Dexcom G7 iPhone App vs Receiver

Does anyone prefer using the dedicated receiver vs using the phone app? With the phone app I can and do share the readings and any alerts with my wife as she worries about me :)

Don't think the receiver can do that. So if I want to share I guess I have to use the phone app. At least I have the receiver as a backup in case something happens to my iPhone.

I was considering going 100% receiver only, in order to conserve my phone battery. I gotta think that running the app all the time and the connection to Bluetooth has to drain the phone battery a fair bit

So does anyone have thoughts on this issue? Is the receiver just a wasted device or does it serve a useful purpose if you already have the phone app? Is anyone using nothing but the receiver?
