### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-07-25, version 1.40*

Have to pay subscription for fun characters. 😔 CGM numbers were hours behind and I couldn’t find out how to fix it. Happy bob was mean. 😭 He told me I’m bad at taking care of my diabetes when I was high. 💔.
⭐️🫥🫥🫥🫥. 1 star. 
Worked for some people and I just wanted a fun way to deal with T1D.🫩 Disappointed.Would not recommend. 😓

### 4/5 — 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

*2026-07-17, version 1.39*

It’s a really good app I’m 12 and use it you can join groups and stuff it’s really fun the only thing is that after a while it gets really boring

### 5/5 — Happy Bob makes diabetes less lonely

*2026-06-23, version 1.38*

The notifications that come up can really direct me in a way that the Dexcom app does not. Some of the scenes can be a little corny, but on the whole this has been a very useful part of my diabetes. I’m rather merciless with subscriptions as considered not renewing it, but it’s crucial when I started thinking about it and how I interact with it and how it interacts with me.

*2026-04-04, version 1.38*

I did not do paid version for a month and just plowed along just like any other day. Three weeks ago I thought “what the hey I’ll give it a try. I found myself checking Happy Bob several times a day and that I would never check and I have been in range for two weeks now. Want to get my money’s worth after all! It’s fun, helpful, and an A1C that is on track for 5.8 from 10.8!
