Ratings and reviews

1st day. I find this app is pretty difficult to use, specially logging in food, I have to look up everything to find out the carbs count. Also syncing takes time to have the information on my other devices. I have to use a second app to find the carbs of all the food. I also think that it is kind of complicated. It needs to be more simple than that. I like the app "Lose it" a lot because it gives all choices for the food when you look it up, even with different brands and restaurants' name.

The application as advertised would be great, but it started to be difficult to get it to accept a reading everytime. I have to turn on and off both the meter and the app several times to get it to accept a test reading. I would also like to be able to send my readings to either my computer or printer. I could do that with my old meter. Update: the update did not improve it's operation. Still freezes.

It's buggy. I've been using it since July 14, 2018. Sometimes it thinks I'm in a different time zone (the little airplane icon appears). The reminders are always an hour late. Notes almost never stay the first time; I have to enter them twice (now, I always select all and copy before I click done). The app has started going to the first date of record and I have to scroll... scroll... scroll to get to the newest entry. Entering text beyond the first few lines is guesswork because the text window stays at the top. You have to keep hiding the keyboard to see what you've typed. Oh, and the "Send error report" does not load a destination email address. So, you can't send an error report.
