I use a Freestyle Libre and think the software is junk too. Lot of proprietary lock-in and trying to push you towards certain vendors in this space. Should all be about people and not profit. These aren't difficult problems to solve. Nightscout is great, as is xDrip+, but pairing your device with xDrip+ gets you locked out of the vendor app and invalidates your warranty, which is a big deal as sensor quality is hit-and-miss and may come out of your arm before the 15 day window is up, so you won't get a free replacement if that happens. I would love to figure out DIYing CGMs, but the enzyme-dipped probe is the challenging part. Also, I don't think smartphones should play an active role in this space. As a means of reading data and perhaps modifying routines on a dedicated device? Maybe. But these things should all function independently of phones. My phone does an update or runs out of juice? I stop getting CGM data until I unlock with PIN and use the NFC to reconnect. Happened to me last night in my sleep, so missed going hypo in my sleep. Complete junk in this space, IMO. It's very annoying.
