Looks good but

I registered and confirmed my email went to write a post. Keep getting a message saying I can’t. Shame has now I’ll have to unsubscribe and delete the app.

Nearly a 5.

This app is the most help I have received to date to learn about diabetes. Confusing / poor info from medicos and ‘standard diet’ advice from government - helpfully explained. Lots of sub-categories to check different types/aspects of diabetes. Extremely well moderated. Easy to use.

Cannot post anything throws you out app worst app ever even a 1 star is too higher rating

Simple but less functionality than website

I find the app very easy to use, however it hasn’t been updated for several years and there are problems. I don’t receive notifications if my posts have been quoted or if someone has tagged me.
There are some functions I would like to see added which the full website has. I’d like to be able to respond to posts with something other than ‘like’. On the website you can use ‘funny, informative, optimistic’ etc.
also It would be helpful to see other members info, whether T1 or T2 etc which is possible by tapping on the thumbnail in the website.
