1. 2/5Disappointed…

   I am a Pharmacist on a journey to start a more healthy lifestyle. Part of this lifestyle change is to adopt a more ketogenic diet along with logging and figuring out what foods negatively impact both my glucose and ketone levels. I chose to go with the Libre3 sensor for several reasons including being able to hopefully help myself understand the details and usage of these sensors to better my success and in turn be able to help my patients at the pharmacy as well. So lots to unpack here! My disappointment from a non-diabetic standpoint is this… I am looking at this tool as if I was diabetic. For starters the app is garbage! I feel like I can not zoom in or dig down into when certain levels occurred. All I see is the current reading and a trend. That’s all great but it is like telling a patient to eat less carbs and then not giving them a range of what “less carbs” means. To understand glucose readings you need to be able to see each and every reading down to the minute and log events to help you evaluate it all. If you can not see the readings and go back to see a specific time frame in which levels began to increase or decrease down to the minute level what is the point? For now the best I can give this app is 2 stars… it’s half baked and very little thought has gone into the actual data diabetics and non-diabetics alike need to utilize to achieve the healthy outcomes using the system. Where is the integration with Apple’s Health app? Abbott - you have much work to do on this!

2. 4/5An 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.

3. 3/5App not very good-but all we got.

   I wish this app would share data with Apple health. It is installed on an iPhone why not allow that option? Most health apps share data, I wish this did too. The app should have more symptoms available to log. And the food option should have more than just carbs, plus it should have a spot to write what food it is, not just food and how many grams of carbs. As if anyone knows how many carbs they’re eating. I wish there was a way to silence the crucial alerts. The sound doesn’t always play. If I am wearing my AirPods it should play in earbud and usually does. If I am I wearing my Apple Watch an it is unlocked it should alert there, which is quieter and buzzes for my attention. I wish it would not play so loudly on my phone when it does. And I wish it especially would not play sound at all when I am looking at my phone screen. The phone is smart enough to know that I am making eye contact with it it should not play. The sound has woken up my almost 4 year old 3 times and my room is across the living room from hers. The app is visually boring. It plainly enough shows the important data and that’s that. It would be fun if I could change the background color. I wish I could scroll back through my data on the home section. It would be easier to see and do than have to click on the “daily graph”. If I didn’t have to have this app for the sensor I wouldn’t choose this app. It works good enough, but not great. And I really wish is would share with Apple health.

4. 3/5Can’t turn off alarms. Inaccurately wakes me up all night.

   Update. After using for six weeks the third sensor ended in the middle of the night, cutting out about three hours of use, based on when I applied the last, and then the app froze on “you must be an adult”. After applying a new sensor, the app remained frozen. Tried turning on and off my phone. That didn’t help. I had to uninstall the app and reinstall, losing all my history data. Here’s my original review. No changes since my review: You can’t turn off certain alarms in this version, so the app keeps waking me up. The problem is I’m a side sleeper so the sensor regularly loses connectivity or senses an inaccurate low reading. I have resorted to turning off my Bluetooth in order to get any sleep. When turning on my Bluetooth in the morning it won’t connect unless I reopen the app and wait three minutes. Thankfully, the sensor seems to have some built in memory, so it generally charts my nighttime numbers once I reconnect. I also dislike the fact that I can no longer take an immediate reading. It’s nice that the app reads the sensor every few minutes, but sometime you need to know right away and don’t have the luxury of staring at your phone for a few minutes in order to get a current reading. Fix these few things and it will be a great app. Not sure what can be done about the inaccurate readings when sleeping on my side, but I can live with that since I’m pretty consistent with my night numbers.

5. 3/5UPDATE - Good but Would Appreciate Improvements

   I see it’s been 11 months since the last version update of this app. Why the long wait? The changes people here are asking for are not that complicated. I’m trying hard to stay with your CGM vs Dexcom because my Doctor prefers Libre but I’m close to switching given your lack of updates. Please reply back with any plans scheduled in the near future. Please add the current reading to the Apple Watch (very important for many). Please see my requests below. Similar to others here & please read their requests. Thank you. ================================================================== I like the Libre 3 quite a bit, but I have a few requests: 1. Need to see my reading on Apple Watch. This is super important for an active person, especially during a workout or in a meeting when I just can’t pull out my phone. 2. I need to be able to go back in time during the day & see a reading for a certain time & enter info like exercise or food for that specific time along with the BG reading. The current “Note” feature is not very good. This would be super helpful, like on a Dexcom, for example. 3. The Notifications don’t alert me with sound. It’s not my settings. They work for everything else on my phone. I only get a message notification, which I often miss without a sound. 4. Can we reduce the alarm for a high reading? During the day it’s way too jarring. The super piercing alarm may be good at night however, to wake us up as needed. Thank you very much!
