Has anyone tried GlucoNightWatch? Or, more to the point, has anyone tried it and got it to work, in the sense of actually giving hypo alerts?

It's a free phone app which reads libre every ten minutes and then alerts above and below set limits. Apart from the obvious disadvantage that you've got to wear a phone on your arm (!), it seemed like a rough and ready way to dex the libre for situations where I'd had a, ahem, few beers on a Friday and wanted a bit of night hypo alert reassurance, so I thought I'd give it a go (while waiting to see if the shambles at Ambrosia Systems will ever deliver my pre-ordered blucon).
But getting it to work in practice is a whole different story. My current sensor is quite high on my arm, which makes placing the armband carrying the phone kinda difficult, so will maybe try it again with a lower placed sensor. Trial runs sure gave me alerts, but only to tell me the phone has stopped reading the sensor! Placing the NFC aerial in the phone right over the sensor seems to be critical, but although I'm pretty sure I know where my phone's aerial is, and it does indeed read for a while, I'll then just get an alert saying it can't read. The manual says don't run it on a phone with any other NFC reader app installed, but it does still read even though I've got librelink. Might uninstall that to see if it makes a difference.I don't see why having it installed makes a difference if it's not open.
Despite those flaws, it reads raw data from the sensor, doesn't run it through any adjustment algos, and, curiously, while a libre reader scan, for me, normally runs a fair bit below my OneTouch Verio meter (which is often reviewed as reading higher than other meters), the GlucoNightWatch reading is normally very close to the meter.
