlets which she professes is “a very delicious, authentic, American-made Turkish Delight” that has a “sweet, fruity flavor, and a smooth consistency, with a slight crunch of walnuts.”

2.) Nestle’s Lion Bar Looking for a Nestle bar with a little more bite than the standard Nestle’s crunch? Nestle’s Lion Bar is a “crispy, chewy and sweet” caramel filled wafer that has Thaniya A. positively growling.

3.) Cadbury Mini Eggs The Cadbury company has long had our attention with its delicious dairy milk chocolates, but Cadbury Mini Eggs are a Zeer favorite that Sarah R. claims is “solid proof of such superiority” to Hershey’s. However, you might need to act fast. These addictive little eggs only make their appearance once a year around the Easter holiday, a fact that is fortunate indeed for those of us who just can’t say no.

4.) Ritter Sport Dark Chocolate with Marzipan If your quest for a good Marzipan bar has left you hungry, Ben L. has determined that Ritter Sport Dark Chocolate with Marzipan is one of the “best marzipan bars.” What makes this bar distinctive among the rest? For Ben L. it may just be that distinctive hazelnut flavor which “shines through an excellent dark chocolate covering.”

5.) Yummy Earth Variety Candy Drops For the allergy mom, it’s tough to find a candy available at a local supermarket that are safe for your children, but it’s even tougher to find a candy that’s also USDA organic and tastes great, too. Fortunately, Jennifer B. found Yummy Earth Variety Candy Drops a “rare safe (for peanut allergy) candy treat” for those of you who have people in your life who need to eat “nut-free, peanut-free, corn-free, dairy-free, wheat-free and more.”
