Ratings and Reviews
Best version so far.
Saying that this is the best version so far is not saying a whole lot.
From my experience the Libre series of CGM is flawed at best and dangerous at worst. While they do what they are supposed to do, the lack of adjustments makes it difficult to trust the results. There is no way to let the system know that the sensor is giving inaccurate results except removing it and putting on a new one. The addition of the sound control is something the series has really needed. Having to completely turn off the sensor to have it be quiet for a short time seems dangerous, so this new feature is greatly appreciated. My one complaint about the interface is the selector that looks like some kind of WiFi or signal connection, but is actually used to install a new sensor is baffling. The only two selectable items on the Home Screen are this WiFi looking thing and a plus sign to add new information, ie food eaten, long acting insulin, slow acting insulin, etc.
This edition of the Libre series is the best so far, maybe soon they’ll catch up to the Dexcom, but by then my insurance won’t pay for the Libre and I’ll have to switch back to the Dexcom.

Thanks for letting us know. We appreciate the feedback.
Nice app but still needs some improvements
I like the new Libre CGM app but I still like the Dexcom app better. I recently switched to Dexcom but I had a Libre sensor left so I used it. The Libre sensor doesn’t seem to be as accurate. I actually had two sensor in at once when I was changing them. One was the old one you scan and the new one was with the new app that gives the CGM. The glucose readings were way off. Even when I took into account the constant changes they were not even close. They were off by as much as 40 points. Being a nurse this concerned me. Now when I switched sensors with my Dexcom the readings were off by just a few points, less than 5. I like to be able to see a chart of my recent BG readings in a chart form and this app doesn’t do that. I can quickly glance at it and use the numbers I need. I don’t always want to see just the dots on a graph. You can slide the cursor to see the BG numbers which is nice but that’s an extra step. As a nurse I’m all about quickness, accuracy and convenience.

It’s taking awhile to figure this out
I had been using your older app a number of years and couldn’t understand why I needed a new one. While I still can’t answer that question, I’m getting more comfortable with it. The biggest change I’m seeing is that the app when activated (and it is activated all the time in background), it reads my sensor on its own before I can manually scan it using my hand. I’ll bring the app into the foreground and note my blood sugar number. Then I’ll do a manual blood sugar reading and my number remains unchanged. My biggest complaint is that I miss the old history listing. In the old app, I could pull up a table listing my readings throughout the day. In the new app, this seems to be a graph which is harder to read. It’s a case of one step forward and one step back.
