### 1/5 — Crashes on opening

*2016-05-03, version 1.1.1*

Sounds promising but totally unusable as crashes every time on opening.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2024-05-26*

App just crashes. Can’t open it

### 1/5 — Used to be good, now unusable

*2023-12-06, version 1.3.7*

This app used to be my go to app for viewing my nightscout data, I tried to use it today after a few years away from nightscout and it’s essentially unusable. It crashes every time you load it after entering your url. Basic url, token url, it doesn’t matter, the app still instantly crashes.

Hopefully it’s a short term problem, but it feels like the app might have been abandoned

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all - no longer supported?

*2020-11-18, version 1.3.6*

So I’ve put in my Nightscout URL, but it can’t retrieve any data from it. It seems like this app is no longer supported.

It would be nice if the devs of apps like these put a disclaimer up when they’re no longer supporting them.

### 1/5 — Can’t access site

*2020-11-02, version 1.3.6*

Iphone ios 14 
Apple watch 5

### 1/5 — No bueno

*2020-09-07*

Like the others said- it doesn’t work. Try using “Nightscout” or “Nightguard.”

### 1/5 — Broken code

*2020-01-20*

This app is current broken and can not connect to Nightscout apps hosted on Heroku. I don’t have the ability for testing on other hosts.

**Developer response:** I've recently updated the application to accommodate the latest versions of nightscout. would love your feedback if your issues have been resolved. Thanks for your patience. This is something I do in my free time and I do this for free.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2019-08-27*

Doesn't connect please remove this app from the list

### 1/5 — Completely useless

*2019-08-21*

Does not connect to site. Ever. Don’t waste your time.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2018-07-29*

Doesn’t work.. won’t load ANY Nightscout. The following error pops up for half a second but then immediately disappears: “Cannot Reach Nightscout Site A connection to <Nightscout link> was not successful. Reason: The file could not be parsed correctly. Please check the URL and try again.” All attempted URLs are correct, none of them work.

### 1/5 — Crashes on Startup

*2016-05-09*

Love the idea and would love to use a reliable Apple Watch complication for my son's Nightscout data. Not sure if others experiencing, but tried uninstall and reinstall multiple times without relief.

**Developer response:** Sorry that you're having issues. Please check out https://www.facebook.com/nightscouter/ for some answers to common questions. you can also directly message me there. Hopefully, we can get this working for you.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2017-04-09*

I love the app and it gives me the info I need! Great job Peter!

### 5/5 — Great for monitoring 2 Type-1s!

*2016-10-04*

The design is great and the latest version is MUCH more reliable!
My wife and daughter are both T-1 and being able to see their BG in real time on my Apple Watch has been incredible. Thanks again to the Nightscouter team for all of the work!

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2016-09-17*

I love this app. The fact that I can see my BG on the lock screen is amazing. The watch face complication is awesome. I absolutely love it and recommend it to anyone who's using Nightscout. Thank you for great work.

### 5/5 — Great app for me and my family!

*2015-12-12*

This is a fantastic app for me to use, my family to review my BGs and even allows the option of viewing multiple Websites. Takes the function of the Share/Follow apps to a whole new level.

### 3/5 — More options please!

*2016-04-17, version 1.0.3*

Great to see two sets of nightscout for both my children on xdrip. Would like to have an option for low/high alarms as right now all it gives is a visual but at night I need an audio alarm to alert. Thx!

### 2/5 — App crashes, can’t open

*2022-10-07*

I have added my server to the app but every time I tap the icon it opens then closes the app. Force closing/re-installing and rebooting phone cannot stop the app from crashing. My Nightscout server is on version 14.2.6 (latest as of Oct 7, 2022). I like the UI in your screenshots but I cannot access the app sadly.

### 2/5 — Cant use it

*2018-06-22*

Keyboard in the way when adding Nightscout address and cant click next, cant lower keyboard. App has no use if you cant connect it.

### 2/5 — Regular crashes

*2017-01-18, version 1.3.1*

This app promises lots but cannot get the watch app to work at all. The phone app seems to fall over when uses heroku.

### 2/5 — Data isn't loading

*2015-12-13*

I'm having issues getting this app to load my nightscout data.everything is working perfectly on the nightscout website and the other nightscout app and the Url is entered correctly too... Any ideas?
