Glucose Blood Sugar Tracker 4+

Great Application

it’s easy to use. Right to the point and uncomplicated. I have been looking for an app like this that’s quick and easy for my busy life style . Had a Doctor appointment and was able to show him my progress. I love it . The Only change I would suggest is the graphing of the data should be displayed horizontally not gust vertically because it compresses the data to much over time and hard to read. I check my A1c
4 Times a day; X 30 days =120 data points. Vertical room on my screen is about 2.5 inches , horizontally it’s about 8.5 inches . Thanks ! Richard

Hi there,

Thank you for taking the time to write your detailed review. We're glad you found the reports useful for your doctor–it's a feature that many users find useful. We're working on some updates soon that should make the graph easier to read with more data.

Poorly designed algorithms…..

On the surface, this app appears to work as expected, however after awhile if you actually look at the data compilations and do some independent calculations, you will notice that the ‘averages’ don’t actually add up, and that the algorithms that are used to calculate your BG averages are actually not correct, and don’t provide the actual numbers that they should. An example would be: 1) when my BG went up 57 points, the average went up by 0.1 point 2) when my BG went DOWN 54 points, the average went UP by 0.3 points! I’ve been using this app for over a year now, and this anomaly has been repeated multiple times in virtually every month that I’ve been using and tracking it. This is unacceptable for an app built to monitor something ‘health’ critical, that people rely on for their wellbeing. The best thing that this app is good for is nothing but ‘ballpark’ guesstimates of your actual BG levels. It gets worse with every update, now getting to the point of being just about worthless. This app is basically only useful for someone who’s too lazy to do their own tracking or for those who blindly believe everything that an app tells them. Save your money,time, data, and look elsewhere for a better app.

Needs a little work

Coming from Android’s BG Monitor, I was looking for something equivalent in simplicity but still had the features I was used to and this was the closest I could find. For the most part it works fine but a few minor but deal killers for me.. First is the blood sugar is REQUIRED for an entry, sometimes a BG is not necessary if you are bolusing after a check/bolus/correction. I end up using the previous blood sugar and it messes with the averages displayed on the home screen. Second is the graph, when selecting a blood sugar it only displays the number and date, the time is not included which makes it difficult to target the exact time frame of a high/low trend. Third the contact information doesn’t work, it always displays “Cannot connect to server” at the top every time. There is also no feature for diet other than a notes section on each entry.

Perhaps once the bug with the contact method is fixed and I can get in touch I will change my review. This app has great potential but for me it’s not quite there yet.
