## Review summary

User reviews show the app is easy to use and good for logging glucose and food data, with helpful background reporting. However, ongoing issues center on syncing and device compatibility after updates, including meters and CGMs failing to pair or sync, graphs not updating, and slow data retrieval. Some updates also cause data loss (custom foods/meds) and restrict editing. Persistent permission prompts and location tracking concerns further degrade the experience. Overall, the app is valued for data entry and verification but reliability and data integrity post-update are major drawbacks.

### Pros

- Easy to use and navigate with clear data presentation.
- Good for logging food and glucose; information is easy to find and understand.
- Can sync with CGMs and insulin pumps; data can be viewed by a consultant.
- Helps keep diabetes data up to date and serves as a quick verification of readings.

### Cons

- Syncing stops working after updates; many users report delays or no data syncing at all.
- Device compatibility problems; can't pair with some meters (e.g., Trividia TRUE METRIX AIR) and Omnipod integrations.
- Graphs and readings fail to update; information not displayed even when connected.
- Data loss after updates (custom foods, medications) and limitations editing past data (year, old readings).
- Persistent permission prompts and location tracking requests interfere with use.
