Ratings and reviews

switched to this app from the libre 3 app at the app's suggestion. I find this new app a bit more difficult to use because of the note function. On the previous app, it would let you record everything (quick insulin, long lasting insulin, exercise, food) in one note. however, this new app requires you to make a separate note for each entry. This is particularly annoying in the morning and in the evening when I eat a meal and take insulin(s) and have to make two or three entries instead of one.

My review does not concern the usefulness of the app. That - it's a life saver. My review pertains to this versions software of the app. It's TERRIBLE! Constant crashes, constant disconnects. I never know if my alarm is my glucose, Bluetooth, or app crash. The old version never had problems, this version I have nothing but problems. If I had a choice I would use the old app, but that's not a choice I get to make.

App is very slow, takes several seconds to do things after tapping, and even to close. Uses a lot of RAM. No way to view ALL readings as a list, only graphs. Using your finger to slide is imprecise, and it doesn't show all the readings. I had a low glucose alarm, but a few minutes later I could not find that event by sliding on the graph. Sometimes there are gaps of 20+ minutes in the graph even though I was able to see changes during that time.
