Good idea, but the sensor doesn’t sync automatically with app, so no record of your puffs. Shame.
Best app. For people with asthma and COPD.
I’ve been using this app for the last four years, the sensor don’t work anymore but the app does. This app help me remind myself about taking my medication and not forgetting. When I do forget, I look at the app if I took it or not. Every time I take my medication, I have my phone and the app open like that I don’t forget to put the dose in. You have to create other gadgets for others medication that the sensor don’t fit. Like TRELLGY, I know it’s a cartridge. Definitely be hard to create a device. Thank you for creating this app.

Problem with upgrade ?
Hi I’ve been using Propeller , and it has been helpful keeping track of my meds . Although , I’ve used the propeller up until the sensors stop working . Than I have a heck of a time keeping track , I move my times around the clock taking them at odd times like , 1:30am then the second dose 1:30 pm , 7:30 pm , 11:30 pm , etc . I’m not complaining about the times taking my medicines , I keep a log now on when I take them at different times , and if I miss a dose or two , I stop taking it , because I can’t remember if I took it or not . I emailed that the propeller wasn’t working right , now I enter a dose on my medication and it accepts it to save , but now every time I enter a dose the it won’t let me X out of the page , and I just shut off my phone to get back into the propeller App . I just got this phone a couple of weeks ago , and it worked ok until I sent an email of the problem . I still have my old phone and it does the same thing on that phone . It enters 12 times the same dosage I just took and the time is the same also 12 times . ? Bug fix ? I don’t know , upgrade again ? I don’t know , I hope someone can look into it thanks

Nuisance
I have found the propeller to be an added nuisance to my routine. I am generally good at taking prescribed medication in a timely manner. I had hoped it would help me determine why I have sporadic productive coughing each day. However, I don’t know my “triggers”. Nor do my doctors apparently. “Symptoms” don’t include “productive” cough, which is my daily problem. I am on multiple medications related to my condition and the propeller can only measure 1, so it is a nuisance to have to enter every thing every day.

Best App Ever
This keeps me updated on the weather conditions outside and how it may contribute to aggravate my asthma.
Has reminders for certain meds and lets me log reasons for inhaler usage to help me keep aware of my asthma triggers

Amazing App!
I’ve always thought inhalers should have a sensor! My only complaint, when I take an inhaled long acting medication Propeller counts this as inhaler usage in the Health App. I don’t think this should be happening. Inhaler usage in the health app should only be used for rescue inhaler usage, not inhaled control medications.

The best app ever
Honestly, this is the best app you could ever have to both help remind you to take your inhalers, but also track your usage so it’s easier to show your providers how often you are using your rescue inhaler and whatnot. I have had this for a while now, and I will always use this.
Greedy
I’ve had this app and sensors since the beta program. Was told I would receive free replacements when the batteries died. One was replaced a few months ago and upon the second replacement I was told that they no longer issue free replacements and that I had to pay $80 to Walgreens to get a replacement now. I set an alarm on my phone for twice a day to remind me to take my meds so I refuse to pay $80 for something that was promised me for free..

Amazing.
This app is great, it helps me track my use of inhaler and even write notes in case something triggered me. I definitely recommend this app for all the asthmatics out there!
If you get a free sensor, it’s great!
This really helped me remember if I had taken my ellipta inhaler or not when I first started getting used to all my new treatments. However, the cost to replace the sensor is really steep and I’ll be using pen and paper to track use from now on.
Not “selling” or accepting mew users
I downloaded the app because I simply wanted to track my inhaler usage. I was happy to just enter the information via the app, but was intrigued when I found out they made a sensor for certain inhalers. Regardless even though you download the app, it’s completely non-functional because you can’t get past registration. This is completely a bait and switch, you cannot even register if you just have asthma because they’re not excepting new people. This is borderline against the Apple‘s policy of record having a non-functioning app and not disclosing. If you answered you had COPD you could complete the wizard, but only if you would pay 7999 to buy a sensor from Walgreens, that won’t even fit a pro air rescue inhaler. Well they may be good if you meet certain criteria, the apps description is misleading and it’s non-functional for me. One star was generous

Great devise
This reminder helps me stay at 100% compliance with my meds. Extremely helpful.
Amazing
This has helped me and my doctors so much on finding how to better help me. It’s so helpful with weather changes and just all around times so I can see if it’s while I am sleeping or exercising. Just all around amazing
Helpful, but could use some improvements…
Was recently a witness to a house fire 2 yards away from where I was, and inhaled some smoke, and had to take a couple of puffs of my inhaler and either the app didn’t catch that 2 puffs were taken or the device didn’t report it. Either way, I had to go in and manually edit the information. Unfortunately, I’ve noticed this is the norm whenever I take more than 1 puff of my inhaler.

Great for tracking doses, but not with air quality accuracy…
I thought the point of tracking was to try to figure out what’s causing the need for inhalers with asthma and whatnot. Yes, it’s great to be able to check in the app to see the last time I used my inhaler. BUT a major flaw… if it’s being used for studies to see what might be causing issues locally or whatnot, I’d think the Air Quality portion when a dose is taken would be a high priority. I’m not sure why it says the air quality is good where I’m at. Yes, my AQI is good at 43, BUT… local dust levels are purple… Listed as Very high with WebMD allergy and Extreme with AccuWeather. I’m very very sensitive to these levels. The purpose of Propeller just doesn’t seem like it’s doing any justice in the research department if Air Quality is listed as excellent at the time I take a dose, when in fact the dust levels are off the charts.
Please fix it! Definitely a huge flaw in the purpose and use of Propeller!

Great data on rescue inhaler
I’ve had the propeller device on my rescue inhaler for a few weeks now, and I’ve been really impressed with it. Every time I use it, it records the information in the app. The app itself, syncs with Apple Health Kit on my phone.
In the past, every time I used the inhaler, I had to remember to record it in the Health Kit for my asthma specialist so I could give her the data. Now, propeller does that for me AND it provides a method for me to input what I suspect is/are the trigger(s) causing my coughing and having to use the inhaler. And, a great plus, is that the app also provides a report for the specialist.
Best app I’ve downloaded in a long time.

Good asthma tracker
I have used propeller for several years to keep track of my maintenance and rescue inhaler usage. It was very useful in helping to spot triggers and trends in my asthma symptoms. I find the alarm on my maintenance inhaler to be helpful in remembering my morning and evening doses. The reason I gave it 3 stars is because the app no longer includes a tracker for my Xopenex HFA rescue inhaler. I now have to enter each use manually to keep track of it in the app, which is not convenient when I am struggling to breathe and just want to go about my normal life. Please bring back the Xopenex sensor!
