### 3/5 — Good Application

*2026-03-29, version 5.0.0*

Seems at first glance that it’s a good application with many different watch complication options.
The new rectangular complication will not automatically update.(works when forced)
This application seems not to be supported because the developer is not responding to my emails.

### 4/5 — Great Application

*2026-03-19, version 5.0.0*

Good application with many different options. 
Well done developer.
The new rectangular complication will not update.
Is this application supported as the developer is not responding to my emails.

### 2/5 — Apple Watch

*2026-03-08, version 5.0.0*

The app wants me to log in using my watch but won’t allow me to enter the password on my iPhone. I have a 25 character password which is almost impossible to enter on the watch keyboard.

### 2/5 — Not for Dexcom

*2026-02-21, version 5.0.0*

This was my mistake tbh it sounded just like what I needed for my Apple Watch and I rushed to download it then realised it’s only for libre.  Hopefully something similar becomes available for dexcom

### 2/5 — Apple Health

*2025-12-05, version 4.7.0*

This app has a big disadvantage that doesn’t show any data on Apple Health and Siri cannot tell you your blood sugar level and need to be fixed ASAP

### 2/5 — Can’t login

*2025-10-20, version 4.7.0*

I’ve tried a dozen times but can’t log in with my Libre View credentials.

### 3/5 — Simple app- Watch works, Apple Health doesn’t.

*2025-09-14, version 4.6.2*

This app meant for 2 things. It allows you view your blood glucose on your Apple Watch and it exports those numbers to Apple Health. Currently this app successfully displays to the watch but Apple Health does not work no matter what you do. Also tapping the cloud to force export does nothing with no feedback either. It’s a simple app. I hope that the Apple Health functionality is corrected in any upcoming updates. When those 2 functions are working along with its simplicity, this is easily a 5 star app.

### 2/5 — Logon

*2025-08-21, version 4.6.2*

What is the guest account login to connect?  I want to use this app

### 4/5 — Works Great

*2025-08-20, version 4.6.2*

I haven’t been using this app for a long time but so far I’m impressed. I have several compilations on my watch face so I added this to my watch face and can constantly see my reading on my watch. It doesn’t appear to be able to do updates minute by minute but just a simple touch of my watch face and I get most current sensor reading, Down the app from the App Store, it won’t show as a app on your phone, just go to the watch app and scroll down you’ll see GlucoWatch and follow the instructions 
You will need a LibreLink account from another device or if you share your reading with someone else. 
Sign into your LibreLink account and things should work out

### 3/5 — Alarms Don’t Seem to Work

*2025-08-20, version 4.6.2*

I have activated the notifications in the app and they don’t seem to notify low or high blood glucose events. Otherwise the App is good.

### 1/5 — Won’t open

*2025-07-22, version 4.6.2*

Downloaded and just says purchased

### 1/5 — Purchased but…..

*2025-07-20, version 4.6.2*

I purchased this app, however the icon didn’t download onto my iPhone or watch. What the heck???!!!???

### 1/5 — Can’t log in

*2026-05-30, version 5.0.0*

The app worked for a while and I loved it since I was able to get the Libre 3 reading from my S25 ultra onto my iPhone using this app! For some reason the app no longer logs in using my Librelinkup credentials. I changed my password for the Librelinkup several time and it still won’t log in! The Librelinkup works fine on both my iPhone and S25 ultra. I am now using the iPhone to connect to the Libre 3 plus CGM, but I would like to use this app to connect to my Apple Health.

### 1/5 — Purchased is grayed out

*2026-02-28, version 5.0.0*

Purchased is grayed out and won’t download.  Did as instructed on Apple Watch, nothing.  Completely worthless.

### 1/5 — Can’t login

*2025-11-06, version 4.7.0*

I’ve tried a dozen times but can’t log in with my Libre View credentials so I am deleting this app.

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2025-10-13, version 4.7.0*

I have tried to get support so many times and have been ignored. My application quit working and won’t acknowledge my password, which was saved. I have uninstalled and tried again with no success. I only wish there was support as I did enjoy the convenience when it worked

### 1/5 — Oops

*2025-08-21, version 4.6.2*

Thought this app didn’t need a separate glucometer. Looks like it does but I had already purchased and no refund available 😖 And it didn’t download.

### 1/5 — Dont work

*2025-08-15, version 4.6.2*

Dont work

### 1/5 — Will not load

*2025-08-08, version 4.6.2*

Unable to load after payment. Poor tech support

### 1/5 — Junk app

*2025-08-07, version 4.6.2*

Won't connect to my watch.  Been trying for weeks following all the instructions.  Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Since the update to LibreLinkUp week of 7/25, no longer communicates with Glucowatch

*2025-07-27, version 4.6.2*

Since the update to LibreLinkUp week of 7/25, no longer communicates with Glucowatch. Any ideas or fixes?

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2025-07-23, version 4.6.2*

This app does not work. I downloaded it to my watch but all it does is list “how to” with vague instructions about “using this guest account.”  But, there is no way to move beyond this to link with my Libre3 or LibreLinkUp apps. No menu appears, just te same read below/how to link. Very frustrating!

### 5/5 — An Excellent App

*2026-08-12, version 5.0.0*

I think app is fantastic. It works very well and I can see my blood sugars on my watch very clearly. I am very grateful to the person who put the app together it makes a big difference to my daily life and trying to control my diabetes. ThANK YOU

### 5/5 — Libre 3 plus user

*2026-07-04, version 5.0.0*

I’ve really like this app. I totally overlooked the add data to apple health in the options. This app is providing two functions that were not included in the Libre app. Very good job for a solo project.

### 5/5 — Works for wonderfully

*2026-01-02, version 4.7.0*

This is a really well put together app that works very well, I love the complication it offers for your watch faces and it just works, not much else to say about it except thank you for making it.

### 5/5 — Fantastic tool

*2025-12-24, version 4.7.0*

There are so many situations where checking your numbers on your watch is so much easier and safer than using the phone, this app is so important to my life, love it

### 5/5 — Better then I expected

*2025-09-20, version 4.7.0*

Only runs on Apple Watch, however, once synced with my LibreLinkUp, it shows as a watch complication AND will sync to Apple Health dashboard.

### 5/5 — Brill

*2025-09-10, version 4.6.2*

Just downloaded this and it’s a game changer. Got it as a complication on watch. Loving it

### 5/5 — Just downloaded

*2025-08-23, version 4.6.2*

So far very pleased. I’m a senior on a tight budget so I hope you appreciate my small contribution. Keep up the great work!

### 5/5 — GlucoWatch and Abbot Libre 3 Sensor

*2025-07-28, version 4.6.2*

I was very pleased to discover this app. It serves as a bridge between the Libre Link Up app. If you are blind or low vision, Voiceover will read your glucose number but it will not read the arrow direction indicator. I hope this bug will be fixed in future versions.

### 5/5 — Need help reconnecting

*2025-07-05, version 4.6.2*

I was using the glucose watch with the Libre 3 plus CGM and it was working great. I recently switched Libre 2 plus  because I started the Tandem T slim pump and now it doesn’t show up on my watch. How can I get it to show up on my watch now that I’m using a pump.  Thank you fit smu guidence.  It is a great app.

### 5/5 — Works with LibreLink

*2025-06-19, version 4.6.2*

i use only the simplest of features on my libre 3 plus. i had the dexcom 7 and app prior to this and quite happy. even made a donation. unfortunately, when I rebooted my watch, it logged me out of glucowatch. now i cannot login because it is difficult to type on the watch keyboard. Handwriting recognition it’s not easy either. It would be nice if the app popped up the keyboard input on the iPhone. Watch apps.
