Useless!
I hope I can change this review. I placed a monitor on my arm and waited 1 hour for the App to scan it. After one hour the App said “you need a new scanner”. I rescanned the sensor and I am waiting another hour. I am pretty sure it will say the same thing. Reading the reviews I see some messages saying that you have to do the first reading with some sort of reader (which I do not have). In any case, how stupid is that if true. I re-read the instruction on the sensor and there is no comment on that. In any case, why do I have to buy a reader? If this App is worth anything, why force people to buy a reader?
Update: I called and was sent a new one. I could activate with the phone only and it has been working for 2 days. My problem now is that the readings are all over the place. I understand that intersticial glucose is different from blood glucose, but I had 104 in the phone and 147 on the blood. Also there are some low readings like 66 that are totally off. I don’t even have diabetes or inject insulin (prediabetes). I will update. For now, I went from 1 to 2 stars.
Update 2: Day 3 is getting better. The values are less crazy and smaller differences from blood glucose. Increasing to 3 stars.

Be careful entering your email address
The app is a little glitchy. When you setup the app, you enter your email address. But you only enter the address once, not twice like some apps require to be sure you entered the right address that is free of typos. I entered my address wrong. I noticed it during set up but there was no back button to go back and fix the mistake. Then, once I was done setting it up I went to my account profile to correct the mistake. You can change your name and birthday and password but you can’t change your email address. With the incorrect email address, you can not link app-to-app (I was trying to link to Veri). I called customer support to see if they could do update my email address from the back end. The answer was no. The only option is to deactivate your account and the reinstall the app with a new account. But that also means you lose the sensor you bought because the sensor only calibrates once.
This would be an easy fix for the developer: (1) either add the space to enter the email twice to confirm the right address, or (2) have a back button on the set up pages so people can fix their mistakes during set up, or (3) have a back door via customer service to fix wrong addresses without losing the sensor. The sensors aren’t cheap. When I finish this sensor, I’ll likely switch to a different model and not use Libre because this was an annoying defect in the app.

Love
I actually have been a type 1 diabetic since I was 7 years old, I am now 25 and work for a family practice that deals with a lot of type 2 and type 1 diabetics. I have showed a lot of patients this product after I tested it out myself, and the doctors I work for have written a lot prescriptions for this item and have actually had me come into the room with them and the patient to inform them and show them how this product works. The doctors I work for have told me to contact the company for more information on insurance coverage, drug rep information to report back to patients and even becoming either a sponsor or something involved in this company because I truly do believe this will make any diabetics life easier as it has made mine. I work for a very busy practice and am very forgetful, this monitor has made my life that much easier and my Hemoglobin A1C come down from 9.2 to 7.8 within 3 months (this glucose monitor has a reminder setting that will alarm you within 1-2 hours to retest your blood sugar once you apply that setting) I highly recommend this product and can honestly say it has made managing my type 1 diabetes’s more reasonable.

Best thing so far for glucose monitoring
I have been type 1 for 10 years and have to say that this app allows me freedom in ways I have not seen anywhere else so far. Instead of manually poking my finger for a blood reading, the scanning is painless, easy and allows notes for food, insulin, etc..
I have two constructive criticisms. The 12 hours that I am without reading during scanning makes me anxious. As funny as it sounds, I have come to love seeing the entire readings as it brings a new level of insight to managing my BS. So if there is a way to start syncing a new sensor 12 hours prior to the existing one expiring to have no gap in readings that would be great.
The second suggestion is that I would love to see an Apple Watch app that displayed the BS reading when scanning.
I have never used a dexcom or other continuous BS monitor as all of those are considered medical devices and is a different insurance deductible and is way too costly to obtain. The freestyle libre reader is great for me because it is considered a pharmacy benefit and is actually cheaper than buying a month worth of test strips for manual checking.
Keep it up and keep innovating!

Ed-Ber,
One flaw but otherwise great
I feel the Abbet freestyle libre is a great product, and this app is excellent for viewing my trends throughout the day and sharing with my healthcare team. The big key is knowing where my glucose levels are trending either up or down, which is much different than what you get from point in time blood glucose readings. I did find one flaw I would like the developers to correct, on a recent trip to Hawaii on a cruise ship it took me four days to go from California to Hawaii and back, and I crossed many time zones. I needed to keep changing times each day manually to match time zones and this essentially broke the app. I did revert that time to a prior or future time zone but then my phones time and time stamps were all off. It was a frustrating situation. I understand why you do this to prevent manipulation of the time to extend usage but you should consider another way to meter usage such as an internal or external time countdown to the sensor that can override these scenarios. Basically international travel is difficult with Libre based on the app design and needing to change times manually. Thanks.

