Works great!
The app works great and records all the data available on my blood pressure monitor. The app also supports the two selectable users. My spouse has the same app on her phone as I do, and as long as we remember to change the user, everything is kept separate.
The app also easily transfers BP and pulse to Apple health without any issue.

2yrs later….
I purchased the Microlife BP kit @ Costco. The app is quite basic. No frills! Does what it says- record your BP readings. It syncs with my iPhone seamlessly & saves the data. My only complaint is that when I email the file, I have to change the time format from 24hrs to 12hrs. Although the app displays a 12hr format, the crv file does not. THIS REVIEW IS BASED ON THE OLD VERSION! I have not yet updated the software.

Creating profile crashes the app
The app crashes when add profile button is clicked. I gave up after some troubleshooting on my own and ended up emailing for support. Most healthcare devices come with a companion mobile app. That’s one of the decision factor when I purchased the device from Costco. Now seeing how dismal the app is, I’m contemplating returning the device.

Does not work with iPhone14
Does not work with iPhone14. Upon clicking on ‘+’ for creating profile, app crashes. Cannot record/download readings in app without creating profile. So the app is useless and without app don’t want the device so returning the device. Though device is good. Looks like this issue has been reported by many users for few months now and looks like microlife does not care to fix it.

Works like a charm.
Ive had this for a year now and it works great. Only had to spit it once and it sends the data to my health app on my iPhone.
I’ll give it 4 stars because I can’t give it 4.9.
See everything works perfect. The missing 0.1 to give it 5 stars to microlife device and app is because you gotta take an extra step to sync data to your iPhone. I read other reviews about it doesn’t sync well. I was experiencing the same situation, because we are used to the simple and easy way of how other devices sync, in this case is a bit different so I suggest to take a few minutes to read the instructions in the book and watch the tutorial in the app. After doing it so all will make perfect sense. Data transfer is easy and fast, you can even share it with your specialist.

Decent app
I read the instructions carefully, so I didn't have any of the problems most of the other reviews complained about. The app is simple and easy to use. And it does connect and sync to my iPhone.
Doesn’t stay paired with Iphone
I’ve had this monitor for a few years. I’m having the same problem with pairing as others. Stay away from this monitor if you don’t want to spend hours and hours trying to pair this item.
Once paired it seems to record but not worth the trouble.
Costco hopefully has pulled this item from stock.

Microlife blood pressure monitor.
Great device but it stopped putting my data in memory and don’t get me started on blue tooth drop with iPhone. Technology supposedly is at cutting edge peak and nothing communicates among gadgets any more. Your app either needs some tweaks or I go back to the dark ages of sharpening my pencil and writing on that tree creation called paper to physically track my blood pressure.

Won’t pair
When I first got their BP monitor it worked fine but haven’t been able to pair it since. Bought the monitor so I could automatically install the readings in my health app but because it won’t pair I can’t do that. Web info is worthless.
User unfriendly
The BP monitor works well. But the app is not easy to use. The directions are vague and generally not helpful. The online tutorial photos are far to small to read. If you were looking for connectivity with an iPhone I would not recommend. Needs much improvement.
Won’t sync with the Apple health app
The blood pressure device works wonderfully, but this app needs some more work. It doesn’t seem to be optimized for the iPhones with larger screens, like the pro models. And though I can sync the information to the app on my phone via Bluetooth, the info won’t appear on the Apple health app, even though NYT user profile has the “Sync data with Apple health” toggled on.

Does what it promises in description but …..
Just started using about a week. So far found no glitches in reading or data export. However I would love to see option for creating more graphical trend charts similar to the windows version of this app which I was using before with my older Microlife bp model. Or perhaps allow data to be easily exchanged with the Microlife windows 10 version software. I am sure this can be easily accomplished since they are both from Microlife. I may be purchasing different machine if this cannot be accomplished.

Device is fine, app is awful
I constantly have to re-pair the device to my phone. Often I have to reboot my phone to get it to work. It might do 2 or 3 data syncs and then it fails again.
For all the “good” reviewers who think the bad reviews are just stupid people who don’t read the instructions (awkwardly written and as incomplete as they are) I’ll say that I’m a software developer who knows a thing or two about troubleshooting issues and I’m not dismissive of end user issues, especially when the same issue (looses pairing) is reported multiple times.
If it happens to work for you, great! But you should understand there’s a serious flaw (probably in the device’s firmware) that creates problems for a large percentage of users.

App works flawlessly
Read the tutorial before pairing and using the app with the monitor. As long as you follow the tutorial everything works fine. No need to pair the device every time you use the monitor.
Akamai808AllDayWorks great
Contrary to other reviews, it does work great if you take a moment to understand how it works. In fact, after every bp reading the Bluetooth symbol will flash, allowing you to simply go to the dashboard in the app and move the phone near the monitor, at which point you press the connect button at the top of the screen. All the readings since the last sync will automatically transfer over and then clear the memory on the monitor. No need to pair it again ever.

Common Sense Applies
It works. The direction in the book are awkward. Tech support helped and everything works correctly now. There is help and if you have trouble reach out for it. BP monitors have to be used as outlined or you get funky answers. Bluetooth apps do not all work the same. Call tech support that what they are for. Glad I did

You have been cheated
Pros:
- You can export your measurements to Excel , Google or CSV
- Works with Apple health, not sure how well.
Cons:
- The app is poorly engineered
- The app deleted my past measurements
- The app reads in all the data on the device memory but fails to store it long term
- The user interface is not intuitive, I am lead to believe it was a rushed or money saving product for the company (very little investment in software and apps).
- must connect each time you read from device
- if you use the device and had the wrong person selected, good luck removing that without clearing the device memory. I did not do this and each time the incorrect persons reading comes up on the app and I have to remove it each time.
- bought it for my elderly parents and even I can’t use it without frustration.

Pairing impossible
The device itself is great, but the app does not pair. I was able to only pair it the very first time. After that pairing is impossible. That is the only reason I bought it, was to track my BP daily.
App is Okay - Documentation Needs Help
Downloaded the app after I had purchased the Microlife BP monitor from Costco. Set up my profile and was ready to download my readings from the monitor to my iPhone. I needed to get the BP monitor to turn on its Bluetooth...so I read the manual which said to press and hold the Power switch to activate the Bluetooth. Well, this model had a slide switch for the power...not a button. Called the Microlife support and was helped relatively quickly...the manual is wrong they said. Press and hold the Start icon on the screen. That worked!
The app does download the readings quickly. I haven’t tried exporting the data but will soon. It would be nice if the app could generate a simple graph of the blood pressure readings.
So I’ve had no Bluetooth connection problems with my iPhone at all. The app itself seems to work but has limited functions. Hopefully the developers will add more features in the future.
