### 1/5 — New target update is a scam !!

*2026-08-19, version 2.2.1*

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.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-08-17, version 2.2.1*

It needs to be deleted and reinstalled I need help idk how to delete it and reinstall it please help

### 3/5 — Quality

*2026-08-16, version 2.2.1*

The quality of this product has dropped over the years. I’m very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Shady - lies in their release notes

*2026-08-11, version 2.2.1*

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.

### 2/5 — Glitchy

*2026-08-11, version 2.2.1*

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.

### 2/5 — Difficult to upgrade phone

*2026-08-11, version 2.2.1*

I recently upgraded my phone expecting the Omnipod basal and bolos settings to be transferred with the rest of the phone data, but it was not. This makes it dangerous and can be life threatening if those values are not saved elsewhere. This should be a simple software update Omnipod developers should implement.

The app is also very difficult to use while driving. If my blood sugar is high and I need a bolus, it requires a Face ID to load the app, even though the phone is unlocked. Then getting a bolus set, added and delivered is a multistep process that distracts from the driving responsibilities. The UX needs improvement here.

### 1/5 — Can’t even gain access

*2026-08-06, version 2.2.1*

For some reason it won’t recognize my ID but when I try to create a new account it tells me I already have an account and an ID and it proceeds to tell me the ID I’m already trying

### 4/5 — G7 issue

*2026-08-04, version 2.2.1*

It works great when you put the G7 Dexcom sensor on your stomach, but if you move it to your arm, this app has problems looking for the sensor. Why?

### 2/5 — Sensor

*2026-08-03, version 2.2.1*

It need to work with libre freestyle 2 plus as well, please add to sensor list

### 4/5 — Add back button on extend bolus

*2026-07-30, version 2.2.1*

Please add a back button when you enter the extended bolus menu, hitting cancel takes you out of the bolus completely.
