Maybe its under review  either   with appel or with the  FDA. You know how these things work with these tech companies.

Well, the Ios app is not available to use with the Omnipod 5 yet, that I do know.

Ed,
I am another member of the Accessible insulin pump task force and I’m really anxious to hear how the Omnipod android app works with Tatalkback and if you are able to access all of the menu items and perform all procedures yourself using talk back.
I will be eagerly awaiting your update.
Patricia

Here’s to hoping it’s as straight forward on Android! I’ll report back to the group with my findings, in the next few weeks!
