BP Companion HD

I have used this for a number of years an it WAS great. However the update that was released about a month ago has rendered this relatively unusable. The response time for the input scroll wheels is now so long that it is difficult to make accurate inputs. Worse, the move of the very small ‘+’ button that you need to hit to make a new entry onto the part of the screen with old entries means that any small misalignment with the tap results in you editing an old entry rather than putting in a new one, and since there is no real difference in the screens for the 2 functions, or warnings, it is too easy to lose an old entry while not properly recording a new. Given this is health data, these mistakes could be considered borderline dangerous, so I would suggest the developer reverts to the functionality that the app had in previous version?

Intrusive full page advertising every time it starts up. I am now going to switch to the NHS app. It seems that the developers have slain the goose that lays the golden egg.

Best App that I have had !! Life saver

Have only been using for a few days but does what I need showing the readings in various forms and averaging them. I had a query on the operation of it and emailed them and got a quick response which was great and unusual for a free app. .

I say this because having used this app for 4 months and by sending weekly and monthly reports to our doctor all multiple readings taken each day. Not only did I begin to understand the relevance of BP readings but more importantly how the presentation of taken readings could be better presented in terms of both graphs and information on the pdf reports. I asked for Maxwells help in making these changes and within no small measure they responded and I have just received the updated app and it is doing exactly what our doctors wished to see. Especially the trend lines and ability to have this information across all their standard period defaults including custom period. This app is the perfect support for anyone taking daily readings and sharing with your doctor. Thank you Maxwell Software Better than Brilliant App 😀

My cardiologist said it gives him a better measure of my normal BP than having it measured at the clinic, due to the “white coat syndrome “

An Easy to use Stress Free App. Simple to record the all the information you need for any future appointments. Quick and simple to view the charts, looks professional too.

Have had high bp for sometime now but my GP wanted me to try to lose weight instead of putting me on life long medication. After also being recently diagnosed with high cholesterol I realised it was time to take action. Armed with a decent bp pressure monitor and this app I embarked on a low saturated fat diet and took regular bp and weight readings. Entering them into this app has encouraged me to keep up the diet as I have lost weight I have seen my bp return to normal levels in just three months. This app is easy to use and easy to understand. My Dr even takes a look at this app to check how my bp has being since the last time he saw me and recommends I check my bp twice a day and record it.

Forgive my title of this app. I've left it for well over a year before rating this app as I didn't want to do one so quickly after getting it. Works brilliantly. You can set your own goals and notes for each reading you do and you can also export all your readings into an email for reference. Very pleased with this app completely.

Good little app.
