Finally, an app that “gets it!"

I’ve tried many apps to try to manage my diabetes in a better way, but they all fall somewhere between being an overcomplicated way to track things I don’t find important and treating diabetes as an ancillary that’s bolted on. One Drop is the first app I’ve used where I really feel the developer “gets it.” It allows me to tailor the app to track what *I* need to track and keeps the rest out of the way. I’ve never seen an app so well geared to tracking data from a CGM and an insulin pump—including basal rates. It reads in nutrition data from HealthKit, so if you use another app to track your food intake it’ll automatically display it, but it also has a quality food database that allows you to search for food for logging or scan a barcode. It incorporates activity data produced by the Apple Watch seamlessly.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been so thrilled with an app that can help me improve my lifestyle, and the team behind it are both very responsive to their community and seem to be iterating according to customer feedback at a rapid clip. I’m excited to see the features that they have coming with CareKit integration, tighter integration with nutrition/diet data and HealthKit, and improvements that condense my data down into meaningful reports.
