Extremely confusing to use After using it for 3 weeks or so I FINALLY started to understand how to navigate it Drawbacks their very long list of food items about 40 varieties of milk to select from does not include an absolutely astounding number of pretty basic food items their search function is pretty useless and though I finally figured out how to add stuff manually as anyone who is trying to track phosphorus knows its nearly impossible to track down phosphorus content for foods and potassium is almost as difficult so its not as useful as it should be Also the custom foods that you enter do not get alphabetized they seem to be in some completely random order alphabetized in little groups which make no sense whatsoever so you have to search to actually find anything Furthermore if you update the info for a custom food after you initially set it up and entered it on a diary day the total summary for that day will not update to reflect the updated nutrition unless you go back to that day delete the food with the incomplete info then add it back in wthe updated info Ridiculously cumbersome Essentially if you dont mind spending as much time trying to accurately track your food as you do actually preparing and eating it this app will eventually provide you some useful information I suspect theres a better one to be found but having now invested countless hours of my life entering many of the foods I regularly eat its gotten slightly less cumbersome and Im loathe to abandon the time Ive put into it thus far        insanely cumbersome

This would be great tool if it was easy as the Lose It app In the Lose It app you have a larger data base of foods from groceries stores restaurants and you can make your own food receipts download the app and see its functions you can scan foods bar codes and get the info into the app The app locates nearest restaurants See your usage and goals It would be nice if you can input your dialysis lab info in the app straight from the DaVita health portal And also link up to the Apple Health app Make a deal with lose it and design a Renal dietary app and have a weight loss portion in the renal app for those that need to lose weight to get on the transplant list Ill pay money for that I am right now using the Lose it app to lose weight Wouldnt it be nice to also track my water and potassium and phosphorus        Not as easy to use as the Lose it app

Very user friendly It is easy to get overwhelmed with so many variables to consider at every meal This app makes tracking intake quick and easy Wish every kidney patient had access Awesome                 ARNP

It worked for a few days now it crashes all the time It will start up then crash Fix this please        Great app that crashes

Search function for individual foods does not find a specific food unless you are already within that category Example If you are looking for Cherry Tomatoes from basic foods screen it will ask you if you want to add that food but if you search within the vegetable category it will find tomatoes It would be very helpful if this was improved           Somewhat Useful But

I found the app just a few days after was available in the apple store I was very happy because it was exactly what I needed keep track of my food intake and amount of sodium potassium and phosphorus The app worked well for a while but now I am finding bugs that makes it unreliable to my needs When I add an food item it duplicates and if you try to erase it erases everything Hope the bug gets fixed soon it is very helpful           Big hopes bugs makes unreliable

I really like this App I have to track my husbands potassium carbs sodium levels and so far it has worked fine I am disappointed that there arent more food options such as more restaurants etc Also would love to be able to scan items Please Please add the ability to scan items I spend a lot of time having to enter custom foods              Coolgm

This is a wonderful app to track a kidney friendly diet There are many foods listed in the index but you also have the ability to enter custom foods for future use Your daily intake is available at a glance ONE DRAW BACKi have requested the daily trend report several times It is sent to my email but it is blank both on my iphone and desktop Disappointing but the advantages offset this one flaw              Great App

The app was working really well for me initially but the bugs are driving me crazy It duplicates food and randomly deleted all the good I entered for the day and any day previously Very frustrating     Disappointed

I use this for my Renal Diet so I can monitor my K and Phosphorus Would like to like it to iPhone health dashboard              High potential

My husband is on dialysis Until now its taken me a lot of time to look up nutrition info planning meals my for the week Now I use the app to plan our meals and make my grocery list What a timesaver The food list is a little hard to get used to but Ive learned to save meals we eat frequently and that makes it easier                 Great app for a person on dialysis

Seems to be very similar to the pocket dietitian app which has been available for over 2 years and has a much easier and less buggy interface     Bugs

Calculates phosphorus levels in foods that might not have it in labeling Great food database but would be better with scanning feature so custom foods can be added with bar codes                 Excellent food tracker

A somewhat useful guide with essential dietary information for kidney patients So this could be a great app Unfortunately it is very far from being user friendly Food listings are ridiculously complicated search function is very slow and the app crashes constantly Useful for reference but far too frustrating to use as a planner        Has Potential

I love the fact that it does help with keeping track of everything my mothers dietician ask of us but the fact that is so hard to input the meals is a killer I wish there was a section for breakfast lunch snack and dinner Would be super nice if I could just scan barcodes and it grabs the info for me I know its possible I have had apps in the past that did so They were just not kidney friendly apps Wish this app wasnt so hard to I put or it would be 5 stars        Its an ok app

This would be a great app if it was user friendly Find it very hard to navigate especially when logging meals Dont think it needs to be this confusing Hopefully it becomes easier with use as it could be a great way to track amounts especially of potassium and phosphorus        Great idea but

This app shuts down every time I try to add a custom food or add food to the meal plan It doesnt have a large selection of name brand stored foods     Shuts down at every turn

I would love to use this app to help with the stress of my renal diet but the app shuts down right after the opening screen Really disappointing     Will not launch

Not many apps track potassium and Ive been able to manage and adopt well with this app              Good app

Seems like it would be a great app but Ive never been able to log in Wont recognize my email address as valid        Log in issues
