### 3/5 — Issues

*2026-07-08, version 1.31.2*

Worked great for a long time. No matter what I do I can’t get readings on my iPhone locked screen anymore. This is so important for checking overnight readings with one glance.

### 5/5 — 完璧に近い！アップルウォッチにて使用

*2026-06-22*

アップルウォッチにてどうにかリブレリンクと連携させたくて、色々探してました。このアプリはiPhone及びアップルウォッチにて色々表示できて、凄く便利に活用しています。

### 5/5 — Best Display

*2026-06-08, version 1.31*

Anytime my blood sugar requires close monitoring I always put on my Sweet Dreams app. Love it because one quick glance gives me an understanding of my current status.

### 5/5 — Best app so far

*2026-05-27*

No glitches and very efficient. I have searching for an app which I could leave on display and this app does nicely. It also gives the option for notifications it can be adjusted to your needs or muted.
Thank you for your hard work in helping others making their live’s easier especially parents, carers and type1 diabetes users.
I’m using the free version and that’s more than enough, please keep it like this 😁

Thanks, you’re doing a fantastic job ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! We’re so glad it’s been helping you this much ❤️

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-05-27, version 1.31*

It’s so easy to use and I love how it shows how many points you’ve raised or lowered between readings

### 2/5 — Another subscription…

*2026-05-22, version 1.31*

Living with Type 1 diabetes is not cheap. Managing it shouldn’t be expensive. I’m absolutely turned off from apps that take advantage of diabetics who rely on tech to make their lives easier and more efficient. It shouldn’t cost a subscription to maintain readings of blood sugars that you already pay ALOT of money to keep in check. 

The app works great with my Dexcom g6, if you are still on that system. Apple CarPlay and other features are incredible, but again I’d rather pay a one time fee to unlock these features than pay subscriptions- this isn’t worth that and feels predatory.

### 5/5 — I love this

*2026-05-22*

The combination of having readings on my phone lock screen and also on my car play display is such a game changer. I don’t have to interrupt conversations or meetings opening my phone. And I can’t legally even touch my phone while driving….when I really need to keep track of things. This is a comfort, reassurance and safety upgrade. Thank you.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the review! We’re glad it has changed the game for you ☺️❤️

### 5/5 — great updates

*2026-05-16*

i’ve used this app for a couple months and was immediately impressed by the feature set. any issues i had with it were nothing compared to how much better it was than the apps that i had been using. 

then each subsequent update would fix even those tiny issues and now i don’t even know what to complain about :|

**Developer response:** Hey! Thank you so much for the review ❤️We’re super glad you have nothing to complain about  🤣 but we are open to any feedback!

### 5/5 — Allows BG level to be shown constantly on Apple Watch!

*2026-05-15*

I guess you can use this app to monitor a loved one's BG but for me, the best thing about it is that it allows your BG rating to be constantly displayed on your Apple Watch!

It works with Abbott's Freestyle Libre sensors (and others). You also have to install and setup the LibreLinkUp app first.

Until the Freestyle Libre apps get Apple Watch complications this is currently the only way to get your BG displayed on your watch, and it works great!

I've been dreaming of having my BG displayed on a wristwatch for like 30 years now!

And I actually find it unlikely that Abbott will ever release an Apple Watch complication, it's too difficult to setup and even more so there's too much liability. The reading on the watch can easily get out of sync with the phone app's reading.

So until their sensors can transmit to an Apple Watch directly with Bluetooth, I don't see it happening. Which makes this app even more vital!

**Developer response:** Glad you’re enjoying the watch app 😃😃 thanks for your review! 🧡

### 4/5 — Top !!

*2026-05-13*

Cette appli est bien faite, elle a changé notre vie en permettant le suivi du DEXCOM de notre petite fille

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the review! Glad it’s helped you out 💙💙

### 5/5 — The lock screen live activity is my single favorite feature of any app ever!

*2026-05-11, version 1.31*

It’s incredibly handy, especially the delta from the previous reading. Overall this app is reliable, beautiful, and clearly a labor of love for the developer.

