### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2023-11-21*

Gave me a GIR of -1.2

**Developer response:** This error occurred because you selected the wrong option for total fluids in Settings. Change your selection and this erroneous value will be corrected.

### 5/5 — Great Tool

*2019-02-21*

This is a great tool for making fast nutrition calculations in the NICU! As a Registered Dietitian, it has saved me a lot of time and accuracy. Easy to use and conveniently packaged (smart phone). Most infant formulas available as well as capability to add customized formulas. Great interface between TPN and formulas. Support readily available. Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Great app

Really like the app works well and is very useful during rounds. It would be nice if you could select a product and add a fortifier separately to make it easier to add custom formula or analyzed BM

This is an excellent tool to keep track of all aspects of nutitional support in premies in the NICU. It is a handy tool to do quick calcs during rounds.

Very convenient app for calculating day-today needs of a micropremie with almost all options of formulas including types of breast milk, speciality formula and TPN. It calculates micronutrient sufficiency as well. You can even customize it to your babies mix of formula contents. Great app for dietian in NICU as well for any provider keen on making babies grow
