20 Positive User Reviews for Libre by Abbott

5 Stars

Love this sensor. Gives blood sugar reading all by itself.

Alarms

Great app, very accurate readings and very consistent. One thing I would really love as a diabetic with ADHD is the option to have the high glucose alarms repeated after a certain amount of time if they haven’t come down past the goal range. This would make the app perfect!

Apps

Got new prescription for different version of Libre sensor and existing app didn't work. Tossed the new sensors in the trash and using my last remaining old sensor.

Accuracy

Love the Libre 3plus. Only problem is, is that it’s uber sensitive. Always losing signal even if phone is 5 feet away. Lots of false low readings. Still better than poking my finger all the time

Wrong info

Sometimes I have to prick my finger cause the info is wrong

Learning about food and sugar spikes

Knowing blood sugars after eating will define and customize diet planning. Avoid foods and drinks that will spike blood sugars into the mid two hundreds.

Alarms

I liked Libre 2 but have NOT had much pleasure using Libre 3 + More often than not I don’t have alarms yet only app and have problem with. Without alarms it doesn’t signal alarming high and low and when it finally gets alarm again it suddenly shows hours of past alerts!!! When I take food or insulin it takes and keeps going off even though my body takes 15 to 40 min to show. I’ve updated yet still problems. Sometimes it allows to pt in data but 75% usually can’t enter anything. Liked when I

Pleasant improvement

I love the constant read on my blood sugar. Previous one you had to take your reading device out and run it over the sensor. It was not always convenient to do so but you also do not want everyone around you to feel like you need special attention. (And some people do 😉)

This app is messing with my battery life.

I gave this app three stars basically because it is draining the life out of my iPhone battery. Previously, I was using the libre two and three monitors and the apps that go with those two monitors and I never had a problem with the battery on my phone. I went to an Apple Store and they had to reset my iPhone. I have practically turned everything off, except for this monitor, the 3+, and I’m still having the battery drain. I have read other reviews and there are people reporting the same problem

So much better

This new app is so much better than the old app. Takes some getting used to but I love the improvements.

Freestyle

I love this new app. I don’t even have to scan it anymore, it does it all on its own.

Best Sensor

I love this sensor!

Mr

I like the continuous blood sugar concept; it helps me manage my blood sugar better

New app good but 1 serious issue

Overall the new app is good BUT too often when I return to the Libre app I bump the Insight button accidentally and have to get back to Home. Please change the arrangement. I need a quick view and often my number is not on screen

Better than previous version

This new version seems much better than the previous one I used. The readings are much faster and I can be further away from my phone, which I hate to drag around with me at home. Hopefully there will be an app for the Apple Watch soon, so I can check my levels at work without my phone.

New 2+

Great. Seems more responsive and reliable

Way better than other libre apps

Overall good app. Sometimes it lags when I try to log food or insulin, causing several of the same entry

3 Negative User Reviews for Libre by Abbott

Inconsistent but trends are important

Your Free Style Libre system is still a work in process. Still inconsistent results, still disconnects from system easily and often. Still your connector falls off too quickly. But, I watch trends and your system does allow me to follow trends, I just need to monitor your system for its various issues.

Disappointed

Not as user friendly as the three. Not able to download what I’ve eaten with before and after readings, not able to export a detailed report to analyze impact of foods Freeze up when trying to save entries

Needs work

It’s inability to read my glucose happens way too often and now that I’ve started taking insulin before bedtime makes it scary for me.
