Love it but…

Love everything about the app except it doesn’t let you add sugar level passed the time window… sometimes I check it on time, but forget to add it within the time frame…

Exactly what I needed

This app is so perfectly designed for tracking everything related to GD. I especially appreciate the testing reminders as I would often forget to start a separate timer on my phone when I started my meal and then would forget until over an hour or so later. Being able see when my last meal was helps me gauge when I should probably grab a snack. GD is so overwhelming at first and having a great tool like this available helps so much.

Thank you for this app

I don’t think I’ve ever reviewed an app before, but I felt compelled for this one. It’s so clean and intuitive, a complete blessing in what has otherwise been a tough time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Needs post meal blood glucose editing options

Very helpful and intuitive, but there is a glaring issue that needs attention. If you make a mistake in not categorizing a blood glucose reading as a post meal (+1 hr) reading, you cannot fix this mistake later and link it to the meal you intended- especially if you have eaten a meal since (say you meant to add a glucose reading to a lunch but didn’t properly categorize it as a post meal reading, you cannot add this reading to the meal if you notice this mistake later- especially if you had dinner prior to noticing the earlier mistake. You get an error message saying the reading is out of range or there is no option to add it directly to the meal entry).

Just what I was looking for

This is my 3rd pregnancy and each time I’ve had gestational diabetes where I’ve had to check my sugars 4x a day. Trying to find an easy to use yet simple app to track is a pain in the butt. I tried two others before I found this one and it’s literally perfect. And I LOVE the automatic reminder to check sugars after meals because with so many things going on day to day, it’s easy to forget.

This app is great (mostly)

This has been a very convenient way for me to track my blood sugars. My two main annoyances are:
1) sometimes I forget to start the timer right when I begin eating, and there’s no option to “begin” your meal a few minutes earlier than the current time. I really wish I could roll back the clock to make the countdown more accurate
2) If you start a meal or snack by accident, there is no way to delete it. I’ll usually just make a note that it was a mistake but it would really be nice to just be able to get rid of it

1. You can always click "edit meal" and change the time of your meal, then the countdown will be accurate 2. You can delete meals by long clicking on the meal record in the meals screen Thank you for the feedback!

Good enough

I really like that I can set timers for 1hr or 2hr after meals, and that you can put in notes about the different meals and readings! If I have a bad reading I like to make note of what I ate so I know to limit/stay away from that food in the future! My only issue is it won’t let me put in a fasting blood sugar. No matter what I put as my “time” it says I’m out of range. It really should just be a set “after __ hours”.

Thank you for the feedback! In the settings you can set after how many hours you want it to be defined as fasting. If you need help feel free to send me to rotem.maoz.dev@gmail.com

Super helpful

This app is amazing. Super user friendly, I love that it reminds me when to check after meals or I would forget. The only downside is that the fasting sugar is different from what my doctor told me to watch for so I have to remind them when I’m at my OB office for checks that the red isn’t really high according to my office regulations. Otherwise love this app!!

I'm glad you liked my app! You can easily change your personal sugar thresholds in the settings screen under "Target glucose levels". This way the colors will be correct for you :) If you need help please send me email: rotem.maoz.dev@gmail.com

Some bugs but overall good, basic app

Interface is simple and I like the report export feature. However, the time limit around when you can input +1 and +2 hour readings is too narrow—if you forget to input a reading, it’s very difficult to get the app to accept it and still have it tied to the relevant meal. In settings, you can change the accepted time ranges for inputs, so I made them very broad and now I can’t input any +1 or +2 hour data; it tells me everything is out of range, even though it’s inside the range I set. Not sure how to fix other than delete and reinstall the app, which of course means data loss. If that were fixed, it would be 5 stars.

I'm sorry you are having issues with entering the readings. There is no need to reinstall, please send me email to rotem.maoz.dev@gmail.com and I will help you solve the issue. Specifically end me a screenshot of the section "Measurement Time Ranges" in the app settings.

Love this!

This app is wonderful! I would love to see it integrated with Apple Watch as well to start a meal or track a reading quickly and discretely on the go!
