### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-06-25*

I tried many times to use the “initial setup” simulation, but cannot get past the terms and conditions because it will not scroll. It was also disappointing that you can’t actually do anything (enter carb ratios or basal rates) other than switch from automated to manual mode. Makes me not want to consider switching if the simulation app technology is so awful.

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2026-04-10, version 3.5.2*

This is very helpful for people that are new to the omnipod or looking to get one

### 5/5 — Pls

*2026-03-16*

Can u guys make it to where when u change the pod there will be a warm up after you’re done
Changing it pls pls

### 1/5 — Awful simulator app

*2026-03-11*

How will I ever get a patient to start Omnipod 5 when they can’t even get hands on experience? The bolus button falls off at the bottom of the screen and shows barely a sliver of purple. They can’t even type in the amount of carbs they eat. Bring back the old app. It worked perfectly. This new app does not build confidence in the patients who are eager to try an insulin pump but want to know that they can handle the technology part. And it does not build confidence in your brand. If the app doesn’t work for me, they will never trust the technology of the actual OP5 pump.

### 1/5 — Can’t review Omnipod5

*2026-03-01, version 3.5.0*

I’ve got an Omnipod 5 and having to carry another controller around is a real pain. Insulet please release Omnipod 5 app for Australia. Thanks.

### 4/5 — Needs Font Settings

*2026-03-01*

I have poor sight, so my iPhone font size is almost at the maximum level.

The app uses this font setting, so I was unable to use the app, many of the buttons were obscured (“Confirm” on carb intake being an example, I could only see “Cancel”).

I’m just happy that I will be getting a separate device and it’s not the app that’s used as-standard.

An internal font override would be a huge bonus, absolutely necessary for me, if the app ever becomes mainstream in the UK 😊👍🏻.

### 1/5 — Broken simulator

*2026-01-22*

2026- This simulator simply doesn’t work on a new iPhone. As a diabetes educator I’d love a functional tool to show the patients what the app is like. Also if I’m walking a patient through a change of settings over zoom or a phone call I need to know what menus have the settings we are looking for.

### 3/5 — When

*2025-11-22*

This is great,  but when will it become available to actually use on iPhone in uk?

### 2/5 — When will real app be available??

*2025-08-17*

I really would like to be able to use this App for real, as is possible in other countries and is the case with other brands of insulin pump. 
It is such a pain having to carry the Omnipod Manager device as well as my mobile phone everywhere I  go.

### 2/5 — So confusing

*2025-06-04*

So I’m 12 and I have type 1 so like most people who would test out some thing before they got it which this Friday I get the Omni pod 5 so I tested it and I was just confused because like why was I just dropped in no like hey this is how you use it and just remember this is how you stop the insulin but it was like boom here try it and you have to Learn because we don’t care and bye like at least say like I said early er (and also I am not that good with my grammar by the way like when I was spelling grammar I almost put grammer)
So if you wanna try it just dont not being rude or anything like I’m just trying to be honest.
