Slow, Buggy, and Unreliable
So far this app has 'lost' or corrupted all of my data twice. There won't be a third time.
It's slow. Most of the time it takes 15-30 seconds to save a single reading from my blood glucose meter.
It's poorly designed. First I should explain that I have been a database developer for most of my career, with most of that in the medical field. This app synchronizes to a users local database one row at a time, requiring the user to explicitly save each row. This is a very poor design choice. Committing changes to the database should be automatic and much faster. Perhaps when the app is closed? This is easily done by creating an xml or transaction log that gets forwarded to the database upon exiting the app. There are dozens of ways it can be done. Kaiser chose to use the slowest.

Works most of the time
Works well most of the time but the app keeps giving an error with the login sometimes so I will have to delete the app and re-download, then sync my device again. Blood sugar monitor also logs the Control Solution readings which is wrong.
Great app
It’s easy to use. Just open the app turn on the sugar reader and it sync all by itself. Doctor gets the reading right away.
Love the app
Overall I have to say I love this app. I really like that I can upload them to my phone without afternoon to enter it in it links through Bluetooth. It would be nice if it gave us an estimated hemoglobin A1c based on our readings.

This app works great for the “novice “ diabetic. Having my readings go directly to my doctor is a bonus. I would like to be able to set my diabetic range. This would keep me from freaking out when the meter indicates my reading is “in the red”, out of range.
Verio flex onetouch
Usually, the app works pretty well, but sometimes it doesn’t sync with my meter and I end up not getting my reading recorded. I also wish there was a way to enter the number manually when this happens. Poking your finger to draw blood is just not fun to begin with and when it ends up being a waist, it’s frustrating.

decent but want more tags
A decent app but wish it had user defined tags. Needs before during and after exercise etc. otherwise works fine.
Great app but won’t update consistently
It’s a good app to keep track of sugars but the readings won’t sync and once in a while it will. I go through all the steps it says but it gives an error
Keeps losing ability to sync
When it syncs, it’s useful. But it keeps losing the ability to sync and I have to delete it and reload it to re-pair it. It takes forever and is really annoying.
Also, while they’re fixing that, they should give to the ability to pair with more than one device. So I can have a device at work and one at home.

Needs estimator for A1C
Would be great to have a way to estimate A1C. Otherwise app works ok. Sometimes it fails to sync with my meter. Looking forward to improvement updates
