[QUOTE="Knikki, post: 1891345"] [USER=489642]@Ian McG[/USER] Hello and welcome to the forum. As far as I know any phone that has NFC tech built in you can use with the Libre Mobile App to read the sensor (BUT Im no expert of the various phones you can get). The issues is with dev teams who create xDrip+, Spike and Glimp are all independent developers and basically backward engineer their software to pick up on the Libre Sensor. Now, they always issue the warning that the software used as a scanner might nerf your sensor, simply they are covering their ass because they are not supported by Abbott. I have used xDrip+ as a scanner when my sensor was close to being changed and did not have a problem with it, but I have never used Glimp. It is one reason why a few of us get the MiaoMiao, which is a transmitter, and use that in conjunction with what ever flavour of software we use, then no need to use it as a scanner :) [/QUOTE]
