### 4/5 — Great Application

*2026-03-14, version 6.3.0*

Shows more than the dedicated application and also works with watch when supplier UK application doesn’t.
Only issue I have is watch complication updates.
I think this is due to iOS restrictions.
Other than that well done developer.

### 3/5 — No connections- no fix after weeks

*2026-02-06, version 6.3.0*

App updated to ignore old transmitters, but I no longer can find my new transmitter in the bluetooth search. It simply never connects, despite 20+ attempts and ways to try and get it to find it, including restarting my phone, force closing and then deleting and reinstalling the app and still nothing. Hope this is able to be fixed soon as this app was fantastic.

EDIT: It has been 6+ weeks, and I still have to delete the app, reinstall it, turn bluetooth off and on multiple times, before it ever connects- and still, it’s about 24 straight hours of fiddling with settings and reinstalling before anything connects, and no updates to fix the issues have been pushed. It’s been this way EVERY time I put on a new sensor. The app is miserable and basically does not allow me to use my phone for over a day as the app needs to be in the foreground to make a connection. I loved this app but i’ll be holding out till another Xdrip app comes out that is more reliable and doesn’t cause so much headache.

### 5/5 — Great free app

*2025-12-01, version 6.2.0*

This is a well maintained app by a free software team.  The publisher takes the free software and bundles it for the apple App Store.  Costs money to keep licenses to do that and it is work. Hats off to the xdrip4ios team and the zukka publisher!  See the xdrip4ios fb group for any needed support. The developers are very responsive.

### 5/5 — So helpful!

*2025-11-29, version 6.2.0*

In addition to accurate readings for my GCM (Stelo) this app shows a1c. The a1c reading was aligned with my recent check through my Dr. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Thank You!

*2025-11-28, version 6.2.0*

Thanks so much for this amazing App. Been using Shuggah for years and was left in a mess when it disappeared

### 5/5 — Дякую за Вашу роботу

*2025-11-28, version 6.2.0*

Дуже важливо мати такий додаток коли в тебе дитина з діабетом. Дякую Вам

### 5/5 — Does everything I need

*2025-11-27, version 6.2.0*

Thank you for publishing this app for free. Always wanted a way to get my data into Apple Health. Other apps charge you for this simple solution.

### 5/5 — Great app feels just like shuggah

*2025-11-25, version 6.1.0*

I’m really pleased with Zukka so far. From my experience, it works exactly the way Shuggah used to before it suddenly vanished from the App Store. The layout, the workflow, and the overall feel are virtually identical, which is ideal for anyone who relied on the previous app and wanted something that picked up where it left off.

If you liked Shuggah, this delivers the same functionality and ease of use, and it’s been running smoothly for me. Delighted to have something that fills that gap so well.

### 4/5 — Bugs unter iOS26

*2025-11-11, version 6.0.1*

Soweit top, allerdings aktuell unter iOS26 ein bug und die App legt viele Kontakte an (Nutze G6 und Apple Watch). Hoffe auf schnelles Update.

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2025-11-05, version 6.0.1*

My Dexcom Stello doesn’t give me moment to moment lows, which I struggle with. Zukka is awesome because it’ll keep me informed and the widgets on the home and Lock Screen are so helpful. I love this app. I’m so thankful for it.

### 1/5 — Great but..

*2026-06-04, version 6.3.1*

Iv been using zukka since March 2026. I use a stelo dexcom. It’s been great but recently it’s been all the sudden stopping my readings. Idk why. It’s still Bluetooth connected to my phone and dexcom and I need these readings. I go into 30’s in my sleep and I’m scared to sleep and not knowing if I’m low or not. Please respond quickly!!

### 1/5 — Waist of time

*2026-04-01, version 6.3.0*

Rubbish app, NEVER connects or works.

### 1/5 — Lingo Support

*2026-02-05, version 6.3.0*

Used to use Stelo but can’t right now. Love this app!!!!! I’m now using Lingo until I can use Stelo again. Please consider supporting the Lingo. I do not like their app! Thanks.

