There seems to be no option to edit diary entries. Difficult to find and analyze patterns between the blood sugar or ketone levels, food eaten and type of exercises. No coaching or evaluation questions, no recommendations ### 2/5 — It Does What I Need, But Needs a LOT of Work *2021-12-06* I’m not diabetic, but am very interested in optimal health. The meter works great as a stand-alone device, but of course it’s great to see the results displayed and analyzed. So after using the monitor for a couple months, I finally downloaded the app. Connecting to my phone was VERY quirky. The instructions with the monitor were completely wrong. After 20 minutes of frustration, I found the in-app video showing the correct method, and finally got the monitor to connect to my phone. I like the data display and total average glucose calculations for set periods. My current frustration is that I never keep Bluetooth on. I turn it on to connect to devices only when needed, then turn it back off (and so should you 😊). If I just want to look at my data in the app, I either need to turn on Bluetooth or a window pops up every 5 seconds telling me I need to turn on Bluetooth. There’s no need for device connection when simply looking at my in-app data! I realize that turning on Bluetooth is no big deal, but seriously, why have this “feature”. Seems like the developers should take a look at the reviews and star rating here and seriously consider whether they should provide an app. If you’re going to do it, do it maybe just slightly better than completely half-baked. ### 1/5 — Keine Funktion *2021-08-28* Die App erkennt das Gerät , weiter passiert nix ### 1/5 — Leider nur eine Schnüffel-App um Userdaten zu sammeln *2021-08-06* Die App dient wohl nur dem Anbieter, um vertrauliche Benutzerdaten zu sammeln 👎🏼 ### 1/5 — Kaum eine Taste in der App reagiert *2021-07-04* Unter Einstellungen kann z. B. das Gerät nicht abgespeichert werden, welches man hinzugefügt hat. Also zur Zeit unbrauchbar. ### 2/5 — Needs connectivity help *2021-01-23, version 1.6.7* I like the app and the ability to store and analyze my data, but the connectivity through Bluetooth is pathetic! I constantly have issues importing data to my phone and it’s only a few simple values - please address this issue!! ### 1/5 — Never able to sync app *2020-07-07, version 1.6.3* I downloaded the app and it never gets past the save and exit yes or no screen. Ridiculous. ### 2/5 — Meter ok, software needs serious work by professionals *2020-02-23, version 1.5.7* I have had the Connect 6 for ~2 yrs and it has always seemed Fora won’t take the time to make a reliable app, with useful information that is easily accessible. It used to have colored graphs, the touch interface still pops out but nothing happens-it has always seemed like the guy writing the code is winging it. Very disappointed in the programmers. With the keto craze you would figure they would dedicate some cash to app refinement and make it the best app out there... meter is reliable, app still needs a lot of work! ### 1/5 — Import Errors *2020-01-04, version 1.5.6* Bought this meter and it used to allow to download glucose readings and ketone readings but all of the sudden it will no longer download ketone reading! Bought the wrong one I guess. ### 1/5 — Needs Work *2019-11-16, version 1.5.2* Doesn’t appear to have away to delete bad readings. ie. not enough blood causes invalid meter read. Meter shows 0.7 import data show 0.8 what is that about? ### 1/5 — Datenschutz? *2019-11-14* Diese App verlangt die Zustimmung zu den Datenschutz Richtlinien des Anbieters. Hierbei wird die Erlaubnis eingeholt, medizinische Daten auf den Server des Anbieters zu laden. U. a. Blutzuckerwerte, etc. Diese sollen dann beliebig ausgewertet werden können. Dazu besteht fachlich überhaupt kein Grund. Blutzuckerwerte können im Healthkit hinterlegt und lokal auf dem iPhone gespeichert werden. Die Übertragung von medizinischen Daten ist inakzeptabel und ein Grund, die App nicht zu nutzen. ### 1/5 — Crashes following last update *2019-11-01* Used to work fine, but now it crashes after being open for a few seconds. ### 2/5 — Crashing now *2019-11-01* The app worked ok until recently, now it crashes a few seconds after opening, it is pretty much useless now. Tried reinstalling several times, no luck. Please fix this! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Apple Health Sync *2025-08-06* Ich nutze iFORA HM Version 2.1.2 auf dem iPhone 15 Pro, Blutzucker wird sauber in Apple Health synchronisiert, z.B. Ketone und andere gemessenen Werte erscheinen jedoch nicht. Man kann auch nur die Berechtigung für die Blutzuckerwerte vergeben. Beworben wird aber das alle Werte in Apple Health synchronisiert werden. Daher nur 1 Stern ! Bitte die Funktion nachholen sonst ist das Gerät samt App unbrauchbar, da ich es genau zu diesem Zweck gekauft habe! I’m using iFORA HM version 2.1.2 on an iPhone 15 Pro. Blood glucose is properly synced to Apple Health, but ketones and other measured values do not appear. You can only grant permission for blood glucose data. However, the app is advertised as syncing all values to Apple Health. That's why I'm giving only 1 star. Please add this functionality otherwise the device and app are useless for me, as I bought them specifically for this purpose! ### 1/5 — Es werden nicht alle Daten in AppleHealth importiert *2025-08-06* Ich nutze iFORA HM Version 2.1.2 auf dem iPhone 15 Pro, Blutzucker wird sauber in Apple Health synchronisiert, z.B. Ketone und andere gemessenen Werte erscheinen jedoch nicht. Man kann auch nur die Berechtigung für die Blutzuckerwerte vergeben.

