Two things this time. One embarrassing, one educational. First, the embarrassing one. Turns out you can't buy something the app never asks the App Store about. We had a typo in the ID that connects Glyde+ to Apple's payment system. One wrong string, and the purchase screen just... spun. Forever. Very serene. Completely useless. Fixed. Glyde+ is now actually purchasable, as originally intended. We also added proper error handling to that screen, so if anything ever goes sideways again, you'll get a real message and a "Try Again" button instead of an infinite loading spinner and a growing sense of doubt. Sorry to everyone who tried to give us money and couldn't. We appreciate you more than you know. Now the educational one. Apple asked us to show our work. Fair enough. If your app is going to confidently announce someone's BMI, it should probably be willing to explain where that number came from... and not in a "trust me bro" kind of way. So we've added a Medical Sources section in Settings. Every calculation Glyde makes: BMI, your protein target, estimated medication level, exercise calories, even the Bristol Stool Scale; now shows the actual formula, what it can't account for, and a link to the published research behind it. NIH, WHO, FDA prescribing information, peer-reviewed journals. The real stuff. Settings → Medical Sources. Go fact-check us. We'll wait.

Okay so, funny story. We built a nice little "rate us" screen into onboarding. Apple took one look and said "absolutely not," and honestly? They were right. Asking you to rate an app you'd been using for eleven seconds was a bit like proposing on a first date. We've removed it. Instead, Glyde will now ask for a review after you've actually used it... five injections in, tucked quietly at the bottom of your Home screen. Tap it, don't tap it, dismiss it forever. No stars to pre-select, no funneling, no nonsense. Just an honest ask, once, and then it leaves you alone. However you rate us, we'd genuinely love to hear from you! Praise, complaints, feature requests, mild grievances about our color choices. We're a small team, we read everything, and we've shipped fixes because one person emailed us. support@glydeglp.com is always open. Also in this update: Fixed a bug where Glyde+ was unlocking itself for people who hadn't purchased it. Generous of us... Yup! Sustainable? Not even close! Onboarding is now one step shorter, which we're choosing to count as a feature, so there's that. That's it. Back to your regularly scheduled tracking.

Big one this time. Glyde is now FREE! Yeah, you read that right... the price tag is gone. Every core feature (injections, weight, water tracking) is free, forever, no catch. Want more? Glyde+ unlocks everything else: nutrition, backup, doctor reports, the works and for a single one-time payment! Still no subscription, because we still think those are kind of the worst. Already paid for Glyde before today? You're covered. Glyde+ is unlocked for you automatically, for life. If it doesn't show up right away, just tap "Restore Purchases" and it will. Also new in v5: Glyde now speaks Spanish — full toggle in onboarding and Settings, completely free Custom reminder intervals — for everyone doing 2–3 shots a week who's been quietly suffering through our "every 7 days" assumption Fixed the bug where your reminder setting kept sneaking back to 7 days like a toddler escaping bedtime That's v5. Go tell your GLP-1 group chat.

Version 4.3 — The "We Giveth and We Taketh Away" Update Last update we fixed the memory issue. In doing so, we apparently snapped something else clean off — the quick entry menu now opens perfectly, looks gorgeous, and then just... stares at you when you tap it. A completely non-functional menu dressed up like it has somewhere to be. We are very proud of it. We have fixed the menu. It does things again. We are less proud of ourselves as developers but more proud of the app, which is the correct trade-off. Version 4.4 — Okay We Lied, One More We said we were done. We were not done. But in our defense, we couldn't stop staring at those redundant buttons on the home screen — taking up space, contributing nothing, living their best lives at your expense. They're gone. You're welcome. We also tidied up the Log button because if we're already in here we might as well make it pretty, fixed an Apple Health sync that was occasionally hanging like it had somewhere to be but couldn't quite commit, and swept up a few other things while we had the broom out. Is this the last update today? Yes. Absolutely. We're done. The app is perfect and we are going to leave it alone now. Please stop reading these notes and go take your shot.

Version 4.2 — The "Yes, I Still Take Zepbound" Update We owe you an apology. Glyde was apparently suffering from the same short-term memory issues that GLP-1s are not supposed to cause — every time you went to log a new injection, the app had completely forgotten your medication and dosage. Like, completely. Blank slate. Who are you? What drug? What dose? We fixed it. Your medication and dosage now save properly from onboarding and carry forward to every future entry — so you can spend less time typing "Zepbound 12.5mg" for the fourth time this month, and more time actually crushing those weight loss goals.

Okay, we need to have a quick chat. v4.0 just came out. Like, recently. And yet here we are, dropping v4.1 already — because we looked at the roadmap, saw all the good stuff we had planned for v5, and simply could not help ourselves. We got excited. We are not sorry. Here's what we couldn't wait to give you: Exercise tracking — log workouts, burn calories, watch your net budget update in real time. Turns out "I went for a walk" deserves to be in the app too. Dynamic protein goals — your protein target now calculates from your actual body weight. The old hardcoded 120g was a guess. This is science. Nutrition calendar — scroll back through the last 14 days because yesterday's cheat meal deserves to be documented properly. Doctor Visit Report — one clean page with your stats, medication, and side effects. Show up to your next appointment looking like you have it together. Quick Log menu — the big + button on the home screen now opens a menu for everything: injection, weight, water, food, exercise, symptoms, bowel. One tap. Seven options. Zero excuses. Weekly summary notification — every Sunday at 7pm, a roundup of your week lands in your notifications. Like a tiny health coach who only works one day a week. GLP-1 purpose personalization — tell Glyde why you're on this journey during setup and the app will actually speak to your specific goal. Bowel tracking moved to the Log tab — because that's where it always belonged and we're not afraid to admit it. v5 is still coming. It will have Spanish localisation and probably even more features we were supposed to save for v6. We make no promises.

Version 4 is the biggest update in Glyde's history. Nutrition Tracking — full macro logging powered by the USDA food database with Apple Health import Bowel Health — Bristol Stool Scale tracking to monitor one of GLP-1's most common side effects iCloud Backup — end-to-end encrypted, selective backup to your personal iCloud with one-tap restore Progress Charts — brand new Progress tab with weight trends, pharmacokinetic dose curves, and shot frequency charts Share Progress — generate a shareable image card with your stats and post to social media BMI Tracking — accurate BMI calculated from your height and weight, tracked over time Home Screen redesign — new card layout with one-tap navigation to your data Colored borders and improved card design throughout the app Bug fixes and performance improvements
