### 1/5 — GX patch scan faulty

*2026-06-28, version 3.1.0*

The camera for gx patch scan doesn’t focus, preventing scan, so the patches are useless

### 1/5 — App sucks

*2026-06-18, version 3.1.0*

This is a huge waste of money. I spent how much on the patches and it’s the stupid app that doesn’t work?  First off - why do I even need a stupid app?  But I have now downloaded it twice, and either I am immediately logged out as soon as I log in or I get a “something went wrong try again “ message. So damn annoying!!!!  Total waste of money and time!!!

### 3/5 — Good

*2026-01-25, version 3.0.1*

Good

### 1/5 — Faulty glitchy app

*2026-01-24, version 3.0.1*

App doesn’t work at all

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2025-11-18, version 2.9.7*

App keeps hanging up when trying to enter DOB for sweat patches scan. Can’t use - waste of money.

### 1/5 — Sweat Patch with Forgetful App

*2025-11-18, version 2.9.7*

Tried using the sweat patch. Everything went ok. Finished exercise, took a few times to get the scan picture acceptable. Then I was prompted for questions about the exercise, had to wait a few minutes before I could come up with how much I drank. Too slow to enter that I guess, the app resets and prompts me to scan the patch. So it lost all the info entered, including the patch scan. Since the patch keeps filling up with sweat as time goes on, my results are now messed up. Wasted a patch. Why does the app develop ammesia after a few minutes? Please fix.

### 1/5 — Sweat patch

*2025-10-23, version 2.9.7*

Wouldn’t scan the patch no matter how hard I tried after my workout. Pretty upset as I wanted to get someone information on how my body works during a workout but guess not wasted my 2 patches for nothing

### 1/5 — Camera won’t focus

*2025-10-06, version 2.9.5*

The camera will not focus on the patch resulting in all scans failing.

### 1/5 — Can't open app

*2025-09-10, version 2.9.4*

I downloaded the app I was trying to the app it opens to the lightning bolt and boots me back to my Home Screen on my iPad

### 1/5 — Big Brand Fail

*2025-08-19, version 2.9.3*

A brand as big as Gatorade, promoting the app through the sale of the Gatorade sweat patch and smart bottle, you would think that they would have a working app where you could AT LEAST get past the sign in page. Nope. And looking at 4 years of reviews, nothing has changed. What are we doing here besides wasting time and people’s money?
