Ratings and reviews

Great app... but... There are issues. I had to create a new account because my data would not load properly. One thing this app needs is a way to delete your data without deleting your account. I created a new account with a new email and boom resynced my meter and everything was back as it was (sorta). Lost 2 stars over this episode. TBH I'm hedging about continuing on with Glooko. Seriously considering mysugr, we'll see.

the app is a massive battery hog. since installing it, my battery life is half of what it used to be, and background usage is required for the meter sync to function. the app prevents the phone from going to sleep. I used to go all day and use less than 40% battery, now I'm using 60-80% every day. if this app wasn't required to sync my meter, I'd uninstall it.

Paired easily with my phone. Love that I can set reminders for lots of things. Love that it helps keep track of foods. My previous foods seem to glitch and flicker, making it hard to select an item I already have entered previously. I also don't understand the carb and calorie section. Is it a countdown of my intake, or is it adding from the start of my entries for the day? It never seems to match either, so I'm not sure of my carb, calorie intake per day. Otherwise, it's a very useful app!
