New target update is a scam !!
The 100 mg/dL Target is a Complete Ghost Number
The recent algorithm update for the Omnipod 5 introduces a new 100 mg/dL target glucose option, marketed as a way to achieve tighter control. In practice, however, this setting functions as a complete ghost number and a scam of a feature.
Despite running fully updated software on the correct R1-compatible pods, with "correct above 100" configured and the target explicitly locked at 100 mg/dL, the automated system behaves as though a rigid emergency threshold remains enforced around 110 mg/dL. During real-world use, when blood glucose sits at 117 mg/dL—well above the designated 100 mg/dL target—the SmartAdjust algorithm completely suspends insulin delivery. Instead of providing the necessary micro-dosing to steer the numbers downward, it cuts off all insulin, causing glucose to bounce right back up.
If an automated insulin delivery system cuts off all insulin at 117 mg/dL while a 100 mg/dL target is active, the setting is a placebo. It forces an artificial ceiling that contradicts the user's input, resulting in an endless loop of premature suspensions, flat-lining, and subsequent rebounds. For experienced users looking for genuine glycemic control, this system is a piece of junk. I am sticking with the Tandem Mobi.

Quality
The quality of this product has dropped over the years. I’m very disappointed.
Shady - lies in their release notes
In the 3 years I’ve been using Omnipod I’ve got them in multiple lies, such as stating in their release notes that changes would be undetectable in the UI - but the fix is for a glitch in the UI. And then the glitch was back about a week later. A shady company that needs to be investigated. They make too much money to take advantage of people paying hundreds/month to use their poorly functioning product.

Glitchy
This app is so glitchy. Notifications are delayed. The app keeps also minimizing the screen so I can’t see the BG Graph or the amount of insulin to bolus unless i exit out of the app completely and go back in.
