Ratings and reviews

I absolutely love Glimp but am really sad that it won't work with the 14 day sensors sold in the US. Glimp is the only thing that made me be able to use Libre, as without Glimp, Libre is too inaccurate for me to use, and the graph on the reader is pretty useless. The graph on Glimp is fantastic and the amount of info it provides can't be beat. The fact that the graph is interactive and can give you exact readings for any time in the past is invaluable, and the ability to zoom it to make it easier to get the info in wonderful. Being able to calibrate it when needed makes it always accurate, which is the most important thing in any kind of meter, and the statistics it gives are wonderful too, in fact, everything about it is wonderful. I love everything about Glimp and using it makes me love using Libre. Once I am out of the 10 day sensors I won't be able to use it, therefore I won't be able to use Libre since it is too inaccurate without using Glimp and I find that very upsetting. I am hoping that the developers of Glimp will soon find a way to make Glimp work with the 14 day sensors sold in the US so I, and many others who love it, can continue to use Libre and this wonderful app. The only problem I have with this app, aside from it not working for the 14 day sensors sold in the US, is the latest version takes much longer for it to give a vibration when scanning the sensor and even longer to get that second vibration when scanning the sensor than it ever did before. I have been using Glimp for almost 2 years and no other version has done this, but as long as it keeps scanning and working, I can live with it, even though I liked the way scanning worked in previous versions better. I wish I could figure out how to go back to the previous version without uninstalling the new one which would delete all my old readings. To the developers of Glimp, thank you so very much for having provided such a wonderful and helpful app to make the lives of diabetics so much easier. Please keep working on getting it working for the 14 day sensors sold in the US. I, and many others, will be very happy and grateful if you can make it work for the 14 day sensors sold in the US. Thank you again for your wonderful app and all of your hard work in providing this app for us.

A very good app. Really useful. Thanks for such nice work. Just a request that if you make the time in chart more spread out, those glucose lines won't look so steep then. I mean the space you have for 5 hours, make that for 2 hours or maybe even 1 hour. That will really update the end result. Or maybe add an option in settings to change that. Once again thanks alot for this nice app. It's a life saving work. Kudos

Does what I need it to do and doesn't seem to depend on a good internet connection or other servers, all which can fail. If having problems, keep in mind... we are dealing with two products (in my case)... Glimp and miaomioa (3...). Try reseating your miaomiao.... =) Also... when people say "Go to options, The menu item has been renamed to "settings".
