Terribly Inaccurate!
I first downloaded this app about a year ago and quickly realized the readings were very inaccurate. The tests always showed me in the healthy range, though I struggle constantly with iron deficient anemia. Today, my doctor ordered a blood transfusion after getting my lab results back. I decided to try the app to see if it detected the low levels. Nope, it gave me scores of 14+ both times I tested.
I can’t understand how they advertise this app as being effective if it’s so far off. Obviously it’s not meant to be diagnostic, but I can’t see it being helpful at all. I have read that these types of tests can be less accurate for people of color, but they should include a disclaimer if that’s the case. Bent fingers also have more pigment in the nail bed than when they are straight, so I wonder if that leads to higher readings.
Either way, I have no use for this trash app, so I deleted it today. Just want to warn people not to rely on it, especially if you are anemic.Show lessDeveloper Response

About 6 weeks ago, I started taking B12 and folate due to respective deficiencies and thought, why not throw in a combined zinc (50mg) and copper (2mg) supplement?
Within the last week I tried this app and was surprised to see my iron scores consistently well below the cutoff. I questioned my recent supplement usage, which led me to an abundance of medical studies documenting copper deficiency due to excess zinc.
I most likely have malabsorption problems, but the combined zinc/copper supplement certainly didn’t help things.Show lessDeveloper Response

I suffer from anemia for the past 25 yrs. I get iron transfusions regularly. I found this program and excited to have a way to watch my levels to know when it starts dropping. I went to the hospital had hemoglobin checked 9.1. Which everyone knows is low I knew I needed iron but could not get scheduled for 2 weeks. I work 12 plus hrs a day 6 days a week very stressful go go go job. I was doing liquid iron at home trying to stabilize my levels. The app continued to show 11.2 which was the same day I got out of ER so I knew it was off but I did scan every day and it changed to 13.6 which is amazing for me until I blacked out at work driving! Back to ER hemoglobin 8.1. So I cancel the subscription THEN they charge my card sorry but this app doesn’t work and I want a refund I removed the app before you charged my card so no I won’t give you $10 for a month when relying on your app could have killed meShow lessDeveloper Response
