### 5/5 — Quick and easy

*2022-12-22, version 9.18.1*

This kidney check was quick and easy to use. Seems like it would be relatively simple for just about anyone. Great developer.

### 3/5 — Are you serious?

*2022-08-14, version 9.18.0*

I am  82 years old. If my daughter didn’t do this for me if would have been impossible for me. I have a flip phone and I have never used a smart phone. It is clear what age I am , take this inconsideration when sending out elderly people a do it your self kit. In the event it is not done right , you have set up panic unnecessarily..

### 5/5 — Quick and easy

*2022-07-13, version 9.17.0*

Amazingly quick and so user friendly

### 5/5 — Easy-Peesy

*2022-06-29, version 9.12.0*

This test was simple and easy, but the main thing is that it was so well explained!! The app makes it simple. Video and voice commands were clear and easy to follow. Great idea being able to do this at home. Thanks!!

### 3/5 — Kidney Check

*2022-06-24, version 9.12.0*

Test was very easy to use and complete. I didn’t like all the reminder phone calls I received. People were hard to understand and always came up as unknown caller on the phone.  Identified themselves as being from Medica but would be better if phone number showed the call coming from Medica especially with all the senior fraud.

### 5/5 — KidneyCheck

*2022-06-07, version 9.12.0*

This test kit information was very easy to follow and the results were, in my case fantastic and will be very informative to my doctor in evaluation of my health. Thank you for choosing me to be a part of this health care study..

### 5/5 — Question

*2022-05-25, version 9.12.0*

I wondered if it would change my results at all since I am doing a cleanse routine where I drink a mix of apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, pure unsweetened cranberry juice plus spring water three times a day prior to meals. ? Like to hear what your opinion is as to it & kidney health.

### 5/5 — Test

*2022-05-24, version 9.12.0*

I read the directions and took the test.  I wish that the video said that one should continue following the video because it timed.  After taking the test, I had to watch/wait to see how to get the results. Did not see any color change after the 75 second “wait” period.

### 5/5 — Kidney Test

*2022-05-18, version 9.12.0*

The test directions were easy to follow to complete. I also liked that the information has been forwarded to my primary physician. I would recommend to anybody.
Thank you for offering!

### 5/5 — Directions

*2022-05-14, version 9.12.0*

Directions showing each step were great.
