Users must verify that their CGM device is approved for use in their country before relying on it. Supported regions where these devices are cleared include: United States (FDA), European Union and UK (CE marking), Canada (Health Canada), Australia (TGA), and Japan (PMDA). Ando is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice. Supported CGM devices have independent regulatory clearances in their respective markets: • Dexcom G6/G7: FDA 510(k) cleared (USA), CE marked (EU/UK), Health Canada, TGA (Australia), PMDA (Japan) • FreeStyle Libre/Libre 2/Libre 3: FDA 510(k) cleared (USA), CE marked (EU/UK), Health Canada, TGA (Australia), PMDA (Japan) Users are responsible for ensuring their CGM device is available and has appropriate regulatory clearance in their country or region before use.

Rotate

Rotate is a private, native journal for where you place your insulin pump and CGM sensor — and when. It keeps two independent rotation tracks, one for your pump and one for your sensor, so each area gets the rest it needs. WHAT IT DOES • Log every placement in a tap or two, on a clear body map. • See a recency heatmap of your recent sites, so the least-used areas are obvious at a glance. • Get least-recently-used, region-diverse suggestions when it's time for a new site. • Keep a running history you can look back over. • Choose which areas each track rotates through, and a body figure that fits you. • Correct placement times and add custom sites for either track. • Ask Siri how long a site has been on, or start your next placement. • See the hour count in a lock-screen widget and tap to start a new site. BUILT WITH THE DIY COMMUNITY IN MIND After you confirm a placement, Rotate can hand off to your looping app so you can finish setup without hunting for it. Everything works just as well on its own. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your journal lives on your device. With iCloud sync on, a copy is stored in your private iCloud database on Apple's servers. You can turn sync off to keep your journal on one device and choose to remove the copy already in iCloud. With no iCloud account, it stays on your iPhone. Botanica never receives your journal: Rotate has no account, no developer-operated servers, and no analytics. An optional Face ID lock protects access to the journal, and Rotate hides it in the app switcher. NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE Rotate is a journaling and reminder aid. It does not read glucose, calculate insulin doses, diagnose skin or tissue, or communicate with your pump or CGM. Always follow your device's instructions and your care team's guidance for site selection and placement. Free and open source.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Rotate at none against Ando's 3. Ando's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
