## What is AccuGo for PKU?

AccuGo was designed to ease the day to day management of the PKU diet by providing a quick and easy way to track foods eaten. After my son was born and diagnosed with Classical PKU, I wanted to improve our speed and accuracy with calculating the daily food intake.  Now used by thousands around the world.

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a genetic disorder in which the body can't process part of a protein called phenylalanine (phe). 

This app is part of our journey with PKU, come join the journey with us!

### 5/5 — Life line for PKU

*2024-11-23, version 2.8.4*

This app was nothing short of life-changing for our family. The database is quite extensive now as we add our own foods and our own PHE. We appreciate that there is ability to add more than one patient to the app.  The ability to send data to our Dieticians via email is incredibly helpful.  I would highly recommend this app to anyone trying to calculate phenylalanine and store data quickly.  Keep in mind the within this app is also accessible when you are off-line.  Amazing.

### 1/5 — Email food records not working

*2019-05-04, version 2.3.14*

Please fix ASAP!

### 5/5 — Lifesaver

*2015-06-04, version 2.3.4*

I am a working mom with a very busy schedule and this app has made my life so much easier!

### 5/5 — Great App! Use it Every Day!

*2014-08-20, version 2.2.7*

I would highly recommend this AccuGo app to anyone with PKU or other dietary needs.  My wife and I have been using it daily since April 2014, and find it very helpful to help manage and keep track of our son’s PKU diet.  We both purchased the app for our iPhones and use her email account for the login so that we can sync the data between our phones.  It is so helpful to have this tool with us at all times to keep his diet records and to look up food items and their PHE and calorie content.   It also has great export features for emailing the data and history so that we can have a record to share with his dietician.

### 4/5 — Love this app!

*2014-08-13, version 2.2.6*

Best app by far that I have found to keep track of my PKU diet! Some of the entering takes several steps which is why I gave it 4 stars and not 5, but over all I would recommend it to anyone tying to keep track of a low protein diet!

### 4/5 — Decent, but...

*2014-06-19, version 2.2.4*

This app is extremely helpful. It's comprehensive and simple, and is almost everything you could ever want in an app like this. My one complaint is that the database is seriously lacking. Basic foods - pasta, salad dressing, coffee creamer, bread, the list goes on - all are not included and must be entered manually. Other than that, the app is an extremely useful tool and is definitely worth the 99¢.

### 5/5 — Accugo

*2014-01-10, version 2.2.2*

God bless you Jeremy Cross! We love this app. My husband and I are finally on the same page because the app is synced with our phones and iPads. We love the way we can add custom foods we use and track the calories too. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

### 1/5 — Waste of a Dollar

*2013-12-27, version 2.2.2*

This app is just a generic logging utility. Nothing about it is tailored to PKU needs, and the fact that the user has to enter every single phe value with no base list set up is just terrible. This person should not have charged a dollar for this application.

### 5/5 — Intuitive, useful design

*2013-11-18, version 2.2.2*

This is the first PKU app that we have had success with. We use it to track (obviously) but it's also a quick easy reference for on the go. It's really easy to add custom foods, such as homemade foods and unique mixes. One of the best qualities is the ability to record foods by different units (e.g. Grams, ounces, units, pkgs. etc.). Also lets you automatically transfer logs between devices.  Makes life super easy. Thanks developers.

### 5/5 — A must have

*2013-03-24, version 2.1.1*

This app is wonderful. Has a decent starting list of foods and a place you can add your own. Syncs to all devices on an account so my wife and I can add food consumption on separate iPhones and it will combine seamlessly. I'm so happy I found it, and will be telling our physician about it Monday morning. If you or your child has PKU, a must get.
