AccuGo was designed to ease the day to day management of the PKU diet by providing a quick and easy way to track foods eaten. After my son was born and diagnosed with Classical PKU, I wanted to improve our speed and accuracy with calculating the daily food intake.
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a genetic disorder in which the body cant process part of a protein called phenylalanine (phe).

Latest reviews of AccuGo for PKU app for iPhone and iPad
Very satisfied! Been using it for a while and its very accurate and stable. Keep up the great work!
Great app!! My nephew really needed this.
Ever since finding out my daughter has PKU, Ive struggled to find a convenient and accurate way to keep track of her diet. This app is perfect for us! I love that I can add whatever foods I want and then theyre available for me without having to cart around the low protein food list. It took a little getting used to how to edit each record but once I got the hang of it I realized its so easy! Im so grateful for tools like this that make managing a PKU diet easier. It saves me a ton of math, which sometimes I would even mess up before. And I can email the records right to our dietitian. I cant say how much I love this app!
I have Classic PKU and tho I have the DietWell App there are times I get behind in my logs and this is the perfect App that allows me to catch up and track my diet . Often I eat less than the amount given and this App makes it easier to change the amounts in a hurry . Great work!
This app is wonderful. Has a decent starting list of foods and a place you can add your own. Syncs to all devices on an account so my wife and I can add food consumption on separate iPhones and it will combine seamlessly. Im so happy I found it, and will be telling our physician about it Monday morning. If you or your child has PKU, a must get.
