FreeStyle LibreLink – GB

I have type 1 diabetes and was recommended to have this by my nurse. This app overall is okay but when you scan it 50% of the time says it’s unavailable and you have to wait 10 minutes but after those 10 minutes it says to wait another ten minutes .😡Also I tried clicking a few buttons that normally work but it didn’t work. Things to improve: Buttons The amount of times it says the glucose readings are unavailable UPDATE: I found out apparently the unavailable readings are because my glucose is changing rapidly (mainly because I’m a child and I am very active) But if you don’t agree to their privacy policy your kicked out of the app/account (I haven’t actually decided to agree yet (must check with my dad)) UPDATE I put a sensor in 18:36 on the 17th and the next day it hurt when I moved my arm. Today 00:13 I was having constant low readings like 3.1, 3.0mmol/L I wasn’t lying on it and then after that it said my sensor is not working and I have to replace it DEVS respond to some negative reviews at least cause we all like positive reviews from developers point of view but negative matter (unless you want more negative reviews) And I am starting to suspect you are using copy and paste for the response. please please please reread all the reviews people edit them. you may find edited reviews on ones you have already responded to so try and send another response or edit yours Thanks

Have only been using this for 10 days so far and my God it changes the life of a diabetic! No more going to bed with the little feeling of worry that you'll wake up face to face with a paramedic, or going out for the evening and guessing what your blood sugar is on as you haven't got your kit with you, speaking from a human perspective the above is something diabetics have to deal with and the Libre changes all of that. So impressed with it and couldn't be without it now. Yes it's not the cheapest, but its a small price to pay for the better quality of life you get. The ONLY gripe I have, and I'm certain a simple update would rectify this, is the alarms going off! Yes 3am, the alarm goes off, fantastic! I have my dose of sugar and go back to sleep. 5 minutes late the alarm goes off again!! And then again and again! Bloods don't instantly go up it takes a while! Please please please PLEASE add a snooze function to the alarm function for 20 mins or so! This will enable the blood result to rise above hypo level and stop the alarm waking myself and my wife up repeatedly! If this is possible please consider it as this is such a welcome bit of kit! Keep up the good work. 👍

The software (this app) does not do justice to the amazing product the Libre 2 is. It falls short of very expected features that can be seen on any other diabetes tracking app (that don’t even have hardware being dependent on them like the libre is). For starters, there’s no Apple Health support, meaning if you want to get accurate data on the LibreLink app to share with your doctor for reviewing, you have to manually type it in, even exercise, which the iPhone automatically tracks, especially Smartwatch users. There’s no option to change units of measurement. No option for nfc scanning unless you invoke it specifically through the app. Graphic visualization is there, but it’s very counter-intuitive for users as the graphs don’t have a scrollable graph, and different graphic interpretations are accessed from a hidden menu. I mean, I get it, this is not a design oriented company to have good visuals, but why wouldn’t they take advantage of HealthKit APIs to give the option to visualize the data in an alternative app? And there’s no Apple Watch app or even complications. It’s really disappointing that users need to rely on not approved open-source community apps like xdrip4ios to get basic functionality, that Abbott with an income stream from Libre sensors fails to deliver.
