Medtronic Doesn't Understand Software – MiniMed Connect Review

This app has potential, which Medtronic is once again squandering. The app has not been updated since September 2015. Where is the ability to see more than 24 hours worth of data? Where is the ability to connect to an Apple Watch? Where is improved connectivity and reliability? Where is the ability to receive pump alarms on your phone? Medtronic has shown that it does not have the ability to keep either its hardware or software up to date. It is still selling pumps with crude 1990's screens. It takes many months to update its CareLink software for new OS releases (despite being a web app). The new pump they will be selling in the US is still technologically inferior to the one they have been selling abroad for over a year. This app was a chance for them to show that they were finally taking software seriously. They have failed miserably. "We'll improve things REAL SOON NOW. Trust us." Not anymore. As a Medtronic user, I am feeling that I will always be stuck in the past. UPDATE: Another year has passed, and absolutely nothing has changed.
