I downloaded GluHealth because the ads everywhere promised seamless, automatic blood glucose measurement using only the Apple Watch – no finger pricks, no manual entry, just wear your watch and see real-time glucose levels. Sounded revolutionary, so I was ready to pay for the subscription. The moment I opened the app, it immediately asked for payment (no trial, not even 2 minutes to test the “main feature”). I paid… and discovered that there is ZERO automatic glucose tracking. Nothing. No integration with any sensor, no readings from the Apple Watch – absolutely nothing. Instead, it’s just a very basic manual log where you have to type in your glucose values yourself, exactly like dozens of free apps do. This is not a “coming soon” feature, it simply does not exist, yet the advertising very clearly promises it. Taking money for a functionality that isn’t there feels extremely dishonest. I requested a refund the same day. Very disappointed and feel completely misled by the marketing. Avoid until they either add the promised feature or stop lying in their ads. 1 star only because zero isn’t possible.
Edit: I changed my rating from 1 star to 3 because I emailed them and said I didn’t authorize the $6 charge and with no questions asked they refunded it. Though I won’t prob use their app and though I was disappointed with the charge they made it right and any company that is willing to do that without arguing is worth a better rating. Good job guys! I appreciate that. The app says it’s free yet I got charged $6 for something which I don’t know about. I did not authorize it or want this app.
The advertising is de roving when it claims to monitor without the need of draw blood, what doesn’t tell you is that you are purchasing a monitor app that connects with your biosensor and if not having a biosensor then you can input your manually taken results to keep record of it. Why do I need to pay for that if when using a biosensor it comes with their own reader and is for free? One more thing this developer has been trying to make additional charges to my card that I have not agreed on purchase, and I don’t even know what those intended charges are for? Definitively, transparency on their service is needed; and I do not recommend this app, which for me was of no use, so I paid for the app just to be humored. However not happy to see they are trying to charge more for who knows what.
