### 1/5 — Used to be a good app

*2021-04-10, version 1.2*

It stopped working a while ago with iOS 14. I guess there are no updates anymore.  We used to recommend this to our interns, but will stop recommending until updated.

### 3/5 — Wish they would add more!

*2019-02-27, version 1.2*

It would be great if the app was updated. I’m a dietetic Intern and I would love to see pictures and guidelines to help do physical assessments for malnutrition etc.

### 5/5 — Useful calculators and nutrient references

*2016-07-26, version 1.2*

There aren't a lot of useful RD apps out there, so I was glad to see that the Academy put this one out.  It works well and has some useful things, such as:
-Energy requirement calculators (Mifflin, Harris Benedict, peds calculations, etc)
-Anthropometric tools (BMI, body surface area,height from knee, wt change assessment, etc)
-Conversion calculators (metric to U.S., cooking conversions)
-Nutrient DRIs for micro and macronutrients
-Physical assessment tools (signs of deficiencies, anatomy images) 
-Label reading (health claims, nutrient claims, food allergy labeling info, etc)
-Fluid requirements - estimation methods, calculator, water requirements by age
-Physical activity- hydration guideines for athletes, physical activity guidelines by age group
-Symptom management - very limited, just constipation, diarrhea, low appetite and n/v management.  I hope they'll add more to this section or create an MNT section w/ recs for MNT current guidelines.
Overall, a good app, though somewhat basic so probably best for a newer dietitian but I find the calculations useful even after several years practicing.

### 2/5 — Not something I would use

*2016-04-11, version 1.2*

This application has some built in calculators and references. It is not something I find useful in my practice in the adult clinical world.
