Ratings and reviews

The app is functional, but hardly ever shows correct readings in my experience. I was told to rely on a finger stick meter for the most accurate readings, and the Dexcom is always giving me wild numbers while finger sticks are giving me about what I'd expect. It's easy to use the app and it opens easy, but like I said, it just gives me bizarre and incredibly wrong readings.

They went from occasionally permanently turning on DND to turning it on EVERY SINGLE DAY. At least before it only happened when the G7 had an alert. And what is their standard response? Nothing, except pushing us to submit tickets they'll ignore. Spent over an hour in queue with support... and most of that time was waiting to talk to someone, then having to start again when they dropped the call. Can't wait to finish using up my current supply so I can switch brands.

Update: The sensors are not the problem. the issue is the app continuously loses connection. The only way I can get this to work briefly is to turn the Bluetooth on and off which will work sometimes, if that doesn't then I restart my phone. When it does connect, I see all the missed readings from the past few hours but then it loses signal in about 10 mins. I've noticed that if I leave the app open and up on the phone screen it stays connected. The minute the screen times out I lose connection.
