Both app and device are a waste of money
The app doesn’t work well. It’s hard to understand how to use it and it doesn’t give accurate readings. The device is expensive and you can tell they don’t develop this product. The app has had zero updates in over two years.
Such a shame.
I think the machine itself works well. I hope. But the app is so frustrating. Every time I go to use it, I have to turn my entire phone off and back on again and then start the app all over again for it to read the meter. Sometimes it stops in mid read. I want to keep the machine and not send it back because I like doing the breath rather than poking my fingers but unless they improve the app, it really makes it useless or very difficult and it shouldn’t be this hard. Seems like nobody is really monitoring the ratings on the app or what anybody is saying.

Great app!
Works well. Easy to use. Software support is excellent and very responsive. This is my second Ketonix. Really cool not to be tethered to the computer any longer. Great work Ketonix! Nailed it.
Working great for me
I have my profile set up and save my data consistently.
As for the Ketonix breathalyzer, I was doing that all wrong. Directions!
Read the directions and ensure you are completely emptying your lungs. No need to inhale first!
The app is easy to use and being able to analyze day, week, month, year and customize your results are fantastic.

Bad customer support
I bought the Ketonix professional. The app won’t open the additional features I paid for. I contacted Ketonix and they told me that it’s already working (????). No it isn’t sorry. That’s a waste of at least 60$. Their customer support leaves something to be desired. At least I can still measure ketones.

Why round input data!?
One of the best features of the original version of the app was the ability to input body fat and weight measurements, etc with decimal points.
Now they are being rounded!!!
Given that the signals for body fat measurement and weight can be noisy unnecessary rounding affects the trend analysis even more.
Please bring back full precision on your app and database!!!!

Functional (but room for improvement)
Most recent update: I’m curious as to the purpose of the “low carb diet” Check box on the measure screen. If I don’t check it all readings are zero (ie. It doesn’t measure anything, I even tried it with pure acetone vapour, still zero). Also if I do check it I seem to get much higher readings than I would have with the previous version. I’m now questioning the results.

Does what it's supposed to do
Not sure what all the negativity is about. If all the app did was measure breath acetone levels and chart it, that alone is worth 5 stars imo (but it does other things as well). Device works perfectly for me. Just make sure you charge it completely before using, turn your phone's Bluetooth on and you're good to go.

App very buggy
I like the app and the way it works but its so buggy. I would say every 3rd time I use it I have to reboot my phone. The circular meter starts doing circles like some crazy roulette wheel and the only way to get it back to normal is to reboot my phone. As you can imagine this is very annoying! Hopefully they will have an upgrade to fix this in the future.

Not usable
Wow. I wish I had read these reviews before purchasing. Spent $100 for an app that is basically unusable.
I was able to get this to display some data from a reading, but I have 0 confidence that it means anything reliable.
There are no obvious units, measurements are highly erratic and change by a factor of 2 in back to back measurements. It says ppm in one place, but that measurement doesn’t match with the chart which is unit-less.
There is no way to view saved data after 7-days. The app is full of greyed out buttons. Such as the “custom” button on the analysis tab that looks like it might show past data but instead does nothing. There is no place to perhaps upgrade the setting or something.
This app is a prototype at best for proof of concept only. Not for use by a paying customer.
I’m a scientist and am accustomed to using technical equipment, so I am willing to deal with somewhat inscrutable equipment, but this doesn’t even allow me to get to the point of useful data in the first place.

Pay for hardware get lame app
Wish I would have known I needed this app to make the hardware work. More accurately, I wish the app functioned better than a grade school coding project. Takes 5-10 minutes to connect, gives lousy interpretation of ketosis readings. Reverted back to peeing on a stick. The whole point in investing $100+ was to get precise readings to be able to know the immediate effects of specific changes in diet and exercise, that’s what the site sold me on when I bought the hardware. Disappointed, save your money, or maybe the company will eventually take some of the revenue and invest it in a high school kid to recode the app.

Doesn’t connect to either desktop or iPhone Bluetooth
Worthless. I have a brand new desktop and a brand new iPhone so I know nothings wrong with either of those. Both devices say the Bluetooth is turned on. But this key tonics device will not connect via Bluetooth to either one of them. So I can’t use the app. If I want to measure my key tones, I have to sit at my desk top computer and plug it in with the USB. Saving measurements to my profile takes at least a good five minutes, and I can’t find anywhere that tells me what the readings mean. The instructional videos are a joke.

I don’t recommend the latest version.
Please let me uninstall and get the previous version back. If you measure in low Ketosis you won’t get the result in this version. It’s almost as if the scale changed.
Cannot register so can’t use app or device
User registration attempt elicits an error message saying selected username is not available... but there is no actual username data field so unable to resolve
Much better!
The latest version of the app is a huge improvement over previous versions. Many more options for tracking, lots of information and guides, feedback on results, and big step up on the interface. Still has some problems, but the app offers a lot more now.
Great hardware poor software
App is clunky, slow to connect, graphs hard to use and doesn’t integrate with Apple Health app. Design seems like it’s from 2012 or something, and doesn’t do the hardware justice. Makes me wish I’d bought the cheaper non-Bluetooth unit and stuck to the color codes. Ketonix hope you will write a decent app to replace this and integrate it with Apple health, really shouldn’t be hard

Absolute crap
This app is junk, the update was pointless and now does not save any data, gives an index.html error. The £200 device is rendered worthless by not having an app developer who actually knows what they are doing. Shocking!
Expensive and not worth it
Think twice before you you purchase this product !! When it works it’s great . The app is horrible they did a update now my meter will not connect . Better off to you a blood meter and pay for strips than buy a 300 dollar meter that doesn’t work !!!
Help Please! Bad Experience! Don’t recommend!!!
The hardware looks nice but doesn’t function! The app is awful and won’t let me create a new profile to use. Instead you have to use the default. The device connects and says its ready. But doesn’t measure anything. This is an expensive device, the app should be stellar and the hardware should work. I will be returning this if I don’t get a response with help and if the app is not improved immediately!

Hire someone/someone else to build your app
What a pointless update. All previous problems still there, only a WiFi icon from the 90’s now on the connection page. I’m done wasting my time with this app, the amount you charge for the unit and you cannot hire someone reasonable to build the app? What a joke.
