Learn more about compatible phones at ◆◆◆◆◆◆ USING YOUR APP AND READER WITH THE SAME SENSOR If you would like to use both the FreeStyle Libre Reader and the App with the same Sensor, you need to start the Sensor with the Reader first and then scan with your phone. Note that FreeStyle LibreLink and Readers do not share data with each other. For complete information on a device, scan your Sensor every 8 hours with that device; otherwise, your reports will not include all your data. You can upload and view data from all of your devices on LibreView.com. APP INFORMATION FreeStyle LibreLink is intended for measuring glucose levels in people with diabetes when used with a Sensor. For more information on how to use FreeStyle LibreLink, refer to the User’s Manual, which can be accessed through the app. If you require a printed User’s Manual, contact Abbott Diabetes Care Customer Support. Learn more about FreeStyle LibreLink at [1] If you are using the FreeStyle LibreLink app, you must also have access to a blood glucose monitoring system as the App does not provide one. Fingersticks are required for treatment decisions when you see the Check Blood Glucose symbol, when symptoms do not match system readings, when you suspect readings may be inaccurate, or when you experience symptoms that may be due to high or low blood glucose.

This app has never worked well but since the Apple update it’s awful! Fix it! -- Jbrufr, 2025-01-03 ### ***-- "Why Do I Need to Scan with the LibreLink" I’m confused as to why scanning is required when the sensor is clearly monitoring your glucose. At least according to the graph on the app. I scan and it shows what the trend has been. I’d much prefer to just be able to look and see where I’m at, as I find I forget to “scan” quite often. Seems pointless. Sadly this is the only monitor my insurance will cover. -- photokat92, 2024-12-30 ### **--- "The app has become very slow" It takes multiple taps for Scan button to work and then 10 seconds to show the results -- Lack of HD Support, 2024-12-27 ### ***-- "iOS 18.2 Bug" Daily Patterns Screenshot Fails -- Navigating Blind, 2024-12-22 ### *---- "App" Nothing happens when I hit the “scan” button. I even took app off and re-loaded it. -- dragonDervish, 2024-12-20 ### *---- "Slow updates" Every time Apple updates, takes Abbott forever to catch up. And the original readers are discontinued with zero support, so if it dies, the sensors are useless. Seek another brand. -- Rickman30, 2024-12-09 ### **--- "Unsure Why" I’m unsure why a billion dollar corporation would put out a marginal app compared to similar apps. It must be political because anything else is uncouth. -- JackSeeYouLater, 2024-12-08 ### **--- "Disappointed" The sensor stopped working after 5 days -- Nanawarbucks, 2024-12-08 ### *---- "Region locked" The sensors are region locked. Absolutely stupid when you travel. Buy an EU sensor and can’t read it in the US and vice versa. Who does this these days ??! -- yadsl, 2024-11-29 ### *---- "No Apple Health integration" Rather have a solution with Apple Health integration -- MrSkoTA, 2024-11-23 ### *---- "sensor bricked" updated the app and it cleared all data and bricked my running sensor contacted customer service and was accused of lying by the rep used to really love the product but couldn’t be more let down -- Eeeeeepp, 2024-11-10 ### *---- "Do not update app. You will lose your data." Third Update: IPhone users, DO NOT UPDATE THE APP. App is not computable with iOS 17 and above. I had a problem and called customer service. They told me the APP is not comparable with iOS 17. This version of the iOS has been out a long time and it’s unacceptable that have not made the app compatible with the OS. Upgrade app purged/deleted ALL HISTORY. And, upgrading requires giving Abbott labs, unfettered unrestricted access to your medical information and to use it and sell the information. Only users in the EU or California can opt out. Downgrading to one star. It is unacceptable to delete all data and require users to give up their privacy rights regarding their medical information. Second Update: I have more than 65 sensors of experience. In all that time, I have had 2 sensors get knocked off and 1 sensor I removed because it hurt. I think this sensor did not insert correctly. These sensors and the app is just part of my life now and is invaluable. My only issue is getting the sensors. Often refills are delayed 5 to 10 days because out of stock which means going without a sensor for days. It’s not clear if this is a manufacture or Walgreens pharmacy issue. Still only average rating. Can’t get data downloads for personal use without also giving away privacy rights on the data at the same time, and there is no integration with Apple’s health app or any 3rd party app. Update. Been using it for a while. Overall works well. I have two sensors out of 25 fall off from sweat or being scraped off the arm by a door way. Still fairly happy. Down grading to 3 stars from 4. Just average. Privacy statement keeps changing and for US users there continues to be no data privacy. The manufacture uses your collected data from the device any way it wants and does not readily explain what data is collected in a useful manner. Original Post: I read hundreds of the recent