Instead, a new popup is generated as soon as the old one is closed. I get it, thank you, I’ve used it before. I just want to look at my values without additional EMF and battery drain. ### 1/5 — No HB value visible *2022-11-14* Since the last update the HB value has disappeared from the main table page. Can't use it anymore 😭 ### 1/5 — Account anlegen funktioniert nicht *2022-06-17* Mehrfach besucht den Account anzulegen mit unterschiedlich Benutzernamen und Passwörtern (entsprechend Vorgabe natürlich). Jedesmal sind ein Haufen Sachen einzugeben, zum Schluss kommt eine unklare Fehlermeldung dass etwas mit benutzernamen/Passwort nicht stimmt ### 1/5 — Schrott *2021-11-20* Das Gerät wird nicht erkannt , demnach nicht mehr nutzbar ... ### 1/5 — Poor connection *2021-11-18* It won’t sink with Bluetooth to phone. When ask you to save and go back it locks up and does nothing you can hit yes no or cancel and it does nothing. If I download the one for management of diabetes it hooks and sinks fine. Software issue please fix as I like to track trends. ### 1/5 — Nicht ohne Zustimmung nutzbar, Datenschutz grausam *2021-10-12* Dieses Programm ist nicht ohne eine Zustimmung zu abstrusen Punkten der sogenannten Datenschutzbestimmungen zu nutzen. Diesen Nicht-Datenschutz würde ich jedoch niemals zustimmen. Es werden hier besonders schützenswerte Daten verarbeitet als wären es „einfache“ Nutzungsdaten. Bitte ein Programm zur reinen lokalen Speicherung bereitstellen - oder eine Option innerhalb diesen Programmes. So ist das unbrauchbar. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Verstehe die Kritik nicht- macht was es soll! *2023-09-29* Die App macht was sie soll. Ich habe keinerlei Probleme! ### 5/5 — Fora 6 Connect *2023-01-18, version 1.8.2* Fora 6 Connect checks Blood Glucose and Ketones. When I first got it I could not get meter to connect to my iPhone 11. Tried everything, contacted support and working with their team they released an App update within a day. Quite impressive and all is working now. Thanks ### 5/5 — My meter has worked flawlessly for over a year *2020-02-28* With so many bad reviews I just felt that I should share my last year with the meter. First, I have an iPhone and from day one, it has worked flawlessly with both Ketones and Glucose. Second, I love how it gives you immediate access to your data. Third, the lancer that came with my meter is superior to the one I got from my Doctor prescription. Honestly, having used both my glucose only meter with inferior features, like I can’t upload my data or can’t test for Ketones makes me wonder why it isn’t the prescribed meter for the Mayo. Anyway, the meter I got, using my iPhone has worked exactly like the app write up claims. ### 5/5 — Great app, Device & service *2019-08-09, version 1.4.9* I am a Registered Nurse of 25 years, as well as a diabetes educator and for me personally, this app and device have been great! I am having no problem whatsoever with it syncing to my phone. The device works perfectly. The customer support has been magnificent. I must’ve gotten six update emails to track it in transit here and before I purchased it I called their 800 number and spoke with a very sweet and knowledgeable lady named Jessica. She answered all my questions and gave me the confidence to order from a company with few reviews (that I found). Jessica also directed me to Dr. Boz... WOW! If you haven’t seen her YouTube videos... do it! Great info on Keto and easy for anyone to follow. I have not been disappointed! Very very pleased with the iFora 6 connect. I’m curious about the measurement of hematocrit and hemoglobin, though. Are those special strips? Or is that a feature coming later? ### 4/5 — Macht was sie soll verbesserbar *2023-12-19* Macht soweit alles problemlos was sie soll. Würde mich freuen über min 2 weitere Kriterien zur Auswertungsfilterung wie Nüchternzucker oder vor dem schlafen. ### 4/5 — No Display Settings option *2021-03-29* App is fine, but I do not have the Display Settings option that would allow me to set the Dr. Biz ratio. Another family member has the same app and same version and hers does have the Display Settings option. What’s up with that? ### 4/5 — Was a great app until the latest update...now useless *2019-10-29* I loved this app. I have a whole years data that I can’t access. I’m am unable to use the app at all. Every time I open the app it crashes and closes without any error notice. It’s pretty useless now. Please fix this! ### 4/5 — Works great *2019-06-03* I have had my Fora 6 and this app for about 6 months and it works great. No problems with Bluetooth and the app syncs with Apple Health app just fine. Its not a fancy app but it works and the ability to add notes is helpful. ### 3/5 — Meter is Good, App Lacks an Important Function *2024-12-23, version 2.0.5* The meter itself functions very well, and syncing is easy. I recommend it. However, the apps fairly-intuitive editing function to add info on readings lacks one very simple feature: while you can add notes, there’s no way to see where you’ve added notes. To view a note, or even if to see if you’ve added one, you need to open *every entry*. There’s nothing to indicate you’ve added a note anywhere; no icon, no dot, no boldface - nothing. This is true even in the useless and essentially hidden “Diary” section, which provides no additional information to the main screen. That’s poor UI design for something so basic. ### 3/5 — GKI not nearly as useful since version 1.7.3 *2022-03-12* Very nice app, but was better before the GKI went to whole numbers only! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
