Simple, useful interface
Everything works pretty well, but it crashes and has to be reopened every time it syncs with the device. Upon reopening, it saves as expected.
Also, I never could get the reminders to work.
Otherwise, everything is very straightforward and easy to understand. It syncs with Apple Health just fine. Simple and easy is key and this app hits the mark.

Bluetooth not working
It’s not working- it’s connected to my phone (phone is updated and is an iPhone 14, shows the BP as connected to Bluetooth.) Date is still not updated on this monitor as instructions say will happen when connected. Also the “Bluetooth icon on BP machine” is not on, even though it is connected to my phone. I have tried to connect phone and monitor-with monitor on and off. I get a message from app that it is not connected, to Bluetooth after it appears to have tried to connect. Weirdly app asks to verify which model and I check yes/or continue and then msg not able to connect! It’s already connected in my phone- the app doesn’t show a new update since I installed it a couple days ago.
The settings for the app are on, BUT IT WILL NOT CONNECT TO THIS APP AND I CAN FIND NO PLACE FOR ASSISTANCE!! EVERY “help” link just circles back to the same UNHELPFUL PAGES.
I would LOVE TO GET THIS FIXED; and change this review- please share a way to get help for this.

Terrible app for an awful machine
I’ve had the associated bp monitor since late Jan 2023. App & monitor worked pretty reliably until Apr 15, 2023. Up to then, I’d have a few misses/syncing issues each month. After that date in April, no syncing & error messages with every use. I’ve spent hours trying to remedy - changed batteries, offloaded/reloaded app, played endlessly turning Bluetooth on and off both on device and my phone. There are never any updates to app. To make it even more frustrating, I now get multiple error messages when I use the monitor. Always the Bluetooth connection error, and intermittently every other error possible. I paid $100 for this device and need to use it 4x/day in course of care for elderly parents. It’s a joke - don’t waste your money.

Please help no developer email
My lovely $85 blood pressure device does not allow user 2 to be accessible. User1 is fine. Uploads, beautiful. User 2 has no data on the app. User2 does have data on the device. There has been no way to switch between user 1 and user 2. Inspite on getting for a looong time.
Where is the app manager email? The device is very lovely but the ios app is worthless for more than one user on a 2021 apple se phone. In addition the full writing doesn’t show up sized to my screen. So they are words i don’t get to see! Please help.

satisfaction
I just got it last night, it did not offer an alternative to the answer like "not sure" & I am not dissatisfied. There are a couple of things, one being I would like to set the parameters that my doctor wants. Another is, a pouch to store in, so it's not just lying around. However, I love the bluetooth capability!

So easy
Love having this device & connected app. Makes tracking & reporting so much easier.
Doesnt work for me anymore
Was working well for about 3 months. Now the app will not save any data delivered to it from my blood pressure monitor. It says it is syncing with the device, shows the result from the test the device just took, and then when i click on save the data simply disappears forever.
Multiple purchases multiple problems
I have purchased three versions of this blood pressure monitor with Bluetooth every time I have issues with syncing to my devices. My latest issue is that my machine attempted to sync and erased three years of history. You would think with today’s technology and a budget the size of Walgreens, they would not put their name on something unless it worked consistently well. You can tell by the tone I am not happy with Walgreens. Multiple trips to their store multiple phone calls with their tech support and emails and still they cannot solve the issue with this app

Response from developer
Hey there! On behalf of our development team, I want to personally apologize for the connection issues you've had with your monitor. This is not what our app experience is meant to be, and I appreciate your honest feedback. That being said, we've been hard at work and were able to successfully identify what was causing the issues in iOS 13. The good news is that this update is currently live and you can update now instead of your App Store. If you continue to have issues feel free to reach out to us at BPHealthApp@homedics.com. Thanks again for your patience and feedback! -Matt
App showing blank page after sync
The app was working great until a few days ago. After syncing readings, it goes to a page that is blank other than the Finalize & Save button at the bottom. Support website doesn’t have anyway to contact support. Clicking Help in the app does nothing as well. Leaving this here so hopefully the developer sees it and fixes the issue. I am using an iPhone 13 Pro Max running iOS 15.5.

