I think the machine itself works well. I hope. But the app is so frustrating. Every time I go to use it, I have to turn my entire phone off and back on again and then start the app all over again for it to read the meter. Sometimes it stops in mid read. I want to keep the machine and not send it back because I like doing the breath rather than poking my fingers but unless they improve the app, it really makes it useless or very difficult and it shouldn’t be this hard. Seems like nobody is really monitoring the ratings on the app or what anybody is saying.
Working great for me
I have my profile set up and save my data consistently.
As for the Ketonix breathalyzer, I was doing that all wrong. Directions!
Read the directions and ensure you are completely emptying your lungs. No need to inhale first!
The app is easy to use and being able to analyze day, week, month, year and customize your results are fantastic.
Does what it's supposed to do
Not sure what all the negativity is about. If all the app did was measure breath acetone levels and chart it, that alone is worth 5 stars imo (but it does other things as well). Device works perfectly for me. Just make sure you charge it completely before using, turn your phone's Bluetooth on and you're good to go.
Not usable
Wow. I wish I had read these reviews before purchasing. Spent $100 for an app that is basically unusable.
I was able to get this to display some data from a reading, but I have 0 confidence that it means anything reliable.
There are no obvious units, measurements are highly erratic and change by a factor of 2 in back to back measurements. It says ppm in one place, but that measurement doesn’t match with the chart which is unit-less.
There is no way to view saved data after 7-days. The app is full of greyed out buttons. Such as the “custom” button on the analysis tab that looks like it might show past data but instead does nothing. There is no place to perhaps upgrade the setting or something.
This app is a prototype at best for proof of concept only. Not for use by a paying customer.
I’m a scientist and am accustomed to using technical equipment, so I am willing to deal with somewhat inscrutable equipment, but this doesn’t even allow me to get to the point of useful data in the first place.
Pay for hardware get lame app
Wish I would have known I needed this app to make the hardware work. More accurately, I wish the app functioned better than a grade school coding project. Takes 5-10 minutes to connect, gives lousy interpretation of ketosis readings. Reverted back to peeing on a stick. The whole point in investing $100+ was to get precise readings to be able to know the immediate effects of specific changes in diet and exercise, that’s what the site sold me on when I bought the hardware. Disappointed, save your money, or maybe the company will eventually take some of the revenue and invest it in a high school kid to recode the app.
Doesn’t connect to either desktop or iPhone Bluetooth
Worthless. I have a brand new desktop and a brand new iPhone so I know nothings wrong with either of those. Both devices say the Bluetooth is turned on. But this key tonics device will not connect via Bluetooth to either one of them. So I can’t use the app. If I want to measure my key tones, I have to sit at my desk top computer and plug it in with the USB. Saving measurements to my profile takes at least a good five minutes, and I can’t find anywhere that tells me what the readings mean. The instructional videos are a joke.
I don’t recommend the latest version.
Please let me uninstall and get the previous version back. If you measure in low Ketosis you won’t get the result in this version. It’s almost as if the scale changed.
Expensive and not worth it
Think twice before you you purchase this product !! When it works it’s great . The app is horrible they did a update now my meter will not connect . Better off to you a blood meter and pay for strips than buy a 300 dollar meter that doesn’t work !!!
Help Please! Bad Experience! Don’t recommend!!!
The hardware looks nice but doesn’t function! The app is awful and won’t let me create a new profile to use. Instead you have to use the default. The device connects and says its ready. But doesn’t measure anything. This is an expensive device, the app should be stellar and the hardware should work. I will be returning this if I don’t get a response with help and if the app is not improved immediately!
Poorly done
Hardware is great, but the app will not hook up to the hardware, nor are there any instructions for the app. Little for the hardware.
It’s a guessing game.
I agree, have instructions, but although I have read & reread the instructions; the app refuses to hook up to the app.
Have decided just to go with the basic information of color to know if I am in Ketosis or not.
It’s a shame the app is so poorly done.
