So when I look back at my results, sometimes I wonder what year that was. I’ve been using this for a very long time and the year would be very helpful. It seems like that would be simple addition. ### 4/5 — Operation *2026-08-21, version 1.10.5* Would be better if editing is allowed. I forgot to key in the pulse and once have made mistake in the figure and could not make correction. ### 4/5 — Fantastic UI, but needs better history and syncing *2026-07-17, version 1.10.5* The BPDiary app has a beautifully clean, simple user interface. The data entry form is highly intuitive, the tabular data is incredibly readable, and the chart capability is a fantastic visual aid. It makes accessing past data effortless. After using the app for a while, I have a few constructive suggestions and bug reports that would make this a five-star tool for families: • Chart Bugs & Enhancements: Currently, multiple measurements taken on the same day do not register on the chart, even when viewing the single-day view. Additionally, because we take readings infrequently (sometimes missing a month), it would be incredibly helpful to have chart tabs for longer timeframes—like a quarter, half-year, full year, or all-time. Once on a chart tab, the ability to scroll left to intuitively look back through historical data would be a game-changer. • Simple Multi-User Tracking: We need to track blood pressure for multiple family members on a single device. Since one person handles all the data entry, a simple profile selection or "User Tag" on the input form would be perfect. • iCloud Syncing: Our family alternates between using an iPhone and an iPad to log data. Auto-syncing the database via an iCloud folder would ensure that opening the app on either device instantly reflects the most recent measurements. • Data Portability (Import/Export): Any app managing critical health history should allow users to own their data. Adding a CSV import/export feature would let us back up our raw data and seamlessly migrate historical readings from older apps. Thank you for a great utility. I look forward to seeing how it evolves! ### 3/5 — Limited *2026-06-29, version 1.10.5* Doesn’t allow you to delete more than one entry at a time. ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-06-19, version 1.10.5* I needed an app for tracking my blood pressure after a recent surgery. I wanted something on my phone to insure that I would have the readings when going to doctor appointments. This app is easy to use and provides a quick way to reference my blood pressure and pulse readings. There are so many apps that misrepresent what they do. This is not one of them. I am extremely happy with this app and highly recommend it! ### 4/5 — Ok but *2026-06-18, version 1.10.5* The app is great, but it’s frustrating that the year is not shown in historical BP readings. Because I can only see the day and month, I can’t tell which readings are from two years ago to show my doctor. ### 5/5 — Exactly monitoring tool *2026-06-16, version 1.10.5* Love the graphic design and the area to place your symptoms if you have any. ### 4/5 — Good but could be better with upgrades *2026-06-12, version 1.10.5* Good app! Would be a great app if you can customize reports such as picking a time range beyond 30 days. Another great additional would be to type in your measurements instead of the slider. ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2026-06-10, version 1.10.5* I love this app so much. Very clean, yet attractive design. Super easy to use. It has the basic features I need and I love the user interface. I just a Triple Bypass so I have to keep track of my BP for myself and to show my Cardiologist and this app is by far the best I could find the App Store. Please keep up the hard work and make more beautiful apps for us! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-06-07, version 1.10.5* I use to keep my blood pressure and pulse in an excel spreadsheet. I do miss not seeing averages of the readings. ### 5/5 — Great and privacy focused! *2026-06-02, version 1.10.5* I really love this app! It's simple to use and understand. I only wish it allowed me to separate the left and right arm results- I'm trying to track the difference after surgery. ### 5/5 — So User Friendly *2026-05-31, version 1.10.5* This has been a great app for me- no non sense extra baggage - I love it and it’s great when I can show my Dr the tracking record of my daily bp records. Thanks! Now hoping for a blood sugar app that’s just as easy to use.😉 ### 5/5 — Дневник АД *2026-05-30* Очень удобное приложение! Ничего лишнего! То, что надо 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Sehr empfehlenswert *2026-05-21* Eine sehr schöne und einfach gestaltete App, die alles bietet was man braucht, inclusive Datenexport. Kein Schnickschnack, keine Registrierung und keine Werbung und das auch noch völlig kostenlos. Vielen Dank an den Entwickler. ### 4/5 — Great app, one shortcoming *2026-05-20, version 1.10.5* I love the way data is entered into and displayed in the app. I have only one complaint: reports and graphs can only be generated for the past 30 days. Developers: please add the ability to generate longer reports with all data entered into the app so we can look at trends over longer periods of time. ### 5/5 — Easy Peasy *2026-05-13, version 1.10.5* Truly nice, simple log that is easy peasy to use and share my BP log with my PCP. ### 5/5 — Easy and straightforward *2026-05-09, version 1.10.5* I really like this app because it’s easy and straightforward. No ads or pop ups. