1. 3/5Clean app, missing features

   This app has a lot of good things going for it. Setting up a new sensor is quick and easy. Data is presented clearly. The interface is clean and easy to use. Linking with my nutritionist and doctor is also very easy. Unfortunately, there are missing features. This app does not add data to Apple Health. It also doesn't have an Apple Watch app or complication. To do either you have to download and setup Abbot's LibreLinkUp, download another app like Shuggah or Sweet Dreams, and link all of the apps together. All of this requires that my data be sent to the cloud before I can access it from my watch—and even when it works well I still have to carry my phone with me everywhere I go. It would be nice to be able to leave my phone at home. Like a Dexcom G7 user. They get an Apple Watch app. They get Apple Health integration. They get everything. The Freestyle Libre 3 feels like a sleek, futuristic device… but the app makes me feel like I'm in 2010 again. If things don't improve soon, I will ask my doctor to change my prescription to Dexcom.

2. 4/5Best version so far.

   Saying that this is the best version so far is not saying a whole lot. From my experience the Libre series of CGM is flawed at best and dangerous at worst. While they do what they are supposed to do, the lack of adjustments makes it difficult to trust the results. There is no way to let the system know that the sensor is giving inaccurate results except removing it and putting on a new one. The addition of the sound control is something the series has really needed. Having to completely turn off the sensor to have it be quiet for a short time seems dangerous, so this new feature is greatly appreciated. My one complaint about the interface is the selector that looks like some kind of WiFi or signal connection, but is actually used to install a new sensor is baffling. The only two selectable items on the Home Screen are this WiFi looking thing and a plus sign to add new information, ie food eaten, long acting insulin, slow acting insulin, etc. This edition of the Libre series is the best so far, maybe soon they’ll catch up to the Dexcom, but by then my insurance won’t pay for the Libre and I’ll have to switch back to the Dexcom.

3. 4/5Nice app but still needs some improvements

   I like the new Libre CGM app but I still like the Dexcom app better. I recently switched to Dexcom but I had a Libre sensor left so I used it. The Libre sensor doesn’t seem to be as accurate. I actually had two sensor in at once when I was changing them. One was the old one you scan and the new one was with the new app that gives the CGM. The glucose readings were way off. Even when I took into account the constant changes they were not even close. They were off by as much as 40 points. Being a nurse this concerned me. Now when I switched sensors with my Dexcom the readings were off by just a few points, less than 5. I like to be able to see a chart of my recent BG readings in a chart form and this app doesn’t do that. I can quickly glance at it and use the numbers I need. I don’t always want to see just the dots on a graph. You can slide the cursor to see the BG numbers which is nice but that’s an extra step. As a nurse I’m all about quickness, accuracy and convenience.

4. 3/5Could be better

   I’ve had Type II diabetes for nearly 8 years. My PCP set me up with the Freestyle Libre within 6 months of diagnosis. Because my illness is straightforward the sensor and reader were great. The addition of the iPhone a big plus. My PCP set me up last year with the Libre 3. Love the smaller sensor and the upgrades to the app (I skipped from the 1 to the 3). Then a couple of weeks ago the app told me I needed to upgrade. I’m definitely much less impressed with the new 3+ app. Maybe it’s a glitch on the install, but I have no “main menu” button to do simple things like set reminders. Seems like a Toney thing, but it’s very inconvenient and annoying. I turned the last level of the app back on to have the reminders, but I can’t tap on them because the old app doesn’t connect to the current sensor. 11 more days and I’m going back to the lower level 3 app. I’m not someone who wants to work harder. I want to work smoothly and correctly. Overall, the Libre is a great product, but sometimes it’s better to wait for the latest and greatest to get all the bugs worked out

5. 5/5Very pleased

   I’ve been a type II PATIENT and heavily insulin dependent for over 40 years. I started using the Libre about 5 years ago and have been very pleased with it. About 2 years ago I started using Ozempic and lost 99 lbs. I have not used insulin since a month after starting Ozempic. Although I digressed a bit the point is I have been able to to monitor my glucose readings with a significantly accurate reading vs finger sticks since using the Libre. Periodically I check with a finger stick and the numbers are right on. Recently I started to use the 2 plus sensor with the new software supplied for my iPhone. What impresses me is the readings are real time and I don’t have to manually scan as often. I also like the new 7-90 day history charts,especially the chart that outlines how well I comply with my target ranges. Finally, the GMI reading is equal to the lab computed A1C. That is just awesome as I really don’t have to wonder how I’m really doing. Thank you Abbot Labs!

2. 2/5

   my problem is since switching from the original libre 3 app, I had 6 straight lost signal errors. in over 3 years of using libre products, I NEVER had a lost signal error. the techies tell me the sensor is obstructed??? well, why was it never obstructed before? only since the new updated app, well something must be wrong with the new app. update the program so that in the event of a lost signal the sensor can be restarted, also add a turn off for the alarm.
