Need updates on this app!

This app seriously needs updates with new foods added, especially brand names that you find at the grocery store. It needs improvement in all categories.

Prior update

I sent message that I was very unhappy with the update last week. When I clicked update for espresso I only had the choice to choose 12 oz.
Kidney Diet issued a new update and the app is back working normally.
Thank you Kidney Diet!

Bad update

I have used this app happily and successfully since I was diagnosed in 2021, but the most recent update has fouled up so many of the entries! Foods that were listed by serving size now indicate the entire contents of the package, and when you try to put in a decimal fraction of the whole, the app crashes! Help!!!

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.
