### 5/5 — Readings help watch trends

*2026-09-01*

I’m finding that with this app I’m able to keep an eye on trends. If too low or too high I’m off for a check up. I’m still waiting for mobile bp which has not yet been done

### 1/5 — Poor support and unreliable product

*2026-08-12*

I had brought this some time with high expectations and as a medical professional myself, I am not I’m at all with various factors of the product and poor services from the team when contacted. Maybe the newer updates would have fixed it but then or a new marketing strategy.

**Developer response:** We appreciate your professional perspective and are sorry you had that experience. Your feedback on both product and service is important to us. Please reach out to support@aktiia.com so we can understand what didn't meet your expectations and address it properly. Hilo Support

### 5/5 — Hilo

*2026-08-11*

First week everything working great, very happy so far.

**Developer response:** That's wonderful! We're so glad you're happy with Hilo. Let us know if you need any help along the way. Hilo Support

### 5/5 — Kidney issues

*2026-08-08*

I’m very happy with Hilo. My Husband got it for me because I have great butterfly wings. 
When I used my other BP monitor half the time I would get errors and have to try several times which ends up hurting. 
This has been so easy to use, sync and wear the monitor. My Dr will be happy to be able to see the reports as I am very bad for that.

**Developer response:** That's wonderful to hear! We're glad Hilo is making it simpler for you and helping you share reliable data with your doctor. Thank you for choosing us. Hilo Support

### 1/5 — Extremely low quality material and no support

*2026-08-03*

I have my hilo for a year now, it’s a Great concept and I like it very much, but my 1 star is for their low quality bands , the subsequent total lack of support and not to mention their overpriced plastic bands..
I am on my 3rd Hilo band, the first stopped working 1 month into it, second in month 8 of its usage , had to buy the third on their site since support never replied to my numerous emails and chats.. it seems  like if they are good broke..
My recommendation since you’re charging yearly, make the band affordable and free to replace if it’s that low quality till you improve on the quality..
PS: the bands I used never touched water.

**Developer response:** We appreciate your feedback and apologize for the delay. We are currently working through a significant backlog of messages and will reach out to you as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience. Hilo Support

### 1/5 — Questionable readings

*2026-08-03*

Product gives questionable and  inaccurate readings.  Tested side by side against a blood pressure monitoring device and the Hilo numbers are lower thus giving useless heath info.

**Developer response:** Dear Customer, We appreciate your comment and understand that the annual subscription can feel like a significant investment. It is true that a yearly subscription is required to continue using Hilo. As Hilo is a dynamic product with new features continuously being introduced, there is continuous research and development involved, and in some cases additional clinical validations are also required. The subscription helps support these ongoing efforts and the continued evolution of Hilo, allowing us to keep improving the experience and technology for our users. Kind regards, Your Hilo Team

Cordialement, Hilo Team

### 1/5 — Disclosure issue

*2026-07-18*

I originally posted this because I wasn’t informed that I’d need to pay AU$199 annually just to keep using the band after the first year. This complete lack of disclosure is highly unethical.

However, after using it more, the actual performance is a major issue. The band uses some kind of "black magic" to calculate hourly average blood pressure, meaning you cannot get discrete readings for a specific time, nor does it offer on-demand readings. Worse, the data is completely inaccurate. My traditional arm-cuff readings were consistently higher, while the band's readings just hovered around a narrow, safe-looking range. I actually changed my medication, and the band completely failed to detect my dangerously high blood pressure, giving me a false sense of security.

A medical tracker that doesn't track accurately is dangerous. I have returned it to Amazon as it does not perform as claimed.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. The annual subscription enables cloud storage, data security, algorithm management, and ongoing technical support — all essential for medical device operation. For information about subscription requirements, please visit our website or contact support@aktiia.com. We are sorry that this has not been communicated transparently enough. Best regards, Hilo Support Team

### 5/5 — Rubbish app

*2026-07-16*

Constant issues with the app not being able to access their cloud servers 
Tried reinstalling the app twice but still will not load
They need to fix this for a $200 a year subscription

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you so much for reporting this. Our team will review this issue and fix it as soon as possible.

### 1/5 — Disclosure issue

*2026-06-18*

I bought the band, and I was not informed that I would need to pay AU$199 annually to continue using it after the first year. This lack of disclosure is, at the very least, unethical.
