Blood Pressure: Tracker

I had tried multiple (6-7) BP tracking apps before I settled on this one. The shortcomings of the others were clunky interfaces, poor workflow design or fewer features. The design of this app makes it easy & quick to enter my readings. The ability to create tags makes this super-easy to capture notes and other information, like exercise, sleep, diet and symptoms. But, that's only part of what makes this a great app. The ability to see my readings on a graph, and zoom in and out and filter details makes this invaluable for me. I can see trends and my progress (or lack thereof). It's come in handy during my doctor visits, too. He was very impressed when I showed him the app and even more so when I emailed him a CSV of my numbers while we sat in his office. I had also taken that same CSV, opened it in Numbers on my iPad and created more charts and PDFs. The animations and sounds also make the user experience fun. Everything is fast and smooth. Over the past 6 years, I've used hundreds of apps for hundreds of tasks, and this is one of the best examples of what a phone app can be. It not only inserts delight into a daily interaction, it helps me accomplish an important task in my life, tracking my health. This app is a great example of the power of having a small computer that is carried everywhere.

I just started tracking my BP. In a follow-up appointment with my GP, he asked whether I had brought my BP monitor with me. When I said no, he sighed, thinking that the appointment was a waste of time since I didn't have my readings with me. Then, I showed him my ipod touch and he was thrilled. Stats, graphs, notes! Yes, this app does require that you enter your BP and pulse measurements with each reading, but it's worth it. The design is beautiful and the graphs really helped me and my doctor to see trends in a way that my home BP monitor can not display. Well worth the $2.

After using several different apps to log my blood pressure, I became disenchanted when some features either stopped working and "support" was nonexistent. So I finally tried this one. Clean, attractive, with all the bells and whistles I needed and easy to use. Because I am visually impaired, I did have some questions and emailed support. (On short issues, you can even send a message via Twitter.) Almost immediately I got a response. I did have two follow up questions and received those answers in a timely fashion. I highly recommend Codulis "Blood Pressure" to anybody who needs to track their numbers and wants it done quickly and efficiently. Thank you for the app and for the quality of your support provided.

Using this app for myself to help regulate my wobbly hypertension has been extremely helpful and important to me ,as my physician and I try to determine the best medical course to take with the least side effects to get myself back in control again with a consistent acceptable BP reading. The support tech is prompt , caring and good about answering any questions I have when using this app.

I love using this app. Its beautiful, elegant interface makes the process of recording my BP familiar and intuitive, but it also gives me powerful tools to analyze my BP. With the addition of Retina graphics, the developer demonstrated his commitment to maintaining the app. This is a well-designed app and a great way to track your BP.
