### 4/5 — Time for an update.

*2022-07-15*

I have been very happy with this simple but powerful means of keeping track of my readings as well as presenting history to my Doctor. However, both the older version and the latest update are somehow in conflict with AOS 15.5. 

Every time that I launch this app, I get a message that the IOS settings have changed and that I must Re-launch the app. This added step usually allows me to record the day’s readings but sometimes will require me to re-launch several times.

I chose and use this app for its simplicity and ease of use and history display. I haven’t found any other app that beats it for what I’m looking for. However, having the app continually require me to relaunch is making me reconsider my choice.

Please fix this!

### 4/5 — Fast and simple

*2012-10-22*

Works great for me. I test three to four times a day and need something quick that works across all my IOS devices.

Unlike others, I have not had a problem with IOS 6. Maybe it has been fixed.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2012-09-14*

This is what I have searched through a lot of apps for! It lets you group your blood sugars and displays them on a graph, including times. You can do it by 2 days, a week, or more. It is so easy to interpret them with the simple but effective app. Support has been great, also, at answering questions.

### 5/5 — Simple and Helpful

*2012-07-08, version 1.1*

Can't complain at all syncs great over the cloud and gives useful info to us and our healthcare professionals
Many thanks for a simple and cost effective solution to all our paperwork

### 5/5 — Fantastic and Simple

*2012-06-27*

This app is smooth, sleek, and syncs to my iPad via iCloud.  It's almost everything I want in a tracker...  Just needs another tab or two on the bottom for insulin injections.

### 3/5 — Deleting across platforms

*2012-06-12, version 1.1*

I have been waiting a long time for a diabetes app which uses the cloud to maintain synchronous readings across platforms, so I bought this as soon as I found it.  It looks great but I found that deleting a reading on the iPhone does not cause the reading to be deleted on the iPad. The graph point disappears ok, but it leaves behind a written note on the iPad graph, and I can find no way of getting rid of it.  Also, there seems to be no way to choose types of readings other than those offered by a selector wheel. A 'Miscellaneous' option would be good. Then, why can I  not email a list of readings instead of the graph?  Three stars for the smooth updating across platforms but a way to go.

### 4/5 — sometimes less is more…..

*2012-06-12*

I have tried several diabetic apps before - they usually need too much information…..after a few days i find them taking too much of my time for less than useful results. This app is perfect, I can keep an on the fly record of my blood sugars and it works as a good reminder for me especially when i am making changes in diet or medication. I  have used it for a week now and have gone back several times to specific records to find out why something was happening. I hated carrying around a paper log book and i would either lose it, forget it somewhere or just give up on it. This works for me and i can print a copy for my Dr. I would also like to have the ability to print my records with times and notes, not just the graph……then this app would be 10 stars.

### 5/5 — Blood Sugar Tracker

*2012-05-25*

Thank you for the app. Have been looking for one that will give me point to point testings without the average reading. The average on this app is at the top both are needed but when I look I want point to point. Nice APP

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2013-09-14, version 1.7*

Just downloaded based on review stars listed (my bad) stupid app doesn't load at all! How do I get my $ back!?

### 1/5 — Waste of money !

*2013-03-29, version 1.5*

It doesn't work at all .please don't  waste your money . Thanks !

### 1/5 — It USED to work well

*2012-10-16, version 1.3.1*

In iOS 6 this app now crashes every time a value is put in making it useless.

### 2/5 — Where the graphs

*2013-12-23*

Went from 5 star to 2 when you cut out the graphs in the app. Put'em back !

### 2/5 — Latest update

*2013-11-26*

What happened to the graph function with the latest ? Update?

### 2/5 — Syncing problem

*2013-05-03*

App does not sync properly from my iPhone with my iPad, however it does sync from my iPad to my iPhone. I have not received any assistance other than telling me to restart my iPhone back to factor settings.

### 2/5 — No import/export? FAIL

*2012-12-03*

This app would have been perfect but is missing one critical feature. There is no way to export or import information. What was the developer thinking to leave out this feature? Yes you can save as PDF but you can't do anything with that data! Very disappointed!

### 2/5 — This last update broke stats at top of graph

*2012-12-01*

Now seems to be showing all time values instead of range of graph

### 2/5 — Unfinished App

*2012-07-22*

I am not happy paying for this app when it won't graph for any longer than 4 weeks or by time of day or delete entries. 

It is an unfinished mess and I will have to delete it and find another that works.

### 3/5 — Screens

*2014-08-15*

Great app, but I can't figure out how to go between the graph screen and the screen where data is entered.

### 5/5 — Vivien

*2024-02-26, version 3.0.9*

I have used this app now for many years, simple and easy to use, every week I email to my diabetic nurse for her review.  I have looked at other apps with their bells and whistles which I don’t want, I want one just to monitor one thing my glucose level, to write a not and be able to send my reports plus be able to understand how my glucose is doing.  So that is why I gave a 5 rating.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-01-29*

I love this app. Simple to use, reliable, and a must have for recording blood sugar levels. The app lets you print out or electronically send the results to your doctor.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2013-12-02*

Does the job perfectly. Good reports which can be printed or emailed. Easy to use and all one needs. Some duplication of iCloud entries but they don't effect average readings. Very happy with this App.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2013-11-29, version 2.0*

Records the info I want (i.e. blood glucose, time, date and notes) without all the extraneous stuff (weight, water, carbs) I don't and plots it in a nice clear, uncluttered way. The data syncs effortlessly across my devices - nice! Looks good on iPad and iPhone and does the job with no fuss. 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Great

*2013-02-20*

Great app, simple, straight forward, does what they say it will do, updates on my iPhone and iPad.

### 5/5 — A W E S O M E

*2012-11-30, version 1.3.2*

Great app, simple and clean interface literally no learning curve.  What suprised me too, was when I enter readings on my iPhone they appear on my iPad too.

VERY impressed witht his app.

### 5/5 — Finally, a superior blood glucose tracker

*2012-11-13*

I have used log books for years. This e logbook is what i have been wishing for: a record of readings, time of sample, and most of all a sense of status of over-all recordings. I can look at the numbers and times that are listed, but more to the point, I can look at the graph and see how my glucose levels follow (or don't follow) a pattern. There is a place to make a note if I need to document a reading, or if I want to experiment with my reaction to a food or exercise or event in my life. Then, if my doctor wishes, I can email her both the list and the graph so that she has instant overview also. This is a superior product, and I can recommend it without reservation.

### 5/5 — A very useful app

*2012-10-20*

I have Type 2 diabetes and have recently been taking control of my diabetes which I was sadly ignoring.  This app has been instrumental in gaining control.  My doctors, nutritionists, and diabetes educator all rave about this app since I showed them, and some have even started using it to show other patients.  My doctor especially likes the report and graphs the app generates as it allows him to easily see my progress and make adjustments to insulin without the tedium of going through my glucometer one by one.  While the app is not perfect...such as being able to add a horizontal goal line across the screen to see how close your numbers are to goal, or being to generate a report or graph with a custom date range....granted these are small things.  I look forward to more updates and keep up the great work...this really is a fantastic app.

### 5/5 — Crash

*2012-10-12*

It has not worked with ios6 yet. i updated last night still does not work. It just opens then closes. HELP

### 5/5 — Great

*2012-09-16*

By using this app, I can take my output to my next doctors appt. it will show him I am not diabetic....anymore that is. Thanks.