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-05-06, version 1.10.5* Great way to keep an accurate record which the GP will accept . ### 4/5 — Great, simple app, but could use a couple of items. *2026-05-05, version 1.10.5* The app is absolutely great at what it does, however it would be useful for another section of data for placing blood pressure monitor type so it is easily documented on the sheet. I just place it in parenthesis next to my name, but would be nicer if it was its own line of info. For your birthday, it would be great to put your whole birth date as opposed to just the year. If you are born at the end of the year, and reading this at the beginning of the year, the age will be incorrect until your birth date. Sure, I can adjust it to the year after, but then that’s an extra step I have to think about to place my age as data. ### 5/5 — Perfect BP record diary *2026-05-04, version 1.10.5* Simply the best BP recording App I have ever seen. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Notifications *2026-03-04, version 1.10.5* Keep getting false notifications ### 1/5 — Not compatible with iOS 26.2 *2026-01-21, version 1.10.3* I’ve been using this app for many years but when I was force upgraded (by Apple) to iOS 26.2 suddenly the background of the “Notes” window is solid BLACK with no apparent way to change it. Because the font is also black you cannot see what your typing. I tried un-installing and re-installing the app … same result. It is with heavy heart that I have PERMANENTLY UN-INSTALLED the app from my iPad losing years of my blood pressure record. So sad. ### 1/5 — Недостаточно информации *2024-09-07* На главном разделе есть список давления, дата и давление, но нет информации о пульсе. У меня аритмия, хотелось бы отслеживать еще информацию о пульсе. ### 1/5 — Abandoned App *2024-08-02, version 1.9.2* No reply to emails, last update over 3 years ago. ### 1/5 — Misleading *2024-05-14, version 1.9.2* This app would only let me record two readings before requiring the purchase of a plan. Then it deleted my records before I can decide. ### 1/5 — Fine for the first few days *2023-02-24* This app was fine at first-simple and straightforward, just what I needed. But then yesterday it froze up. On my homepage it is blackened out an says waiting, as if it’s being updated, but when I go to the App Store, there’s no indication of an update and when I click on open nothing happens. It’s been like this since yesterday. In addition, when I click on app support, it takes me to a website for the developer and tell all about the app, but there’s no actual support. So now I’m looking for a new blood pressure journal and I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to see the data I recorder so far. ### 1/5 — Don’t Be Fooled *2022-05-14, version 1.9.2* It looks easy. But don’t be fooled. There is no privacy, and the app gathers a huge amount of data about you, and you can’t even review or see or challenge that data. It’s a diary, but you can’t even share it across devices, you can only make PDF reports. A formatted google sheet is better, more secure and private, and shares across devices. ### 1/5 — One user per app *2020-06-08, version 1.8.1* I would like to track both my mother and myself. There is no way to track multiple users. THIS IS USELESS. If not for that, this would have an excellent rating. ### 1/5 — Will not edit if you post wrong date. *2020-05-19, version 1.8.1* I could not edit a date after posting had to switch to another app, lost all entered data ### 2/5 — Just allow us to type *2025-12-14, version 1.10.3* You make our life difficult by the scrolling select of bp logs. It is easier to just type it than scroll endlessly looking for the numbers ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-09-02, version 1.10.5* I find this app very easy to use and helpful in recording blood pressure. Being able to send a chart is also helpful too. I notice there are coloured bars on the daily reading but I can’t find what the different colours mean. ### 5/5 — Very useful app *2026-08-29, version 1.10.5* I finish to be a very simple to use yet useful app. Highly recommended ### 5/5 — Very Good App *2026-08-26, version 1.10.5* Nice UI and very good app to track ### 5/5 — Great option *2026-08-21, version 1.10.5* Easy to use and track BP. I’d recommend ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-08-10, version 1.10.5* Easy to setup and use, simple and keeps a record. ### 5/5 — BP mismanagement *2026-07-18, version 1.10.5* Kudos to the developers of this app! It’s exactly what I needed. It is easy to use, makes tracking my bp simple and keep everything organized . My doctor is going to love it because now I do not have excuse not to keep a constant bp journal. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-09, version 1.10.5* Really simple to use and gives you easy understandable results. Highly recommend ### 5/5 — This app is the best! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2026-07-08, version 1.10.5* My doctor asked me to monitor my blood pressure and I’m so glad I found this app. It’s easy to use, the readings are easy to understand and I can easily share my results with my doctor. Best of all, it’s free and has no annoying ads. Thank you to the creators for making such a helpful app. Wishing you continued success! ### 5/5 — This app is the best! *2026-07-02, version 1.10.5* My doctor asked me to monitor my blood pressure and I’m so glad I found this app. It’s easy to use, the readings are easy to understand and I can easily share my results with my doctor.

That would be the icing on the cake :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
