Use this app to increase potassium intake to lower high blood pressure; to restrict potassium intake as advised by your healthcare provider to lower the risk of high blood potassium if you have chronic kidney disease (CKD); to ensure a healthy intake to protect from nerve-related problems such as tingling, numbness, muscle weakness, cramps & spasms, brain fog, irritability. Set your target daily potassium intake based on guidance provided in the app or as advised by your healthcare provider; and your preferences for weights of food (g or oz). Record food and beverage consumption using the barcode scanner (please note that only manufacturers in the US are required to include potassium content in the nutrition label read by the scanner), dictation, search or by favoriting foods and using the serving sizes provided (which can be changed at any time). Tap the notepad to add notes. Compare the potassium content of different foods by tapping the Compare button on the "Foods" screen. Monitor daily and long-term progress, export data to share with healthcare providers, synchronize data with other First Line Medical Communications Ltd nutrient counter apps, and share data with Apple's HealthKit. Add your own foods and recipes and change serving sizes to personalize the app's 400-item database for you. All food and beverage popups indicate whether the item is a plant, good prebiotic, probiotic or ultra-processed food (UPF) to inform a healthy diet and also whether they are high or low FODMAP per serving where data are available to support people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Useful lists show potassium content of foods per 1oz or 100g and serving, which can be toggled from high to low & low to high. Also useful UPF, unprocessed plant, prebiotic, probiotic, high & low FODMAP food lists. ## Key features - Log potassium intake - Track daily and long-term progress - Set personalized daily targets - Barcode scanner for food logging - Add custom foods and recipes - Nutritional insights for healthy eating - Export data for healthcare providers ## Chart rankings - #70 in Top Paid · Health & Fitness (US App Store) ## Recent user reviews (10 of 26) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/potassium-counter-and-tracker/id903091325/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Super useful *2026-08-07* Once you get the hang of it, easy to use. Favorites, swiping between days in the log, editing and adding foods. Thank you. **Developer response:** Many thanks for taking the time to write this review. Glad you find the app super useful. We have added further improvements in version 3.0.5, which is going to the AppStore today for approval. ### 4/5 — Generally good *2026-06-23* This app is pretty helpful in helping me log my daily K, but the available foods a rather limited. Also, I don’t know if it’s just the dark mode, but it is almost impossible to read anything with blue font. Will still continue to use the app however! **Developer response:** Thanks for this review. We will be releasing a major upgrade with new easier-to-uses interface and on-screen help files in the next week or so and this also ensures all type can be easily read in dark mode. ### 1/5 — You have to add to much *2025-09-12* List of foods is limited and confusing to add new food. **Developer response:** The app must know how much your different servings of food (eg slice, cup, portion) weigh to calculate your daily potassium intake in mg. So you need to provide the app with that information when requested. You will then be able to add and then see potassium content per serving (eg slice, cup, portion) rather than per ounce or 100g of your food. The app is consistent and the same process will apply to all foods the first time you add them to the app. Alternatively you can use the app's 400-item database and serving sizes provided, which is very straightforward. ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-08-23* This app is an excellent tool in monitoring potassium intake. It is easy to use and scanning the barcode is quick and accurate- even giving you the brand name of the product. I’m new to using but has already proven itself. Highly recommended! **Developer response:** Many thanks for this review. Great to hear the barcode reader is proving easy, quick, and accurate. ### 4/5 — Helpful *2023-12-26* This app is helpful keeping track of potassium intake however it would be nice if there is a place to add notes to help keep track of symptoms **Developer response:** Many thanks for your feedback and we're very pleased you find the app helpful. We like your request for a symptom tracker within the app and will investigate the best way to do this. It will be included in a free update soon. ### 3/5 — Bar code scanner *2023-11-28* No access to bar code scanner. Blue window opens up with Potassium info and at the bottom of screen is a dismiss button. On the iPhone 15 the button is more than halfway off the screen so there’s no way to close it. **Developer response:** We redesigned the barcode scanning screen in February 2024 to improve its functionality on all iPhones including mini iPhones. ### 1/5 — Useless application, *2023-06-30* Does not let you input the amount of potassium per serving Waisted money **Developer response:** The app must know how much your different servings of food (eg slice, cup, portion) weigh to calculate your daily potassium intake in mg. So you need to provide the app with that information when requested. You will then be able to add and see potassium content per serving (eg slice, cup, portion) rather than per ounce or 100g of your food. The app is consistent and the same process will apply to all foods the first time you add them to the app. Alternatively you can use the app's 400-item database and serving sizes provided, which is very straightforward. Once you have bought the app all updates are free. ### 4/5 — John *2023-06-24* The app is really useful but would help even more if it could be compatible with a UK scanner. I need to take very large amounts of potassium every day due to a health condition therefore on some products I need to guess the amount of potassium but on the whole this tool is very helpful. **Developer response:** Many thanks John. We're pleased you're finding the tool very helpful. We have added in a barcode scanner, but the United States and Canada are the only countries requiring manufacturers to provide potassium content in the Nutrition label, so the data may not be available elsewhere in the world using the barcode. This is why we also provide a 325+ database of unbranded foods and beverages so that users in countries other than the United States or Canada can find a best fit, and also an "Add food' option to add in your own foods where you know the potassium content. ### 1/5 — Waste of Time *2022-10-12* I’ve just downloaded this App ( and paid for ) As I’ve been informed by the doctor to lower my potassium. The first two items scanned Nescafé Decaf and Skyr yogurt ( basic items in my opinion) a little box comes up saying they know about the product but have no potassium data ? I would of thought finding out the data is the whole point of the app. Very disappointed **Developer response:** We have added in a barcode scanner, but the United States and Canada are the only countries requiring manufacturers to provide potassium content in the Nutrition label, so the data may not be available elsewhere in the world using the barcode. But you can add your own foods to the database. The app must know how much your different servings of food (eg slice, cup, portion) weigh to calculate your daily potassium intake in mg.

Once you have bought the app all updates are free. ### 2/5 — Better than nothing *2022-08-24* Only positive I can say about this app is it’s convenient but it’s not very accurate when I compare with other nutritional source. I understand why they want payment up front. If not, nobody would buy it. I will never pay anything in advance again for apps. **Developer response:** We have added in a barcode scanner, but the United States and Canada are the only countries requiring manufacturers to provide potassium content in the Nutrition label, so the data may not be available elsewhere in the world using the barcode.
