The FreeStyle LibreLink app is approved for use with FreeStyle Libre and FreeStyle Libre 2 system sensors. You can check your glucose by scanning your sensor with your phone.

To receive alarms on your phone, you must start the sensor with the app. To receive alarms on your FreeStyle Libre 2 reader, you must start the sensor with your reader. Once the sensor has been started with the reader, you can also scan that sensor with your phone. Remember that the app and reader do not share data with each other.

I then use another sensor and start it with the Abbott reader! Abbott need to get ontop of the changing IOS upgrades. When I have called Abbott, they state that IOS updates are hard to catch up with, so use an Abbott reader. libre 2 is not available on Apple Watch but Dexcom One+ is. I am,after 3 years considering self funding to Dexcom One+ until Abbott can iron out small problems. ### 3/5 — Good but… *2026-07-30, version 2.13.1* It’s alright, but it needs updating a lot, the freestyle librelinkup app is amazing, my partner’s app (librelinkup) is a million times better than mine and it makes no sense, this app feels outdated clunky and missing features like being able to scroll and see your blood sugar levels in detail etc ### 1/5 — Updates *2026-07-24, version 2.13.1* Could the developers please ensure the app is regularly updated alongside iOS updates? Falling behind on updates can affect my ability to receive alerts related to hypos, as my readings may not sync properly. Otherwise, the app functions well when everything is aligned.The app is not documenting any of the hypos I have been having- huge concern as I have had 7 in a week! Do something please 🙏🏽 ### 5/5 — Incredibly useful *2026-07-18, version 2.13.1* Some reviews are quite negative about losing signal, and it has happened a couple of times, but a quick tap\rescan fixes that. What would be very useful would be a widget for the Home Screen so it’s more accessible. ### 3/5 — The app still fails to stay connected to the sensor and the graph is inaccurate. *2026-07-16, version 2.13.1* The app still fails to stay connected to the sensor and sometimes sends a sensor ended early message… but it is still working. This needs to be fixed! The graph averages readings when for example, low blood sugar alarms, and the recovers, the graph redraws and the readings are lost. How can one tell the highs and lows if it keeps averaging results. Once a read measurement point is on the graph is should not be moved EVER! ### 1/5 — Slow to update *2026-07-16, version 2.13.1* Changed my sensor yesterday and the app will not recognise it. Abbott operator says they have not yet updated their software to match latest os software!! ### 1/5 — Bluetooth *2026-07-16, version 2.13.1* My husband has installed the app on his iPhone . We have checked compatibility and should be ok . However when he opens the app in settings there is no bluetooth permission button so he is unable to get any alarms . ### 1/5 — Bad and dangerous! *2026-07-16, version 2.13.1* A few times now it’s been alarming me with 3.3. I’m checking prick in finger and it’s 11.1!! Then LibreLinkUp showing like 6-8. It’s like it just randomly loses connection and then assume that’s low or something. Idiots never care to build a stable app! ### 3/5 — Not great *2026-07-14, version 2.13.1* Ok most the time but just done Apple update and it’s gone weird. Often seem to have to delete and reinstate the app after an update which is really annoying. Alerts not working and yes they are on. Doesn’t show me my current reading without me scanning. Also I’ve had some libres just shut down for no reason except for safety. ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-07-13, version 2.13.1* Cannot link up with Librelinkup. Both emails created while in UK but it says ‘You can only share with accounts in your geographic region.’ The graphs are fixed and you cannot change units. You need to get this app better otherwise the devices are useless ## Frequently asked questions about FreeStyle LibreLink ### Does FreeStyle LibreLink have ads?
