Walmart ReliOn Life 4+

This app is really basic. There are not charts or graphs to have a quick look at your trends for the week/month, let alone for the day. Also, looking at your history is a multiple click process, you have to go to the calendar, pick a day, look at it, then exit out of the day back to the calendar then pic another day. There is no way just to swipe through days quickly. Also, you have to go into each of the days to find what your results were. I believe there is supposed to be an indicator on the calendar at the day level to indicate you are green (good) or red (bad). However there are many day on the calendar view where it looks like you didn’t take any tests, but when you click on the day, it shows data. It’s really annoying when trying to gain a quick idea of what your body is doing. There is a place for taking notes on each day but no indication to which days have notes. This with the very cumbersome process of reviewing individual days makes the app more trouble than it is worth.

It works… but it is constantly resetting. Every time I check my blood sugar I select it and mark the areas needed to get rid of the yellow dot. I check my sugar again and do the same thing. When I open the app it reset all the checks and I have to go back in and select what each check was for whether it be a fasting check, before meal, after meal or other. I shouldn’t have to keep redoing it. If you tell me that I need to finish the profile to keep the changes, then I will tell you that’s just stupid since I don’t know what the day holds. Diet, activity, etc. Also, need a way to set multiple blood sugar levels. When setting for fasting checks the sugar level needs to be lower than an after eating meal level. If you set the level too low, you’ll be in the red almost all day. If there is a way to set multiple levels I haven’t found it.

Update: I reduced the stars because it reset on me again today May 1, 2023. It is a waste of my time to continuously go through and remember what I wrote when I already wrote it and saved it. Not I have to try and remember later again what I wrote earlier because the app isn’t doing what it should. Please fix the reset issues.

It syncs just fine with the ReliOn device, but that’s it. It does not sync with Apple Health. WalMart has done many things for diabetes management, but they missed an opportunity here. The companion website, Ark Health is where to go to see collected data and print it out for a provider. It’s OK, but Ark Health is not a well known name and is not mentioned anywhere in the app.
There is no way to export the data in .csv for various databases or spreadsheets. As a CDE I think WalMart/Ark Health/ReliOn and do so much better by rebranding, linking with Apple Health and allow more data export options.
