customer TL,
Not great for gestational diabetes
For gestational diabetes, the blood sugar range you’re supposed to stay in is a lot smaller. The endocrinologist set the upper threshold, for 2hrs after a meal, to 140mg/dL and not one 1mg over! The measurements on the line graph are not detailed enough for me to check what exact measurement I got earlier in the day since the measurement lines go from 100 to 150 on the y-axis. Because I set my range (green shaded area) to max out at 140, I can see when my line goes above it but I can only make an ESTIMATE about whether it was 144 or 147 etc. I don’t know by how much exactly I went over so it makes tweaking my carb intake difficult. I don’t always remember to check my glucose exactly at the 2hr mark and right now I cannot go back to see the exact measurement at that time.
As many other users have complained about, you cannot touch your line graph to zoom in or have any sort of label pop up telling you the reading at any given past time point, which seems like a very basic feature for an app for people tracking their glucose levels at different time points in the day. If they added this simple feature, my issues would be resolved. Think of all the stock apps where you can easily click on the line graph, at any time point in the past, to see exactly what the price points were that day and specially at a given time. That is what people need.

GrantEatonDesign,
An amazing tool, but app needs work
I want to begin with my critique of the app. The critical alarm needs to be customizable. It is an ear-piercing alarm that you cannot adjust the volume of. Please allow for different volumes and allow for vibration alerts too. I understand that it’s a liability if the alarm isn’t heard, but the fact that there’s no way to lower the volume makes me uncomfortable with using it at work/in class. I can’t have this beeping when I’m attending a lecture or taking an exam. This really needs to be changed in order for diabetics to make this part of their daily life. This is my only critique as if 14 days of use. It is an amazing tool that relieves stress immensely. After 20 years of pricking my finger, it’s incredible to not constantly have to use traditional meter testing. While I still do use my meter everyday, the frequency with which I test is down by about 60%. Before Libre 3, I tested 12X a day. Now it’s around 5X. Also, the comfort of having truly accurate sensor readings upon simply opening my app is life changing. Thank you for giving diabetics some sense of normalcy and a break from the relentless guessing game of blood sugars. Even with proper management, some things just can’t be controlled. The Libre 3 has eased some anxieties and given me comfort I never thought I would have. Just please fix the alarm system. I want to enjoy this 24/7, not just when I am comfortable with a loud alarm going off in the privacy of my own home.
tnvol01,
Cannot access detailed data
I was very surprised to find, when I started using this app, that you can’t see a detailed view of your graph with your blood sugar level at specific intervals. As a user, I want to zoom in on the graph and see what my blood sugar level was at, at least, half hour intervals, if not 15 min intervals. The only way you can capture your specific blood sugar level at a certain time and be able to view it later is to make a note at that specific time. For a continuous blood glucose app, it makes much more sense if the app captures this historical data for you so you can go back and see what certain meals did to your levels without having to remember to check it at an hour or two hours out from a meal. If I wanted to do that, I would just use a regular blood glucose monitor at those time intervals. The graph is basically useless because it’s so small and can’t be zoomed so you can’t even tell to what level your blood sugar spiked. Very disappointed at the limitations this software provides when it could easily be so much better and more useful. Seems like an easy fix to recode this app to allow more detailed data and time intervals. Something as simple as upgrading this software could make this device go from a nice to have to a must have for tracking blood sugar levels.

Not perfect but good
I switched from Freestyle Libre 14 day sensor (first model) to this Freestyle 3 sensor only because I updated my iPhone to the latest iOS and the original App froze up! It would not let me even scan my sensor! So after reading reviews about this latest 3 model I decided to skip the Freestyle 2 (all the glitches was not appealing) and just go with the newest model.
All that said I think this 3 model is good. Yes it’s continuous so yes my battery does wear down faster from my iPhone. I can see how the alerts can be annoying but I had it beep on me only a few times so far. What’s missing compared to the original Freestyle model is the ever present percentage in range display. I found this very insightful and easy to understand where my sugars are. Overall I suppose the freestyle Libre has made progress and I am happy with the switch from the original to this 3.
Btw, did any of you get a email from abbot asking you not to update your original freestyle to the new iOS ? Of course I did and my app would no longer scan which rendered my sensor (a new one I had just attached) useless. But just the fact that abbot asked us not to update our iOS is ridiculous! Come to think of it, maybe this was all a ploy to get us to upgrade? Hmmm…🤔

Alarm TOO loud
You can shut off most alarms except the lowest one re glucose level critically low. You ought to give the sensor wearer a choice as to what level of sound is best for them because what you’ve done is created an alarm that can wake the dead in the next county. Bloody frustrating. For this reason, I am seriously considering leaving Libre. Has anyone noticed that when you have a complaint about this sensor, all the company does is respond to everyone with the same exact word - to call Customer Service? Well, they are useless, too.
Note: I had failure this morning with a brand new sensor. (I have been using Libre 3.). The call to customer service was useless, and waste of my time. It never went thru the full 60 minutes before you can start using it. I called customer service and that was a nightmare. The customer service person had an accident so thick I had great difficulty understanding them. Eventually the representative tells me that it’s going to take them 20 to 30 minutes on the phone before they can issue me a new sensor. I don’t have the time or patience to deal with utter nonsense like that. If you can’t handle your business within five minutes on the phone get out of business. This is the THIRD sensor that I’ve been thru that has been defective. Your company is taking my money. Not any more. I’ll be giving my business to your main competitor- hello G7!

