I enjoy the app, and paid the annual premium for subscription but no one is responding to my email requests to fix a password issue! Either contact me or refund my money!!!!!

absolutely incredible app, pretty much all I was hoping for when I first heard about it and I'm very satisfied. I love the groups option because I've only ever seen my own numbers throughout the day and seeing others makes me feel way less alone.

I like a gamified experience, but I was hoping for more encouragement when my BGs are out of range. I have a good sense of humor, but some of the feedback dances on a fine line between "snarky" and insensitive. People struggle with management sometimes, despite their best efforts, and I personally am not always in the mood for a fresh comment popping up on my phone. Good idea overall, but not for me.
