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.

Not helpful

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

Not compatible with Passwords

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

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!!!

Almost perfect

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

Recent CKD 3 diagnosis

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.

Live successfully

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

Informative

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

Great app, outstanding support

Wish they would offer a rate discount on multi year subscriptions

Create an account

I wanted to try the app to see if it had the features I needed.
Took the time to create an account.
Pointless since I didn’t know if it was what needed.

Developers should consider allowing users a trial before asking to create an account.

I entered oatmeal regular cooking.
It would let me customize the serving size it only provided 1 cup serving. I only had 1/4 cup. Not worth the effort in creating an account.

No help

None of my simple regular foods show up n it wants me to manually put everything in there if i need to do that then Y do i need the app? Phos isn’t always in that name n i know peanut butter has that but on the label it doesn’t it! USELESS if you ask me

Good kidney diet tracker

KidneyDiet allows me to track nutrients that could affect my kidneys. I especially like breakdown it provides for plant based and animal based protein content of my diet.

Ed Nuber

Makes it so easy to track my diet and stay on my KidneyDiet. Thank you.

What happened??

This used to be a really great app for tracking my ckd nutrition. But a recent update has it very unstable. Many items come up with no portion size, you cannot add the portion size, and if you try to entdr that item into your diary, it crashes! What gives? Please fix this.

Doesn’t work

The bar code scanner isn’t working - says can’t scan QR code, even though it’s labeled as a bar code scanner and when you do add a food the app crashes if you click the “see all nutrition” or “add to diary” buttons.

Needs improvement

Food data base very limited compared to other app which makes scanner limited

Cumbersome can’t see all daily nutrition unless email diary would be nice to see all days

Notice when you do scan a label sometimes information inaccurate compared to label

Serving and selection needs whole revamp does not my sense to 1 arugula leaf should be more break down choices for an item too much converting
