Lots of new foods out there that are low carb so scanning would be a huge help ### 4/5 — What I think of this program so far *2016-08-12, version 1.5.1* I am a new user to this program. My doctor wanted carbs vs calories this program seems to foot the bill Easley. So far the only thing i really really miss is the ability to "" scan"" in my foods vs try to find the proper one example would be ham. Between ham and bacon there must be 50 entry's to go thru. Salad dressing only a handful. Scanning is a great way to start your "my favorites log". It helps to get it right the first time and not have to change it 10 times to get it right. The help page log helps a lot. The program is easy to get thru once you get the hang of it. Thanks Jerry ### 4/5 — Cool app for diabetics *2016-07-24, version 1.5.1* I was looking for an app that would allow me to keep track of my numbers when I found this app. It is easy to use and very helpful. ### 4/5 — Good app *2016-02-26, version 1.5.1* Compared multiple apps, the small fee to use the entire app options is worth it. Only downside is not able to find a percentage of foods in the brand names or general look up. So I have to guess or read label for the breakdown and create my own food if I eat it a lot. Kudos tho!! ### 4/5 — Diabetes *2016-02-08, version 1.5.1* It is so hard to keep track of all you do, eat, drink, activity and carbs. Just started using this app and already feel it may really help me get things under control. ### 4/5 — Better than Atkins App *2016-01-05, version 1.5.1* I used to use the Atkins app but this one gives you the ability to track other information, not just carbs. Also, Atkins forced upgrade to newer os and won't load onto older device... I like this one !! ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-09-11, version 1.5.1* This is easy to use if you access the help menu. I was able to get great results the first try. I've already recommended it to a friend. ### 5/5 — Great Tool *2015-09-03, version 1.5.1* I recently found out I may be diabetic so I downloaded this app to help track my carbs and sugars. It's been such a help and helped me to be more aware of what I'm eating. It's also so easy to use. ### 4/5 — For my life *2015-08-28, version 1.5.1* I haven't gotten into the app a lot but I love how it will help keep track of everything I need especially carbohydrates really need this to help control my diabetes ### 4/5 — Sales *2015-07-06, version 1.5.1* Very useful when tracking carbs when trying to lose weight. Quick and easy. ### 4/5 — Regular diabetes not adjustable for gestational *2015-06-16, version 1.5.1* I have many diabetics in my family. So it's no surprise for to become gestational diabetic during pregnancy. I was looking for something to help me track food intake, calories, and blood sugar levels. This app fit most of my needs. However a regular diabetic needs less calories in their diet than a pregnant diabetic. I have yet to figure out a way to adjust calories and such to fit a pregnant woman's needs. Most all diabetic supplies, apps, and programs neglect gestational diabetes so so it is nothing that am not already used to in my one complaint. I will be recommending this app to my mother and father for helping them track my father's type 2. ### 5/5 — Great App *2015-05-10, version 1.5.1* I'm pre-diabetic and this app is greatly helping me to modify my carb intake. I love that it sets the amount of carbs I can eat for the day. This way I can stay in the pre category And I absolutely love the water counter. I am not a great fan of water, but seeing the number of glasses ad water I haven't had encourages me to drink more water. ### 5/5 — Nice app *2015-04-30, version 1.5.1* Easy to read and use. I recommend this app for diabetics that need to track their glucose, activity, and carb journal. Helps to keep me in track. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Miss leading *2016-08-03, version 1.5.1* I will now be using your app or recommend to any one on a scale 1-10 ur a -1. I used ur app lite version there was no mention of trial period I've been using the app to monitor and keep records for my doctor to report on how my new meds insulin is working for two weeks now. But today I log my password to enter my glucose an I'm locked out unless I upgrade an I can't get any of my history at a time when my life depends on data, I had a heart attack an stroke and most med are not workings so they're trying but we need data an know your app has set us back. You could have told me this. ### 1/5 — Helpful App *2016-01-27, version 1.5.1* As someone diagnosed with borderline diabetes, this App provides a short term tool to track carbs, water intake and all that is part of eating and living healthier to control my condition. Using it for this purpose "does not"? present limitations. Wrong, there is a serious limitation. Want to further update this review regarding my failure to fully understand the conditions of the App. It is a SAMPLE app and does not do anything but let you try it, on a short term basis, before you are compelled to pay for it. There many other Apps that will track daily nutrition without having be stopped while trying to continue to track important relevant dietary information. This app should not be offered under these conditions. In effect, you will loose all your data if you don't pay for it. ### 1/5 — Unsupperted App *2015-12-02, version 1.5.1* This app has not been supported since Nov 2013. I tried the lite version and it was easy to use. I upgraded to the full version and used it for 6 months, but the longer I used it the more evident the lack of support became. One of the most important things are the food lists in the app. These have become very outdated, causing me to have to go to resources outside the app for info. Got tired of this and finally just went to another app altogether. If the authors are not going to provide on-going support, this app should be discontinued since people spend their money on a completely inadequate app without knowing about he lack of support. ### 