Great for dialysis patients
If you are on dialysis you most definitely should be using this app. The more I use it the better I like it and the more valuable I find it to be. BUY the annual subscription to save your info (or the monthly). Can’t say enough positive about the app.dial kid pat

Thank you for the great review!Promising but more work needed
I have just started a trial run with this app. I think it will be great with a few additional features:
1) change orientation to landscape on iPad when the iPad is turned — all the iPad keyboards I have had require the iPad to be on its long side when connected to the keyboard. Using this app stuck in portrait mode while the keyboard has the iPad in landscape orientation is difficult. Using the app without the keyboard is too much work.
2) include added sugars and calories in the daily nutritional totals bar chart.
3) Allow added sugars to be included in the “custom foods” section.
4) Allow a user to enter “unknown” for items not on the label, such as phosphorus, and flag the daily totals when an item with an “unknown” amount of that item is in the daily diary to remind users that the daily total is suspected to be lower than actual.
Thanks for your consideration.Show lesszyx112358

I'm in love with this app. I hope you add more things to make it easier. I love being able to scan labels it's super helpful. I have found a few that are not correct and thought maybe I picked the wrong size or amount. So I always double-check. Thank you for creating this pretty simple app! One happy Diaylsis patient!Show lessTiny Sweetie

Dear Tiny Sweetie, Thank you for the great review. We are happy KidneyDiet is helpful. If you ever want to cross check items, use the search field to type in items with the same/similar name as that of the label you are scanning. You will get even more information, with more comprehensive nutrients. However, if you do find any information that you'd like us to check on, please send an email to info@kidneydiet.com. We welcome feedback and suggestions, too. Thank you for taking time to write such a positive review. We appreciate hearing from you! Sincerely, The KidneyDiet TeamThe app that works
After using your “kidney diet” app for 2 months now, I had a blood test done and am thrilled to say that my potassium & phosphorus numbers came in to be back into the normal range. Without your app I wouldn’t have been successful to accomplish this. Even my doctor was surprised that I managed to concor the kidney disease in two months.
I just thought to let you know how thrilled I am with your app, especially the chart portion that allows me to test what food I can eat & how it will affect the results, before eating it.Show lessMarnoldi

Marnoldi, Thank you for using KidneyDiet and for taking time to write such a glowing review. We appreciate your feedback. Our customer support team is happy if you are happy!Great app for dialysis
Love this app.
I have a few suggestions:
1: Need to have easy delete for daily items - I added wrong meal and cannot delete.
2: Need ability to add all ingredients so app can pull out phosphorus and potassium amounts - ie: ifIngredients contain milk or pork it will calculate those amounts from that.Show lessSwanny500

Hi Swanny, Thanks for using KidneyDiet. We strive to make it easy to use and helpful. In answer to #1 above, you can easily delete from the diary by following these steps: 1. Select the Diary Tab at the bottom of the screen. You will see a list of you foods for the selected day. 2. Touch the actual item (not the circle or the heart). The selected item will be highlighted and you will see a gray box with nutritional information on the bottom of the screen. 3. In the gray area, you will see the food name of the selected item. Next to it there is a trashcan icon. To delete the item, just select the trashcan icon. Regarding item #2, we are working to simplify this. In the meantime we have a few tips that can help. Please don't hesitate to contact us directly at info@kidneydiet.com and we can set up a support call whereby we can help make this easy. Thanks for using KidneyDiet! Sincerely, The KidneyDiet TeamExcellent resource for CKD PATIENTS!
This app is able to record your diet diary and provide info on the 3 Ps and sodium as well as other nutrients and calories. It allows you to record your foods and serving size for each item and provides very useful data. It’s possible to save a list of “favorites” to help enter foods that are eaten frequently. There is a learning curve, but I contacted the KidneyDiet website and I requested some personal tutorial time which was excellent and extremely useful. I learned that there are some bugs in the app, but the KidneyDiet group is working on correcting the bugs. Really glad I found this app!!!Show lesslottiebgood

SAD…
To keep app there is a month or yearly fee
I had entered a week of data now it’s asking for a fee. I feel I wasted precious time entering my daily food and now I will be deleting the app.
RESOLVED…Thank you 🙏🏼
I have submitted my email address MULTIPLE times to activate AND to reset my password and it never sends me the activation email NOR the password reset email.🥹 Very FRUSTRATING to say the least. Deleted twice 😩Show lessNO Anniversary 😩
Favs
You can add food to faves plus you can add food manually that barcode doesn’t recognize or is not on the list. Also you can go a day ahead and add recipes or common meals write down the nutrients then add as custom food and name it. Then delete from that day. The 2 complaints I have is that when you are looking for a food it gives you all the fattening, complex recipes and unknown brands before the simple stuff if thy even have it at all For example try looking up Heinz’s or hunts ketchup and particularly high fructose free. The other complaint is that you can’t log by meals so it makes it hard to look at your diary and make sure you logged everything I like how it gives you the nutrients even when you change the amount however the amounts are not a big selection I like how you can email your diary so you can easily adjust if you’re over rather than click each thing. I wonder if the calories are under (not correct) but some spot checking is however when I put the whole day in 4 different apps 2 matched and 2 were about 200 cal more on the other hand I’ve been losing weightShow lessDocamela

Hi Docamela, Thank you for using KidneyDiet and for taking time to write a review. Please know the app contains comprehensive research-quality food and nutrient data from reliable sources such as the USDA and other research approved databases. There is a feature to turn off search results that show packaged food items, thereby providing you with the simpler unbranded foods. We are happy to help you with this. Please contact us at info@kidneydiet.com.Best Kidney App
This app is very easy to use. It includes all the items that a kidney dietician suggests that a kidney patient should track. The price is very reasonable for a year. The creators are very open to suggestions for making the app better. This app could also be used by people with hypertension to track sodium or by people trying to lose weight.Show lessGrandma56377
