Idea

I love this app. It works most of the time and I rarely have issues with sensors not working but I can’t help feeling there should be extensions to this app like being able to use it with your smartwatch or CarPlay. I’d love to be able to check my bloods while driving with a dedicated extension for CarPlay. That would be excellent if that could be done but I doubt here’s much call for that.

iOS 27

When will you update the app to work with this ? Saying not to update an iOS until you have made it compatible is useless. Banking apps and emergency health apps all advise to update iOS but not Abbot. You solution 6 weeks ago was to send a reader. What’s the point of having an app ?

Removes readings and pauses when hypo!!

The BIGGEST issue with this app is that it apparently CHOOSES to ‘pause’ readings even when the app has registered low blood sugar (ie, when you need it most) and also can be multiple times a day?! The app states this is for ‘continuous monitoring’ app improvement, but thats clearly just to cover up a repeated error. You should NOT provide an app which is able to repeatedly error and pause readings for 10 whole crucial minutes when hypo, and claim it’s for ‘monitoring’. Admit it’s a rubbish app and improve it! We NHS patients are forced to use it. If the app really does need to pause occasionally, it shouldn’t be able to do so when readings show as high or low!
The other huge issue is that it can register a high or low, repeatedly, for a long time, long enough to warrant correction,then wipe that data from the graph entirely through ‘averaging’. This means that the correction sugar or dose can result in more highs or lows, and appear unwarranted on the data.
When I was pregnant and was prescribed a different brand of CGM, I didn’t have these issues. That’s how I know them to be the fault of Abbott. I’ve tried to raise this with my medical team to help feed back from the NHS but they seem unable or unwilling. So frustrating!

Good overall but alarms need sorting

Very good overall but the alarms need sorting ! Constantly says out of range, also when you go high it alarms to warn you which is great, I do my correction dose which normally takes around an hour minimum to get me back in range, for that whole hour every 5 mins the app will alarm telling you the numbers are above range which is not useful at all as I can speed up the insulin. This needs a snooze for an hour button ! Forums online show both are major problems that lots of users experience so why have libre not sorted such simple issues ?

Poor performance

I’ve been waiting for the patch on iOS 26 since July 2025. I have now lost alarms and the reader and sensors lose signal all the time. It’s not good enough.