Does not sort correctly by time, does not correctly handle CSV export of comments
This app does basically what I need it to do, but it does not show my data in chronological order. For example, it jumps around from 7:00 pm to 1:00 am and then to 1:00 pm, for readings within one calendar date. It seems to be sometimes mixing up the time readings were imported to the phone with the date/time of the actual readings on the BP device.
Secondly, the “export” option will create invalid data files if you have commas in your “comments”. I use comments to record, for example, “after brisk walk, 1.25 miles, 93F”. CSV means “comma-separated values.” The CSV file will not be read correctly in other apps (like Excel) because using commas within a field (without proper handling) makes it non-compliant.
It would make sense to prevent commas from being used in comments.
Synchronization works fine for me and my iPhone 13 Pro Max.
I appreciate Walgreens creating a basic app that does not try to show you commercials, push other products, etc.
The hardware is great. It seems to be correctly identifying irregular heart rhythm. This is extremely important for my health.

Please make graphs expand to show readings over a longer period of time
It would be very helpful to see how my blood pressure readings change over time, on a graph. This at-a-glance view could work wonders for understanding one’s biometric health as it evolves over time.
Please make this change - then the app would earn 5 stars on my opinion. It will help my health care providers see a more complete picture of my heart health (including detecting issues) if I had a longer/historical view of blood pressure data entries, in graphical format.
Thank you for creating this app! I love the Bluetooth feature and that the readings are in one convenient app.

Saving data
First couple days, the app worked fine. But, the last 3 days, when I tap “Finalize and Save”, the app just closes. When I open it back up, the past 3 days measures are still there, unsaved.
Have been using it for a year. Works great
I take my blood pressure twice a day every day and it helps me keep track of my monthly yearly and of course seven day, with ease.
Glitchy
Great app other than every few days when it goes to save my data it glitches and kicks me off. It won’t let me do anything on it and repeatedly kicks me off when I click save and I have to delete the app and reinstall it for it to work again.
It’s great… when it works
The reason I bought this BP machine was for its ability to sync the results to my phone. When it connects, it is great, BUT every week or two I have to delete the app and reload. It randomly decides to just refuse to sync. I would hate to be an older person trying to deal with such a finicky product. I have downloaded it so many times since December, I know the pattern of where the buttons are to touch for the app setup. I think I could do it with my eyes closed. For the amount of money spent to purchase the machine, I would expect a more stable interface.

Trouble saving measurement’s
Have been using the monitor successfully for months, and it Bluetooths to my iPhone. Have tried to save the data to my phone today and the app shuts down wit each try?
App doesn’t sync
I bought a new about 100 dollar bp monitor thinking it will sync up with my iPhone. Unfortunately it doesn’t work. The health data that would have been stored on the phone to trend my vitals failed to record. I’m returning the bp machine ASAP to get a different brand. The whole process is annoying.
If only it was reliable
If this app didn’t crash when trying to retrieve data from the meter, or fail to connect to the meter, I would give it 5 stars.
Killing the app and restarting it (swipe up from the bottom and swipe the app off the screen) doesn’t always “fix” the problem. Sometimes you have to “don’t save” readings that it finally retrieves.
Adding manual entries is klugey as well. Sometimes buttons work and sometimes not.
Maybe Walgreens should have hired a real development team instead of making it some high school kid’s science project.
If it worked, it would be an easy and useful tool. If it worked.

Infinite crash glitch
When this app works it works amazing but what’s holding it back from 5 starts is the fact that sometimes it won’t detect your monitor and then will get stuck in an infinite crash loop until you uninstall and reinstall it again. Very annoying as it happens decently often!
Blood Pressure Monitor
Very useful tool to track my BP as often I as wish, tacking action on a daily basis to avoid raising the measurements, I take my records to my cardiologist as a a reference.
Some times it’s difficult to synchronize with my phone, just delete the app and install it again.
