Great for navigating a CKD diet

I just started using this app and am so glad I found it. It has been so good at helping me plan/shop for foods that fit within the CKD guidelines. Food tracking is pretty easy too.
My only wish is that the Search feature was a little improved. Sometimes I’ve searched and gotten no results but when I enter the key words in another order, I get results. Not a deal killer just a wishlist item.

Game changer❤️❤️❤️

This app is a game changer for eating with CKD. I had no idea there was so much potassium everyday foods. I also had no idea how much protein I was consuming. With the Kidney Diet app I am able to stay within the guidelines and my health and well-being is improving. Take the two week trial and if you like me, you will pay for a whole year within about 10 days because this is a must have a app.

Great app!

I have struggled for almost a year trying to understand/figure out a kidney diet for stage 3. This app is an answer to a prayer. I LOVE it!!!
