### 1/5 — App is buggy. Can’t load the home page with out the “try again” message.

*2026-02-21*

Continuous issues with app not working and keep getting a page load error - please try again in loading any of the links like home, members, etc…

### 1/5 — Not the same

*2026-02-18*

Not happy with the new Mighty web app. Can't get into my account…. I don't want to make a new account.

### 4/5 — VERY COOL

*2025-12-03*

This app is really cool to meet new friends but it is really slow and laggy and there is some features I wish were there , but this is the BEST app ive came across 😆 thank you

### 3/5 — Tried it

*2025-03-06*

Tried it for 5 mins. Why is it that any t1d support app or online forum have ages old posts in time line? I found myself commenting on a 9 yr old post. The idea of an app like this is awesome but needs to be current. Time is a huge factor with t1d, things change.

### 5/5 — Love this app.

*2025-01-23*

I was recently diagnosed with Type 1 and have been struggling learning about my new life + everything I got going on. This app helped me have contact to others like me. Loving this app so far

### 5/5 — Self care

*2022-11-24*

I went to go look for myself
They found me here and kept me! Hopefully I will run into myself.

### 3/5 — Request access?

*2022-01-06*

I just downloaded this app which I thought was for anyone but it’s telling me I have to request access and wait for approval? Is this the normal process of signing up for this app?

### 2/5 — The concept is nice, but...

*2020-05-12, version 6.8.2*

The concept for this app is nice, but it is a little hard to navigate when compared to other social media apps. Also, it has problem importing content from hyperlinks/URL’s like YouTube.com.

### 5/5 — Beyond Excellent!  Beyond Type 1!

*2020-01-15*

This is a fun safe place to share your type 1 struggles and realize that your not alone.  Cheers to Beyond Type 1!

### 5/5 — Bad company

*2019-12-13, version 6.5.1*

Beyond type 1 is good if you want hassle and complaints and blocks and blaming and gossip and attacks and reporting.  Because that is what some people like to do on there.
