Great App! Highly recommended!
I see you added an option to sync to apple health, but the switch to export on the app won’t slide. In settings Apple Health FlWatch is switched on to allow as a source, but still on the app I press y slide on to export the data is not possible. Is it just me?
Response from developer
Thank you for coming back with another review — and I’m glad to hear you’re still enjoying FLwatch! Apple Health support was added after requests like yours, so it’s especially nice to see you using it now. Regarding the export switch: until now, FLwatch required permission for both glucose and insulin data before Apple Health export could be enabled. I recently changed this so the two are handled independently — for example, allowing glucose alone is now sufficient if that’s all you want to export. That improvement will be included in the next release, so what you’re seeing should be resolved there. Thanks again for the feedback and for sticking with FLwatch!
This is an exceptional app.
And a button to hide the ‘since the last reading’ as I keep mistaking it for my clock.
Cheers. I love it and Thankyou muchly.

Thank you very much for the lovely review — I really appreciate it! Regarding long-acting insulin: FLwatch’s current IOB calculation is intended for rapid-acting insulin, as basal/long-acting insulin is normally treated separately rather than being included in IOB. That said, I’ll have a look at whether long-acting insulin could be entered and represented on the graphs in a useful way without making the IOB display misleading. And regarding the “since the last reading” display: I think you mean the indication showing how many minutes have passed since the last glucose value. If so, I can certainly look into providing an option to hide it. Thanks again for the kind words and for the suggestions — feedback like this is very helpful!
Great looking app but it eats battery charge!
I have reverted to SweetDreams app which functions the same but only uses a few percent in the same time. Real shame. 😞
Update. After a rebuttal from the writer, I reinstalled the App just to find that it screws battery life just as bad as before. Over 60% of my battery consumption was the FL Watch app on the first day. Needless to say I’ve removed it again.
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback. I have since done some additional profiling of FLwatch’s battery usage and identified the Live Activity as one area where consumption could be significantly reduced. In particular, rendering the glucose graph every minute was more expensive than necessary. This has now been reworked with a much more lightweight rendering approach and will be included in the next FLwatch release. In the meantime, users who experience higher-than-expected battery consumption can disable the Live Activity in FLwatch, which should considerably reduce its battery impact while keeping the rest of the app available. One small clarification regarding the percentage shown in iOS Battery settings: this number represents FLwatch’s share of the battery usage attributed to apps during the selected period. It does not mean that FLwatch itself consumed that percentage of the phone’s total battery charge. For example, an app can account for a large percentage of reported app usage even when the overall battery drain during that period was relatively small. Battery efficiency is something I continuously look at as part of developing FLwatch, and improvements like this are made whenever I find an opportunity to reduce resource usage without sacrificing functionality.
A Very Underrated App, IMO

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review! I’m really happy to hear that FLwatch continues to be useful for you, even after switching away from the Apple Watch. It’s especially great to know that the Live Activities and LibreLink updates are working well for you. FLwatch is a free, open-source project that I develop in my spare time, so feedback like yours means a lot. Reviews like this are not only a huge motivation to keep improving the app, but they also help increase its visibility in the App Store, making it easier for other people with diabetes to discover it. Thank you again for your support and for being part of the FLwatch community. Wishing you all the best and stable glucose readings!
Works great
Response from developer
Thanks for the review. Maybe some missing permissions for Apple Health? Please send an email to support if the problem persists.

Thank you very much! I’m really glad FLwatch adds something useful that you were missing. Feedback like this is a great motivation to keep improving the app!
Usefull

Thanks. Glad it helps! 😊
At last, an app that’s practical!
Response from developer
Thank you so much for your review. I agree with the carb field. But I could not make it accepting input as well. And adding another field made everything too cluttered. My wprkaround: add the carbs on the carb/100g field, tap the 100g portion field and there you have the carbs you entered. 😊

Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback and for trying FLwatch. FLwatch is a free and open-source project that I develop in my spare time to help the diabetes community. I genuinely appreciate bug reports, feature suggestions, and constructive criticism, because they help improve the app for everyone. That said, some limitations are outside of the app’s control — especially regarding iOS/watchOS background updates, widget refresh frequency, and battery usage, which are heavily restricted by Apple’s system policies and can vary significantly between devices and configurations. I always try to improve performance, reliability, and battery efficiency whenever possible. If something is not working as expected, please consider reaching out through the project channels with details about your setup so issues can be investigated properly. Thank you again for your support, patience, and understanding.
Excellent. Top notch
Diabetiker Must have
Alleine für die Carplay Funktion gibts bei mir schon 100 Punkte. Unverständlich das Abbott so etwas nicht auf die Reihe bekommt, bei den Milliarden die die mit Libre verdienen.
Works but fails to update
Wow, got a nasty message from the developer. Diabetics are looking solutions. I understand that being limited by iOS is frustrating but not nearly as frustrating as monitoring your vital signs every 15 minutes and taking six shots of insulin a day. Maybe the rating should one star based on customer service.

Genial
Ich hoffe der Erfinder der App gewinnt im Lotto weil die App ist Goldwert!
Muito bom
Response from developer
Obrigado. Que tipo de gráfico você gostaria de ver? A insulina basal não é incluída nos cálculos da insulina ativa. Ela deve permanecer constante e é normalmente administrada apenas uma vez por dia ou a cada dois dias.
Incredibly good.
I wouldn’t recommend this with Freestyle Libre 2 sensors because of how unreliable those sensors are for staying connected. Again that’s the fault of the sensors and not the app.
So far it works incredibly well with the Libre 3 Plus sensors and I highly recommend it!
Incredible app
Response from developer
Thanks a lot. I am glad the app helps!
Great app

Glad it helps! Thanks for letting a review!
Awesome but not working anymore
Response from developer
Hi, good question, what exactly is the problem? Best is to send an email to support. Thanks.
Круто!
Fab and easy to use
1. Integration with Apple Watch using the LibreLinkUp data. Very easy to set up, especially if you’ve already done this yourself share data with your GP/DSN. FYI I use the modular watch face and set the complications to update every 20 minutes.
2. Ability to record IOB - no idea why LibreLink doesn’t do this - prettier y essential.
The app is free, but I’ve bought the developers some coffee and recommend you do the same 😀
