FreeStyle LibreLink – GB

This app used to connect all the time. Now I can not remember when this app last done continuous blood sugar monitoring. I hope my health care provider can switch me to dexicom. I have sent on occasion to have my sensor replaced but no answer.

Too many times, the app stops giving CGM readings, so gaps can happen at times these things are important, and/or the flash won’t work as well. It can take 10 or more attempts to get a reading. Oh, and the sensors fail far too often. I reckon about 40% of mine fail and have to be changed.

I’ve been sat next to my phone all night and the libre2 has lost connection every 10 minutes. It’s been like this for weeks. I have latest iPhone so I don’t think it’s that. When it works it’s fantastic . It’s really turned my diabetic control around. But when it’s like this it’s more annoying than helpful.

It’s clever kit but all my other health data is in one place for any gp visits but to get libre data in it seems I’ve got to daisy chain multiple apps - why can’t it just be simple???

How can iPhone widgets and Apple Watch compatibility be missing on such an app in this day and age!? Many other apps offer this. Even third party apps. This should really be there from the beginning. No apple health integration either. Nowhere near as many features as Dexcom. Really needs a total overhaul and a very BIG update.

This sensor has transformed my life, thank you Libre, I’ve never had so much control in the 50+ years of Type 1 diabetes. I have so much confidence now when going out. Infact I’ve now been taken off the care of my diabetic team and back to my GP. Best invention ever..

Please fix the app crashing on launch

I hate not being able to rely on these

Love the freestyle sensor system, it has changed the way I manage my diabetes, the App is great, but I prefer to use the Freestyle Reader to start the sensor because the Alarms are nicer, either a subtle vibrate that will wake you or vibrate/beep that gets your attention in the daytime, I really want to use the App in CGM mode but the alarms are either a very brief vibrate, that won’t wake you, a single beep or a very loud siren, none are really suitable, the App needs more choice on alarm settings like a continuous vibrate or beeps with different volumes, maybe bespoke from the selection of sounds that the smartphone (iPhone) has on offer.

Unfortunately I have recently updated my iPhone iOS and this Librelink App has stopped scanning any new sensors. On 19th Dec 2024 I tried 3 new sensors with all failing to scan - far too many to be faulty sensors! Got Apple to run a diagnostics on my iPhone ( SE 2022 ) hardware and all was functioning perfectly. Therefore there is major problem with this Freestyle Libre App to anyone running iOS 18.0+ ( I even tried updating to the latest iOS 18.2 as a last resort which still failed ). Very poor / amateur conduct for a multi national company to not ensure that their software system App is functioning correctly on the latest iOS.
