PumpDash for Android
Android 8.0 or later · Free
PumpDash for Android is in beta while it heads to Google Play. Use this button to ask to join the beta.
Email buttons open your email app. You can also write to hopes@hopestinkery.com.
Before you install, make sure the pump uploads to Tandem Source* and, ideally, that Sugarmate is linked. See steps 1 and 2 of the install guide.

Get PumpDash
Once it's on Google Play, open the listing with the button at the top of this page and tap Install.
For the beta, open the Google Play test link we send you, join the test, then install PumpDash from Google Play.
Open PumpDash and read the notice
The first screens welcome you and explain that PumpDash is not a medical device. Read the notice and agree to continue. You only see it once.
Connect Tandem Source*
- Tap Sign in with Tandem Source*. Tandem's* own sign-in page opens inside the app.
- Sign in with your Tandem Source* login. PumpDash never sees your password; the sign-in Tandem* returns is encrypted with a key held in the Android Keystore.
- Just looking? Tap Use a demo account to explore a simulated day with nothing connected.
Link Sugarmate if PumpDash asks
If your pump is only uploading about once an hour, PumpDash suggests linking Sugarmate by Tandem* so updates arrive about every 5 minutes. Tap Get Sugarmate or How to link it, then confirm once it's linked. You can change this later in Settings.
Find your way around
- The main screen shows the reading with its trend and age, the overview cards, and a chart with meals, corrections, suspends and basal.
- Tap a card for its details.
Adjust Settings
- Display: turn on Show mmol/L if you use mmol/L.
- Consumables: how many days a site and a sensor last, so the countdowns match yours.
- Region: match your Tandem* account. Changes apply after the app restarts.
- Demo: switch to simulated data at any time.
Good to know
Sign out or start over
Settings > Sign out removes your Tandem* sign-in. Settings > Delete all data signs you out and erases everything PumpDash stored on the phone.
Your data stays on the phone
App backup and device-to-device transfer are turned off, so PumpDash's data never leaves the phone.
Troubleshooting
If something looks off
Google Play says the app isn't available.
It isn't listed yet, or your phone runs a version of Android older than 8.0. Beta testers need to join the test from our link first.
The Tandem* sign-in page doesn't load.
Check the phone's internet connection, and that the Region in Settings matches your Tandem* account. Region changes apply after the app restarts.
Glucose and pump data only update about once an hour.
Link Sugarmate by Tandem* to Tandem Source* on the pump user's phone, as in step 2 of the main install guide. The pump then uploads about every 5 minutes, and PumpDash picks up the faster rhythm on its own.
