Dexcom G6 App Reviews

Dexcom canceled G6 if you have some still you can use it or you switch to G7. R.I.P G6

Sad that these got discontinued, it was a huge breakthrough in diabetes management technology and had a good experience from 2018 to 2026.

-Update- Based on the automated response below, I think it’s safe to assume that this update will do nothing except remind you every 20 minutes that the G6 is being phased out, therefore it’s best not to do this update unless you want to be annoyed. Continue to use your remaining G6 patches in peace. — If the only purpose in this update is to let us know that the G6 is being phased out please tell us that! It’s not worth updating if that’s the only difference

For my current and last 3 sensors, it would fail on day 6 or 7. The dots would be all over the place even after calibrating. It gives false lows like saying I was 90 when I was really 150+. It once said I was 54 but I was really 150+. The only good thing is they send a free replacement each time. They should look into why the sensors and or transmitter is failing so frequently. Yes, I know they’re phasing G6 out. I was having false lows when I was on G7 (almost a year ago) but hoping they fix th

The app is solid besides the fact that the alerts go off every 5 minutes regardless of the frequency I set. It is INCREDIBLY annoying and the app has been doing it for 4years with no change. I can tell it to beep me every 3 and a half hours, and it will still go off every 5 minutes

Overall, when it works, it works well. However, I’ve had to have Dexcom mail me replacement sensors due to failure, especially with the 15 day sensor. Another issue I have is takes an hour for the sensor to connect to my phone. Also, it takes an eternity to have the sensor sync with my iPhone. Wish all of this could be improved.

League better the Dexcom 7

It would be great if this was available for iPad too. I’ve misplaced my phone and am unable to get readings

Happy with the app, gets the job done. Have a request for the developers, it’s really hard to read the time stamps for the recorder bolus’ because the numbers are VERY small and light grey on the white background. Would so very much appreciate if you could make them bigger and with better contrast.

Absolutely love the G6 it is much more accurate then the G7 yes i run both. Too bad that the G6 is getting phased out. The reason being that I prefer the G6 over the G7 is because the cannula is much longer than the one on the G7.

OK so most apps now a days have a dark mode. Some people's eyes can't handle all the screen time required for diabetes. Add a dark mode! Adding my diabetic eyes can't handle your app. Diabetic 54 years. Need a dark mode.

Understanding that our eyes are very important you are one of the only apps in the Apple iPhone App Store that does not have a dark mode. I look at computer screens all day long like millions of Americans and people throughout the world and I absolutely would love to see a dark mode option for your app. Also, can you do something about the app losing connection with the transmitter. It’s annoying and when it beeps in the middle of a meeting with my boss, it’s not polite to hear. Anyway, the a

If the app didn’t stop working all the sudden and tell me to delete and reinstall it with no explanation as to how to prevent this in the future it would be fine.

Like the app, but they need to include a general event category where you can add a couple words description: such as, "Metformin 1000", "Berberine 500", Fiber XXX", Sugar blocker", "1c G-Tea", "1hr Sleep" etc.

It’s a good app but it takes to long to install

The app works pretty well for me. I do have a suggestion though. Either on the panel where screen time and battery percentage is shown add a widget that tells me my blood sugar so I don’t have to keep the app open constantly. Also please add it to the Lock Screen as well. Thanks.

I’ve had type 1 diabetes for 10yrs now, I’m a 48 year old man. I’ve had the G6 linked to my omnipod 5 for one year now. It’s changed my life I feel like I’m not a diabetic anymore. Thank you, God bless you. If your a diabetic and you don’t have one your making a mistake. Sincerely, Joshua Winters

I keep getting a message that the app fails. Once This happens I have to reinsert a new sensor and remove the old prematurely. It’s happening so frequently and it’s very frustrating because the sensors are so expensive.

This app is amazing, once you go through all of its capabilities. The transmitter is accurate to about 10 points either way, compared to using a glucometer. I recommend it to anyone who is on the go, and despises the finger stick!!!!

