Ratings and reviews

DAMAGES SENSOR, DO NOT USE! I tried to activate my libre pro sensor with this app, and it corrupted the sensor entirely and it made it completely useless! Total loss of sensor, Glimp app won't be able to ready glucose levels after initialising from this app. Sensors are expensive, and not to be experimented. Learnt the hard way

Many of my used Libre link 1 sensors work for a few days then break (as in stop functioning) before reaching the end of their advertised life. Today I wore a new sensor but the Libre app showed the dysfunction an hour only after having it on. I downloaded this app because it mentioned the repair functionality in the updates however, I cannot navigate to that page on the interface because there is only scan. When I scan the sensor with Glimp S, the app says libre sensor of unrecognizable type.

Excellent tool. Obviously people should be aware that if you start the sensor with this app, you will have to read that sensor with Glimp, you won't be able to use the Abbot hardware scanner. That's just how Abbot designed the Libre. Still this app is useful if you are caught without the hardware scanner and can't / don't want to use the Abbott LibreLink app to initialise the sensor.
