Some critical problems
There are a few real problems with this app. It looks fine and has a lot of opportunity for data consolidation but iFORA seems to think that the only way to use this app effectively is to abandon all other apps/products and have this become the new center of your health data universe:
- there is no way to connect it to Apple Health
- there is no way to fix an incorrect entry (e.g. if two people are using a linked device, there’s no way to selectively import just one person’s data, and once it’s there you can’t delete your partner’s data — effectively ruining any analysis or trendlines)
So really all this app is good for is to store data from the measuring device (in our case, the Test ‘N Go Advance, for glucose and ketones) and then transfer it manually to the central point where we track health data.
The isolationist orientation of this app will kill it in the end — just let it integrate with Apple Health already! (Btw — other, single-function iFORA apps DO integrate with Apple health. It just seems that with this one they decided “We’re going to become the new center of the universe.” It won’t work.

Missing critical features
Missing showing the actual value on the graph line. It just shows high or low. Not how close you are to those cutoff values.
Doesn’t allow deleting readings.

No editing/deletion of bad readings
This would be a fine app if it weren’t for the fact that you can’t delete bad readings. For example, I took a glucose reading 2 hours after a meal, but I had it in fasting mode. So rather than 93, it recorded 107.
It’s unacceptable that bad data can’t be removed. I switched to a manual app for entering values, which also calculates GKI.