Can’t recommend these devices
To be honest, the high failure rate of these devices and the limited functionality of the software makes it difficult to consider these devices as a credible CGM solution. Out of the last 12 sensors, 10 have failed at approximately the 7 day mark (supposed to last for 14 days). The software has no integration with Apple Health, and does not provide data to any outside source or device. It’s impossible to see more than 24 hours of information, and at least for me, the readings given are not anywhere close enough to the data shown from my finger stick device to make me confident of using it as the sole monitoring tool for my blood sugar (if I’m still carrying a meter around, I fail to see the point in having this device). The simple addition of an adhesive patch to secure the sensor to your arm would be a significant improvement, since the sensor frequently falls off and cannot be re-inserted, requiring starting a new one, which gets expensive even with insurance coverage. (Tip: fabric Band-aids are your friend here.)
To their credit, the support people have been very good about replacing the faulty devices, but the cost and usability issues of this “solution“ vs the amount of time invested in dealing with the reliability issues just isn’t enough to make it worthwhile.

Abbott Fails to Update App
Abbott has not released an update for the app in almost a year! Considering this is a literally life saving product, of which consumers must use the app to access critical health data using their smartphones, you would think that app updates would be a priority. Unfortunately, that’s not the case here.
There are additional security and troublesome issues with Abbott’s failure to provide an update of this app for its consumers. The current app is NOT compatible with up to date device operating systems. This means consumers who rely on Abbott’s product are unable to update their devices with the most recent and important operating systems, leaving them open and vulnerable to security issues. Along these same lines, since consumers who rely on this app for their health are unable to update their devices, they are also “stuck” having the inability to utilize other apps and services which require the newer operating systems as well.
It is extremely disappointing that the company providing the very product/app combo which can be incredibly useful in improving its consumers’ quality of life, and even helping to save lives, would be neglected for so long. Clearly, Abbott is more focused on making money off of selling the pricey sensors used with the app, than they are in maintaining their services to actually help and retain consumers. It is almost sickening.

Great monitor pathetic app
I have fairly recently started using a Libre 3 after getting to try out a Dexcom G7 for a bit. Unfortunately my insurance won’t cover the Dexcom currently. I have been pretty impressed with the monitor itself, I love the size and it hasn’t lost signal hardly at all, it has also been within a couple points of my standard glucose monitor every time I’ve checked which is awesome. Unfortunately the app that goes with it is incredibly generic for such an impressive device! I like to be able to look back and see exact number for all times throughout the day and all you get with the app is a pathetic line graph with absolutely zero detailed info unless you make a note at every time you want to know something! I don’t know if this was someone’s first attempt at an app or if they just have no idea what people actually want or need to use these monitors for but it needs a LOT of work!! I have read through tons of reviews and it doesn’t seem like many people are impressed with the app. I would gladly go back to the Dexcom purely because of how user friendly and well laid out their app is. I sure hope the developers of the Libre 3 app are reading these reviews and planning to do some serious revamping!
Skessdtrek,
Average
With no option for separate reader (as libre2), the app needs work. Connectivity is great, and minute updates are nice. I would like to be able to preview what the alerts sound like so I know what to expect, but it doesn't do that (like when you change the sound for a timer). A vibrate option would be great as well. Supposedly the app follows phone settings, but I have my phone on silent and I only get audible alerts from this app. Zooming on the line graph of sugars would be nice too. I would do 3.5 stars but it wont let me.
Edit: I figured out that if I turn off the “override do not disturb” option then I do get silent alerts. The problem is still at night when a less intrusive audible or a vibrate (which the libre2 had and worked well) would be nice. Also, I know it is a safety feature, but the critical alert for below 55 is very intrusive, especially when I already took food and drink to correct a dropping sugar, but the interstitial fluid hasn’t caught up to that yet. There should be an option to suspend low alerts for 30 minutes when I have already eaten to correct a low. I think having figured out the DND feature thing, I will upgrade to 4/5.

himpersonal,
Hate this app!!!!
Was initially excited to try the 3 because it’s so much smaller. Thought it might fall off less. Was annoyed I had to download a new app. Fine. Small thing. Done. Then super angry because it kept waking me. There’s no way to change the lower threshold for a critical alarm. Abbott Labs has decided that anything under 55 is life critical for every single person on the planet. My sugar often falls just under 55 in my sleep. I’m still alive. There’s no way to silence it either, even when your phone is on do not disturb, sleep mode, or muted. Plus it’s really loud. I even tried turning off Bluetooth at night, but then realized there was no way to sync my Fitbit data. I still have it a try only to have it remind me with another loud and unwelcome beep that Bluetooth needs to be on for the sensor to work. So I ultimately took it off and deleted the app. My sleep and my serenity are more important than a glucometer. What I don’t understand is that it seems A LOT of people have complained Abbott, and yet, nothing seems to be done about it. I even emailed the feedback but never heard back from them. I guess their liabilities are more important to them than their customers. I might try calling them when I get back to the US, but I’m not optimistic. So I’ll stick with the 2. Hopefully, they won’t phase it out. If they do, I’ll go back to finger pricking.
