European consumers are fighting back against the U.S. following Trump’s threats to take control of Greenland, a Danish territory. As a result, two mobile apps that offer a way to determine if products are made in America, then suggest local alternatives, have surged to the top of the Danish App Store in recent days.
The boost in downloads comes as Danish consumers have been organizing a grassroots boycott of American-made products, which also included canceling their U.S. vacations and ditching their subscriptions to U.S.-based streaming services, like Netflix.
Across both iOS and Android, two apps, NonUSA and Made O’Meter, have entered the top 10 this month, according to new data from market intelligence provider Appfigures.
Nice, just got both apps. They both look like they’re vibe coded though :/
Not listed in the article: I like Detrumpez Vous best. It has been around for a while, and yes, it is offered in English as well.

Nice, it’s also just a barcode scanner instead of failure prone image recognition. Its index seems rather small though, first 3 items I scanned were not in the database.
The irony of this being about the apple and Google app stores is palpable.
How else do you want it to reach mass audience? Especially on Apple.
Word of mouth, the posters with the little grab tabs at the bottom, that one old lady who tells everyone around town the gossip including deeply personal information. Honestly, petrescatraian, are you even trying? Smh my head. Then they could download it as a CSV file to use in Libreoffice on their Linux Mint machine in the middle of Costco. /S
You had me at first half lmao
obviously, not via their app stores. the EU really needs to slap them harder, especially apple in this case, for their malicious compliance.
I would love to move away from Google. However, Danish security apps require Google Play for security verification so it isn’t viable to move away from mainstream Android and Google Play - unless it’s to Apple, which is hardly better.
Hopefully this episode gives the Danish government reason enough to get away from American owned tech.
No, your government should be moving away from using an american company for ‘security’ verification.

Not lost on me that our brothers the Danes are being targeted along with us in Canada. Super Nazi throwback. Fuck U S A
The EU could redeem itself and start pumping money into postmarketos or sailfish.
What exactly do you think the EU is?
A largely useless collection of failed colonizers.
Welcome!
