I've been using DiaBox for years and used to be very happy with it. Not so much anymore since the latest update so I'm looking for something else.
The main features I want in an app are:

- Possibility to calibrate.
- Possibility to set high/low alarms on different levels: High and very high, and low and very low.

Which apps have you used and what are the things you like/dislike about them?

Tagging @Jaylee , you're more tech savvy than I am and I know you've tried various apps over the years.

Edited to add that I use an android phone.

Hi,

I don’t tend to need to calibrate.

You could try xDrip. Similar features to Diabox.
But I use “GlucoDataHandler” to hijack from Librelink to send to xDrip.

There is also Juggluco. Bit more of a faff when starting a new sensor in the sense you need to scan again in the app after Librelink..

All apps mentioned can also send to a smartwatch with the complimentary wear app installed?
The Juggluco wear app for watch will also take a feed directly from the Libre should you wish to ditch the phone & monitor on an appropriate watch for swimming…

Cross that bridge with a watch should you decide to take the plunge?

Take a plunge from a bridge with a watch showing my BG sounds pretty much perfect!

I'll have a try with Juggluco if I can find it and see if I can get along with it.
xDrip with GlucoDataHandler sounds rather complicated. I'll need to find and download two different apps and make them work together?
