Cannot set alarms with at least the new 3.0.2 version

Come on, you completely broke the « perspective » (statistics) page in french with the last version (still messed up in the version 3.0.2) and now with version 3.0.2, the app cannot keep track of the low glycemic treshold entered in the alarm page (always revert to 20 mmol as a default low glycemic treshold !!!!!!!)

Losing a star with every new upgrade. This app was perfect before input from the Tandem company.

Please go back to the version before 3.0 and before Tandem took control.

Update: With the latest 2 updates I found back the great sugarmate app it used to be 2 or 3 years ago before version 3. Thanks and please don’t mess up with the app again trying to improve something already great.

Thank you very much for your review! We’re so glad Sugarmate has been helpful for you, and you are enjoying our newest updates.

I like it...but

I like this app a lot, the only issue I have is the connectivity of it, sometimes it will say haven't receive any new data for an hour, and my cgm app still tracking. And also I wish there was a widget for it other then that it is really informative

Exactly what I have wanted forever o

Combining My Fitness Pal data with Tandem data is perfect. Tracking sodium would be helpful too. 5 stars.

Not getting data from Tandem sources

(Updated)
Contacted the customer service and they solved the issue quickly. Very helpful.

Working fine initially for a month but could not get any data from Tandem source since yesterday although the Tandem App is open and functioning.

Missing data from tandem mobi

As a parent, I would like to see how much insulin is on board and when the last bolus was given. My kids app has more information on it that would be helpful for a parent who is monitoring while our kid is at school.

Needs to show bolus and IOB

This app would be amazing if it showed when our kid bolused (plus insulin amount) and IOB. I don’t need the ability to administer remotely but it would be so reassuring when she’s away from us to see the actions being taken!

App is great

I really like the app; however, I wish you could still get the glucose readings back on Alexa. I really miss that feature and used it daily.
The app was down today (5/20)& I had to uninstall/reinstall. It's working fine now.

Great app

This app allows me to view cgm data differently than the Dexcom G7 app/reports. Great for analyzing the data. The support staff are very helpful when I have questions. Highly recommend

Since my iOS updated several weeks ago, my Sugarmate app crashes continuously.

5/10/26 Many foods I try to enter crash the app and do not get saved. I have given up on using Sugarmate for anything but a quick look at the carbs in foods so I can save it in my Dexcom app. I had really loved using Sugarmate but constant glitches are too frustrating. When I reached out for help, I was asked to share a video of my experience. I am not tech savvy so this request was beyond what I could provide. I used to tell everyone I knew to use Sugarmate as there are so many features. Unfortunately, it keeps breaking so I am done. 😭
12/6/24 I am updating my review based on the new version. I thought the earlier version was perfect and now I just want it back! I use Apple iOS. This new version is so jumbled that there is even writing overwritten into other writing so it is hard to read. I am now limited to scrolling through my day’s Insulin and food intake at the bottom of the page so it is difficult to see my information. I believe I lost my favorite foods that I had saved. When I search for a food, I cannot read the details or see the photos that are handy. Is there a way I can use the older version? It is really hard to accept these changes that now make Sugarmate nearly impossible to use with any efficiency.

Older comments:
I have been so happy with Sugarmate as it offers me so many ways to document my information. From carbs to my medications, I can monitor so much in one spot and can make notes, too. Today, I have noticed that the app thinks it is Sunday, Dec. 26, 2001. Why is the date off? I reloaded the app but it still has the wrong date. I cannot find anywhere to fix it and my Dexcom app has the current date. Am I the only one?

Love this! But I definitely don’t use all the features to my full advantage!

I was very skeptical about using a third party app, when the original app for the dexcom worked great (I still use the g6 as of writing this on 5/6/26) but over the years I have heard nothing but wonders about Sugarmate that I decided to give it a try! And I am so glad I did!

A Shell of what it used to be

I used to use this app extensively. It was a wonderfully developed app that took full advantage of what iOS had to offer. From shortcuts to Siri commands and easy data entry. After the redesign when purchased by Tandem it went down hill. They took away everything that makes the app good. No more shortcuts. The interface is harder to use and good bye Siri features.

It literally takes me 5-10 minutes to enter my data now vs before I could do in seconds. So I stopped using the app because it was so cumbersome.

If you just want a general log, this would be fine, but I can do the same thing using shortcuts and Apple Health faster and easier without some mega corporations having access to my data. After all that is the only reason why Tandem bought this app from the developer.

Disservice of time

I never write reviews if o don’t have anything nice to say. However, I have tried reaching support and it’s been a waste of time as much as trying to log into the app. I have done the deep IT into logging into the Dexcom on the browser without any issue and have the correct username and password and sugarmate continues with please trying again later something went wrong. You call tandem and they only support pump related issues. It’s devastating that everything that sugar mate promises can’t be accessed and can save life’s and also calm the deep back end of worries for our loved ones having to be monitored 24/7. I think the most upsetting is the waste, without any positive outcome.

Sugarmate no longer working!

Sugarmate no longer works as of today. Stopped syncing. I tried logging out, uninstalling the app and reinstalling. Now I can’t log in. Country of Residence list is blank.

Can’t get past country of residence

This app hasn’t worked. Frustrating.

Would be fabulous if any of it worked

I’ve been trying to use it for months, and no matter the updates, it won’t allow me to add in food, freezing or fully crashing, it only slightly works better for logging insulin, and it’s cut out at random without any changes from me three times, just ‘signal lost’ on a CGM that is actively working. Tech support is trying, but with an app this shambolic, I can’t blame them for not being effective about it.

Die beste Diabetes App

Für mich die beste App in ihrem Bereich. Die Funktion auf iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch unschlagbar. Auch die Einbindung in den Kalender und Anzeige bei CarPlay. Leider wurde die Mac App eingestellt und nur noch die Webversion. Ich habe es geliebt am Mac über die Taskleiste meine Werte zu sehen. Dafür musste ich leider auf eine alternative zugreifen.

Will you be adding the libre?

Low sugar calls changed

I love the app and it has literally been a lifesaver but hate that it no longer will call two phone numbers with an urgent lows at night. Has definitely made nighttime harder for our house.
