LibreLink on Android, and uploading data to Libreview.

What do you intend to use LibreView for?
If you are scanning your data with your phone, my understanding is that it is already uploaded to the cloud which is where LibreView gets the data.
My understanding is you only need to upload data direct into LibreView if you have captured it somewhere else such as a finger prick meter.

As you can probably tell, I do not use LibreView, I review the graphs on my phone.

However, LibreView does not correctly display the graphs on a tablet. So you have to view them on a pc.

Not sure if this helps but I needed no cables using an iphone not a reader. I agree the libreview is spectacularly confusing at first.
Switch views as per 1 above then download the data your librelink has recorded as a 2

From my understanding, if you are using your phone, the data will be automatically uploaded to libreview. If you are using the reader, then you’ll need to plug it with the usb cable and upload.
When you click download, it downloads a document of your averages, carb totals, etc.

Nope you need to transfer it from librelink (in the cloud somewhere) to libre view (on the website) with the download button in libreview. No wires required.

Good luck - I’m also on my first libre and have found it confusing.
However my phone isn’t compatible so I had to buy and use the reader - which to get the data on libre view on my pc I had to download the drivers and use the cable supplied with the reader to link it and download the info from my reader to the Pc.
Have to say after a few challenges I’m so enjoying using it - this is my fifth day and went swimming with it today I just wish it was more affordable! I’ve learnt so much about when my highest readings happen , for me, and also my low readings too.

Your app has to be signed in to Libreview. I assume you did that when you installed the app. Worth checking though. Just logout and back in again. Once successful it'll all sync up seamlessly.

Worth noting that if you’re uploading data from a reader as well as a phone, that the phone data overwrites the reader data - I lost all the meticulously logged insulin doses from my reader when I starting using a phone as well. So log doses on the phone rather than the reader if you use both.

Libreview shows my phone (android s7 edge) readings in LibreView without having to press a download button.
In LibreView I can switch between phone and reader readings.
Probably over the top but I log insulins/carbs/meds/exercise with the reader and insulins/carbs/notes on phone.
Always keep reader on me as it tells me how much insulin I've still got working and for how long at any point in time which is especially handy if having more insulin/carbs which the phone doesn't do and it's smaller and less intrusive e.g. for keeping under pillow at night.With the phone you can adjust/amend data later which you can't with the reader.
On Libreview I can switch between phone and reader data but I'm not using the latest drivers due to issues with the reader not uploading with later drivers since it turned off during a USB upload a while ago.

I realise this post is from 2019. I was looking to see if anyone would know how often one needs to upload data to Libreview website from Libreview Reader ?- I used the Libreview app (and probably will do again now the alarm problems have been fixed for those of use using operating system 13 ).I was sent a reader from Abbott to use meantime .
Thanks
