### 1/5 — Not working

*2023-08-11*

I downloaded the app but clicking the “get started” button just gets me an error message. Deleting and redownloading does nothing

### 4/5 — I like this app,but can make little change

*2022-02-13, version 3.48.2*

love this app i made friends and gained knowledge as a t1d,but it be cool make changes so we can delete our chat history

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for your kind feedback. We are glad you have been able to connect with people and join our diabetes community. We strive to listen to our community and to keep improving!

### 5/5 — Great

*2022-01-14, version 3.48.2*

This app came at such an important time in my life when I felt alone and couldn’t find anyone who would understand what I was dealing with, but this app has introduced me to a community of diabetics who I can relate too and vent too when needed. So happy I came across this app.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for your kind feedback. We're so glad that you've joined our community and have connected with people who understand what you are dealing with. Your are not alone. Together we're stronger!

### 5/5 — TDA is a must have!!

*2022-01-14, version 3.48.2*

I absolutely love how this app is used to connect people from all over the world who are all so different but have one thing in common - diabetes. Being a diabetic can feel lonely at times, even if you have great friends/family. But there’s nothing quite like connecting with people who can directly relate. You need this app! Download it! 💙

**Developer response:** Hi Jenn! Thank you for your kind feedback. We are glad you have been able to make meaningful connections with members in the diabetes community! Together we're stronger!

### 4/5 — Cauliflower stirfry with Melissa

*2021-12-09, version 3.48.2*

Melissa always makes things look so easy!  She is concise and to the point.  I will definitely try this as soon as I receive the recipe.

**Developer response:** Hi Sheila! Thank you for your feedback. We agree with you and hope you enjoy the recipe. If you are looking for more recipes, you can find them in the resource section of the app.

### 1/5 — Grifters taking Advantage of Diabetics

*2021-10-11, version 3.43.2*

Need I say more? We’ve had enough.

### 1/5 — Trash app

*2021-10-03, version 3.43.2*

This app is trying to sell you upcharged diabetes products. Don’t bother.

### 1/5 — Bare Bones App, Questionable Business Practices

*2021-10-02, version 3.43.2*

The app itself is not impressive at all. Lots of issues with bots joining and trying to message you for “dating”—this is not a dating app, is supposed to be a diabetes community app. The Diabetes App (TDA) said that they released a fix for it by requiring users to verify their accounts by confirming via a link sent to our emails, but it doesn’t seem to have helped. You can’t delete private message convos at all, so every spammer who messages you will stay in your inbox forever. 

Not to mention the app is so bare bones it’s almost useless. It’s just one gigantic feed of everyone on the app, and you can only filter for a 5 groups—all types, type 1, type 2, type 1 adults, and type 1 kids. You can’t search for common interests or even find new friends local to you—you just have to post a message and hope that someone in your area is looking at the app around the same time.

TDA also doesn’t seem to want to pay diabetic creators for their content, and just rips them off instead while also contacting these creators asking them to pay to advertise on the app. Instead of apologizing, they tried to gaslit the creator who called them out and also announced their intent to IPO in the same semi/non-apology. They plan to make money by creating a pharmacy within their app and also by having ads, but they seem to have no plans to make the app a good experience for users.

### 1/5 — Stealing Miss Diabetes Art Ideas

*2021-10-01, version 3.43.2*

The app developers have stolen multiple ideas from Miss Diabetes (a T1D artist) because she didn’t want to have her artwork on their app. They then offered for HER to pay them to advertise. Unreal. Unfortunately, it seems like this app has fallen into the moral ambiguity of every other service offered to diabetics. We are viewed as cash cows and that’s about it.

### 5/5 — The best app ever

*2021-08-16, version 3.41.4*

In my opinion this is the best app ever! I’ve made so many new friends off of it and I’ve been able to help some people to and I’ve gotten help from a lot of these amazing people too! But one thing that is a little annoying and you guys can’t do anything about is the amount of men who just friend you and then start messing you really weird stuff. A lot of them you guys have blocked off the app but other than that I absolutely love this app! Thank you so so much for it!!!!!!’

**Developer response:** Thank you for this kind review, we appreciate it! We have recently implemented a security measure that will alleviate the amount of spam bots on the application. Hopefully this helps this issue for you! Please feel free to reach out to us via our social medias @thediabetesapp or info@thediabetesapp.com if you have any other troubles or report accounts.
