Amazing

IM so glad to have this tool to help me better understand how to manage my blood sugar as a newly dx

My CGM

I love this and FINALLY I HAVE BETTER CONTROL OF MY SUGAR DIABETES

Not sure if the accuracy

I’ve only had it on a few days and I’m still not quite sure about its accuracy when recording my blood sugar levels.

Lifesaving

Knowing my blood sugar at any minute without a finger prick is the best. Seeing trends in my phone is so helpful. The alarms are very helpful. Libre 3 has given me much better control of my blood sugar.

Needs to link to Apple Health

It’s very disappointing that you have to try and find a third party app to link to Apple Health. I want a one stop shop for all the details. In addition this app needs better insights and logging details. It’s very vague and doesn’t offer nearly the depth of other CGM.

Single user app does not allow switching between two phones

We are using the freestyle 2 CGM for a glucose curve on a dog. It is impossible to reattach a Libre View account once the second owner has connected to it in order to monitor the dogs glucose., But the app needs to be deleted and re-downloaded. It cannot be reconnected to any View account. This is 1990s technology and needs to be updated stat.

Libre 3 plus

It disconnects frequently and fortunately reconnects

Update Problems

I’ve been using this app for over three years. Initially, I had trouble getting used to it. But recently they made a major update that I just am not happy with. I tried contacting the company and no one got back to me about my problem. The problem is that every time you enter your carb count there’s a little note at the bottom that you can note what it was that you ate and you can even put the carbs individually in parentheses after each item but it’s a straightforward text line. That still exists in the Phone app, but in the report reports that I get from the webpage which used to contain them they’re now gone, so I have no way of keeping a record of that unless I scroll one by one backwards in my phone.
This is too laborious and annoying to me. Someone needs to fix this and get them back through what it was. PLEASE.

Inaccurate readings frequently

I switched from Dexcom 7 to Libre 3 Plus based on Abbott’s brand reputation. Unfortunately Libre is not as accurate as I was expecting. The readings jump way up to way down within minutes, confusing me as to how I am supposed to keep tract of my actual reading compared to the finger-stick blood test.

Awesome

It’s a lifesaver. Such an awesome invention and fantastic app

Lots of connection loss & false lows

App won’t scan sensors

The app usually stalls within use and lags on taking data and needs to be restarted often. When it does work it does provide some useful insights.

The latest issue is that it won’t scan my new sensors. It just errs out. And said that sensor could not be scanned. Restated the phone and app few times with same result. Try updating the app but no update was available.

Awesome

I’m loving the plus version and app! Especially the ai feature to analyze and tell you how what you’re eating will affect your glucose! Awesome!

Ok

Ok

This app is terrible

This new app is terrible, it losses signal so often, at least 8 out of 10 times I open it it has a signal loss and I have to constantly open and close several times for its signal to read once again.

Please Add Widgets and Live Activities

The app is good, but it would be much better if you added iPhone widgets and Live Activities with Dynamic Island support. This would make it easier to see glucose readings in real time without opening the app. I hope you add these features in a future update.

The device works great! 👍👍👍 Thank you sooooo much

No way to silence some alarms

My sensor ripped off my arm then to add insult to injury the app would keep chiming that the sensor wasn’t working no matter what setting in or out of the app I used. I ended up turning off my phone while I worked to stop hearing it. Then when I turned my phone back on it was like every alert that should have gone off during that time did, in rapid succession. It would be nice if acknowledging and clearing the alert actually turned it off.

Update 10/8/26: Silence alerts now only mutes the sound, you still get the alert and it’s annoying as hell. I silenced them about 10 minutes ago because I had just eaten shortly before they started and there is a lag between that, the sensor, and the app. Here I am trying to listen to music on my headphones and I have Siri announcing in my ears the text of the notifications that shouldn’t be showing for the next 6 hours. Your app developers should wear your sensors and be forced to use your app. Maybe then they’ll make it useful or at least be fully quiet when the warning has been acknowledged.
