My Food Coach

Living with diabetes, hypertension or Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) doesn't have to mean missing out on the foods you and your family enjoy. Finding foods that taste great and are appropriate for any number of health conditions, especially for those on dialysis, can be a real challenge. And if you are at risk for CKD, you will want to be especially careful in selecting foods that support your dietary well-being and a healthy lifestyle.

Does not worked!!!!!!!

I did everything it ask of me. The last page I got a connection error! A total waist of time. Worst developer that I have come across. The app never register in the app settings.


Unable to monitor Phosphorus
Michael H 944

Why bother using this if it can’t track phosphorus? Not worth your time. Although I read the other 1 stars and it seems to be user error. My app ran into none of those issues.


Glitchy and Not Very Useful
Pastazia

I got this app because I need to track my mom’s potassium intake. I was hoping to look up foods to see how much they contained, but this app barely functions at all. When I tried to look up something as simple as “Mini Wheats” or even just “cereal,” it says item not found. At one point during my search, the app crashed completely. I tried out the restaurant function and the first three locations have been out of business for quite a while. Probably not the apps fault, but a little annoying. I really don’t see any reason to keep this app on my phone. Deleting it.


Missing crucial electrolyte values
AchillesSuckerPunch

The whole reason I downloaded this app was to try and track potassium and phosphorous. However, most foods listed on the app are completely missing these values. It’s a disgrace considering this app was made by the national kidney foundation. It’s a shame that dialysis patients like me have seemingly nowhere to turn to for support or help managing our care, even from the foundation that’s supposed to be dedicated to it. 0/5.


Great app!

AWESOME!!
MacySue

This app is terrific for people with kidney disease! It gathers nutrition facts from packaged foods and from fast food restaurants then let's you know how well it fits in with what you should be eating. This makes my life so much easier.


Perfectly customizable!
Dvap22

I tried this app and I was so impressed! I love the way I could personally choose a profile and nutritional set of guidelines that spoke to me and encompassed all of my dietary needs. Since downloading this app I have been able to make my mom and I multiple diabetic friendly recipes that we both have loved. I look forward to future iterations.


Great app

This is a very useful and easy to use app. It's like having a personal dietitian on your phone. I highly recommend it.