### 5/5 — Game Changer for parents

*2026-05-08, version 1.31*

I couldn't be more grateful to the developers of this app. I can check my daughter's blood sugar simply by glancing at my phone or watch and on the Apple CarPlay in my car. It updates much quicker and stays updated better than the G7 app itself. Love it and thank you!

### 5/5 — Brilliant app for diabetics

*2026-05-08, version 1.31*

Sends my BG data to my Apple Watch and shows me my data in the car too. Ideal for keeping BG legal when driving!

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2026-05-08, version 1.31*

This app is great.  Thanks to the developers for such a useful and problem-free app. I’d give you ten stars if I could ⭐️

### 5/5 — My Numbers

*2026-05-07, version 1.31*

All is good~~~

### 1/5 — Didn’t work

*2026-06-27, version 1.31*

Tried this for a dexcom widget but it never worked, support never responded to email about it not working.

### 1/5 — Stopped working no help

*2026-06-21, version 1.31*

Hey if you get this app, it might just stop working! I assumed my subscription had ended; NOPE! Just another person who loves taking money from disabled people! COOL! ✨UPDATE✨ They are keeping my blood soaked money because that’s the way they stay rich and we stay poor! 💕🥹

### 1/5 — Worst App support!

*2026-06-16, version 1.31*

Have always wanted to have my sugar levels show in other ways so I downloaded this app. Followed all the instructions did not work contacted support. Got one question per email just continually told to follow the link and things that I had already done. Support was awful. I’ve deleted the app! Unfortunately, had to give it. One star would have love to give it nothing.

### 1/5 — Sad

*2026-06-05*

Very cool app but 3.99/month? Seriously? It’s just mirroring your existing CGM app. Yuck.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your feedback and review. The app is subscription-based due to a number of reasons:
- we have monthly server costs 
- we constantly update the app (every 2-3 months) so we’re always working on it 
- we’re a husband and wife who put in hours of work every everyday alongside our full time job 
- if your CGM is suddenly unsupported (due to restrictions from CGMs), you have the ability to cancel the subscription rather than have paid us a one-off and the app suddenly doesn’t work anymore and you don’t get your money’s worth. 

We absolutely understand the cost burden on diabetics, and we offer our help to anyone who reaches out to us, but what exactly is “yuck” about this? We are not just taking monthly fees and pocketing it, we are working on updating it constantly as well as paying the sever costs that keep the app running. 

Every diabetic product costs money (CGMs, skin patches etc), but once the product becomes digital, it’s scrutinised for some reason, even though the same amount of effort and time goes into it. We also try our best to make it really cheap, as low as $2 a month. 

We also don’t just mirror the CGM app, we have car play integration, extensive customisation to notifications, being able to see your real time reading on lock-screen, extra widgets, messaging integration, different notification profiles and many more things in the app. 

Thank you for your feedback and I hope this clears up the misinformation. If you have any questions, you can email us!

### 1/5 — Option multilingues

*2026-06-03*

Toujours pas de nouvelles de la mise à jour en plus l’application connaît un bug ces derniers temps. Bref c’est laborieux

**Developer response:** We’re looking into adding translations!

### 1/5 — Get this off your phone - NOW

*2026-04-27, version 1.30.1*

Even after turning off notifications in the iPhone app and removing from my MacBook, I still get notifications on my MacBook. Snooze doesn’t work either. ZERO links to customer support. This is essentially malware.

### 1/5 — Option multilingues

*2026-04-04*

L’option multilingues censée arriver avec la mise à jour pour permettre d’ajouter des langues pour les différents utilisateurs tarde toujours à apparaître, dommage .

**Developer response:** We’re looking into adding translations!

### 1/5 — Seems to have stopped working

*2026-03-16, version 1.30.1*

App doesn’t give up-to-date reading anymore on lock screen or Dynamic Island. I shouldn’t have to pay for a subscription that doesn’t work for what it is being paid for.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-02-20, version 1.30.1*

After multiple times are trying to re-link this app to LibreLinkUp it has failed every time and can’t be relied on. I had also paid for one year subscription that I’ll get that back. My advice stay well clear this app it’s not very good.

