Blood Pressure Companion Pro

I use this app daily to monitor my BP which I was unaware had risen to dangerously high levels until detected during a routine doctor’s appointment 18 months ago and I was put on meds for it. I am now off the meds, have made improvements to my diet and lifestyle, and am keeping tabs on my levels with a home BP cuff. I used the free BP Monitor app initially for a couple of weeks, then ultimately purchased the advert-free version. The peace of mind of not being caught off guard again by ‘the silent killer’ is worth it. It’s also helpful to show my doctor my progress, and it syncs my BP/HR data with my iPhone’s Health app. I would recommend this app to anyone.

This app used to do what I needed it to do, but no longer. I enter my BP readings on my iPhone 7, Save and Backup to iCloud with the intention of restoring on my iPad (6th generation). All of my software is up-to-date and my settings are as Maxwell Software recommends. When I try to restore my data to the iPad, the most recent data is not in the Backup History, e.g., today is 20 October 2018 and the most recent available data is from 15 October 2018. It’s not possible for me to know when my data will eventually appear in the Backup History. Very frustrating forcing me to look for a new BP recording app. Maxwell Software has tried to be helpful but it is obvious that they are unable to solve this problem that has been going on for many months. At one time I was very pleased with this app but I can no longer recommend it or give it a positive review.

My wife and I take our BP, HR and bodyweight once a week and record it using this app. We’ve now done this for over two years and appreciate having the data at our fingertips when we visit our docs. My high blood pressure at the outset of our use of this app led me to change my eating significantly. It was supportive and encouraging to see my weekly heart stats and bodyweight lower significantly over time using this app. Would like to see an ability to display a summary of stats over a multi year period of use rather than the current one year limit.

Easy to use. Easy way to keep a running log of BP and keep notes to remind you of symptoms, change in BP meds, exercise tolerance, etc. I use it with the glucose log and they will automatically update the weight from one to the other. Has helped me when I go to my doctor appointments so that I’m not fumbling with more papers and I don’t need to remember anything because it’s all right there. The doctor seems to take note of the log and adjusts my medicines accordingly—before I started using this, I would state what my BP has been running, but no changes were made. Very good app.

This is a wonderful app! It is easy to use, backs up the data to the cloud (if you prefer), allows data to be exported easily, and syncs to the Apple watch (so I can share data with my physicians at office appointments without carrying the blood pressure machine). The one suggestion I have for the developers is to add a specific spot too record temperature. Then, this would be the perfect app for transplant patients who must monitor blood pressure, weight and temperature twice a day. For now, this can be recorded as a note, which is fine but will not provide a historical chart for temperature. Best app on my phone this far!
