### 1/5 — Issues with app

*2026-07-19*

I wanted this to be useful, but half of the time, there are errors when you take the picture and requests to try again later so you just continue to retake. The protocol won’t save a test result so I’ve completed 8 tests and it’s only logged 5. Very disappointing.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for sharing exactly what happened, it helps us more than you'd think. We appreciate you taking the 8 tests even though you faced problems. Camera errors that force a retake, plus results that don't save sounds like a bug in the app.

Could you email us ask@eli.health with your account email ID, and roughly when the missing three tests happened, and we'll dig in and follow up directly. We would love to make this right for you. Looking forward to hearing from you.

### 1/5 — Poor App Experience

*2026-07-11*

Don’t waste your money.  The application’s use of the camera is unreliable and difficult.  It makes the system unusable for readings.  It is a test strip with an unreliable reader.

**Developer response:** Hi, sorry the camera reader made this feel unusable instead of easy. That's not what we want anyone testing with the Hormometer to deal with.  We have seen that with some troubleshooting on our side we are able to solve a majority of customer issues.

Email us at ask@eli.health and we'll help you get readings and solve this for you.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

### 1/5 — False Data and Hope

*2026-06-12*

I am a trained scientist, had no failed tests, and followed the letter of the law. Per Eli I had depleted cortisol and a reason to explain my fatigue. I made an urgent appointment with my PCP who did a blood draw; a result of 2-3 on the device, with all other tests significantly lower, was 9.7 per standard of care blood test. Now I’ve wasted money on these devices, made my PCP think I am an idiot, and am no closer to figuring out my fatigue. Hell of an idiot tax.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and we are sorry for the frustration. This is not the experience we want for our users. One thing worth noting on the cortisol comparison: saliva and blood tests measure different things. Blood tests typically measure total cortisol (bound and free), while Eli measures only free (active) cortisol. These values are not directly comparable, so the difference in numbers does not necessarily indicate an inaccuracy. Please reach out to us at ask@eli.health if you have any other questions.

### 1/5 — Waste of money and a scam

*2026-06-07*

Do not waste your money on this garbage. I took a test and scanned the same test multiple times and each time it gave a different score and it ranged from 1 (which would be the lowest I’ve had in my entire life) up to 20. This is just not possible. This platform is garbage. What a scam.

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we are truly sorry for the frustration this experience has caused. Accuracy is something we take very seriously. A few things can affect scan results, including scanning before the 20-minute mark or in low-lighting conditions. Making sure those are in place can make a real difference. That said, we would love the opportunity to help you directly. Please reach out to us at ask@eli.health and our team will be happy to send replacements, offer a refund, or support you in any way we can.

### 5/5 — First impression

*2026-06-06*

I’m impressed with this company! This test was simple and easy to do at home with both manual instructions or an app to guide.

### 1/5 — Low confidence readings

*2026-05-09*

My wife and I have each taken two readings. One when we woke up and one early afternoon. We followed the instructions in the app, and used the in-app timers. All four results were exactly the same (0.5-1.0 - low). There’s 13 years between us, and very different sleeping patterns/quality. My confidence is the accuracy of these readings very low and this feels like a wasted investment. Looking at the other reviews, our experience isn’t unique. It’s unfortunate most people won’t read these reviews prior to purchasing the test strips.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience, and for being so thorough in your feedback. We're truly sorry this didn't meet your expectations. We take accuracy very seriously. Many factors can impact results between individuals and we'd love to walk through your experience with you directly. Please reach out to us at ask@eli.health so our team can make things right.

### 5/5 — Great for tracking cortisol levels as a cyclist

*2026-04-29, version 1.5.0*

My boyfriend and I use this all the time! The app is user friendly and the product is easy to use. We usually test post bike ride, so it’s insightful to see the difference in levels based on the type of ride we go out for.

### 2/5 — Not a great experience so far

*2026-04-28*

So far 50% of the tests were defective and did not register anything. The tests that did register had 2 major issues. First, taking the picture is a royal pain in the rear. Takes forever and has a real hard time registering what it’s seeing. Second issue is accuracy. I tested with Eli just before getting a test from Quest and the discrepancy was huge. Eli said I barely registered any cortisol but quest labs had me at the upper end of the normal range. I will not be ordering any more.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and we are sorry for the frustration. This is not the experience we want for our users. We have recently updated our scanning experience to make it faster and more intuitive, and we hope you notice the difference. One thing worth noting on the cortisol comparison: saliva and blood tests measure different things. Blood tests typically measure total cortisol (bound and free), while Eli measures only free (active) cortisol. These values are not directly comparable, so the difference in numbers does not necessarily indicate an inaccuracy. For the tests that did not develop, please reach out to us at ask@eli.health and our team will be happy to send replacements.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-04-28*

This company provides an innovative way to keep tabs on our health with a product that is easy to use. As other reviewers noted, this product is not meant to replace labs and discussions with health care providers, but it does give users an insight into the correspondence between how they are experiencing stress and how this might be reflected in a lab-like marker. 

Unlike a few other reviewers, I found the product easy to use, the instructions super clear, as they walk you through the process step by step. I also appreciated getting setup instructions before the tests even arrived. 

If it weren’t for the high price of the tests, I would certainly use it more often.

### 2/5 — Very confusing

*2026-04-17*

I’ve done 5 tests and although they all look the same (lines in the same place on each sample) when I take a picture one says I have high cortisol and the others say I have low cortisol. How are they differentiated? I’ve wanted to think these test could help identify my cortisol levels, but I’m doubting it now.

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your experience and for taking the time to leave a review! We completely understand your concern, and we want to help clarify how the results work. Your cortisol level is determined by the intensity of the lines, rather than their position. Even when lines appear to be in the same place, subtle differences in how dark or faint they are is what determines whether your cortisol is high or low. That said, we'd love to make sure you're getting the best experience possible. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us at ask@eli.health and our team will be happy to help.