2/5 — Needs more info... *2015-06-30, version 1.5.1* So far this app doesn't carry major name brands of things (like Jif or Honey Maid) so I have to do a "quick carb input" of most items I eat, which is a pain in the rear to say the least. I will probably just use the MyFitnessPal app to watch carb intake because their system has SO many options when putting in your food intake-I can use another app for the blood levels, there are a few apps for that that are free as well. ### 2/5 — Lack of updates worrisome *2015-06-22, version 1.5.1* This app has everything a diabetic needs to track their diabetes. However, the lack of updates is worrisome. It is not clear if the app will be updated for iOS9. I have contacted the developers via the app but have not heard anything. I would love to give it a 5 star rating if they are going to update the app. ### 2/5 — Misleading *2014-11-20, version 1.5.1* The app itself is good. But it says "free" and then after 2.5 days says you have to upgrade ($6.99) to make any more entries. It should say this from the start. I have now had to write down all my entries so ican re-enter them in the new app I'm purchasing (not this one - if I'm going to pay for it, I'm going to find one that will let me separate out the nutritional content of each of the three daily snacks). ### 2/5 — Needs work *2014-06-05, version 1.5.1* It is a versatile and detailed app, but I will not buy it until the "lite" version allows me to enter ORAL tablet dosages. It only allows insulin units. Useless for half the market that does not use insulin. I looked for a way to do this, but can only use 1 unit in the notes section. ### 3/5 — New2me *2015-07-11, version 1.5.1* This new venture is new to me. Recently diagnosed. Some of it is me not knowing. I got it initially and mainly to log my 3xs a day testing. If I'm doing it right, I'm logging it under Glucose. But it says mg/dl, is that where I put my readings? Not sure how that relates to my/dl but that's where I put it. The running tally i thought would be separated by day and view by month. Right now, it's just a list. I guess it's ok... But maybe I don't get it. But that's part of apps being great... Ease of use ### 3/5 — Will not transfer info when you upgrade *2015-05-09, version 1.5.1* I tried it out through the lite version first to see if it was for me. The lite version will only allow you to log 10 glucose readings before it forces you to upgrade. Okay, no big deal. I selected "upgrade" within the app, purchased the full version, and went in to log my new glucose level. It did not transfer any of the information I logged from the lite app into the full version at all. I have used all the features, and it would take me several hours to re-log all of the information. This is definitely a flaw that I hope they fix soon. ### 3/5 — I don't like surprises :( *2014-11-26, version 1.5.1* I downloaded 2 different apps for glucose monitoring - the other was glucose buddy. I wanted to see which would work best for my needs. I like the ease of entry and its comprehensive nature, although I track the other features elsewhere. I was still torn until my attempted 11th entry. If it's not free or if it will require an upgrade to continue, then tell me that from the beginning. :( I even checked to see the difference between the lite and the full versions and saw no real difference. I'll continue using Glucose Buddy. Hopefully, there'll be no surprises there. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — First timer *2018-01-03, version 1.5.1* This is a great app. However, there are a lot of things to learn in order to operate it correctly. ### 5/5 — So far, so good *2017-06-15, version 1.5.1* We are just getting started with counting glucose and dosing. This app has been very helpful. I haven't gotten totally into it yet, but it looks very promising. ### 5/5 — Enjoy so far *2016-12-09, version 1.5.1* I enjoy the ability to monitor both my weight and blood sugar in one convenient app ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-08-10, version 1.5.1* I have had no problems with this app. It makes it so much easier to keep track of everything. I've tried others but I wasn't happy with them so I searched and found this one. It's so easy to use. ### 5/5 — Just what I need! *2016-07-10, version 1.5.1* It has covered most of food in restaurants as well as common food! It also allows you adding your home made dishes! Excellent work! I wish i can back it up with icloud! ### 5/5 — Diabetes app *2016-05-21, version 1.5.1* This app is easy to set up and easy to use and that makes it exciting to monitor so I feel like I'm winning the battle. I can see my progress or where I need to make changes that makes me feel better over all. Diabetes is a tough opponent but with this app added to my arsenal we can put a hurting on it, in turn we feel better. It's a winner for me! ### 5/5 — So far, so good *2016-04-11, version 1.5.1* I'm using Diabetes Lite, version 1.5.1. So far, I like it very much. My main challenge is getting myself to record consistently: this app makes that job as convenient as it can be made. I like its lists of common foods, Brand Names, and the "add your own foods" feature. I also use the "Favorites" feature often, especially for recording breakfast. ### 5/5 — Great *2016-01-11, version 1.5.1* This app is really useful and helps me log all my info. I've always had trouble with drinking enough water--this keeps me on my toes about that as well! Great health app, would recommend ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2015-10-15, version 1.5.1* I am pre-diabetic. This app is easy enough to use so I don't put it off. A hit and miss record is not of much use. I do not use all of the features but I am slowly being more complete in my record keeping. I am glad I have it. Thanks ### 5/5 — Perfect for Ketogenic Tracking *2015-09-27, version 1.5.1* I have gone through many different apps looking for a comprehensive carb list and tracker and this one fits the bill. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
