I have just downloaded the app for Libre2 on my phone and am using it and my reader to check readings. When you start a sensor and use the reader and then the app, can there be a time difference? Does the app pick up the time from the sensor, presumably set by the reader, or the phone?

I'm not sure. I always kept my Reader fairly close to the correct time (I think it got to ~10 minutes out at one point, but not really enough to notice). My hunch (and it is only a hunch) is that the sensor has a clock that starts when it's activated and doesn't get told the actual time (and so doesn't report it).
But that would make a mess if the two things were different enough and both uploaded to LibreView, I guess. Best would be not to test it, I think, by keeping the reader's clock more or less correct. If it's too late for that then have a look and see what's happening. (By looking at the Logbook after scanning, for example, where it shows the time.)