### 1/5 — Paywall for basic features

*2026-01-31, version 1.29.1*

Don’t really agree with charging to enable apple health sync/watch use and putting lock screen readings behind a paywall. It’s actually a lot of basic features behind a paywall. It’s predatory and I won’t be using this in the future.

### 5/5 — Total Game Changer 🧃✨

*2026-08-02*

As someone who has had T1D for almost 20 years and has little to no object permanence this has been a total life saver for me! Having my sugars easily available in front of me whether that’s on my lock screen, Apple Watch, or my car’s dash has been the biggest game changer! I’m no longer fumbling around with my phone apps or my pump to see what my sugar is. Knowledge is power and that’s especially true with diabetes! I feel safer, more aware, and more prepared. I can’t recommend this apps enough!!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the review! We’re so glad you feel that way about the app and happy to hear the positive impact it has had on you, it makes our day! 🧡🧡😁

### 5/5 — Fantastic blood sugar, tracking app

*2026-07-20, version 1.31.2*

I have a stepson who uses a Dexcom to track his blood sugar (T1 diabetic). This app is so useful and doesn’t take away from the number of followers that can track him. I love that I’m able to check not only his BS numbers, but also, the trends. Additionally, it allows me to stay on top of his BS and I’m able to dose his insulin more accurately and keep him in better ranges (ultimately making his A1c better).

### 5/5 — On Dexcom? You need this app

*2026-07-15*

Sweet Dreams makes the most of the phone's tech so keeping track of blood sugar is as easy and simple as possible. Live tracking from the lock screen, data presentation that's easy and fast to read and a responsive developer. Sweet Dreams is what I hoped the Dexcom G7 app would have been, rather than the steaming pile of junk it is. If you are on Dexcom, do yourself a favour and subscribe to Sweet Dreams.

### 5/5 — Amazing user interface and features.

*2026-07-06, version 1.31.2*

This app literally has everything I need and nothing cluttering up the screen. The live activities, Carplay interface and customizable alerts are perfect. PLEASE feature an option to track more than one user as both my sons are T1D and there is nothing on the market other than Dexcom Follow (which is a dumpster fire of an app) that allows tracking multiple users.

### 5/5 — Game changer

*2026-06-30, version 1.31.2*

This app allows me not to be in my phone all the time. Seeing readings without unlocking my phone is absolutely fantastic. I can also set alarms at my chosen levels instead of the limited range I had before. I’m so grateful to the makers. I don’t pay for many apps but this is a bargain so if you can afford it, I’d really recommend it.

### 5/5 — Flawless

*2026-06-30, version 1.31.2*

Excellent app. Recently started on Omnipod 5 with Libre 2 Plus and this was a game changer!

Made it so easy to see my sugars everywhere, including a live view on my watch, and even in the car.

Excellent use of iOS technologies to provide a flawless experience that the big diabetes tech companies can’t.

Thank you!

### 5/5 — 優れたアプリ

*2026-06-30*

この手のアプリでは断トツでいいと思いますが、日本語表示できれば言うこと無いですし、さらにこのアプリを使用する人が増えると思います。またApplewatchとの連携がとても良いです。

### 5/5 — Brilliant App

*2026-06-30*

I have used this app for over a year now and it genuinely amazes me how well it works. The live activity feature makes viewing readings so convenient, the fact it syncs across my phone and watch meaning I don’t need to constantly check my sensor is such a relief. 

And then what it makes it better, the developers keep this app well maintained and always strive to add new features. I appreciate what yous have created!

### 5/5 — The missing app for CGM

*2026-06-26*

This app is undoubtedly the best choice for monitoring CGM if you’re using Libre and iOS. It offers seamless tracking of your glucose levels and integrates perfectly with Apple Health, filling the crucial gap left by the standard Freestyle Libre app. Thanks for making this possible!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your nice words 🙌🥰 we try to fill the gaps as much as possible :)

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2026-06-25, version 1.31*

T1 for 55 years - seen lots of innovation in my time and this is up there with some of the best in terms of actually helping manage things better. Thank you
