Way better than Dexcom

The UI issues with the G7 widgets and the consistent way the G7 doesn’t update reliably on Apple Watch drove me crazy for years. Luka is a complete game changer, works so much more reliably. The UI is elegant and practical.

Unbelievable

Clearly made by someone who truly cares unlike Dexcom’s so called “widget”. Thank you.

Millions thank you for that app

So important to see level of sugar for kid. Thank you for make this application

Love the app but the latest update messed up reliability.

This app is simply amazing. I appreciate the dev’s willingness to improve it but the latest update causes it to fail frequently. Go back to the previous version!

Much better than the Dexcom app

I really like the Mac app too

Response from developer

Hi there! Widgets are given a limited "refresh" budget, and Luka tries to refresh as often as possible. When you first add a widget, the system gives it a smaller budget, but if it's viewed often, it's given more refreshes, so over time you should see this improve. You can also set up the widgets to refresh when you tap them. Let me know if you're still seeing issues. Thanks!

Does what Dexcom can’t

This has a nice clean UI and widgets that are clear and useful. As a parent of a T1D child, I can finally have a graph on my watch and everywhere else I need them.
My one request is for a night mode. It’s a bit (a lot) bright at night. 😄

Response from developer

Luka should support dark mode - it'll match the device settings. Let me know if you'd like a dedicated toggle in the settings, you can reach out to me through the settings!

Not working

Since the upgrade Luka doesn’t work!

Response from developer

I'm sorry to hear you're having issues! If you reach out to me (there's a button in the Settings of the app) I'd be happy to help out. Sometimes the app stops working when Dexcom Share has service outages. If the issue resolved itself, would you consider updating your rating?

Wunderbare App

Im Gegensatz zu anderen kostenlos. Funktion ist wie es bei dem CGM Herstellern zusätzlich sein sollte.
Das Update mit Live Activity gefällt mir sehr gut. Ich kann meine Werte auf dem Sperrbildschirm und oben Bildschirm ablesen.

Since recent update, live activities not working reliably

I found this app after Sugarmate became unusable. It is awesome. And free. The Apple Watch complication is better than what Dexcom offers with its follow app. The dev even made a widget for the Mac. Thank you!

UPDATE: the addition of live activities to this app is amazing. I can’t believe the dev doesn’t charge for this. The app should get 7 stars.

Widgets don't work

I really like the Mac app, but the home screen & watch widgets just never work

Good :)

On my Apple Watch and on my widgets & lockscreen I find it more reliable than the Dexcom app..! Very nice.

Amazing love this app

This app has improved my life with supporting my 18month old son I wish I could donate .

Thank you for making this . So greatful

Great app

Thanks for making this

Amazing. Don’t change.

I just want to thank the devs for this app first and foremost. It’s 100% free. No subscription payments needed, and works amazingly. Clean UI. This means a lot. T1Ds have it bad enough already by getting nickel and dimed at every turn to pay for extra things to simply stay alive. I really appreciate when something like this comes out because it’s tools like this that honestly improve our lives a little more.

Thank you.

If I may add one request if you find the ability to do so in the future — I’m not sure if it’s possible, but if you can have the app ping for updates more frequently so that the widget stays up to the date that would be wonderful. It is usually incorrect similar to Dexcom widget and requires a tap to update it in order to see your current glucose.

Would love to see an “always on” option as well that can both display a notification on the lock screen as well as a constant glucose update in the island.

Just some ideas. And if you do choose to require payment for future iterations of the app please consider a one-time payment rather than a subscription model.

Can’t use app if Dexcom username is a phone number

I’d love to use this app but it says I can only do so if I use an email as my username through Dexcom. When I go to Dexcom to change my username from my phone number to an email address, it says I can’t change my username. So it seems I cannot use this app at all. Too bad for me; it looks like just what I’ve been looking for.

Response from developer

Really sorry to hear that. This was a limitation when I built the app, but I've heard reports that using a phone number may work now. Can you try logging with your phone number, using a plus sign, the country code, then number (e.g., +1 (555) 555-5555 would be formatted +15555555555)

mmol/L Support

App looks very good, but there is no support for mmol/L even though shown in settings.

Response from developer

I'm sorry you're running into issues! Changing the setting is working fine for me when I test it out. Widgets may take a moment to refresh, and if you have tap-to-refresh enabled for them, refreshing them should make it update to mmol/L immediately.

AMAZING

Wish I could give this 100 stars. Been looking for something like this for AGES… and it’s free?! Please add a tip jar because this app is perfection.
