Potassium Counter & Tracker 12+

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.

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.

I have been using this app for two years and it is very helpful.
Now, when I type in a food to add, a dark bar comes down from the text box and obscures the selection of what I am typing.
Can you fix this please?
Helen

Many thanks Helen. As you are aware there was a bug, which was fixed soon after your review.

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

We have now 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. We constantly improve the app as new technologies evolve and new information becomes available. Once you have bought the app, you get free upgrades, you are not required to register, your data are not collected, additional payments are not required and there is no advertising. We also include App Previews on the App Store to provide guidance on how to use the Settings tab to set your preferred units for weights (g or ounces) and for amounts of nutrient (in terms of weight or % daily target) per serving and per weight unit, and how to record your intake by dictation, search and favoriting. This guidance is also provided in the "How to use the app" instructions included with the app.
