## Review summary

The Dexcom Follow app is valued when it works: landscape view with glucose and time improves usability, easy to use, and appears life-saving. However, many reviews repeatedly report critical reliability problems: missing/delayed alerts, data gaps or 'No Data', frequent freezes and need to refresh, and loss of quick-glance features. These issues pose safety risks, especially for caregivers monitoring children at night. Overall, usefulness depends on stability and timely notifications.

### Pros

- Landscape view now shows blood sugar and time and is easier to navigate
- Easy to use
- Has saved lives when it functions correctly
- When it works well, the app provides effective glucose monitoring and follow features

### Cons

- Alerts/notifications are unreliable or missing, which can be dangerous
- Frequent data gaps or No Data that prevent monitoring
- Frequent freezes/crashes and need to refresh or restart the app
- Loss of quick-glance features and widgets (no longer easy to view at a glance)
- Connectivity/server issues causing downtime or delayed updates
