I’ve been a T1D for 51 years and have tried countless carb-tracking apps. Recently along came this weird app called SNAQ! I downloaded it and was impressed right away. The feature in particular is the running graph that shows my line of blood sugar numbers throughout the day. I plug in my meal to get the carb count, then go to my pump or t:connect on my iPhone to enter the carbs. I let it figure out the units I need, press either button to administer insulin, then go back to SNAQ & record that number of units. I also report any Activity I’ve done and write in the Notes any special data I want pertaining to my diabetes that day.The only issue is in recording the amounts of different food. Right now SNAQ takes only the scale weight, not fluid weight or measuring spoons. Nevertheless, their customer service is quick to respond to emails and I believe they are working to be more user-friendly. More importantly, I have been most often right on target with my numbers since using SNAQ.

I am absolutely disappointed in this app. This app continuously doesn’t save entries I put in. It’s almost on the daily that I enter a dosage & when I go back to check what time it was at the entire entry is gone. I’ve already left this as a review & they emailed me telling me to track when it doesn’t do it. I don’t have time to do that. The whole point of paying for this app is so it tracks so I don’t have to track. Not only is this a huge disappointment & inconvenience, but it’s ridiculous. I am making health decisions based on what I track here & now I have no idea what time or what amount my dosage was because it doesn’t save my entry. Why is it that an app like Snapchat, I could take a Snapchat & not have reception for 3 days and it still saves my Snapchat, but here is I don’t have service it won’t even let me make an entry & if I do have service it doesn’t even save it at least once a day. How does this not have an auto save feature no matter what, where it can upload later if for whatever reason it fails to upload the first time. This is a safety concern. Not to mention, the whole reason I even initially signed up was because it advertised that it will track patterns & give me advice, it hasn’t done that once, there’s been no patterns tracked or advice given to better manage my diabetes. To charge that much for an app & have it work this poorly is crazy work.

I set a goal for myself to improve my A1c, which was usually at 7. Well, I did in fact improve my A1c to a 5.3 I was shocked! Many factors impacted this number but the main one was your app. I have logged every single bite, making me accountable to myself while tuning in on my macros. But most importantly to me is seeing the way my body responds to each meal with the CGM and repeating what works and changing what doesn’t. I recommend SNAQ in my diabetes groups all the time—such a game changer!

Snaq has THE best post-meal glucose reporting I've seen. I love it!!!! It tells you all you want to know: for the three hours following a meal you’ve entered, how much of that time you remained in your target range (which is customizable in the Units section of Settings), what your glucose peak was, how long it took to reach the peak, and your total glucose rise over what it was before the meal. You can also see how many carbs, fats, proteins, and calories each meal contains as well as your day’s total for each macro. The pdf data exports are beautiful and super easy to read and share with a nutritionist. I also love the running glucose graph which is easy to scroll through. Also love that it displays your activity level with little bars at the bottom of the graph (health data like steps is imported from Apple Health). So much to love about this App! I highly recommend it.
