The FreeStyle LibreLink app is approved for use with FreeStyle Libre and FreeStyle Libre 2 system sensors. You can check your glucose by scanning your sensor with your phone. Now FreeStyle Libre 2 system sensor users can get automatic glucose readings in the FreeStyle LibreLink app, updated every minute, and also receive alarms when your glucose is low or high. [1][2]
You can use the FreeStyle LibreLink app to:
* View your current glucose reading, trend arrow and glucose history
* Receive low or high glucose alarms with FreeStyle Libre 2 system sensors [2]
* Add notes to track your food, insulin use and exercise
* See reports, such as Time in Range and Daily Patterns
* Share your data with your doctor and family, with your permission [3]
SMARTPHONE COMPATIBILITY
Compatibility may vary between phones and operating systems. Learn more about compatible phones at http://FreeStyleLibre.com.
USING YOUR APP AND READER WITH THE SAME SENSOR
Alarms can only be issued on your FreeStyle Libre 2 reader or your phone (not both). To receive alarms on your phone, you must start the sensor with the app. To receive alarms on your FreeStyle Libre 2 reader, you must start the sensor with your reader. Once the sensor has been started with the reader, you can also scan that sensor with your phone.
Remember that the app and reader do not share data with each other. For complete information on a device, scan your sensor every eight 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.

It would be extremely useful to have the following data and features on the app:You do not need extra development for these features as such.- Standard Deviation of the readings, this will show how far I am from my average. With the existing backend data, you can easily obtain this number. Standard deviation is a number vital for type 1 diabetic to understand the quality of sugar control. Lower the number, it means we are better in controlling our glucose volatility. Which thus means better quality of life. - Easier and user friendly graph navigation, show all points that sensor records every 15 minutes i believe. We should also be able to scroll through the graph to view each point, like the one of a typical stock market graph. We should be able to zoom in and out of the graph. Increase the user friendliness with the graph and smarter graph information display. - The app should allow to send and share complete data information in detail on whatsapp or other platforms. For example i want to send my detail readings to my family members on whatsapp or my doctor. I do not want to reach out to the reader. This should be made available through the app. Sharing from the app is merely a screenshot level, which shows that in this department team has not put efforts. I should be able to put in dates, and extract full data points (all registered increments by the sensor and tapped by me) on a detailed excel sheet. On top of this, pdf version of comprehensive data and reporting with metrical analysis such as standard deviation, highs and lows, should be available for download. All this should be made available through the phone as we are living in a fast paced environment. I need all these features at hand during any second of my day. Thank you. Regards, Misha

Thanks for the suggestion. We are continuing to improve the app and we will look into this.
Libre 2: Graph Scale is unhelpful
Vexy13
Great app to monitor your glucose, however the lack of being able to change the range of view makes it really unhelpful when you’re trying to determine what your glucose readings were on a graph. The glucose axis jumps from 50 to 100 and then to 150. This makes it impossible to determine what the values on the graph were. You can’t even interact with the graph at a particular time to see what the reading was. 2 things I hope they can make better in the app:1. The scale of axis to be either adjustable or better yet, for the graph to be interactive to scroll to any point in time to get what the reading at that time was. This would be particularly helpful when you are trying to measure your glucose spike based on various variables such as a particular type of food. Unless you had scanned the data at the exact moment of the peak (which is impossible to know) you can’t really measure it accurately as the graph is not readable. So, it’s a bit annoying that the app and sensor are recording all this data but you just can’t read it. 2. To also display the average glucose for the day (this data is really helpful when you setting targets for yourselves and can adjust your food intake, exercise, etc)

Great sensor and app but showing errors
NotaHappyCustomerAE
I am using librelink sensor 2. It worked well for the first sensor. I was able to manage my sugar better with the low and high glucose alarms. Upon using my second sensor, I noticed that the alarms were not activated. Searching through the internet, it seems a common error. Hope this got resolved.Second issue is the backup of data. The only solution of above(alarm activation error) is to reinstall the app. This solution worked but I lost all my data. Would be great to have a cloud backup of my data.

App is Perfect But Missing a Key Figure
Gab Bushta
To Allow the App to have Widgets, so I don’t need to unlock my phone to see my sugar or I don’t need to go to the app itself to check my sugar (without the alarms)Add a feature that it can be added on Widgets on Home Screen and Lock Screen it makes it much easier and it makes things much simpler for others, for example a diabetic passed out and a nurse or the emergency needs to know their sugar without pricking as they have the CGM, it’s better to have an easy access to knowing the information.
