Dexcom Share2 App Reviews

I received my new receiver yesterday and was thrilled. I promptly set everything up and explained to my husband how reassuring this would be. He works nights and was worried that a night time low would be missed and untreated. Ive lost consciousness 3 times in 2 weeks from hypoglycemic episodes in the middle of the night. The theory of SHARE is wonderful. The function of SHARE doesnt meet expectations of that technology. Receiver will not stay connected to my phone or his and requires resetting about every 15-30 minutes. Please, please, please fix this bug so it has better connectivity and delivers on its promises.

I love the idea of Share, but the receiver doesnt stay connected to my phone so really whats the point of it? Please fix whatever bug you need to fix so I can get the full benefit of Share.

I love the app! Wished it could write to the lock screen!! Also, love the flexibility of follower alerts would love the alerts on the share2 app itself. I know that blood glucose is coming back to health kit please increase how often it writes to dashboard. Love the watch app as well. I would love to see the ability to show 6 12 and 24 with a roll of the crown (hopefully in the next rev) or the ability to add the BG and arrow to replace one of the corners on the configured watch faces... Thank you for the discrete functionality!!! Its my first configured glance only place better would be a corner on a watch face!!!

Overall, pretty decent! Easier on battery than I thought it would be, ok interface, good feature set. Feature requests: - let me paste into the password field. I have a password manager. Not letting me paste is making me less secure, not more. - my provider is having trouble with the whole "share" thing. Better documentation would help me help them.

This is a great app for all diabetics, you should also get the share follow app if you want anybody to be alerted if you are high or low. Suggestion: I think it would be very helpful if you could calibrate the CGM on the phone. Hope this helped!

Every time I open the app it has me enter the password. This is really annoying.

It often loses connection and you have to tap the status to reconnect. You think they are connected but they are not, missing important notifications. Can you make it where it notifies you if it loses connection with the receiver? Or maybe it attempts to reconnect more often when it loses Bluetooth connection?

I started 30 years ago testing urine samples with a chemistry kit. No joke. So to have continuous data sent to my phone via Bluetooth is like magic. I love it. Thank you. Any chance the data can get pushed to the lock screen? Its almost easier to pull the normal receiver out of my pocket than to access data from the app when I want to check my number quickly.

Having my blood sugar displayed on the Apple Watch is AMAZING! I use the watch setting that will "display last used app" rather than defaulting to the watch face, and with a simple turn of the wrist I know where Im at! Im checking much more often now- not because I need to but because its so effortless. Get the watch and you wont be disappointed, it might be one of the best things, if not THE best thing you can do to track your levels.

After using for a couple days, here is my feedback: pretty good overall. App needs iPad support, App needs zoom and scroll, and some kind of history access beyond 24 hours. App needs support for landscape mode. App is reasonable for upload services, but I expect a lot for 1k US for the device associated, and software.

Not compatible with iOS 9 yet. Please come out with an update!

Other then the fact the app isnt compatible with iOS9 I love the app but please fix its compatibility

Dexcom has yet to fix this app so it will work with iOS9. Absolutely unacceptable on their part as they didnt warn users of compatibility issues.

The app pretty much does the bare minimum to be acceptable (shows the same glucose data in the same timeframes you can see on the receiver) , and comes loaded with extra features which I find pointless (sharing your glucose to select followers.. creepy). There is one feature that would be life changing that I am hoping is on Dexcoms radar: being able to see your glucose levels on your apple watchs watch face. This is 100% possible using the watchOS 2 SDK. Secondarily, I hope there will be a robust array of settings for the various types of notifications the Dexcom system generated (low, high, out of range, etc.) and that we will be able to receive this on our wrists as we see fit. It would also be nice to actually view the ancillary data like food and insulin on the phones interface. And a longer history, for that matter. Finally, ditch the cartoons. This is diabetes, not a childrens book.

Needs more than just the trend graph. If Im entering my insulin & carbs to my Dexcom, it would be very helpful to see this info on the app. Its crucial to know how much insulin you have on board. Too basic for a very needed medical app.

The entire reason I got an Apple Watch was so I could monitor my glucose via this Dexcom follow app. It worked beautifully at first. I could quickly check my level by looking in the "glances" section of my watch. That ended the day I updated to the very first software update for the watch. I keep waiting for an update to the Dexcom app, as has been the case with numerous other third party watch apps. Not the case thus far. Come on Dexcom. This is important!!! Please fix this ASAP!!!!!

Can you add fingerprint recognition?

Please update this app so that it functions properly is compatible with iOS 9 update. No peace of mind with this share app.

I loved this app, but the Oct 28 update works on phone, but the watch app doesnt ever finish "Installing..." Tried deleting and redownloading on both watch and phone, no luck. Help?

If youre reading this and your system still works, DO NOT update the app. The last 2 updates have cut off all connectivity with share, prohibiting glucose levels to be monitored on my phone, watch, or being sent to any of my Share contacts. It says I have an invalid login, and when attempts are made to reset/fix my information, the app does nothing, and since there is no web interface in which to update this information, the app is the only option. Calling Dexcom for support I was only told it was Apples fault for updating their OS, but it worked fine for 3-4 days on the new OS, it wasnt until the app was updated that everything stopped working.
