Was fine, then stopped working with the device

Stopped working with the device which caused a world of inconvenience. Had new activation codes but would never link again and have to manually upload every reading. Massive pain. At this point the app becomes quite poor because you can’t enter the detail of the reading ie date and time. So I write this on a Saturday morning and I forgot to enter my Friday night reading, when I go to enter it now it comes up as ‘after dinner’ but on the Saturday and I can’t edit this to Friday night or add the times etc.

Wtf

hate this, never use it

For pregnant women this gdm health is perfect

Very good for pregnant women! Doctor can see whenever the doctor want and it’s really helpful ❤️

Great

This is a very good way of watching what we eat and also help us maintain a good health and diet if properly followed ” We can say we are what we eat”.

Very basic

This app doesn’t let me edit times or enter results prior to activation. Needs to be more detailed guidance/info on the right types of food. Explaining G.I. and how it effects readings, especially as being newly diagnosed can feel like a minefield of what to look for in foods (not all whole meal bread is good for example). I’m only using this because I have to for NHS but I have another app which is far better.

App not working after update

The recent update v19.2 requires accepting agreement but it would not let me accept it. Even after reading through and pressing I Agree, it stays on the same screen. I have been using for a month and suddenly it stopped working today. Please can you assist?

Add previous readings

The app should allow you to add readings from previous days, it does not allow you to edit a date or time on a reading.

Great app but…

Great app, does the job but I hate the fact that you can’t go back and add the previous day’s readings when you forget to.

TC

Since the upgrade the Bluetooth doesn’t work, so I can’t such the data from my reader and phone, otherwise ok device. I’d like an option to enter insulin intake too.

Device doesn’t sync

The device never syncs to the app I have to cancel and re install app everytime I want my health professional to see my readings .

Great monitoring app

I have been using this app and I am impressed with how easy it is to use. Has very insightful information on diabetes and how to bring it down. Thank you

Easy to use

App is very easy to view and add bloods.

Edit/delete function

Good app, but an edit/delete function would be very useful since mistakes are sometimes made (I’m inputting readings manually).

Latest update problematic

Good app but latest update (extended subheading in the ‘Comments’ feature) means you can’t see what you’re typing when used on iPhone 7 - very difficult to communicate necessary details, which is after all the app’s primary function!

Problems with Bluetooth

I think this app is great and a very useful tool to have more control and interest in sugar levels but also a good communication tool with over worked health care providers. Makes me feel like I am being monitored closely but only having intervention when needed.
Only problem is that the Bluetooth function rarely works I have an iPhone 11 and it only connects 20% of the time doesn’t really matter as you can add manually but if that doesn’t work there’s probably some waste of money in terms of the technology.

Could be so much better

This app has been super helpful in allowing me to record my BG levels, however, I find it majorly frustrating and restrictive for several reasons.

1. It never syncs to my phone so I have to enter data manually.

2. You should be able to go back to previous days to add in data. I’m rarely with my phone when I test, especially after breakfast/lunch. I often forget or don’t get a chance to input data until late and need to be able to go to yesterday’s date to do so.

3. You should be able to erase/edit data. A few times I have put the numbers in the wrong way around, or made some type of error and cannot change it.

Constantly fails to sync readings!!

For the last few days I get the error message ‘failed to sync readings, please check your network connection’. I know I am connected to the internet and have tried connecting to other networks and using my mobile internet, and nothing!!

This is frustrating and worrying as my readings are clearly not being sent through to my midwife so she won’t be able to see them on her system. There is clearly a glitch or a problem with the app!! Troubleshooting section of the app also does not help!

Scan button doesn’t work

Rather frustrating that I need to manually close down and restart the app every single time I want to sync readings with my reader. If you touch the “scan” button, nothing happens - it’s as if you aren’t touching it. Only when you manually close down and restart, will it allow you to touch the scan button.

Lots of issues

1. Constantly disconnects from my iPhone 10. Always have to connect the device manually via Bluetooth to scan the data. Even in case of manually connection, it takes 2-4 attempts to connect to the device. It never connects from a first try.
2. Scanning data never works from the first try, I always get “time out” error. And then you need to re-launch the app to scan data again, otherwise the button “scan” doesn’t respond.
3. There were cases when after entering the meal (typing lot of details), “save” button didn’t respond.
4. Faced an issue when test results were duplicated and there’s no option to delete duplications.
5. A few times manually entered data wasn’t saved in the app.

Great app but issues after update

This app is very helpful, particularly being new to the diabetes world. I updated it as soon as the new update came out to try and fix the scan button not working every so often and now I can’t add a meal type to my readings. Would be good to have a fix for that soon.
