My love for the G6 app and G6
I love the G6 and the G6 app. I’ve used G7. I prefer the G6. I would wish you would keep it.

Dexcom G6 Reviews
Works great until an iOS update.
Seems to have stopped working since the iOS 18.2 update.. it’s stuck on “signal loss”. E: after messing with things, it turns out it my sensor went bad. I put in the new one and all is back working again 👍🏻
Issues
I have been having issues with this app from the getgo. It never pairs to what my meter states. I correct it in the app and bam!!! It goes down to 91 from 118. Ya’ll need to have updates to resolve this problem, or i can take my business elsewhere!!
Connection issues
I am an active 13 year old who does many sports and after school activity’s. For instance when I’m doing ballet, I was wearing the Apple Watch that is compared with my phone, it lost connection. And when I’m sleeping and my dexcom isn’t against the bed, guess what, it loses connection, even during quiz bowl, it gives me a random lost connection alarm even if I’m right next to it wth dexcom. Figure out the g6 before you go into the g7. (P.s, the g7 doesn’t connect either wth dexcom.)
Just an appalling app
This app crashes more than a drunk driver and is about a stable as nitroglycerin on a rollercoaster.
Frustrated Dexcom user
Every time you update iwatch app you take away something. I used to be able to see my Dexcom readings on iwatch whether I used one of your standard backgrounds or my photos but now Dexcom is not even a choice. Please give this choice back!!
G6 app (for iOS) is absolutely terrible.
Pretty sure this app and sensor took the bench to G7 and Stelo ($$$). It is extremely problematic, unreliable and underdeveloped. Primitive technology
Using Dexcom 3 yrs
Since using dexcom my A1C has has dropped 2.75 points. Everyone with diabetes should have one
Not Reliable
The product/app better than nothing for this insulin dependent diabetic. The issues: Being woken up at 2am with a low alert and it’s a false reading; CGM reading, both highs and lows, well outside the 20% margin; when attempting to calibrate CGM to meter reading, does not take input; Sensor generally does not last the advertised 10 days, starts to malfunction and give errors around Day 7/8.
Loses sensor signal at to much
I use Dexcom so I don’t have to stab my fingers and my pump can work properly but more often than not the app says signal loss wait 30 minutes every single session.The crazy thing is that my pump usually still has signal and none of my other Bluetooth connections ever drop so it’s apparently just the app. Also customer service is so hit or miss (lately way more misses than hits) when you try to call them because you have hours without signal on the app. The issues have gotten worse since they started really pushing the g7 (which again when you call they push like a sales push at you) but of course my insurance doesn’t cover that yet. These devices are too expensive to not work most of the time and it’s getting really old now.
