FreeStyle Libre 3 is designed for individuals seeking a discreet and convenient way to monitor their glucose levels. Its primary advantage lies in its small sensor size and continuous monitoring, which eliminates the need for frequent fingersticks. The app provides real-time glucose readings and alerts directly to your smartphone, and some users appreciate its Apple Watch integration. However, some users have reported that the low glucose alerts on the Apple Watch can be subtle and easily missed, and others have noted bugs with the app freezing and difficulties with data loading, particularly after updates. Despite these drawbacks, the core functionality of continuous glucose monitoring remains valuable for many users. The app aims to provide a seamless experience, but user feedback indicates there's room for improvement in reliability and alert functionality.

"Generally a great app and works well for me. But one issue is if you have an Apple Watch the low glucose alerts are subtle notifications on the watch and no sound alarm from the phone. So I either sleep through it or my wife notices and wakes me up."
