• Medical test results — Input for Class, kU/L, and percentage (%).
• Highest values widget — Visual widget displaying your highest allergy values for quick identification of your most severe allergen.

Always Avoid Brands

• Manual brand list — Add brands you prefer to avoid. The scanner cross-checks detected products against this list for additional safety warnings.

Reaction Diary

• Reaction tracking — Log what you consumed and the reaction experienced. Designed to help monitor patterns and improve allergy management over time.

Support & scanner

• Rate the App — The “Rate the App” button in Support is now fully functional.
• Scanner integration — Scanner now uses personalized allergy severity data, Always Avoid Brands list, and enhanced contextual safety detection.

Performance & stability

• General UI refinements, performance optimizations, and stability improvements across scanning and profile management.

This update brings a refreshed app identity and improved reliability for your emergency QR codes.

• Updated app name: Allertgy → AllergyReady The previous name “Allertgy” was shared by multiple other apps, and many allergy apps focus mainly on scanning products. We wanted a clearer, more distinctive identity. AllergyReady reflects a different angle: with this app, you’re ready for your allergy, e.g. scanning products, the hospital widget, having your emergency info on your lock screen, or staying prepared for what matters.
• QR codes hosted on new URL Emergency QR codes are now served from a different, more reliable URL. When someone scans your lock screen QR, they'll get your allergy information faster and more consistently. Existing QR codes will continue to work and will redirect to the new setup.

Improved lock screen QR widget for better scan reliability.

• Fixed QR display issues — QR codes no longer appear white or unreadable.
• Optimized QR + text layout — Cleaner spacing.
• Refined online QR payload — More consistent scanning.
• Medication info restored — In compact format (name + dosage).
• Dynamic lock screen text — Displays “Allergy” by default, or “Anaphylaxis” if a life-threatening allergy is selected in your passport.
• iPad layout fixed — Views now render at full width, resolving previous layout issues.
• General stability improvements — For widget updates and rendering.
