User reviews

First time use

Better than described. Nice that they combined the sensor and connector in one device and two thumbs up because I was skeptical of using the back of my arm for sensor placement.

Freezing

I like the app however it has been freezing after updates and I have to reset and then it requires me to change out my sensor. I can’t continue to afford doing that

Otherwise I love it

Cybj

Not reliable

I love having the information from Libra but it loses its signal too often and also has been off in reading. Not reliable
