Blood Pressure Companion

The free version is great. Allows you to create and print a spreadsheet of readings with 5 or 6 columns of info such as date, pulse, MAP, notes, weight, systolic and diastolic readings. You can write notes for each reading such as: took meds, did not take meds, or a highly stressful day. Can setup to automatically sync info to Health app. The MAP reading is especially helpful in giving an assessment of your arteries blood flow to major organs such as kidneys and brain. I have read that Doctors usually consider anything between 70 and 100 mmHg to be normal. All in all this a free app, which you can upgrade, that gives you basic useful information.

App helps me maintain a diary of my BP & MAP (mean arterial pressure) w/ability to make notes on the present variables at the moment from exertion to medications to symptoms like chest pain. It automatically moves a copy of the results to a health app. Also I can look at weekly, monthly & annual trends. Highlighted results when my dbp (diastolic) or sbp (systolic) aren't in target range allows me to see quickly those variations which could signal a need for further attention or evaluation. So easy to add the data. Scroll to numbers rather than type in, weight can be adjusted anytime & notes can be added each reading. (Used to be an app whereby I could hold my iPhone to my chest for BP. Found it reliably close yo a BP machine. I deleted it only bc it wasn’t updated to current iPhone IOS. Miss that portable BP “cuff”.) Glad to use this app. Recommend for those wishing to maintain feedback for themselves OR their doctor bc info can be exported to another source for review. I don’t need that right now but I will have the baseline data when the time comes. Worthwhile!

I needed something to simply and easily track my BP and weight as directed by my doctor. I bought another app for$5 that had all the bells and whistles, along with a complicated setup and that just wasn’t it. I take my BP three times a day and weight myself in the morning, hit the plus button, adjust the dial to my numbers and hit save. The big bonus is it will email me and my doctor a PDF with easy to understand numbers and a few graphs. This is the free version and not once have I got a pop-up asking I get the full version- if all you need is to track your BP and weight it doesn’t get better than this. With a two minute learning curve! Easy - Simple! And easy five stars-

I was recording my bp, hr, and weight in a little book. This is so much easier and convenient. My only drawback is that sometimes I want to enter more than one bp during the day and when I do that a weight is also included. It defaults to the last recorded weight but I would like to just skip the weight with no entry so it doesn’t skew the avg. Also, it would be nice if another entry could be made for blood glucose testing for diabetics. Either a specific entry for that or a user defined entry that could be for that or any other reading that a user may find useful like INR or %spo2 (oxygen level). Overall though, it is a very useful app as it is.

I found this app, and after reading all of the reviews I downloaded it. After a few days, it looks like it has everything you need to accurately track BP, heart rate, and also weight. I already had an Omron BP arm cuff, but the ability to track this information and share it with my cardiologist is no doubt going to be very helpful. I haven’t used every aspect of the app yet, but it looks like the perfect tool. I’ll upgrade to the paid version after a month of trial, and update my review at that time.
