[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1698268, member: 374531"] I hadn't heard of spike-app before. I couldn't find much on the internet about it apart from their website [URL]https://spike-app.com/#[/URL] Were you able to download it? Don't know anything at all about iphones (most I've ever paid for a phone is 95 quid!), but the site says it's for ios and is a beta version, open source, copyright date on the webpage is 2018 so seems to be a new entrant at development stage. Not sure if it's just vapour-ware (mind you, people were saying that about blucon when the launch date kept on being pushed back..and..back..and...back...!). Am slightly cautious about other searches for "spike" bringing up the remarkably similarly named "spike app" minus the hyphen at [URL]https://www.thespikeapp.com[/URL] , apparently based in Beirut, offering some sort of "diabetes assistant". The wording on their site just doesn't "chime". It seems strange that there's two remarkably simarly named apps appearing about the same time but doing different things. The spike-app site mentions rather vaguely, getting the most out of your cgm transmitter". Which transmitters? Sure, there's a graphic on the home page showing screenshots of settings pages, and the one on the bottom mentions a "data source" option. xDrip+ has that too, which is how you can tell it to take data from a variety of sources such as g5, g4, librealarm, and now "libre bluetooth" for blucon. So, I suppose if you download spike-app, it would be a case of looking through it's data source options to see if there is one which caters for blucon. If not, it's highly unlikely to work with blucon. Couple of screenshots to show what I'm blethering about, first us the graphic from spike-app, second is the data source options page from xdrip+.
