Updates not coming often enough

I like the app and it works as intended. However, they warn against upgrading your operating system for compatibility reasons. As of today 8/6/26 its last update was reported as 3 months ago and freestyle ADC website only guaranteed compatibility up to ios 26.4. My settings is now reminding me to install 26.6! Whats going on with Abbot’s crack IT team?

This app is great! Very intuitive and easy to navigate.

Continuous ERRORS

This thing constantly drops out even when phone is next to it and usually at the most important times it looses signal for over an hour! The first device they had to send me a replacement cause it was a DUD so make sure you buy 2 always in case that’s happens!!! They should prob give discounts for those issues so people ca make sure to be covered in case they get a dud . That’s dangerous! It also glitches when adding notes even when you specify the dates and times it automatically adds it to the current day it’s super annoying to have to constantly edit and remember because that’s the whole point of taking notes !

Sucks battery dry

The latest version of this app all of a sudden started sucking the battery dry by running in the background all the time. It’s a bug a previous version of this app did not have the problem. Please fix.

Inaccurate

It is always significantly lower than a fingerpick check. I don’t get it. Everyone is raving about this yet it is completely inaccurate for me
