The only change is the app ( new app and new sensor ) I have lost confidence in your sensors to deliver a reliable and accurate result. I have been asked to verify your sensor by going back to blood pricks . If go to blood pricking , there is no need to have your sensor . Your system is great advance with obvious upside, but i need a result that i can rely upon so i can make decisions about my health . **Developer response:** We'd like to follow up with you.

Thank you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Be careful!! *2026-10-23* You will not have access to you data from previous app versions within the app. Historical data is only available from the portal! App insights restart so you lose your GMI/HBA1C except getting your records online. Not good enough. ### 1/5 — Data Entry *2026-10-18* Just started using the Libre3 and this app. I don’t particularly like that the data has to be separately entered, I much prefer LibreLink were everything could be entered on the one page. But being able to see the time in range graph on the Libre app is pretty cool. I will be going back to Libre 2+ and LibreLink. **Developer response:** Thanks for letting us know. We appreciate the feedback. ### 1/5 — So much worse *2026-10-11* The alarms on this app are too loud and intrusive to use! I was give a Libre 3 sensor to try and had to download this app to use it. Will be going back to the old app as soon as this sensor expires. Will be looking for a new system if the old app changes its alarm **Developer response:** Thanks for letting us know. We appreciate the feedback. ### 1/5 — Letdown *2026-10-04* Says everywhere that the history from the previous app with update instantly when logged in to the same account. And of course it didn’t. Called the support line and nothing happened and still. Or resolved. Don’t encourage us to go to the new app if it doesn’t work properly. **Developer response:** Thanks for letting us know. We appreciate the feedback. ### 1/5 — What not right in the new version *2026-09-26* Although the new version has some advantages, it has lost flexibility and it slower to navigate. The loss most important that was helping my doctor was the HbA1c measure, which was using blood to measure. GMI is a calculated measure and can be, is not reliable **Developer response:** Thanks for letting us know. We appreciate the feedback. ### 1/5 — Ugly and clunky *2026-09-24* Ugly to look at. Adding meals, bolus insulin, basal insulin, exercise, and notes are all now separate things making using the app take upwards of five times as long just to keep your records up to date, and the logbook is borderline unreadable. A downgrade over LibreLink except for the predictive alarm **Developer response:** Thanks for letting us know. We appreciate the feedback. ### 2/5 — Less functionality *2026-10-01* The new app does not allow you to scan an insulin pen. Does not give me accurate data recording. **Developer response:** Thanks for letting us know. We appreciate the feedback. ### 3/5 — Font size *2026-10-17* Overall the app is ok but it is so hard to use when the font is so small and not bold. Diabetics with poor vision like me will have a real problem seeing the info it provides. **Developer response:** We'd like to follow up with you.

Thank you! ### 3/5 — Average *2026-09-27* The old app was significantly less glitchy. Not loosing connection as often. Also the fact that high and low alarms were not automatically on when you first downloaded it was a questionable decision by Libre… **Developer response:** Thanks for letting us know. We appreciate the feedback. ### 3/5 — Different *2026-09-26* There are parts that are much better than the last app, but also parts I used all the time that are no longer available. Biggest disappointment is that it doesn’t carry data over from previous app even though you log into your account **Developer response:** Thanks for letting us know. We appreciate the feedback. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Far from perfect app *2026-10-19* Since changing to the new app I’ve been having my sensor drop out every 5-10 minutes the old app was so much better I think this one has missed the boat **Developer response:** Thanks for letting us know. We appreciate the feedback. ### 5/5 — Libre 2 *2026-10-17* I have used the LibreLink app for several years and am very happy with its performance and data that it gives me to enable me to manage me health the main annoyance is how often the signal drops out I have only used the Libre 2 app for several weeks and think that it could be a really useful tool for me and the medical team looking after my health There has been a considerable reduction in signal loss incidents and I like the glucose reading , notes , and the worm on the same screen so I can see the trends **Developer response:** Thanks for your comment - we're glad to hear you find the app helpful! ### 5/5 — A lot better than the old app *2026-09-29* The new app links to an Apple watch and allows you to easily check the BGL graph when you get an alarm. It is more stable and the Home Screen allows you to set the time scale of the plot. Plus all the old remote cloud data sharing and monitoring functions remain. It is way easier to use and will be far easier to learn for new users compared to the old app. **Developer response:** Thanks for your comment - we're glad to hear you find the app helpful! ### 5/5 — Libre *2026-09-21* They go off line from time to time and the 2 plus sensors have a higher failure rate than type 1 did. That aside make a massive difference to not having them to the point I feel lost when 1 breaks and I don’t have a replacement at hand **Developer response:** We'd like to follow up with you.

Thank you! ### 5/5 — 5 star *2026-09-04* So impressed with the new Libre app - the connectivity even seems better. 5 stars **Developer response:** Thank you - we are glad to hear you are enjoying the app! ### 5/5 — Fantastic Improvements *2026-09-02* Great new design, and great to have Apple Watch app now. **Developer response:** Thank you - we are glad to hear you are enjoying the app! ### 4/5 — Improvement to graphs *2026-10-16* Good app. It would to be great for glucose level graphs to have the functionality, that the user can tap and see the exact reading at any given point, much like they have on stock price graphs. ### 4/5 — New application *2026-09-21* Downloaded the new application about 10 days ago and still getting used to it So far so good One improvement? I would like is for the ability to select what type of meal I was taking. **Developer response:** Thanks for letting us know. We appreciate the feedback. ### 4/5 — Appreciate the improvements! *2026-09-15* I really appreciate having an Apple Watch app now! If possible, it would be even better if the Watch complication could show the glucose level, instead of just launching the app **Developer response:** Thanks for the suggestion. We are continuing to improve the app and we will look in to this. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
