Would be even better if we could figure out a way to track the diets of 2 pku kids.

Makes managing a PKU diet a little easier as you don't have to use your brain as much; which is probably a bad thing. Mostly US based, but adaptable

This app is great but the food data base is WAY to small. They should add a sync or person to person feature so users can share and compare nutritional data

There are minor glitches that you can work around, it takes a little time to figure out how to use it, but it makes tracking phe (and nutrient intake!) SO much easier!! The barcode feature hasn't found a food I've scanned...yet. I still recommend it though! If you're not sure, download it anyways, it's free!!

Could be a great app!With lots of nutrition information display, not like the other apps that minimise information to three vitamins and carbs/fat. Not intuitive at all, but great design (looks professional) Also in plus info about all nutrition. Keep installed and waiting for improvements.

Good enough app, a bit unintuitive and no directions or help so you just have to figure it out. Good features- compiles daily nutrition intake including phe, calories, vitamins, fibre etc, and %rdi, option of emailing records to you/your dietician. Also can keep track of phe blood levels and weight. Drawbacks - can't see most brand names for low protein foods in search; when entering values for new foods everything must be entered for a 100g serving which is annoying.

When I first started using this app, I was sure it would not work for me. After serious time and effort I have figured out how to use it. You def need math skills and commitment though. The best part is being able to use the help tab which sends an email to the creator and he is very quick in responding. We emailed several times in one day! I love this app now and could not live without it! .....scan bar did not work for me but I have not asked for help either lol Def recommend this app

I love this, however cos I don't live in the us I have to input virtually everything myself, I'm also lucky I changed formulas because you didn't have my last one. If it could be made compatible with other countries ie even versions for other countries (I.e new Zealand please! ! ) I would be super greatful, but even so this is a really good app despite the labor of putting all my food values in myself

Awesome app, great help for everyday life and keeping the diet. Maybe if some products could be added (esp. Low phe products) that would then make it a 5star app for me.

I love this app! I have PKU and I am trying to lower my levels to have a baby, this app helps me so much! I love that I can scan something and add it to the food. Very good app to have. I also love that it keeps track of your weight and phe level, because I am trying to loose weight too.

Brilliant for somebody who has been diagnosed with pku. Check and update it diet on a go. Some features are not that desirable. like vitamins and minerals big problem to fine units for each product. And scan barecode is absolutly waste of time. Is not possible to find scaned low phe products.

This app is really well made. The database and interface really give you a ton of information to make a diet plan with. Excellent.

Incredible app! Makes management of a PKU diet a lot easier with its consolidated food database with tracking and reporting!
