Can’t change my weight though. I add the new weight because I’ve lost some, I press save, but it still shows my starting weight. Being as I only paid £1.79, I’m goinf to look for another app. ### 4/5 — User friendly *2022-08-07, version 6.0* Nice app with loads of customizing features. ### 3/5 — Simple, but some issues *2022-07-18, version 6.0* It works well, but it’s ad-driven. When an ad pops up, it interrupts what you’re doing, and when you exit the ad, the input screen is all screwed up, so you have to exit, and then go back. The ads pop up every other time you go to input data (which can make entering in old data PAINFUL). ### 3/5 — Crashing *2021-10-09, version 6.0* I have this app on my iPhone and iPad. I can no longer back up my readings from one device to the other via Dropbox. As soon as I click on backup or restore via Dropbox it crashes on either device ### 5/5 — Works every day! *2019-04-07, version 6.0* I have used this app for over two years. It is easy to input and the tracking is great. I would not be without this app. ### 5/5 — Very pleased with the app *2019-01-28, version 6.0* This works really nice, format is easy fo figure out, it’s easy to record, and review. Think it will be a good thing to take to my Dr. when we review my control levels. Very happy I tried this one. ### 4/5 — Easy to monitor your numbers *2019-01-02, version 6.0* Also easy to use. I’m just starting to blood sugar issues may be prediabetic. This system is easy. ### 5/5 — Just what l was looking for *2018-12-23, version 6.0* Just got it today, l really love it. I am going to check out what other apps are made by Maxwell Software to show my support for a company that seems to care about it’s customers What a rare jewel...thank you ### 5/5 — Muy util *2018-12-12, version 6.0* Con el historial Le muestro al doctor como va mi presión ### 4/5 — WORKING FOR ME *2018-12-02, version 6.0* Comprehensive. Easy when you make entries daily. Very detailed printout to submit to my doctor. Would definitely recommend this app. ### 5/5 — Best *2018-11-28, version 6.0* Awesome, I love it..best app I have found ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-08-30, version 6.0* My blood sugar recently went out of control. Through weight loss, diet control and more regular exercise I am back where I want to be. Good way to track progress and provide report for my Doctor. Running avg blood glucose is helpful. Would like a toggle that converts average glucose to anticipated Hgb A1c. That’s the kind of feedback that helps get to the goal you want. ### 4/5 — Easy to use. *2018-08-26, version 6.0* Interface seems a little dated, but it is quick and easy to use. I also use the blood pressure tracking app; it would be helpful if they were integrated or the interface was more similar. ### 5/5 — Glucose *2018-06-15, version 6.0* This is a great piece of software to keep me on track with my diabetes readings and helps a huge amount in control. ### 3/5 — The Usual Scam *2018-05-15, version 6.0* Beware, they try to sell you the “upgrade” bait and switch. Plus they are data mining your personal information and selling it on. So be careful in what you put in. ### 4/5 — Glucose Companion - Free Version *2018-04-24, version 6.0* If I were to purchase this app, I would like BP to be included without having to put the data in manually with no graph reference for BP. Also diet intake and exercise tracker would make this app worth paying for as it clear, concise and easy to use but other apps have the added above but not the clarity of this app. Include exercise tracker from fitbit etc and ability to record food intake would make brilliant app. Love to that it can interact data to be sent to GP. ### 5/5 — Glucose app *2018-04-18, version 6.0* Very useful app in interacting with persons with Diabetes and Health care providers ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hi sugar *2022-11-04, version 6.0* Deceptive that the app is listed as being free when in fact it is free as long as you don’t mind the ads and are not disconcerted by Uncle Google knowing your sugars and weight and is monitoring these personal (eg, private) issues. ### 1/5 — Ok *2019-07-23, version 6.0* This app doesn’t do everything, even though I have updated to professional, I cannot send any data to m doctor or diabetes nurse as it keeps telling me I need to set up a mail account but it doesn’t have any links to set up said mail account, I