## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Gestational Diabetes is hard enough

*2025-07-13*

This app is not user friendly. A shame that any medical professional would encourage their patient to have it! Inputting data via Bluetooth or manually is very frustrating and time consuming. 
If geared specifically towards pregnancy/ GD, tabs or links for recommended meal plans, fitness, family friendly recipes, tracking appointments, prenatal personal care, & postpartum would be great additions. 
App needs better development before being forced into circulation. Will not be using.

### 1/5 — No way to load a reading

*2025-05-20*

I can’t access the main part of the app- loading a glucose reading. My health measures screen is completely blank with no options

### 1/5 — Sign in issue

*2025-01-02*

Hi I can’t get it how to sign in this app. No option for sign up or anything like that. If anyone could help would be really helpful.
Thanks

### 1/5 — Login issues

*2024-10-11*

Still seems to be having the same issue as another review from 5 years ago. Opens to login page but login details I was sent don’t work. Extremely frustrating and time wasting for pregnant mothers who are already extremely time poor and rarely get time to use their phones without a toddler trying to rip it from their hands. What a waste of time.

### 1/5 — No option to reset password

*2021-03-25*

Such a basic security feature yet is glaringly missing from this app. Doesn’t really induce confidence that I have control over my own account if I can’t reset my password at any time. As other reviews have mentioned there’s no “forgot password” option either.

### 1/5 — How do I use it?

*2019-10-09*

Sooo, I thought it was going to be a good app. Opens to a login page that you can’t log into. Useless.

### 2/5 — Tedious

*2021-09-02*

Apparently my glucose levels aren’t properly being uploaded to Mater’s system if I’ve been submitting them all at once at the end of the day, which makes this app more tedious than writing them out on a piece of paper. To the coders, I’d separate glucose submission levels by context and meal context instead of time.

### 3/5 — Constantly closes mid entry

*2024-11-10*

It’s good for recording progress but constantly closes mid entry or if open waiting to put entry in. Then have to reopen app to enter recording. Slightly frustrating when your mid checking levels or doing insulin shot.

### 3/5 — Keeps sending repeats

*2023-11-24*

It was working really well transferring all my data so I didn’t have to manually input it but now it keeps sending repeats of the same reading every time new data transfers and it won’t let me delete the duplicates.

### 4/5 — Needs work

*2021-02-26*

4 stars for convenience, 1 star off for the hiccups in getting started with the app. 

I think it would also befit the users if the BGL levels that are over what they should be become highlighted in the Health measures list. Or if the user is given the option to highlight BGL levels they feel they may be concerning.

I say this because when you look it as a whole after inputting your darter, it just all blends in.

### 5/5 — Awesome

Great way to track my health!
