Great App

I wish there was a one-time option for supporting the developer financially instead of a monthly “subscription” option.

Genuinely a fantastic app, and exactly what I needed

It’s hard for me to stay aware of my blood sugar during my busy day without turning on every possible alarm and alert for my Dexcom. It keeps me aware without being invasive and anxiety-inducing. Just having my blood sugar + trending arrow at the top of my screen in the dynamic island and the notification center has genuinely changed my time in range significantly. Definitely excels over Dexcom’s widget choices (or lack of). Fantastic app with customization options, and it’s done without being too complicated or too simple. Quite nice looking/feeling UI too!! The only “in-app purchase” is an optional monthly donation to the dev, which I was very glad to see and contribute to (absolutely NONE of the app’s features are behind a paywall). Compatible with multiple CGM systems, and with iPhones, iPads, AND Apple Watch. Big fan of the watch face widget, so even when I’m busy I can check on my sugar by glancing at my wrist. I can’t say I’ve ever written a review on the App Store, but I’m just so overjoyed that this app is useful, functional, easy to use, well-designed, AND completely free. Much much much love from me and my doctors <33

Must have for quick CGM monitoring

I use this to track my teenager’s level and its way better than the stock Dexcom app. The live activity syncs seamlessly to my watch and my Mac on the latest OS versions. Great implementation, great app. Thank you!

Unable to log in

I love this app. Simple and easy but a few days ago I haven’t been able to log in. Just says that something went wrong try later. I’ve deleted it and I am entering the right info and nothing. PLEASE FIX 😭

Fantastic CGM companion with one small feature request

Overall, Luka works really well. The seamless Dexcom G7 sign-in is a huge plus; no annoying third-party accounts required like other apps force you to do.

However, the Home Screen widgets could use some refinement. On the widget with the graph line, the blood glucose reading is too small to read at a quick glance. While the large-number widget fixes the text size, it lacks the graph line entirely, and neither Home Screen widget shows the delta (+/- change).

The Lock Screen widget already nails the perfect combination of data, including the delta, which is critical when working out or doing tasks around the house. Please consider bringing that exact functionality and layout to the Home Screen widgets!

Follow app syncing?

Can this be used with Dexcom follow app as I am a T1D parent and would like to have access to these widgets?

Follow app - Dexcom

Highly recommend. We use this for following with Dexcom.

Anstieg oder Sinken

Neuerdings erscheint in der Anzeige nur noch + oder - 0. Vorher wurde Anstieg oder Sinken mit Wert angegeben.

Absolutely amazing!

Love the app! Its live activity restarts on its own and it does the work that not even the original dexcom app does on my iPhone. You can see the real time numbers on the dynamic island and also your lock screen and the best part it also displays the minutes when it was last refreshed. Definitely recommended especially for iPhone users.

Perfekt für Dexcom

Was ist das denn bitte für eine tolle App?! Was eigentlich von Dexcom für Apple Watch, Homescreen, Notch und Co. kommen sollte, gibts hier einfach für Lau! DANKE DAFÜR!

Great app!

Great app but how do you change the readings on watch to mmol/L. I have been able to do it on my phone but not on the watch. Thank you

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.

Great on iPhone but watch app not functional

Great alternative to Dexcom interface. But I’d hoped it would offer a more reliable and useful way to monitor glucose via Apple Watch. While it’s possible to install Luka, the app itself doesn’t open and just crashes instantly. Any updates/advice on this would be excellent. Thanks for all your work!

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.
