I have used the free version of this app for a month and a half now. My high bp is caused by chemo-damaged kidneys. This app has helped me make more progress in a month than the last three years put together. I enjoy the averages, charts and graphs, and have made a game out of improving my numbers. The ability to discern and track small improvements has provided the incentive and reinforcement I needed to accomplish big changes. I am very pleased with this app.

Perfect for tracking blood pressure. App excels at displaying information in charts of various kinds, including scatter. Options to back up and restore data, plus export to pdf or CSV are very appreciated. Well worth paying for and happy that I did. Thanks! *edit - New update 1.2.1 makes it load much faster, fixing the only thing that slightly bothered me before. Thank you!

Worth the pro upgrade. Easy to use. Creates very nice pdf report to send to doctor. Would be nice if the alerts talked to the app to see if you've already entered a reading before sending a notification. Also "email supprt" under help and feedback opens up my email app, but the "to:" entry is empty and the address is nowhere to be found elsewhere in the app. Otherwise, solid. Nice work.

I downloaded several apps to keep track of my blood pressure. This was exactly what I was looking for very simple to use, no fancy unnecessary BS. Not too many complicated features, I love the graphs. The ads were not too intrusive like some. But to help the developer and just get rid of the ads all together $1.99 certainly is no problem.

Missing hour in reports? I have been tracking nighttime bp when I wake up suddenly. This usually occurs between 2 and 3 am. Which seems to be the hour that isn't included in either night time or am report selections. Is there any way to change this to add that time frame to one of the reports? Edit: thank you for the explanation Jason. 🙂 Was hoping to have a more narrow window but I'll just export. Other than that issue, I think this is an excellent app.

Coming back to review after the feature update. Wow! I love the ability to change the classification of HTN and the cosmetic update as well. Still very easy to use and track overtime. I like the ability to view different graphs. I'd like to see more features and more monitoring and maybe stay seeing integration into smartwatch/fitness devices. Still a great app and worth supporting by going premium!

The app has almost everything I would want and is super easy to use. I'm 65 and have been hypertensive since grade school. In the last few years I've had problems with my BP suddenly dropping to levels as low as 85/40 while still hypertensive. I need to take my BP up to a dozen times a day. This app is extremely helpful for both me and my doctors. One feature I'd love to see is graphs for all data including PP, MAP, weight, and blood oxygen. It's so cool that they keep making improvements.

A really solid app. I've got an Omron BP cuff; I fire it up, wait for the results, then enter them. Literally 7 (number) taps to get systolic, diastolic, and BP; no additional tapping or swiping to change fields, it moves to the next field automatically. "Cuff position" (eg, right arm) and "Body position" (eg, seated) default to what you last entered, so that saves a bit of time as well. Charts and graphs, with various ways to slice and dice the data. Handy at a recent doc visit, too.

Update: Uninstalled. Weight is not included in chart. How weight affects blood pressure is important to note. Otherwise, this app has the features that I think are very useful: easy to read and understand stats, a reminder, and the ability to update or change your entry in case of a mistake. Good app if you don't care about body weight.

I really love the ease of use of the app, the UI is simple and intuitive, and all of the data and charts offer visual feedback! But the ability to export this info into nicely organized CSV and PDF docs is the BEST! Perfect for my doctor visits. The ads do autoplay but they are not so frequent to be a nuisance. Typically, I use the app once a day.

Very nice app for monitoring blood pressure. Data entry is a breeze and overall presentation is laid out nicely. Ads are full page, but not overly intrusive. Paid for the no-ad version, though. I would like to make a few suggestions for the developer's consideration: 1. On the Trend chart, use a different scale for pulse (farther below the diastolic reading). It may not be an issue for some, but in my case there's a lot of overlap with pulse & diastolic figures, which makes it hard to differentiate. 2. Also on the Trend chart, the last entry is partially cut off on the far right of the chart. 3. On the Distribution II chart, make the dots slightly smaller. This would help with overlap of many dots. These are minor issues in an overall excellent app. Highly recommended if you need to track your blood pressure. There are a lot of these types of apps out there, and I tried more than a few...this is the one I'm keeping.

I've tried countless BP apps. Even created a Google Form for data entry. All previous methods left me "wanting" for a simple but comprehensive app to track important data without extra fluff to clutter the interface. Needed a system that would remove obstacles from my BP monitoring routine, instead of adding them (which leads to frustration and increased BP). After a long monitoring lapse, I tried this app on a whim. Have used for less than an hour - YES! Exactly what I needed. WELL DONE!

I really like this app! It gives me exactly what I wanted. Simply a convenient way to track blood pressure from day to day. Nothing more with ads and tracking, nothing less. Much thanks to the developer(s)! I happily paid not to get rid of the ads (non-intrusive, skippable, quite reasonable intervals) but to support the developer.

Really easy to use. Clear and understandable chart. Take your bp, quickly enter your stats without having to move the cursor from box to box, and you are done. Best bp app I have found so far. You can also track weight and blood glucose. I upgraded to premium and see where a very detailed report can be emailed to my Dr or myself. It can be used with multiple users. Very impressive and useful app. Why look any further ?

Great replacement for the garbage provided by Omron. Easy to use. Nicely formatted reports. Automatic backup. The only features I would like to see are: ability to average daily readings, having a ringtone with the reminders, and the ability to enter (and maintain) a set of corrections when you've calibrated your BP unit at the doctor's office. With those I would give an easy 5 star rating.

This app has been an awesome tool for tracking my blood pressure. I've been able to monitor my progress every step of the way. This has shown small improvement everyday, and it incouraged me to meet my goals and live a healthier lifestyle. I would definitely recommend this app to loved ones. It is definitely easier to keep striving to meet your health goals when you see hard evidence of improvement. I've been eating healthier and tracking my exercise regiment. This has been a life changer!!!!!

Got to say this is the slickest app I came across to record my BP readings and I loaded and tried many apps to decide which one I was going to permanently use. I can't even think of a suggestion to offer at this point. The settings were self explainable, the Help was so easy to go through, and the adds were gone within minutes of purchasing. The Import/Export/PDF options were something I needed and it's there. Been using for a while now and no issues at all. Great App !!!
