### 5/5 — Great very useful

*2021-05-26, version 2.6.1*

Love this app, so helpful

### 4/5 — Good but a couple of annoyances

*2020-01-25, version 2.5*

Helpful to be able to interface easily with the DAFNE website, and the diary input is mostly great.

The plotting facility isn't much use at all - plots seem to be very busy and hard to configure, but there are other apps for that. If there could be something like a grid view for looking back at the diary that'd be really useful.

My other gripe is that it often tries to automatically figure out what sort of entry you're making based on time of day. If you eat a late lunch or dinner or something there's no way to configure those automatic windows so you're always having to tweak the details.

Those are fairly minor complaints though.

### 5/5 — Great little app!

*2018-11-03, version 2.3.5*

Great app that I use constantly to keep a good record of my levels and see averages which make life easy to monitor! 

On another note I had a small crashing issue since an Apple update, but It was no problem with the amazing support from Simon, who had it worked out and repaired in a few days with a constant stream of emails keeping me updated! 10/10 to Simon and this app 😎

### 2/5 — Difficulty using

*2018-10-18, version 2.3.3*

Despite having a DAFNE log in I keep getting the connection failed message. It pops up so frequently that it makes entering any information practically impossible. When it works it works well and is a useful app. The glitch is incredibly frustrating.

### 4/5 — Very useful app

*2018-09-29, version 2.3.3*

This app was brilliant before the latest software updates. Now I am having problems uploading my glucose readings.It  does not upload it to the diary and that is annoying this needs to be fixed.

### 1/5 — Since this latest update...

*2018-09-27, version 2.3.2*

...what have you done to the app???? Readings are missing from the diary, 1 weeks readings have appeared at 12.01 on one day. Please fix or I am going to have to use an alternative.

### 5/5 — Running well once again. (Fixed)

*2018-09-20, version 2.3*

Running stable on ios12 after recent update.

### 5/5 — I'd be lost without it

*2017-06-28, version 2.2.4*

I detest taking my blood sugar, mainly because I have to write it down in that horrible little orange book and I can't keep track or I lose the book so don't test for days.. however this app has been like a breath of fresh air, not only am I recording my BG 5-7 or so times a day and actually keeping on top of it, it takes 5 seconds to record on my phone and is a lot easier to see where my BI needs adjusting! Perfect.

### 5/5 — Login bugs mean you can't sync app with DAFNE website

*2016-05-01, version 2.2.4*

Having had some initial issues in using the app (quickly resolved on the DAFNE forums) I can confirm this is a great app for DAFNE "graduates".

If, like me, you don't want to carry an old fashioned notebook to track your control, this is the app for you.

Well done guys.

### 5/5 — At Last , a Mac Friendly app for diabetics

*2016-02-14, version 2.2.4*

Looking forward to using this to record and update my Type 1 Diary which can hopefully be transmitted to the hospital dietician
