### 1/5 — Looks good but

*2023-11-06, version 5.4.65*

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.

### 4/5 — Nearly a 5.

*2023-10-15, version 5.4.65*

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.

### 1/5 — Overall

*2023-05-31, version 5.4.65*

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

### 4/5 — Simple but less functionality than website

*2022-08-03, version 5.4.65*

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.

### 5/5 — Great forums

*2020-11-12, version 5.4.65*

The forums are full of people going through the same issues, so it’s a great place to get help and advice.

### 4/5 — Good site but one bug bearer!!

*2020-09-26, version 5.4.65*

Can you make it so that the app fills the screen of the iPhone X and on? It is so frustrating not having a full screen on my new 11

### 5/5 — My tribe

*2020-06-10, version 5.4.65*

Found my tribe with this forum thanks for giving this for free

### 5/5 — It’s a lifesaver.

*2019-11-19, version 5.4.65*

Can’t say more
I love my forum family.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2019-05-11, version 5.4.65*

Seems needlessly complicated to set up. I set up an account with username and password. When I try to log into app it denies my account exists.

### 5/5 — Life Changing

*2019-04-28, version 5.4.65*

Being diagnosed diabetic is a scary thing, but finding this community is brilliant, they are supportive and know from experience the best way to change things, you no longer feel alone and the app is brilliant and gives quick easy access.
