Canceled

Unable to use this app because it says that my sensor is being used by another device, but it’s not and I cancel the regular libre app, but this app still won’t work

New app for Libre cgm

The graphics are nice, being able to silence alarms for a period is nice, would like to silence them for more than 6 hours, liked the option of adding notes in previous apps.

App is absolute garbage

I’ve changed my review and have gone from 3 start to 1 (I would give it 0 if I could) this app is absolutely garbage. Over 30 minutes trying to start a new sensor. The app is unresponsive, crashes, fails to load, gets stuck behind accept screen that don’t load or are invisible. I appalled that this was even approved by Apple to be in the App Store with how buggy this software is. An app that is used for the absolute health and wellbeing of people the QC for it should be the top most priority. But I bet abbot is either farming its development out to the lowest cost bidder in some other country or vibe coding it and not doing any checks. There should be a class action lawsuit filed because this can lead to people deaths. Apple you need to review this immediately.

Bugs

I have used Libre 3 app before which worked fine. This one seems to be the new Libre app. It does not give me the option to connect my account to this app and keeps giving me an error message that this feature is not available since you’re not connected to the account. I tried chatting with a human agent and they could not fix it.

Libre Plus 3

I was forced to use this because Humana wouldn’t cover the Stelo CGM. Stelo has a lot more features like connecting my Apple Watch my health app. I literally could scroll on my glucose readings for a week. The only thing I like is the minute by minute measurement.

Update: I’m also getting false readings during sleep since as soon as I wake up my glucose readings increase from a low of 58 to in the 90’s. Likely from sleeping on it. Never happened with the Stelo.

Horrible system

The system loses communication constantly. I wear a sensor for fifteen days and I am lucky that if I get 1 full day of readings during the fifteen days. Honestly believe that it will be easier and more reliable to go back to finger sticks. I am beyond frustrated and will cancel my prescription. Would not recommend this system at all.

Gloria

It helps me to know in advance how I’m doing with my numbers thank God for one less thing I have to always worry about great job I’m loving it so far.

Sensor is great, but…

I’m absolutely happy with the Libre 3+ device but this app is HORRIBLE! The features are fine, the reporting is great, all the features are fantastic, but the app is SUPER laggy, tap a button then wait for 10-20 seconds for the app to respond or straight crash. I wish they had taken some of the profit from these sensors and used it to develop a better performing app.

Signal

It was a signal all the time it’s been more time reconnecting

Accuracy

I’m lucky that I have a glucometer because my sensor is always off by about 30 points. However, because that’s pretty consistent I can better gauge my actual levels.

There’s an error in the app, l can’t log in

I can't log in because the verification code isn't arriving. The problem is a formatting bug: the number shows as +7 8XXXXXXXXX (with an extra 8 after +7). Please remove the extra digit so the SMS can go through.

Libre 3

Im not really fond of this sensor they need to make it to where the sticky part is. Thicker. Sensor is small love it, but the sticky part needs to be thicker. Maybe it would stay and hold better. Also I’m not sure if it has been tested with women going through perimenopause or menopause.

Keeps losing connection, at least 20 times a day, so it is Not doing its job.

Not keeping the connection, so not working half the time. This doesn’t wirk for me..

Easy!

Thought this would be hard to set up and work, not at all! Love all the info it provides especially how the food you eat impacts the glucose. Great App!

Sad most of the time

These do not work properly have the time will not read or scan not worth the time

User

It keeps losing signal???! Need assistance please

Libra 3 plus and so convenient

Best yet. Reading at any time. Helps me thru the day.

Buggy

Unfortunately it quits on its own and has frequent signal lost issues. Previous app didn’t have these issues.

Upset

I get to Libre‘s a month and when I picked up my prescription I came home. I did wash my arm dried. It cleaned it with alcohol. Did that dry when I opened my first kit to put it on I noticed that the needle in the middle was spent over I tried to put it on and it said it was an invalid reading at the sensor was not working. I opened the second one that one was OK. I put it on since I put it on. it has not been accurate. And reading my blood sugar it’s giving me all different kinds of numbers. That’s not what my sugar is. I’m constantly having to steal test. It myself to see what it is because I can’t depend on the Libre freestyle so it’s very upsetting having something that’s not working properly. I try to give it a couple days. Maybe I need to unfortunately is not I just tested my sugar my blood sugar when I tested it was 110 the Libre freestyle says I’m 90 so it’s definitely off of what my real blood sugar is and that can be dangerous because they can give me a false reading and I can have a sugar drop or have my sugar elevated some I’m very upset with this product

This is app along the devices are a game changer in blood glucose management. App stays on point. Not a single issue after 5 days of use.
