Not perfect but goodI 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…🤔.Version: 3.4

AverageWith 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..Version: 3.4

So much better than drawing blood however…All I’ve ever wanted since getting Type 1 diabetes in 1997 is a watch that gives me a constant blood sugar reading. This does that on my phone, which is amazing -don’t get me wrong, however why not let the iPhone push those continuous readings directly to an Apple Watch via the iPhone? I know the alerts will sometimes push through, but I wouldn’t need those alerts half as much if I could just look at my wrist as see where the readings are at. What could be holding this up?? No need to have the watch be a standalone reader like the phone app is, I understand the complexity in developing that, just requesting the watch receive the data that the phone is already grabbing. This is the only thing IMO keeping this system from being diabetes perfection. Come on Abbott, please come through!!.Version: 3.4

An amazing tool, but app needs workI 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..Version: 3.4

To the Developers: Would Like to see support for Apple WatchThe app works well for the most part, I have only been wearing a glucose monitor for less than a month. The biggest negative that I find is the lack of support for Apple the Apple Watch. When I am out of range of my phone’s Bluetooth, the sensor becomes disconnected and no longer logging to the app. Having support for the Apple Watch would allow users who are active outdoors, runners, swimmers, etc who leave their phones behind to still have the ability to monitor their glucose levels. My watch has cellular, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities so it can’t be too much of a stretch to extend monitoring to the watch while away from the phone..Version: 3.4

Not so bad butPremise: me and my husband don’t have diabetes or any other particular problem. My husband and I are using this App only to understand what happens to our blood sugar levels and body when we eat certain foods. The high or low glucose alarm can be turned off except for "urgent low glucose" or below 55 mg/dl. THANKS to this last alarm that rang 3 times in the first night, we found out what my husband was eating wrong to make his glucose drop so much and we immediately corrected it and now the problem is solved. We are now on our fourth day and we have already learned several interesting things and for this the App is valid. However, if I had some pathology, I would certainly like to have some more possibilities, such as being able to enlarge the screen to see the graph in more detail or being able to view the exact time with the exact glycemic rate in the current graph but also in the past one. I have iOS 16.4.1 and the App works perfectly..Version: 3.4

Libre 3 sensor is fantastic! App needs some upgradesFirst off I’m a primary care doctor and I prescribe these to patients. They are fantastic. The Libre 2 is great and the Libre 3 is a significant upgrade for continuous glucose monitoring. The 3 is smaller and more accurate (the 2 is still very good). The app could be improved by adding a hemoglobin A1c estimator integrated into the software. Seems like the perfect addition to this software. Would save the patient a step of using a separate app to keep track of this. And would be nice to have to show the doctor. Also patients are asking to have the ability to add a finger stick glucose beyond the initial 12 hours. I agree it seems reasonable to be able to add a finger stick at any time. Thank you for an incredible device that is no doubt improving patient’s quality of life and their long term outcomes. I have had many patients get a much better grip on their sugar control because of the timely information this provides and they quickly learn how their body responds to different types and amounts of food they consume!.Version: 3.4

Awesome … when it works.So to be completely fair, I’m not sure if my complaint is with the app or the sensors themselves, as I have never used any previous versions of the sensors/app. So far, I have used 4 sensors and only once have they worked the full two weeks. The first sensor was a sample, so I can’t really complain there, but the sensor actually stopped connecting to the app after 6 days usage. The second sensor stopped communicating after 7 days. The third sensor actually went the full two weeks. I have now had the fourth sensor stop working after only 3 days. My insurance thinks this is an extravagance and therefore doesn’t cover it. I’m happy to pay for the devices because with my other health issues, it is extremely important that I know how my outside influences and food are affecting my blood sugar. Keeping my blood sugar at an even state is extremely important, and medications are causing them to fluctuate too much. Right now I am having to continue pricking my finger at regular intervals just to ensure I know what is going on. I need to be able to trust that when I insert a new sensor, that it will actually work the full two weeks. That being said, Abbot has been very responsive and has already sent replacement sensors for the first two that were defective, and I sent back one of them that I still had so they could perform diagnostics to determine what went wrong..Version: 3.4

Very Helpful AppThis app is helping me understand and mitigate glucose spikes to I can properly figure out what/when I should eat in order to feel at optimum health as a Tyle II diabetic. The one important suggestion I have relates to the graph and log. Backing up what another customer said, it needs to allow dynamic zooming in and out of your graph. The graph also needs the ability to be viewed as a weekly view with weekly averages. Right now it’s difficult to find past days to review and compare to current days - especially if you’re studying the chart closely with the goal of crushing diabetes and getting off medication. Thank you for your support and I welcome any feedback you have..Version: 3.4

Lackluster, but does it’s job and does it rightIf we’re going based off functionality alone, I would give this thing five stars. It’s simple to control, gives you a tutorial on how to connect your sensors, how to customize options when you first open the app, and how to share your info with your doctor and or other people with the connected apps. However, since it technically is more than just functionality, I have to give it 4 stars. Which I’d be glad to change if certain features become implemented. I’d like to see better alarm sounds, like custom ones instead of your phone’s default sound or the one freestyle provides. Mostly because I’d rather have two different sounds for if my sugar goes below 70 and one for if it goes below 55. Secondly, I’d like to see some Apple Watch pairing OR some widgets for the phones home screen. It’s hard to have to get my phone out while I’m working out to check my sugar, I’d like to just be able to look at my watch or look at the Home Screen to see where I’m at. Finally, and this is just a pet peeve, I’d like to have some Omnipod connectivity. Dexcom is expensive and honestly I like the freestyle a whole world more because it’s tiny and I don’t notice it. Unfortunately, Dexcom is the only CGM that works with Omnipod right now and I’d like to see that change. Overall though, it’s a good app that just needs some quality of life improvements!.Version: 3.4

Libre3I use this with my cell phone. I only have one issue. It at times can loose signal. I have all the updates but every so often it looses connection. I find that I can tell when I am high or low. App can set your lowest number you want to go and the high as you want to go. Application will beep and let you know when you hit these levels. It will show if you are going up or down. Without it it I had way to many lows. I went from an A1C of 13.4 and with the Libre 3 I have gone down to a 7.2 in six months. I am so far sold on Libre 3. I like that it is half the size of the Libre 2. I always was hitting the 2 on things and knocking it if my arm. With the Libre 3 I haven’t had it happen anymore. I do suggest that when I change after the 14 days to a new one. I do it when I am at a cooler body temperature and have the hour to start using to be able to be sitting and stay cool. Before doing it this way I had problems with it also staying on. As I have used I have learned some in and outs about it. I so far am not unhappy with the Libre 3..Version: 3.4

Reversed to pre-diabetesI recently took labs and went from 6.9% A1C to 6.1% from April 4th to June 15th. I focused on what I was eating and checking the Libre3 app. I did some walking if I ate a starchy-carb heavy meal, but that’s it. 90% was food and this app helped me greatly. I agree with others that there is much to be desired w/this app, a lot more features could be added, but at the bare minimum, it did what I needed it to do. I checked the app if I felt hot, light-headed, checked after eating certain foods, checked after feeling stressed and during sleep. This helped me better to understand my body and how it reacts. So with that, I’m still going to use it until I reverse my diabetes completely. I’m paying out of pocket for the sensors and it’s so worth every penny especially if it involves your health..Version: 3.4
