After downloading this app (on the recommendation of a friend) I was very excited to show it to my 8 year old type 1 diabetic daughter. At first she was overjoyed by the colors, fun choices of different faces and voices, and to hear fun comments with each BG test value. However, after 15 mins of using it we deleted it without regret. This app almost made my daughter cry by repeatedly telling her how “bad she was at taking care of herself” or how “she obviously doesn’t care about herself enough to stay in her target”. Keeping an 8 year old in their BG target range all day long is dang near impossible. This app may be fun for older teenagers or young adults but for young kids, save yourself from needing to comfort your child and do not download!!!!!

Your app was just shared on a few of the FB groups as an alternative way to view blood glucose. Those that shared it had been using it for some time, so it was free to them. When the rest of us tried to install it, we were met with a subscription message. I would happy pay $1-2 a month for this app, but not $5-6. Others were mentioning the same thing. If you lower your price, you will get more customers, which will offset the loss you get with your high price.

The app is free to download but now in order to use it you have to pay a subscription. Happy bob used to be completely free to use. Being a diabetic is pricey enough as it is and now in order to have a fun app to help track you have to pay for it? Well I guess I’m deleting it for good. Not fair at all to start charging for something that used to be completely free.