reviews which gave me great concern and pause. First week of use was a different and more positive experience for me. Setup and First Use: Setup easier than instructions make you think. Accuracy - Good Enough after First Day: First read required an hour startup. It said an hour before first read and it took an hour. First read much higher than blood test - much more than could be explained by difference in test type. Each read in first day recommend a blood test. After the first day, results seemed to be close enough going on seven days. A sudden drop or increase came with suggestion for -- KB0SIS, 2024-11-08 ### *---- "Extremely inaccurate" Please don’t waste your money on this brand of glucose monitor. Readings are never even close to what my finger sticks show and could lead to severe medical issues if you only rely on what the monitor shows. There is no way to calibrate finger stick readings with what the sensor shows so it cannot “learn” and become more accurate. I stopped using the Freestyle Libre 8 months ago and switched to the Dexcom G7, but my Dexcom expired and I need my paycheck to pick up my next prescription. Saw I had an extra Freestyle and thought it was better than nothing, but this isn’t the case. It’s useless. Sensor reading on first use was 105. Finger stick 185!! Had I not remembered how wildly inaccurate the Freestyle was I would have not taken any insulin and went hours with high blood sugars. Getting ready for bed and just checked again. This time the sensor say my sugar level is 60 (I don’t feel low sugar effects) so I did a finger stick and my sugars are 110. Again the sensor could have caused me to sleep with high blood sugar had I of eaten or taken a glucose tab. Go with the Dexcom G7! Smaller, 30 minute warm up, has the ability to calibrate with finger sticks so it learns, but the main reason is it extremely accurate. Just removed this Freestyle sensor and trashed it. Thank God it was my last one. -- Valorus, 2024-11-08 ### *---- "Bugs" This app has several bugs. It is challenging to scan the sensor and the feedback is slow. -- Kp1262, 2024-10-13 ### *---- "Worthless" This application is totally worthless, the alarms don’t work, even having scanned my sensor a few times the result doesn’t appear at all on the screen, not even in the logbook, nothing at all works. I’m using the 9th. sensor and I can’t check my glucose with this. Also, the system to follow up on my comments by your company when you advise me to look at your answer it’s awful, you expect me to go over hundreds of other comments to be able to look up your response and I’m not going to waste my time that way. -- Tucson2020, 2024-10-12 ### *---- "Not there yet" Garbage. I have to scan 4 times to get a good reading Not ready for prime time Expensive and glitch. Not recommended -- Malu itabuna, 2024-10-11 ### *---- "I use to love these!" I use to love these. Though my last two batches have been like pulling teeth through my insurance. Then all of them stop working within 3 days of application!!! On top of this! Now the links won’t work and in the App Store it says it is not compatible with my iPhone! Though it was for over a couple of years! Frustrating. -- Hispower321, 2024-10-06 ### *---- "Horrendous!!!!" Ignorant customer service. Turns out that this app doesn’t work with version 17.7 of the app update. So I wasted THREE sensors because the rep was clueless. They told me me to contact apple. Ha! As if….. -- RinRecovery, 2024-10-05 ### **--- "Can’t see specific time levels" This app gives you a chart, but you can’t see the exact time and glucose reading numbers which completely defeats the purpose of a CGM -- JennHNH, 2024-10-02 ### **--- "inaccurate" The app consistently reads 15 to 25 pts lower than my keto mojo manual tester.. There is no feature within this app to perform a sensor calibration adjustment.. -- unhappyjoe32244, 2024-09-19 [View all FreeStyle LibreLink - US reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## FreeStyle LibreLink - US Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Free | United States | Medical | #202 | ## FreeStyle LibreLink - US Discovered Keywords - blood sugar app - cgm - freestyle - freestyle libre two - freestyle libre 2 app - free style libre 14 day - freestyle lite - freestyle librelink - freestyle libre 2 - libra 2 ## Apps Similar to FreeStyle LibreLink - US - [Glucose Buddy Diabetes Tracker](https://apptail.io/app/glucose-buddy-diabetes-tracker-Yc/united-states) - [One Drop: Better Health Today](https://apptail.io/app/one-drop-better-health-today-Nyg/united-states) - [Glucose | Blood Sugar Tracker](https://apptail.io/app/glucose-blood-sugar-tracker-lLj/united-states) - [LibreLinkUp](https://apptail.io/app/librelinkup-XkH/united-states) - [Dexcom Clarity](https://apptail.io/app/dexcom-clarity-YkH/united-states) - [Dexcom G6](https://apptail.io/app/dexcom-g6-blH/united-states) - [Nutrisense: Glucose Tracker](https://apptail.io/app/nutrisense-glucose-tracker-XLM/united-states) - [Levels - Metabolic Health](https://apptail.io/app/levels-metabolic-health-dOM/united-states) - [Dexcom Follow (US)](https://apptail.io/app/dexcom-follow-us-toyc/united-states) - [Dexcom G7](https://apptail.io/app/dexcom-g7-BfXd/united-states) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
