Glucose Buddy Universal?
 

I haven't been very good about using GB for ages, but now that I have decided to take that path again, I find that GB is still not a "universal" app. That is, it works on iPad (either in iPhone size or double size ugly) but its not *for* iPad.

Is this likely to change in the near future?

I wish that I could answer your question. One can only hope for an update.

Another nice addition would be if there was a desktop application to sync with, direct from your meter. I would pay for something like that, but am aware its not a very likely future, seems like the only applications working with meters are those created by the meter manufacturers themselves.
