Omnipod 5 App 4+

The omnipod app has been a game changer for me! I love being able to manage the pump through my phone instead of carrying two phones around with me all the time. Love it! I’ve had no issues with malfunctioning pods or pod failures related to the app.

I only have a couple of small complaints. First, I would love to be able to turn off Face ID. I’m the only person who handles my phone, which uses Face ID or passcode to open anyway! I really dislike that in the middle of the night if I need to use the app I have to either turn on the light so that it can see my face or press to deny using Face ID several times before it’ll let me enter my passcode. This should be an OPTIONAL feature of this app.

Second, I really miss being able to record where my last pod sites were. It’s an absolute need for us diabetics so that we can rotate our sites appropriately! I’ve taken to noting where I’m putting my pod in my calendar app, but I hope a future update will allow us to record where our pod sites are.

i was so looking forward to the ios version of this app, but have been seriously underwhelmed and disappointed with it since getting it. besides the standard bugs and complaints about time consuming verification methods needed to open the app, losing the ability to keep track of pod sites has been disappointing. the fact that i need to tap the glucose area twice to get the keypad to show up is simply irritating, because taking us to a whole new page and not even making the page open with a number pads just feels like thoughtless design. i finally got switched over to the g7 after months of being without sensors thanks to insurance issues, only to find out that this app isn't compatible with the g7??? this app came addy the same time as g7 integration, if not AFTER, so why can't i use it with the g7??? it's beyond disappointing, but not at all surprising. the only thing keeping me with omnipod is the convenience of no tubing, but i honestly have been questioning if that's even worth the hassle at this point because omnipod continues to disappoint me time and time again. its clear that there is no input from users taken into consideration without massive complaint which feels disrespectful. do better, please

I love my Omnipod, it got my A1C down from 13 to 9.1 in 3 months, the lowest it’s ever been. I appreciate the calibration features (omnipod and Dexcom), which I didn’t have on the Freestyle. I love that I can personally turn myself into activity mode or manual and turn my insulin off completely (not recommended, I am a very sensitive diabetic).
I do wish there was a weather feature where I could say I’m going to be in the sun all day (work and activities), give it an average temp, and have it be aware that I will be using less insulin and processing it quickly. I know that’s what the activity feature is supposed to be for, but it isn’t quite accurate to what I need. Or let it know that it’s winter, I’ll be inside all day and I need more.
Of course it’s still moderately new, so I am still very greatful for the advancements, but I would love to see some cool features!