have put me email address in my profile, apart from that it’s good for collecting the data I enter but that’s as far as it goes. Can’t even contact anyone as I have not got a mail account setup. ### 1/5 — Porcaria *2017-11-03, version 5.2* Mesmo comprando o app continuo recebendo propaganda. Vergonha, palhaçada ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2017-05-16, version 5.1.1* Read reviews and downloaded app. No instructions and have no idea how to get help. Can't enter readings for the day. Uninstalling! ### 1/5 — Mehh *2016-10-27, version 5.1.1* I like the app but you get pop up ads at really inconvenient times. The ads at the bottom are fine the pop ups are stupid tho ### 1/5 — Unable to use offline. *2016-09-30, version 5.1* Since the new update the app won't stay open. Continually closes before I can add any info. Used to work without Internet access. Other than that love it. So simple to use and see progress. ### 1/5 — Beware! *2016-03-02, version 4.4* This would be an excellent app if the upgrade was reliable, but it is not. I bought the upgrade and it became inaccessible, so I wrote to the developers but got no answer. iTunes reimbursed me and thinking it may be a fluke, I purchased the full app again, only to have the same problem a few days later. Same scenario - no response from the developers. I have twice lost all my data and am very annoyed. ITunes advised me not to purchase again until the developers have fixed the problem. I won't and advise any potential purchaser to be very weary! Perhaps this may stimulate the developers to respond and fix the problem... who knows... ### 1/5 — New version is crap *2015-03-04, version 4.1.1* I've been using this for quite a time, an easy to use program, easy to review my readings and friendly look.....then they have done an upgrade and now the overall look is not pleasant, not easy to read and understand at a glance and the graphs are too larger scale to see a trend....all in all, the previous version was excellent, this latest version, complete crap an not user friendly. Like most thins now it has to be made to look like face book..what has been lost is that this program is mostly used by more senior people and had a more friendly and appealing format...basically, you have upgraded it far worse!. ...how can I reinstall t ### 1/5 — Not easy *2013-04-03, version 1.3* Not easy to use, don't bother with it ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work too well *2018-04-26, version 6.0* It only let you use the “out of bed” for your glucose readings, you cant change it to after breakfast, before lunch etc. Not happy! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Encourage *2022-11-25, version 6.0* My sugars have been out of control for several months. This app is helping me monitor my diet, water input and exercising. I love the A1C monitoring. It is very helpful. Thanks ### 5/5 — Ilko *2022-11-23, version 6.0* Best app ever!! ### 5/5 — Great Simple & effective *2022-10-09, version 6.0* Been looking for n app that I could easily record my daily glucose level. Wish I could use this on my iPhone ### 5/5 — So easy to use! *2021-08-05, version 6.0* This app is easy to use and I can keep track of sugar levels throughout the day, as well as my weight, all in one place! ### 5/5 — Like app very helpful *2021-07-14, version 6.0* Like the info you can put in & the chart that shows! It helps dramatically! 👍🏾👍🏾 ### 5/5 — Easy to Use *2021-05-28, version 6.0* I was diagnosed last summer with prediabetes. This app is easy to use and easy to see your blood sugar average. ### 5/5 — Free to use *2020-12-07, version 6.0* Great app if you just want to record your basic BSL with a few simple graphs. ### 5/5 — Glucose Companion...WOW *2020-08-25, version 6.0* I've spent the last few hours researching and trying out glucose recording apps. So many shoddy ones. So many pay up if you want to actually use it. So many with settings just for US values. Yours is none of those. Yours is wonderfully flexible, is easy to enter data AND allows me to export visually clear, impressive CSV, HTML and PDFs. As I said above...WOW ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-06-21, version 6.0* Works well. I have not tried exporting but that is important to me and next. ### 5/5 — Glucose app *2019-12-12, version 6.0* Have used this for several years. Short and to the point. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
