VK App
I have used this app for many years. I will always be on blood thinner so this app has helped me tremendously keeping at my INR goal consistently within my range. This means I am not needing to go to INR nurse but every 30 days. This app gives me freedom. Thank you! john
Trash. Do not buy.
Bought the app and tried to search a food. The search was unintuitive and the app didn’t have the food I wanted, which is a common food that a lot of people eat daily. I tried to look through the food list and the app crashed. Waste of $3. Seems like this app is a scam to prey on people who are trying to monitor their Vitamin K intake 🤬

Bad app
It is focused on bad eating habits like fastfood and canned food. It is not easy to fill in everyday on your phone. You have to scroll in stead you can search. Very old fashioned. Exaggerated detailed on vitam k. But it lacks an easy way of composing meals. I stick to my own made excell. It is not worth the money.

Great idea, still needs work
I was looking for something to help me track my Vitamin K intake since getting out of the hospital & now having to be on Coumadin for life due to a repeat of multiple blood clots. I am Heterozygous for FVL & was a vegetarian before all this. Dr’s & nutritionists have been helping to make the change since I can no longer be a full time vegetarian.
This app is a great idea, but I still missing things & I still haven’t figured out how to log my Vitamin K intake with it so I don’t go over 90mcg at the max intake. My Hematologist & Coumadin specialist both have told me to not have so much Vitamin K everyday & when I got to looking for a way to track my intake, came across this app & 1 other. This app had a rating review than the other.
If this app could be a easier to navigate for logging your intake, it would be more widely used and shared. I know of tons of other people on Coumadin who would love to be able to use something like this, but I won’t share the hassle until this is easier to use.

Needs some crucial work. Otherwise good.
This can be a crucial tool for folks new to the drug regime. K is obviously critical but instructions from hospitals are complicated and way too simplistic. This can be great for traveling or eating out to help with choices.
MUST STOP CONFUSION. Coumadin is just one of several brand names for the warfarin sodium generic. It may be the most advertised, so popular, but doctors and hospitals are not tied to that brand. AND the pill shapes, colors and codes are all different. Look up the code on the pill. But they’re all subject to Vitamin K issues.
PUT THE COLOR CODE ON THE APP AS A LEGEND. It’s not obvious and I don’t want to keep looking it up. Make it CLEAR.
WE ALL EAT A COLLECTION OF FAVORITE FOODS GENERALLY and then try other stuff now and then. Would be great if you could click a food that would then populate a Favorites category. More complex app development, yes, but would make usage much easier.

Not sure what good it is
I'm sure this app was designed with the best intentions. Once you figure it out you can look up what you ate and get an idea of how much K is in it. However - it's difficult to use.
What it's good for - looking up something that you have a question about. Not really good for recording daily intake - yet.
Can't wait to see it tweaked.

Great for a Cruise
Great app that works offline. No internet required. Color coding makes it a breeze to understand. Mom takes warfarin & we are going on a cruise. This app is perfect! Thank you!
Worked well
App worked well. A bit slow to respond to food category changes, but nice to have handy on iPhone for someone new to Vit. K restrictions.
Would be nice to show color chart of degrees of Vit. K on each page.
Thanks.

App is broken
Do not buy, the app is locked on the info screen
Love it!
I like that this app adds up and shows your total daily vitamin K intake so that you can compare it to other days in the week have some more clear numbers of when and how much vit-K you took to tell your health care provider at anticoagulation management to assist them with determining your warfarin dose. Pretty large database of foods too. Very useful. :)

Wonderful app. My husband's INR numbers are consistent. Have showed this to others--they are impressed. Thank you!
Very helpful
So far so good. Was going crazy trying to figure what and what not to eat. Now not some much.
essential app!
This app is an absolute essential for anyone with a blood clotting disorder or anyone who takes the drug Warfarin! It is very easy to use and provides a lot of information about Vitamin K levels in almost any food you can think of, including fast foods. A sincere thank you to the developer!
Great New Feature
Now I can keep track of my Vitamin K on a daily basis. This will help especially when I see my doctor because it is so easy to forget otherwise.
The most useful App !
A specially when you're trying to new recipes !! Knowing K- levels might be lifesaving !!!!
Not working at all
Icon opens briefly, but then nothing happens. Have tried the fixes suggested by author and sent queries via his website, all to no avail. Stuck having had the credit card transaction go through and no working app. Shame because after nearly dying from a clot, I thought this would be great to have on hand.

Bad
Got the next update today... App still doesn't work... Don't buy until they fix it!
Do not buy until they de-bug this crashing app
It worked for a day & seemed like a great app until it began crashing. It won't even open anymore. I've sent two notes to developer to no avail. Save your money until reviewers write to tell everyone it's back up & running.
Latest version keeps crashing
Ever since the last update, I can't keep the app running. It's a good app when it works, but needs a big bug fix.
Keeps Crashing. Please Fix!!!!
I am sure this is a great app, but it will not open past the startup screen. Please fix this!!
