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.

- 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 for updated data to be downloaded over the air without requiring an app update.
Shop Ethical! 2012 builds on the success of previous editions with over 20,000 downloads already and 100,000 copies of the printed guide in the hands of Australian consumers.
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 a collaboration between the Ethical Consumer Group and Outware Mobile.
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.

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!!!

Lots of gaps Many brands not listed. Also, search function acts a bit strangely. Apart from that, a Gr8 app! I use it all the time!

Outstanding! Really great effort, guys. Has completely changed my shopping list. The only way it could improve, is regarding having to press the tiny 'i' button for more info in list views. The whole block being what you can press is android standard. Please embrace it. :)

Great source of organised Info Only suggestion would be to make the interface more intuitive and consistent. Apps typically let you click on items in lists. This one requires you to click a little symbol. Otherwise it is really good.

Useful. Interesting information but very apple layout. Navigation is irritating for someone used to Android layout style.

Great app Very useful but I do question how long a company needs to be put on the ban list. More sorting options would also be good and the ability to have a companies status bassed on what's important to you.
