Once you have the app on your device using it is pretty straight-forward, however, we’ll quickly run you through the setup process and how the interface works. To begin you will need to sign in using either your Facebook account or an email address. When you have done this, select your country/region and you will be dropped on the Good On You home screen.
Here you can manually search for brand names and categories using the search tool or the preset category option, which allows you to select a specific item such as bags, gloves, ties, tops, etc. On the home screen, below the search box, there is also a long list of articles related to fashion and ethics you may find interesting.
If you search a brand directly, ‘Zara’ for example, you will see its overall rating out of 5, plus an individual breakdown of that rating for Labor, Environment, and Animal. Below these ratings is information on how the rating is calculated, as well some background info on the company and its practices.
Choosing categories will allow you to search for items by brand, which is the better way to use the app. With this option brands are listed from best to worst, allowing you to start from the top and work your way down the list until you find something that works for you. There’s also an Offers page which shows some of the current store discounts, along with their rating.
The final thing to cover is the Settings menu, which covers the usual options such as Password Changes, About us, Contact, etc. However, the most interesting feature can be found in the My Preferences section. Here you can use the sliders to adjust your preference for what is most important, Environment, Labor Rights or Animal Protection. By default, everything is set equally. Hopefully, with easy access to this kind of information people will take initiative and buy sustainable, renewable, ethical products wherever possible.
