## Development team
In the following we report the main information provided by the development team in the Google play store.

| **Developer**  | Ascensia Diabetes Care |
| **Website**  | [http://aboundcare.com](http://aboundcare.com) |
| **Email** | <EMAIL> |
| **Physical address**  | [5 Wood Hollow Rd Parsippany, New Jersey 07054 United States](https://www.google.com/maps/search/5%20Wood%20Hollow%20Rd%20Parsippany,%20New%20Jersey%2007054%20United%20States) (Google Maps) |

## Android support
| | |
|-------------------------|-------------------------|
| **Declared target Android version**  | Pie, version 9 (API level 28) |
| **Effective target Android version**  | Pie, version 9 (API level 28) |

| **Maximum target Android version**  | - |
The larger the difference between the minimum and maximum supported Android versions, the better. A larger difference means a wider audience. For example, old phones have a very low Android version, so a high minimum supported Android version means that the app cannot be used by users with old phones, thus leading to accessibility problems.

> Garage app that doesn't work attempts to enroll many times only produce a stupid error message that is WRONG. Got a call on landline number advising of a workaround but have to call. How about either fixing app or canning it. Meanwhile have permanently deleted app and demand that my personal information be purged from your systems!<br> :date: __2020-06-06 15:00:00__
