Ratings and Reviews
Dexcom G7 app needs improvement
The Dexcom G7 app currently lacks quite a few options and features. Here’s a list of items the Developers should work on: Add 200 mg/dL graph height option. Additionally, this could be added to the “…” above the chart for quicker customization. Add 8 hour option to Glucose trend graph. Plot blood glucose fingerpick readings on Glucose trend chart to be able to easily compare with CGM readings. Add “DarkMode” option for easier readability, especially at night. Add ability to describe or select from drop down menu the Activity; walk, run, swim, bicycle, treadmill, etc. Add ability to select from drop down menu the Meal type; breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack. Add ability to input Medication that isn’t in the search. Insulin Dose Log under Glucose tab should show up to 10 glucose readings instead of 3-4. Historical information under History tab should show more data without needing to download Clarity app. Additionally, filter options for blood glucose, insulin, medication, meal, activity, and note would be nice. Add a better way to report app bugs, provide feedback, etc. under Profile > Support > Feedback. Move Sensor information under Connections tab to Glucose tab and all the rest under Connections tab to Profile tab. Connections tab should be replaced with something more functional like medication, insulin and activity reminders.

Cannot dismiss alerts from watch
This app is almost good. It’s missing two features that are standard in every other app in the AppStore. And with those features it would be 4 stars.
1. Most important. Be able to dismiss alerts from the Apple Watch. I get alert, dismiss the alert of the watch, but a minute later it alerts again. Making me have to open the app on my phone to dismiss the alert. If I’m in a meeting or somewhere important I can’t be pulling out my phone or having Loud critical alerts going off every couple of minutes for something I’ve taken care of. An even better feature would be to let me get a 1 minute quiet notification on my watch that I could clear before even setting off a critical alert. But as the way it is now, I’m going to have to turn off critical alert notifications, which is not a good thing.
2. This doesn’t seem like a big one, but it is. Dark mode. It exists on Dexcom Follow app, so I know there Devs know how to do it, and they should be using shared libraries, so why am I blinding my self at night to check my Blood Sugars? A device and technology so advanced it can tell me my blood sugar every 5 minutes just by looking at a screen, when just 20 years ago we were peeing on sticks, and not long before that peeing on the ground and watching for ants. But yet my retinas burn when I check my blood sugar. And my I get just as embarrassed as everyone stares at me thinking I didn’t mute my phone for the meeting. Please fix this.

Useless app from overseas
I used the G6 app during my travels, the G7 app cannot be setup from overseas, even if your residence is in the US. To start you are forced to allow access to location services ( setup screen locked until location access is granted), which in itself is an invasion of privacy. Then, contrary to the disclaimer, the location is used for comparison with the account address and the setup Is locked with an error indicating location different from residence as if one has to be locked in one’s residence. An invitation to contact technical support yields no result beside waste of communication fees from abroad ( delete and reload, create new account… ) and confusing explanations about geolocation allegedly not working in every country. It might be time for US developers to realize that the world extends beyond San Diego and Boston ! One thing is sure, on my return to the US, once my nine sensors are used up I will switch to another CGM ( FreeStyle Libre) or no CGM For US companies and software developers to be so dismissive of the rest of the world in 2024 is beyond belief!
Contact suggested by Apple does not yield any result , the only suggestion by Dexcom support is to buy the receiver and basically not use / initialise the app while overseas. This is beyond belief in an allegedly global world!!!
The western world view is anyone outside the west is a thief or a fraud and everything must be done to restrict or suppress his access! Pathetic!
