Ratings and Reviews
Great on iPhone. Impossible on iPad
Installed on iPad over a year ago. Always had problems with Bluetooth connection. Now it just stopped working altogether. Uninstalled and downloaded again. Now it doesn’t sync with cloud so absolutely useless. Conversely the iPhone app works fine. Wave meter vaguely in direction of phone and It updates immediately. Why can one work perfectly and the other fail to function?
*** Update. Have finally sorted this out, not from Ascensia but from diabetes Forum. My problems have arisen because I bought a new iPhone and paired meter to iPhone. When I repeatedly tried to pair again with my iPad (because it’s bigger and I can read it better!) it wouldn’t pair, as it was pairing with iPhone continually. SO, turn off iPhone altogether, now pair with iPad and hey presto, it works, and 7 months of readings miraculously appear on my iPad. PLEASE PLEASE can you make this clear to users that have both iPhone and iPad?

Nobody’s perfect
This pair of the glucose tester (BG meter) has been a big improvement from the digital LCD meters I have been using. The meter/tester is basically an iPhone sensor this explains its simplicity. The app provides ample functionality but is limited and confined. It would’ve extended its reach exponentially if only it opened itself to other applications e.g. Apple’s native Health app and other Diabetes apps, which I don’t quite get because their main business is the meter the app is a compliment. The more apps that can access the contour app data the more people would get the meter to use with their preferred applications. I sincerely hope Contour App is going to open its doors in the immediate future. One thing I would like to mention though it has nothing to do with the app, the microlet lancets are very well made and are extremely sharp this equates to little or no pain.
Pairing
As others pointed out pairing with the iPad if you also have iPhone on is impossible. Like the others I wanted to sit down with the meal planner so I could read it. However after re loading iPad app etc no of times it would not sync. The only work around is to switch the I phone off? Some interference between the two is the issue. It won’t pair the device nor sync to the cloud until iPhone is off?
Another great feature would be to be able to print off shopping lists from the device, just a thought. Also a barcode scanner of foods would help when shopping - e.g with recipe you could scan items as you are collecting them knocking them off the list? If that is possible.
It’s a great app when working but this needs to be addressed ASAP or we cannot use iPhone and iPad at same time.
Cheers
