I like the idea, but not sure about the icon. To be honest, It seems unfriendly, while according to your app idea it should express some friendly and supportive metaphor.

@ivanmikhnenkov Thanks Ivan, I appreciate the feedback. I'll consider updating that text to seem more supportive.

@devmehta You're welcome! Just to be precise, I was talking about the icon, 'cause syringe looks a bit scary. And I agree: the idea of care & support in your app can be extended to everywhere, because this is what Glucolog about ^^

I like the idea. So I text my glucose data to the number and receive the results but I can also view my results visually in an app or website? Also why did you chose SMS over an app for logging the glucose data ? Surely sending SMS would cost more money than putting it into an app - what was the reasoning for this? Just an idea - I think it might be useful to have a free pricing plan where people store only the glucose data in app. Then in the premium plan allows for the texting or app input of glucose data hence covering the cost because they are paying for that plan and you are growing the user base by offering a free plan. I also agree with the below on comment on the icon, it is a bit a scary.

@karimcmahon Thanks for the feedback! Yup, you have the basics right. Results can be viewed in a pretty chart via a simple URL. Glucolog uses SMS for a few reasons: we didn't want to exclude users that have feature phones; SMS is simple and intuitive, especially for those that are not smartphone-native or struggle with the complexity of apps; and SMS notifications tend to be seen as more important than push notifications, so users are more likely to respond. Good thoughts on pricing. We're working on something to address this ;) I agree with the icon comment; unfortunately I didn't create this listing, so I can't change that. Maybe Hunter @craigdeakin can help, since a couple of people have mentioned that now?
