Comment on prend notre glucose ### 2/5 — Diabetes *2025-01-10, version 1.7.4* No fiable ### 3/5 — Glucose Polling interval *2024-04-29* Do you guys have an FAQ anywhere? Was looking to see what the default polling frequency is? Or if this is adjustable? I use a CGM that uploads to apple health but wasn’t sure how frequent and up to date the readings would be. **Developer response:** Hi, there is an FAQ. It can be found by going to the Settings tab in Glucomate and scrolling down to where it says FAQ. Tap that to view the FAQ. If the FAQ doesn't help you can send me an email and ask directly. The way to do that is the Contact button in the Settings which, conveniently, is located just below the FAQ button. To try and answer the question you've asked: If your readings are in Apple Health, Glucomate will show the latest and should keep it up to date whenever the app is open. There's no need to poll for readings as such - once readings are in HealthKit they are available to Glucomate. If you're talking about how often widgets/complicated are updated, that's a little more complicated due to system limitations such as only having limited widget updates (we try for every 10-15 minutes) and only having access to the HealthKit database when the device is unlocked. If you have specific questions about that, it's best to get in contact and I'll do my best to explain what's going on. Thanks, Zach ### 3/5 — Glucemias en el reloj *2023-12-02, version 1.4.9* Como conseguir que se sincronice con el applewatch y me aparezcan mis mediciones monitorizadas?? Solo consigo ver la glucemia cuando la pongo yo manualmente ### 2/5 — Not happy *2023-11-21* I can’t get it to check, I don’t have the monitor. **Developer response:** Hey, this app is for people who already record their blood sugar and want a nicer way to keep track and/or view summaries of the data. ### 3/5 — Good app but just wish it updated more often *2023-10-15* See above ### 3/5 — Very nice, but missing Watch complications *2023-09-18* I’m very surprised to see that this app doesn’t offer Watch face complications. **Developer response:** Hi Jon, Glucomate is relatively new and I'm still working through a long list of features to add. Watch complications are on that list, just haven't gotten around to it yet. If there's anything in particular you'd like to see in a complication, could you let me know by getting in touch via the "Contact" button in the Settings tab of the app? That way I'll be able to keep it in mind when I get around to building the complications. Thanks. ### 3/5 — AWC *2023-08-21* For a person who is battling to get their blood glucose levels down, this app works fairly well. Easy to read and operate. However there are a couple of things it needs. A place to record blood pressure and a place to record weight. It would be very handy to see these two fields in conjunction with blood sugar. Having said that the app for me is useful and scores a 3 out of 5. ### 4/5 — Gut aber paar Bugs *2023-04-24, version 1.0.2* Die App ist sehr gut aufgebaut, einfach zu verstehen und toll anzusehen. Allerdings werden mir immer älter Messwerte angezeigt welche mindestens 3 stunden alt sind. Ich messe mit dem Dexcom G6-Sensor in Verbindung mit dem Diabeloopsystem. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-03-19* If the whole point of the app is to log and keep track of your readings, it’s pretty pointless of an app if you can’t even log readings without paying a stupid subscription fee. Want to charge money? That’s fine but put some of the more “premium” features behind a paywall. Imagine downloading a note taking app but you had to pay to make a note. Useless. Would rate 0 stars if I could ### 1/5 — App do nothing what you can’t do yourself *2025-11-02* Not for use, so bad ### 1/5 — Usage *2024-07-04* This app seemed very attractive. However there is no clear explanation in how a person is to use it **Developer response:** Hey mate there's a pretty detailed FAQ list in the app. Alternatively there's a Contact button so feel free to get in touch that way via email if the FAQ's don't answer your questions. ### 1/5 — Não lê o CGM *2024-06-27* Não lê o CGM Libre 2 Pro **Developer response:** Olá, atualmente o Glucomate funciona apenas com HealthKit e é anunciado como tal. ### 1/5 — não funciona com o libre 2 *2024-06-25* achei que com esse aplicativo ele receberia as medições do libre 2 mas não **Developer response:** Olá, atualmente o Glucomate funciona apenas com HealthKit e é anunciado como tal. ### 1/5 — Can’t get it to start monitoring! *2023-12-18, version 1.5* App doesn’t provide clear instructions! ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2023-12-13* If you are getting this for the watch complication don’t bother! Although you do get a complication on your watch it’s time delayed the the reading is useless, unless your interested in knowing what your reading was 30-60 minutes ago! Want my money back! **Developer response:** Hey, I'm sorry to hear Glucomate isn't working out for you. You're able to request a refund from Apple (developers can't do this directly). If you Google "request refund app" you should find a link pointing you in the right direction. To explain what is going on here, the timeliness of the complication updates depends on when your glucose meter sends the reading across to HealthKit. They don't all do this in real-time. There can also be a delay in the readings being sent from your phone to watch. It comes down to a variety of factors outside of our