Ok, I’ve used Dexcom for years and it’s literally the only CGM I will trust. It integrates with my t:Slim pump perfectly. That said, I simple do not understand why in 2024 that Dexcom it’s CarPlay compatible. It is not safe to look at your phone while driving and if there were a CarPlay widget it would be a little safer. How hard can it possibly be to add this functionality? Do Better Dexcom!!!

The app when used as a widget displays stale glucose level unless the app is opened and refreshed. It is also jumping up and down between numbers. Last night it missed about 12hrs of data and shows nothing. Please help

The Dexcom G6 is great it helps to keep me on track with my sugar. When I start to feel sluggish I can just look at my phone real quick and see that my sugar is dropping. I love not having to always carry my meter and stick my finger when I go out.

It reads all the time and when we change my Dexcom G6, which I used to have a G7, but now I have a G6 because I got the Amdy pump and that’s also a great pump and this is also a great app for me and everybody loves it!

I wore the DexCom 1 and 6 is light years ahead of the original version. I give it five stars for reliability and accuracy. Sign me as a “grateful T1 user.”

Great app, but one complaint, it needs dark mode, in the follow app it has Dark Mode, but not in the share app, but overall great.

I’d like to know if you be adding the G7 Thank you for the help with the G6 it was a great tool in helping a lot and being able to share helps Thank you DLM

Unfortunately after 3 years of use this has been more of a challenge then a help with managing my blood glucose. After calibration it will have its periods of inaccurate readings and many sensor failures. When it works it works but be aware that the sensor might randomly fail .

How come the most recent app update removed seeing my blood sugar at a glance on my watch face? I don’t always have the free hands to hold let alone open my phone and app to do a simple blood sugar check. Also I wish I could clear alerts for the app on my watch. Some nights when I am putting my baby back to sleep my blood sugar spikes and I don’t have my phone with me and the constant alerts keeps my baby awake. Please return the watch face feature. Also the alarms used to wake me up. What happe

To begin, I like the reporting to the Clarify app. However, I get a lot of alarms. Most of which are during the night when I have highs and lows. I am aware of these. I do not need the alerts going off at the highest volume my phone supports. I would recognize alerts if the volume was lower. That’s if I had volume control or have the app respect the volume level of my phone. I do not need that to be overridden. Especially if I’m in business meetings and it goes off. Not cool. Please update and

I keep my phone on silent and do not like when the app beeps LOUDLY. I wouldn’t care if I was actually wearing a sensor or transmitter but when it beeps loudly to tell me sensor failed and I already took off the sensor because it was expired and I completely closed out of the app to stop the blaring beeps at work it’s super annoying! It works great for its purpose but you should be able to stop or at least silence the beeping when you are not wearing a sensor and especially if you close all th

Suddenly I can no longer share to my family my blood sugars. I live alone and it keeps saying no internet. I suspect this is due to new iOS update. I others have same issue.

Was extremely upset when the apple watch widget was suddenly moved solely to one of the small spaces on my watch face… Also, after the ios 18 update on iphone there is now only a small widget selection on there too. PLEASE fix this on apple devices as it makes it extremely difficult for those like me who rely on quick check ups, and don’t want to have to open up the app every time I want to check my blood sugar. Thanks!

Used to be able to touch the graph points and see what your levels were at different times, but when you touch the graph to move dots, the entire screen flips 🤔

I need to be able to pause or stop critical alerts. I already get alerts on my pump, and need the app silenced for meetings and conference calls. They help a lot in the middle of the night if I have a low, but don’t help my ADHD during business hours.

I have used this app for years and I have loved every bit of it. That is, until recently. There seems to be an issue with the critical alerts as it tells me that I cannot use the app until they are turned on. This is confusing, as I have every notification sound on for this app and I have all icons checked to give me notifications. I’ve tried to reset my phone multiple times, and restart the app but it really seems like there’s no way to get rid of the pop up. I don’t know what’s going on and I’
