t:simulator™ App

It’s nice to have this to prepare for getting this pump, but Tandem made the app in a way it won’t keep a session. That means that on every restart it resets your CGM (force re-enables it) and refills the insulin cartridge. Some settings are kept, but this isn’t. That makes it impossible to use this app as a true simulator (without CGM) and use it to pretend that you have the pump for a few days. You can’t properly learn. The infusion set replacement can’t be simulated either. So whilst it’s very nice this app exists, due to these choices: the app isn’t as useful as it can be and that’s a major missed opportunity. It’s a very nice app to get to know the basics, but it’s a shame Tandem doesn’t unlock the full potential by making it a true simulator that can mimic the pump as to how it would work when on your body. I’ve reported this 6 months ago, but Tandem made no changes - so I guess they don’t want to offer this useful scenario to us.

Great app but needs to represent the current software capabilities so it is more useful for trainings.

I think it should have all the beep noises cause it tells the owner what noise it makes when you bolus or when it’s out of insulin and you need to fill the cartrige

I’m more than a year into my diabetes unless you make a feature like the practice that is actually your pump I’m only giving 5 stars so everyone will look at it

I like being able to see what my pump is doing without digging it out. One problem is it doesn’t update as often with out me doing it. The app is set to update in the background. It would be great if you could blouses from the app. If these two issues were solved I would give it a solid five.

The app is ok but my main complaint is that it shows mmol/l with no option to change to mg/dl . I am in a country that uses mg/dl and I do not want to have to calculate what my numbers would be in mmol/l . In response to the reply from the developer. This is for the Tsimulator. If it were for the Tconnect I would have reviewed the Tconnect

This app shows you what the pump would look like, but does not give you a realistic experience with it at all. You can’t actually simulate doing anything.

So first off: I love the simulator. It’s amazing and very realistic, but I wish you could actually go through and like pretend to change the pump. I feel that would make it more realistic. Otherwise, this app is very amazing :)!

If it worked with the Dexcom, I could also see what is happening with blood sugar and pump. Because the Decomshows on pump it will not show on Dexcom simply thing. I tried and can only get it on a Dexcom machine. So sad.

I hope Tandem knows that Apple has a USBC Lightning adapter with a port to plug in USB devices in iPad and has a lightening plug so you can plug in a pump( if Tandem had the actual app that uploads reports from the pump for not just a computer but iPad) and a port to plug in the iPad power plug. This means you can plug in a camera or other usb devices and import to iPad and provide power for each at same time. Hopefully Tandem developers a function app for iPad soon.
