Sodium Tracker°

This a really good way to track your sodium intake and it has reminders for breakfast and lunch and dinner.

I LOVE that there is an app just for sodium. I have all the other apps, but I need to keep it simple and just track sodium. I wish that sodium was one of the key metrics in the food tiles as I search. Instead I see calories, protein, carbs and fat- but that is not what I am tracking- so I wish I saw it in the list, since I often use that list to make my choices when I am planning a meal or ordering at a restaurant. I wish that when I tap on the plus button in the bottom right, I didn’t have to tap again to get to search. In fact, since that is what I need to do 90% of the time, I wish I didn’t have to tap at all. If the search bar was on the front page and I just had to tap into it to bring up the keyboard and the dialog, that would be great. I also wish the home screen widget looked a little better. The BG color doesn’t go all of the way to the edge- but that is a small thing, but very visible. Those things would make this a 5star app.

I was diagnosed as having congestive heart failure (The throughput of my heart having fallen in the 20-25% range) at the end of July and went into Hospice care at home. I was advised to dramatically lower my sodium intake if I wanted to survive. This App is allowing me to carefully track the sodium level on everything I eat with access to a large data base and the ability to input information for new foods. As a by-product, I have lost over 20 pounds as accumulated fluid exits. I highly recommend this. App.
