Absolute Garbage
Absolute Garbage. The plastic is too smooth so it jumps out of your hands. And in the case. The function buttons are not grippy enough and the meter subject to being switched on unknowingly I think by the elastic that overlies them-needing a case design- once zipped up-in the case causing permanently low power as indicated on the meter ? I always ensure that the meter is switched off before putting it back in th case, but is it ? The functionality of those buttons is also crap. I’m pressing button after button and both just to get it to switch it on first, then it’s awkward to cycle thru the options, select and save. Sometimes it jumps straight to these altering the date and causing me to have to go thru the whole tedious setup process again. And review previous readings and averages. THEN the worst of all. Intermittent Bluetooth connectivity. I ensure that my phone is always switched on and the app waiting for me to pair with it, once I eject the strip, and most of the time it doesn’t even come on ! My record is four attempts to get it to register one after the other before giving up. I won’t again. Is this due to the meter’s batteries being drained due to the meter being switched on by the elastic once the case is zipped ? Next it the pen for the lancet. I’m a model maker with hard fingertip skin which the lancet has real problems at times getting thru even on max depth. I rotate the fingertip I use every day, but again, it can take several attempts to get a decent drop of blood. So, in summation this thing is Shit. Shit design, Shit plastic, Shit button use and functionality, Absolute Shit Bluetooth-and this is my second meter-And a Shit app that needs a compete redesign. Altogether. Just Shit. Can’t wait for the next one. Maybe go back to the Nexus/HCT design ?
