### 5/5 — Great for navigating a CKD diet

*2026-06-19*

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.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the great review. We appreciate the feedback and will continue to work to make KidneyDiet better.

### 1/5 — Not helpful

*2026-06-14, version Version 3.2.11*

It won’t let me in past user name and password even after I verified my email address.

### 3/5 — Not compatible with Passwords

*2026-05-19, version Version 3.2.11*

iOS 26.5, iPhone 17. Cannot create account using iPhone passwords. Must be a manual entry

### 5/5 — Game changer❤️❤️❤️

*2025-10-04*

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.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the great review!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-09-19, version 3.2.7*

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!!!

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2025-08-18, version 3.2.7*

Do not know if this is in the works but I thought I would bring it up.  It would be extremely helpful if on creating new foods if you would include in the nurturant fill in list carbs and cholesterol.  A lot of people who have restricted Kidney    Diets are also diabetic.  
 
Thank you

### 5/5 — Recent CKD 3 diagnosis

*2025-05-27, version 3.2.7*

Recent diagnosis and this app is well worth The yearly cost as it seems to be the best to help me stay within my limits for the three “Ps” if changing my diet will help me slow the CKD I am happy to have this app.

### 5/5 — Live successfully

*2025-05-26, version 3.2.7*

What could be a scary and overwhelming diet has become progressively easier thanks to this wonderful app! Thanks and hats off!

### 4/5 — Informative

*2025-05-18, version 3.2.7*

I tried 2 week trial. I like the fact that it also gives phosphorus values, which are usually overlooked by common 
Diet apps.

### 4/5 — Great app, outstanding support

*2025-05-13, version 3.2.7*

Wish they would offer a rate discount on multi year subscriptions