control, but Glucomate will update the complications when a new reading is received on the watch. I'm interested to know a bit more about how your readings are being sent to your phone. If you could get in touch via the "Contact" button in the app and let me know that would be appreciated. Thanks, Zach ### 1/5 — Don’t pay for premium- false advertising *2023-10-24* The App Store page, and adverts within the App itself, claim to have Lock Screen widgets and Apple Watch complications. Neither of these things are provided. The closes you get to a widget is a long press on the app icon allowing you to log a reading. There are no actual widgets provided. The Watch App does not have complications that can be added to a watch face- just a stripped down version of the iPhone App. Shame, as the app itself isn’t bad, but premium is a huge false advertising scam and should be avoided. **Developer response:** Hi, make sure you are running the latest software on your iPhone and Apple Watch (iOS 17 & watchOS 10 or later). Once you do this, make sure Glucomate is up-to-date, and you'll find that both Lock Screen widgets and Apple Watch complications are available. If you have any trouble with this, please get in touch via the "Contact" button in the app and I'll do my best to help from there. - Zach ### 1/5 — Overpriced *2023-08-14* $60 just to write my A1C level one time? No thanks. This app lacks transparency for in app purchase required to subscribe to even use the app. **Developer response:** Hey, to clarify the app has multiple levels of pricing. It's subscription based, so roughly $2/month or $15/year. This allows you to record as many blood glucose readings (not A1C) as you like during the subscription period. Some people don't like subscriptions and prefer to pay once, which is what the $60 price you see is. This purchase also allows you to record as many readings as you like, without having to maintain an ongoing subscription. I'm not sure what you mean about lacking transparency? The prices are clearly displayed and the benefits of subscribing/paying are listed on every screen where the price is shown. If the app isn't for you then fair enough, but it's unfair to say it lacks transparency. ### 1/5 — Heakthkit? *2023-06-10* No instructions how to find or upload HealthKit and so now I am stuck with an app with money wasted!! **Developer response:** Hi. We discussed this over email. Glucomate does indeed work with HealthKit. The issue is that you don't have any blood glucose data in HealthKit, and an app can't magically take these readings for you - as much as we'd all like that. Also discussed, if you've paid for Premium in the app, you're able to request a refund from Apple. (They manage refunds - developers can't issue them directly.) Thanks, Zach ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazed *2025-07-29* Good no ads very helpful for diabetes people ### 5/5 — Top *2025-02-07, version 1.7.4* Ich finde die App super ### 5/5 — Glucomate great *2024-03-17* Great app I like it as well as my mom **Developer response:** Hi! I'm glad to hear this, and thank you for the kind review. 😀 - Zach ### 5/5 — Very nice, but missing Watch complications *2024-01-05* Yay watch complications are there now! **Developer response:** Hi Jon, Glucomate is relatively new and I'm still working through a long list of features to add. Watch complications are on that list, just haven't gotten around to it yet. If there's anything in particular you'd like to see in a complication, could you let me know by getting in touch via the "Contact" button in the Settings tab of the app? That way I'll be able to keep it in mind when I get around to building the complications. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Marvellous! *2023-11-11* A fantastic app from a dedicated developer. The app (on iPhone and WatchOS) are super easy to use and are well designed. The app pulls in data super quickly from Apple health without issue. Most recent updates for iOS 17 were great as it brought the addition of Home Screen widgets and a subsequent update brought Apple Watch complications which was super welcome. Please keep up the good work! **Developer response:** Thank you for the very kind words! 😀 ### 5/5 — App is wonderful support good too *2023-09-03* My glucose monitor doesn’t integrate with the health app, this application lets me add data which integrates with the health app. It is even better because I can correct for errors when the reader is wrong. My question about deleting an incorrect value I had entered was answered very quickly, even on a holiday weekend. Even better, there were two different ways to fix the problem. Recommend this app to everyone. ### 5/5 — Fantastic, tasteful, useful app *2023-04-19* This app is useful, elegant, intuitive, and offers incredible insights into my glucose levels over time. ### 4/5 — Verlauf *2025-01-18, version 1.7.4* Der Diabetes Tracker ist super toll aaaaaber wenn man auf Verlauf geht und man möchte sich die komplette Woche anschauen lässt es sich kaum scrollen ### 4/5 — Buena App *2023-11-14, version 1.4.5* Buena App, se enfoca en lo que necesita. Muy caro el premium ### 4/5 — Easy to use. *2023-11-07* Love this app. Helps me keep track of my levels very easily using my watch. A reminder system would be great between level checking and whether the reading was before or after eating when using the watch to record your levels. I would also love a worm graph instead of the dots. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
