Nice App.....
Nice app, but it needs a bar scanner.
Crashing
I have been using this app now for 5 years. I have loved it. However, it crashes out of nowhere every few months. I am forced to delete it, including all of my manually entered favorites, and previous logs. There is no update to fix the crashing. I open the app, and as soon as I try to log something it crashes. I am so fed up with this issue.

Good but not great
We've been using this app for our cpku daughter for 3 months now and it works well except for a few things...
I like how you can add recipes and it calculates total phe except it doesn't have a way to input final weight of a recipe. You have to add so many grams of water to get the final weight up to get an accurate mg/g calculation.
Also, you can't just add an item to a daily log without having to put it in the database. That's very frustrating when you know your child had 10mg of phe from one cookie for example, you have to add all the information of the cookie to the database in order to add it to the log. That's time consuming.

Not worth the money
Every time I try to add a new item it zeros out the totals of that item. And since the items that are on there are almost exclusively specialty foods I have add almost everything from scratch because that's how I make a large majority of my meals. Seriously wanting a refund.
May have to do lots of setting up
The app has everything someone would need to track phe or protein count, as well as, ability to share the information with dietician/etc. However, I'm using it for my pku toddler and have to enter new foods all the time since the only organic brand they have for babies is earths best. They do seem to have all of the gerber products though. The nice thing is entering new items is fairly simple and it's in their for future use.
Previous to this I was logging on an excel sheet but I like the portability this offers and that if I'm not sure about the phe content for a food when we're out I can use the app to look it up quickly.
It also allows you to input your blood level results so you can track them over time which is pretty cool.
I'm giving it a three because I had to input so many new foods but otherwise it would have easily gotten a five since it does everything you'd need it to. I don't usually pay for apps but I feel I got my money's worth.
