I liked the layout of that app. Adding a manual bolus (or adjusting the calculated bolus) was a pain as you could only increase the bolus in 0.1u increments and couldn’t type it in. That was the only dislike I had I think though.

My DSN got me to use it before moving on to a pump. I can’t remember the ins and outs of it (rubbish memory!). I just remember that it was basic and straightforward, which I liked. 🙂 I’m not a big fan of faffing with tech just as I sit down for a meal.

I like basic too but eg if I was taking a 5u bolus then having to press + 50 times wasn’t something I could stick to
 
I’ve been using a spreadsheet I made in Numbers on my iPhone, not very slick but it does the job :