### 1/5 — Never connects

*2026-01-29, version 6.2.2*

I have an iPhone 17 Pro Max and it takes over a day to get a new Stelo sensor to connect. I have to uninstall and reinstall the app over and over again until it finally decides to work. I’ve waited over 2 hours in the “scanning screen” before, for it to connect and it never did.

### 1/5 — Lingo Support

### 1/5 — Stelo Failure

*2026-01-08, version 6.2.2*

App simply won't connect to my Stelo. Have confirm this is an error on Zukka's part. Will update if they ever fix it.

### 3/5 — Flaky

*2026-05-25, version 6.3.1*

Move to this after the demise of Shuggah. I use Freestyle libre EU and the signal keep disconnecting. So you might think your BG is ok but it may have rises or dropped lower than you’d like.

### 5/5 — Great program. Please can I suggest 2 small improvements

*2026-06-28, version 6.3.1*

Great programme, works very well, a huge improvement over the Freestyle libre app. 
There are only two small things that I would love to see in any future update.

Support of NTF to download smart insulin (novopen 6) data.

Also a quiet pre alarm, alarm.
Maybe 30 seconds before the main alarm goes off for low, hi etc, could we have a quiet vibrate alert. Then 30 seconds later the current main noisy wake you up alarm.

At night I’m often awake and would hopefully hear a quiet vibrate alert, 30 seconds before main alarm activates? 
It would give enough time to quickly check the reason for the alarm and silence the main alarm before the main alarm activates and wakes my wife up, who sleeps next to me.

Thank you for all your great work.
5 star.

### 5/5 — Big thank you for publishing this app!

*2026-06-05, version 6.3.1*

Thank you for having this available for the world 🙏🙏

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2026-04-24, version 6.3.0*

Після 2 днів роботи LibreLink вибив вікно що сенсору капут, і більше не підключався до нього. Ні на що не надіючись, спробував Zukka, і виявилось що з сенсором все окей 😍

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-04-11, version 6.3.0*

Excellent app which improves on the basic Libre app in many ways. Only flaw is the interface on iOS 26 where some elements are invisible in dark mode.

### 5/5 — Great statistics!

*2026-02-13, version 6.3.0*

I’m really liking the integration with my Freestyle Libre 3, Libre Linkup, Apple Health, and Cronometer.  I’m finally able to make informed choices based on data verses flying blind. The integration can be a bit complicated at first and I’d like to see a more comprehensive write up on walking through integration. 

I absolutely love the GMI and HgA1C at a glance. Please keep up the good work as it helps those of us doing keto, fighting insulin resistance, monitoring fasts, and impacts of diet and exercise.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-02-11, version 6.3.0*

Thanks so much for this app. It has really changed the game for me.

### 5/5 — Hats off for getting this released

*2026-01-11, version 6.2.2*

This essentially works the same as shuggah pro but free. Appreciate your time and efforts!

### 5/5 — Better than the Stelo app

*2025-12-30, version 6.2.2*

Right now the official Stelo app is saying that there’s a problem with my sensor and it can’t get any data from it. BUT, Zukka has stayed connected the sensor the whole time and hasn’t lost any data. So glad I found this app.

### 5/5 — Love this app with Stelo!

*2025-12-27, version 6.2.2*

This is so useful and the readings are listed every 5 minutes!!

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2025-12-27, version 6.2.2*

The group of developer(s) are really nice. When I posted issue on their FB group page that I was having, they put out updates fixing the issues, so now I can directly put in what bludtooth name to connect to! For some reasons, this app is far more accurate in guestimating expecting HbA1C than dexcom clarity app that I had to use to share my data to clinic. Clarity’s guesstimate were way off, when it expected 5.8-6.0, at clinic came back as 5.0, which where zukka had guestimated 5.1! (happened over 13 months with 4 labs) I truly trust this app so I don't have to unnecessary get frustrated at my guesstimate HbA1C! Thank you for developing this app (xdrip).
