Review summary

Glimp is a widely appreciated app for monitoring glucose levels via Freestyle Libre sensors, praised for offline capability, calibration options, and cloud synchronization. However, multiple users report its inability to support 14-day US sensors, occasional Bluetooth connectivity issues, less user-friendly graph visuals, slower scanning in recent versions, and accuracy discrepancies compared to official devices. Despite these drawbacks, users value Glimp's contribution to diabetes management, especially where the official app is unavailable or insufficient.

2023-08-31	Th*****	Was very difficult at first to get started. After in depth trying to launch the app in conjunction with my sony experia android phone finally got running in conjunction with Freestyle Libre 2 monitoring. Now works an absolute trick. I can now use the app to scan with my phone by touching the sensor on my arm with my phone, data is collected and stored in a filling system on how my daily Glucose levels are doing. I get reminders through my phone to scan at regular bases . Glimp gets my ful vote

2022-11-30	Ha*****	A very good app. Really useful. Thanks for such nice work. Just a request that if you make the time in chart more spread out, those glucose lines won't look so steep then. I mean the space you have for 5 hours, make that for 2 hours or maybe even 1 hour. That will really update the end result. Or maybe add an option in settings to change that. Once again thanks alot for this nice app. It's a life saving work. Kudos

2022-06-21	Ja*****	Was a wonderful app in so many ways, loved that I could sync finger stick values to improve and maintain accuracy, zoom to the minute to see where I was, see impact of insulin, log supplies. So sad that Abbott blocked access for the FSL 2 sensors. Hope this encryption gets broken or librelink allows a work around for me to export my data automatically into Glimp.

2022-02-26	Mi*****	Does what I need it to do and doesn't seem to depend on a good internet connection or other servers, all which can fail. If having problems, keep in mind... we are dealing with two products (in my case)... Glimp and miaomioa (3...). Try reseating your miaomiao.... =) Also... when people say "Go to options, The menu item has been renamed to "settings".

2021-07-14	Ar*****	For me from India, it's an amazing app. Freestyle libre app is not available in India. And it's hard to read past reader data without zoom function to understand when peak is happening. I have synced my Dropbox account to my fathers phone so that all data is available in cloud. Sure, it's not a beautiful looking app. But it gets its job done perfectly.

2021-06-17	Mi*****	UPDATE: If using Nightscout and can't get Glimp to connect, simply remove the trailing slash at the end of the URL. ----------- For the life of me, I can't get Glimp to send any data whatsoever to Nightscout. I really like the app, but it is useless to me if I it can't sync data to Nightscout. All other apps I've tried easily sent data to Nightscout within seconds. I would gladly go back if this one big issue was fixed. I'm on a fully updated OnePlus 8 Pro, in case that has anything to do with my issue.

2021-05-10	Sa*****	Have been using this for the past three years, has worked like a charm until a few weeks ago. Now the moment you touch my daughter's Samsung phone, Glimp loses connection, and you then have to turn Bluetooth off and back on, choose MiaoMiao and ask to connect, have Glimp open while you do this and then wait for the missed readings plus the current one to appear. A new error message stating that you need an app to use the device pops up. Now useless for alarms as won't stay connected.

2020-07-17	Gi*****	UPDATE: avoid updating to V4.18.18. Cannot calibrate results anymore. I cannot say enough good things about this app, without this app the sensors where useless. When I first started using the sensors, the reading where off by a large marging, sometimes even up to 80 points. I had no way of telling the official app that the readings were off. With this app I am able to calibrate it using a couple of readings from my Bayer contour meter.

2020-02-20	A *****	Excellent performance on smartphone and watch in tandem with MiaoMiao! Love the "dark" design. Several options to control notifications: worked well with a fitness tracker (before I got the watch). Data export to Dropbox is another excellent feature. Downside: loses connection sometimes, and results are a little above what the official app tells, unless you calibrate often.

2019-10-30	A *****	I absolutely love Glimp but am really sad that it won't work with the 14 day sensors sold in the US. Glimp is the only thing that made me be able to use Libre, as without Glimp, Libre is too inaccurate for me to use, and the graph on the reader is pretty useless. The graph on Glimp is fantastic and the amount of info it provides can't be beat. The fact that the graph is interactive and can give you exact readings for any time in the past is invaluable, and the ability to zoom it to make it easier to get the info in wonderful. Being able to calibrate it when needed makes it always accurate, which is the most important thing in any kind of meter, and the statistics it gives are wonderful too, in fact, everything about it is wonderful. I love everything about Glimp and using it makes me love using Libre. Once I am out of the 10 day sensors I won't be able to use it, therefore I won't be able to use Libre since it is too inaccurate without using Glimp and I find that very upsetting. I am hoping that the developers of Glimp will soon find a way to make Glimp work with the 14 day sensors sold in the US so I, and many others who love it, can continue to use Libre and this wonderful app. The only problem I have with this app, aside from it not working for the 14 day sensors sold in the US, is the latest version takes much longer for it to give a vibration when scanning the sensor and even longer to get that second vibration when scanning the sensor than it ever did before. I have been using Glimp for almost 2 years and no other version has done this, but as long as it keeps scanning and working, I can live with it, even though I liked the way scanning worked in previous versions better. I wish I could figure out how to go back to the previous version without uninstalling the new one which would delete all my old readings. To the developers of Glimp, thank you so very much for having provided such a wonderful and helpful app to make the lives of diabetics so much easier. Please keep working on getting it working for the 14 day sensors sold in the US. I, and many others, will be very happy and grateful if you can make it work for the 14 day sensors sold in the US. Thank you again for your wonderful app and all of your hard work in providing this app for us.
