Most-Requested Missing Features

Features users are literally asking for in their reviews, ranked by demand.

#1: Entry editing capability

High Demand
"You can't edit a number or time of day easily. You have to delete the entire entry and start over."
"I wish that if you go in and add an entry later that it would show up for the time stated not the time entered and that you could make edits to previous entries."

#2: Export/download full history

Medium Demand
"Can't download more than 1 screen of readings. Statistics page makes no sense."

#3: Clear onboarding and instructions

High Demand
"How do I use it. Really no instructions."
"buyer beware they don't give directions took my money and will not give it back!!!!!"

#4: Note-saving functionality

Medium Demand
"Although there's a place to make notes after entering a note, you can't save."

Build Recommendations

Prioritized actions based on user demand and market opportunity.

Crystal-clear positioning as 'manual tracker only'

43% of complaints stem from expecting actual glucose measurement. Honest marketing ('Log your meter readings') will filter out wrong-fit users and build trust, reducing refund requests and negative reviews.

Full entry editing with timestamp flexibility

Multiple users cite inability to edit entries as a critical flaw. Allow editing values, times, and notes post-creation. Support backdating entries with correct timestamps for medical accuracy.

Ad-free experience with transparent one-time pricing

Ads before medical data entry are uniquely inappropriate. Offer one-time purchase ($4.99-$9.99) instead of subscription to avoid auto-renewal backlash. Make pricing visible upfront before any download.

Robust data export (PDF, CSV, email to doctor)

Users need full history exports beyond '1 screen of readings.' Medical context requires sharing data with healthcare providers. Build unlimited export as core feature, not premium upsell.

Data validation and auto-correct prevention

Critical bug where app enters '90' automatically or wrong times undermines trust in medical tracking. Implement confirmation screens for entries and visual validation to prevent silent data corruption.
