### 3/5 — Apple Watch support removed?

*2023-08-07*

Edit: I got an explanation from the developer and a solution is coming. It would have been nice to have that explanation on the release notes though. 

Why was watch support removed? This was the single reason I used this app. Is there an explanation of removing this?

**Developer response:** Apple watch support is back and the most important part works already again, you can get your current blood glucose on the watch itself. And if you have an 4/5G version you can get the value even without having the phone with you. The complications do not show the value because you are only able to get around 50 updates per day which would be around an update every 30 minutes. I will look into updating the complications in the background again but that needs more time.

### 1/5 — Apple Watch support removed?

*2023-08-05*

Why was watch support removed? This was the single reason I used this app. Is there an explanation of removing this?

### 5/5 — Excellent and simple

*2022-05-28, version 5.2*

It’s the small things, this is the only Nightscout integrated app I’ve found that has a homesceen widget that displays my blood sugar instantly. Thanks.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t update quick enough to be useful

*2022-04-23, version 5.1*

Minimum update time is 3h. That’s about as much use as getting your blood sugar reading sent to you in the post. Should be 5 minutes max! 🙄

### 1/5 — doesn´t work

*2022-02-07*

just doesn´t work

### 1/5 — Wrong unit of measurement on Apple Watch

*2020-11-07, version 3.3*

This app fails to show mmols on the Apple Watch, despite having that selected in the app.

### 5/5 — Great iOS 14 support

*2020-09-22*

Thrilled to have a widget on my Home Screen now that shows my numbers! Thank you!

### 2/5 — Good

*2020-09-21*

But it doesn’t switch to mmol numbers when u change the settings

**Developer response:** This should be fixed in Version 2.6. Please let me know if it still doesn‘t work for you
