Fabulous, but needs clearer instructions

1. This is a fantastic app for calculating IOB and is ideal for split doses - pizza tonight anyone? šŸ˜€
2. I particularly like the visual display.
3. Interface was not obvious to me (and few instructions) so it took a while to play around. Almost gave this 4*, but app is so, so useful (and cheap at 99p)!
4. Not for newly diagnosed a experience of insulin required. The app does not educate and there are warnings to get medical advice if necessary.

Not great, but the only game in town.

This app does exactly what I wanted it to do, which is show me how much insulin from my last dose is still on board.

Can you delete a dose?
No.

Can you put in a dose late for a previous time?
No.

Does it regularly erase doses for no apparent reason?
Yes. Daily.

Is it literally the only app that gives MDI diabetics the basic metric that every pump user has?
Yep. Guess I can’t complain too much.

How do you delete a dose?

The app is a bit tricky to get used to. By mistake, my basal was recorded as bolus. For the life of me, I can’t figure out how to delete that dose. I’ve read the whole manual… but don’t see this info. Any help would be appreciated!

Keeps deleting data

i like this app for calculating IOB since i’m not on a pump, but it will occasionally lose my data that i have entered. why does it do that? can you fix it?

Mostly a great app with some glitches.

What a fantastic app to be used with managing insulin in board. This app is critical in supporting a diabetic’s management of fast acting insulin injections. With responsible use of the app it will help prevent crashes from insulin stacking! Better than writing notes! Way better. Although, I have noticed one significant glitch. This issues will occur randomly. After user input has been made, at times the inputs will simply vanish and al records of the most recent insulin on board will go blank! Unless you can recall your last inject exactly you’re SOL. Be careful! Love the app. Wish there were other apps available like this or if the developer would perform a fix.

I can’t figure out

I’m usually pretty good at these things. Spent an hour and was able to get one entry put in but it was wrong and cannot figure out how to delete or correct it not worth my $.99.

Good in theory but…poor execution

Having switched from my pump back to MDI was very excited to find this app
It is important to know the IOB so as not to stack correction doses and go low
But
You cannot undo anything!
I was about to give a dose so entered it as my short term insulin
But realized I left my needles at home
So wanted to cancel, but couldn’t
I played around to figure this out and ended up doubling the entered amount!
Then today I wanted to retroactively enter yesterday’s dose of Lantus
But once entered, cannot change the dosage time

So yes
The IOB calculation is correct but ultimately useless if you make any mistake

Great Idea But Not Blind Friendly

I really like the idea for this app. Unfortunately, it seems like it is not accessible with voiceover. I can swipe through and add my preferences like long lasting and short acting insulin types. but couldn’t get to any buttons that allowed me to log in my doses. Hopefully the developer can fix this and the app can be useful for the blind in the future.

Great App

Thank you so much. Great app. Since I am not on an insulin pump I just wanted an easy way to keep track of iob. This app is perfect.
Thank you!!!!

Essential

Thanks for writing this app to track IOB. My insurance stopped paying for the InPen, so I’m going back to old school MDI. This app helps reduce some cognitive burden related to managing diabetes. I could not get the calendar integration to work however. Hoping the developer might offer some guidance here. Using an iPhone 13 pro with the latest iOS 15.3. No Insulin calendar was created and when I manually create that insulin calendar no entries are stored?

Great offline app

Great. Once you worked out how to enter etc it’s actually really good.

Should serve me well with the update.

I needed a larger dose option and it has already been added. Thank you for listening and updating the app so quickly.

Response from developer

Hi, that’s a reasonable request: hope you like the update and it works for you.
