MiniMed Connect App Reviews

So, originally the connect device was $199, now its $99. Why? This app is horrible. The companion device loses connection a ton! This app is terrible because of the lack of notifications. You are a diabetic, and you have a CGM. What do you want out of an app? Alerts? Not this app. The entire system lacks the one thing that would make this useful. Having relevant information presented to you when you need it. If I am getting low, I want an alert. If I am getting high, I want an alert. If my battery is low, an alert. Maybe an alert when I am running out of insulin. They honestly expect you to use Notification Center or open the app. What about a pop up alert? Nope. My guess is that the hardware is so bad (due to the reliability of the thing connecting) that they cant make it work reliably. So whats left? A complete waste of $99 or $199 depending on when you bought the companion device. Sadly, a company that realizes their product is no good wont even help relieve the early adopters of the overpriced piece of garbage they released. DO NOT BUY THE CONNECT! And all you diabetics out there that say its a step in the right direction. STOP. This thing is garbage. Just admit it. The programming is lack luster, and the device doesnt work well. This is not what being a diabetic in 2016 should be like. Stop accepting mediocrity!

App is definitely a start. But I need more than just a way to look at my readings. Needs to allow for more pump information to be recalled from within app.

As like everyone else has said many missing things. Really wished I could get alarms on phone. Very hard to hear alerts on the pump. But will be waiting for updates.

We purchased the transmitter/receiver and installed the app for our daughter because MiniMeds website says "view insulin pump & CGM information on your mobile device." We didnt know that the app only shows active insulin and reservoir level. What we need it to show is bolus history (including historical bolus wizard data). Your advertisement is misleading and, in my opinion, you are intentionally being dishonest in an attempt to sell the $100 transmitter/receiver. If I could give zero stars, I would.

So I update my phone after a month of seeing the icon and now Connect doesnt support it? I have been trying to download my sons information for close to an hour and nothing.

When you open this app, it can take minutes to "update". Not sure what it is doing during this time but all I want is my meter reading. This should be instant then it can update after I see this number. If it takes minutes and I have to look at my pump then this device is useless.

My main issue with this app is most of the time when I launch the app, it has to update itself before I can see my graph on it and the update takes long enough that I give up on the app and look at my pump instead. Also wish it showed when my boluses were like the pump graph does. Alarms would be nice since I often either dont hear the pump beeping or for some reason I dont feel the vibration. An alarm on the phone would be very helpful to me.

What thin excuse for an app. I stay disconnected more than I stay connected. No alert features that I see for myself. Apple Watch support also needed. I understand it takes FDA approval to make changes to this app, but come on!!
