Dexcom Share2 App Reviews

Crappy app

I hate having to put in my password for followers every half hour. The dang app is just not properly working

Love it, but its also lacking...

I love having the Share2 app along with Share being built into my receiver now. It helps having loved ones keeping an eye on things. However, I tend to lose connectivity a lot lately which is frustrating. One thing I wish the app had was a tab for the Daily Trends like Studio has (or even if it were in a separate Dexcom Studio app specifically for iPhone/iPad). It would help tremendously so I can make decisions without having to go to my computer each time - especially since the Health app that Apple has is VERY limited and wont let you customize your view of the BGs that are imported (upper/lower thresholds, etc).

Follow yourself

For all the people upset that their phones dont alert them of high or low blood sugar, follow yourself. I set it up the same as my Dexcom receiver alerts. Works great, you just have to download the follow app.

Waiting for my Apple Watch in June?

At 1:43 AM April 24 was able to view this update on Apple Watch App Store. This app on numerous occasions has awakened me and my wife at night to low blood sugar. Now waiting for my Apple Watch hopefully earlier than the forecast of June. This would be extremely helpful when driving when I frequently receive the signal of the receiver but have difficulty pulling it out or need to ask my wife to look at her iPhone to determine if I need to take action. The Apple Watch will enable me to quickly determine the action I need to take. Thank you Dexcom (!!!!!) I have been looking for something like this for many years.

3hr, 6hr, 12hr and 24hr views on watch?

I love this app on my apple watch! Being able to see my glucose numbers at a glance on my wrist is priceless!! I even get high and low notifications by following myself. One suggestion for the next revision is to be able to switch between 3hr, 6hr, 12hr and 24hr views on the watch, same as you can do on the phone. The digital crown would be perfect for scrolling through those!

Great so far

Drains battery more quickly but otherwise great. Cant wait until the integration with TSlim!

Amazing

Love being able to view on my iPhone.

Amazing Technology

How amazing is it to glance at your wrist for your BG? Some might not find this that revolutionary, but eventually Dexcom will phase out the receiver and the sensor will transmit straight to the iPhone/Watch. This will further simplify the devices and miscellaneous stuff diabetics carry around. Only suggestions would be turning the bezel for time periods; low/high alerts; and time indicator on the BG reading. Thank you Dexcom and Apple!!!!

Incomplete and ugly

Very incomplete!!! Doesnt let user user enter data like bolus/carbs/exercise (like on the dexcom receiver). Doesnt give the option for the phone/watch give us a warning for high/low glucose or for calibration. Doesnt enable statistical visualization of data AND its appearance is just very ugly. Totally non professional. Looks like built by amateurs.

G4 + Watch + iPhone = Pure Awesomeness!

So I got my dexcom a few weeks ago and in itself it have been amazing. With the share app my husband can see at anytime what my sugars are with the follow app. On to the watch... Just when you though it couldnt get better it does. I now have my blood sugars at the flick of my wrist. Once you call up the glance it takes but just a few seconds to update from the receiver. I have but a few recommendations that would be nice. First - update the app to iPhone 6+ resolution. Second - for the watch app being able to use the digital crown to zoom into 3,6,12,24 hour views would be great. Thank you for an amazing device and integration with iOS. These tools are making our lives so much easier to manage diabetes.

Dexcom +Share, iPhone, Apple Watch

Just connected my devices to my upgraded Dexcom with Share easy to do. I too have some suggestions. I really would like to be able to set the alerts through my phone which would occur on my watch. The alerts are most important for me, so this is a need. The colors on the watch are really ugly, but this is just a personal opinion. Showing the time and 3-6-12-24 would be nice. I look forward to the future when the sensors can work directly with the iPhone and the receiver can be a thing of the past.

only app that does not allow pasting password

Cannot use unless you have a simple password. Boo!!!!

Almost there

Great app. Works well with Dexcom, but is only missing one thing- the user should be able to calibrate the Dexcom from their device that they have the app on.

Eh

It never stays connected to the meter and takes about 10 minutes for you to be standing right next to the meter for it to reconnect. The idea is good, but it needs to run in the background and stay connected better.

So handy, could use more features/old features

I love being able to see blood sugars on my phone. I miss not having a lag between it and Apple Health. Please remove the lag! Also, it would be handy to get notifications from the app. Right now I have shared it with myself, so I have the follow app too. Sometimes my Dexcom receiver is tucked away and the notifications on my phone really help.

Unreliable and too basic

Crashes and disconnects *far* too often. A bit of a battery pig (10% on average). Starting to think its not really worth the trouble.

App for watch need an Update

APP FOR WATCH NEEDS AN UPDATE! We need to incorporate the feedback for allowing the crown to pivot time view (3, 6, 12, 24 hrs). This is basic stuff developers, come on!

Okay but could do more

The concept of this app is great, but the lack of a low/high alarm is a bit frustrating. Im sure that this is because of FDA regulation. Even still, it would be nice if I could eliminate any need to carry around the remote in my pocket.

Love it, and thank you!

Not complaining, but if I had a wish list I would like to see daily or weekly averages.

Connection error bug

Please kill this bug. At least once or twice a day I get an error message for "receiver not connected" prompting me to open the app to connect. Once you swipe the error, the phone opens the app and then crash. After opening again the app, it works fine for several hours before crashing again...