3hr Delay to transfer to Apple Health
I’ve been using Libre sensors for a couple years. In so many ways I prefer your sensors to your more expensive competitor. However, you have really dropped the ball by delaying transfer of blood sugars to Apple Health for three hours. When your competitors make these results immediate. You can’t claim you are trying to provide the best care for diabetics, if you are purposefully preventing them from using other, more capable diabetes management tools than your own log. At best this is a contradiction to your own marketing Dept messaging. At worst, it’s corporate bad faith.
Part 2: Developer suggested I contact customer service for help. It turns out, Customer Service informed me, there is no support for data sharing with third party apps including Apple Health Kit. Word of warning, if your hoping to use another app to manage your diabetes, you will have to manually enter each scan into the other app. Abbott, the idea of a CGM only reaches its full potential if you facilitate the user getting this data into their preferred management app. In other words, you need to implement Apple Health Kit integration. As your product currently stands, your in the dark ages as compared to your competition. Next time someone complains about this, you could just tell them you’ll pass the request on to the developers.

Pretty Useless if you ask me
I’ve been using the Freestyle Libre for a little while now. I very first one I used fell off in less then a week, so I went out and bought the pads that help the sensors stick on better. They worked better for a while, I sensors actually stayed on. I then had a sensor tell me after scanning it to wait the hour like they do. After the hour was up I scanned the sensor only for it to tell me to wait 10 minutes and scan again. After waiting the 10 minutes I scanned the sensor again with the same message. After about 3 or 4 scans it tells me to replace the sensor because it’s bad.
Now I pay for these out of pocket. After the first few issues the sensors worked great for a while. Now recently my last 4 in a row have not worked, each giving the same issue. I scan it, it tell me to wait the hour. I wait the hour and it tells me to scan again in 10 minutes. Wait the 10 minutes, it says scan again in 10 minutes, after 3 or 4 times it says the sensor is bad. I have one more sensor to try but I’m not really hopeful that it’ll work either. I have the latest firmware installed on everything.
Good luck everyone!!!

dsrstrfnkfv,
There is no current update for your app.
I’ve been using the freestyle Libre 14 day for INXS of a year. The last time your app was updated was it year ago. For the last month I’ve been having an issue with getting my sensors to scan. I’ve gone through the rigmarole of having customer service replace my sensors. But the problem is not with the individual sensors. In addition to going through all of that with your customer service division who by the way doesn’t listen. I have had my phone checked by my service provider and Apple. It appears that your free style libre libre link is not compatible with the current Apple update. I have now been without a glucose monitoring system for a month. Since I had been using your system for over a year when my other monitoring system broke I did not replace it. Your customer service department has replaced seven sensors. This would be wonderful but none of them will work because your app is out of date and no one seems to want to own up to this or give any idea of when it will be updated. How sad. I really really liked having this CGM but if it doesn’t work what good is it? I don’t expect that you will respond because that would be taking ownership of the issue. Please fix it soon.

Very Inaccurate & Inconsistent
I’m a type II diabetic recovering from open heart surgery. My docs want my glucose readings to be within a set “constant carbs” parameters which means a lot of finger sticking. We are trying the 10 day Freestyle Libra system and comparing the readings against my Ultra Onetouch glucose meter readings. The Freestyle Libra readings are so far removed from the Onetouch readings as to make it unusable for valid glucose measurements. Very disappointed in this system. I cannot make a direct correlation of the difference between the two systems. Sometimes the difference is 10 mg between the two and at other times the difference has been as much as 70 mg. The Freestyle system cannot seem to tell if my glucose is going up or down. It also cannot hold more that 8 hours of data which means I miss significant data at night. Nor can I set my upper or lower limits for glucose levels. The only “alarm” the it sends to my phone is when the 8 hours from last scan is up. I have had three significant hypo events that it did not acknowledge. The same with hyper events out of my target zone: no alarm. A scan is required to get any data whatsoever out of the system.
This is an expensive system that most insurances won’t pay for. Being grossly inaccurate makes it pretty much worthless.

HOMEMEANSNEVADA,
Buyer Beware! Useless
Now on my 7th sensor in two weeks. Three have fallen off, 1 never worked from the beginning, and 2 just quit and said “replace sensor”. Seventh times the charm?
Worst customer service I have ever dealt with. App support team is ill-equipped to provide support beyond basic support script of “you did something wrong, sorry for the inconvenience.” And, the support team is strictly available during bankers hours on Eastern time, M-F. Good thing diabetes only an issue during those times. Good grief.
I am highly suspicious of good reviews in App Store. Before buying, make a smart choice and read the Developer Responses. Clearly these are not responses from “developers” who would be genuinely interested in receiving constructive feedback or offering insightful and helpful troubleshooting for an app to which they devoted their career. Instead, the responses are “please contact support”, which indicates to me these are canned responses from bots, as so many of the reviews specifically mention a user has attempted to contact support with no meaningfully positive outcome. The cognitive dissonance between my reasonable expectations of the promise of groundbreaking if nascent technology and my two-week experience is a chasm I cannot overcome. Thoroughly disappointed. Please conduct due diligence.
