Great pump - great app
I really like the pump, and the app makes it much easier to know the length of time and pump style that suits. I can track how much I am getting from each pump which is reassuring.
Elvie double
Has great suction and I love being able to control things through my phone! However, the only downside to this pump is the amount of parts you need to clean. Waaayyyyyy too many!
Dark Mode
Please make a dark mode for those who pump in the middle of the night and don’t want to be blinded by a bright white screen.
Additionally I wish the timer feature would alert you when the time is up while you’re using other apps. A simple pop up would be useful.

Pump works fine. App does not
My pump works as expected. The app absolutely sucks. It crashes all the time and when it does it fails to connect to upload pump amount data. Basically useless app.
Great app. Could use a manual entry option.
The app is great for tracking as long as you don’t lose connection to your pump. If the connection is lost you aren’t able to input your ounces on most occasions. It would be great if you could add entries manually for these types of situations.
Very easy to use
Very easy to connect, to use and track
App leaves a lot to be desired
I really wish Elvie would listen to the many customer reviews and update their app. The app doesn’t actually sent any notifications and it would be helpful for pumping reminders or when the pump is full. There’s also quite a lag when doing the functions on the app that sometimes it’s faster to press the buttons on the pump itself (pause/start, suction level, etc). Also a pain to have to connect the pumps every time and press start even if you’ve already started pumping. I’ve found the measurements to be way off and have to adjust them after every single pump. I wish the app would tell you how much actual battery life is left (either a percentage or estimated time) other than just a very small icon because I feel like I’m charging it quite often and not sure if I need to. Overall, love the pump, hate the app.

Terrible
The Elvie pumps themselves are functional, however, the app needs major improvement. Regardless of how many ounces I chart per session, the app changes the amount! This is completely absurd. I can’t accurately keep track of how many ounces I’m pumping without having to write it down separately. You’re also unable to add sessions that were missed due to the app freezing after pumping and not adding the session!

Works well but
It would be more helpful as a busy mom if you could manually add pumping sessions in the app in the event you didn’t have access to your phone while pumping.
Good but logs out
The app itself it’s fine when it works. However once a week it logs me out and then doesn’t accept my credentials. Eventually it resets itself and works fine. Not ideal.
Useful but could use an upgrade
Love the tracking, timer, and the ability that I have to control it from my phone instead of checking my pumps all the time. Also love that it has a feature to tell you when it is full, and it stops pumping that way it causes less damage. But I wish I were a little more user-friendly and a little more interactive and able to delete past histories on the phone. This was a pump, gifted to me after being previously used and their data is still on my app connected to the pumps themselves.

Great pump but the app is not dependable
This is a great wearable pump but the app crashes every couple of weeks to the point I can not log in to track the time I’ve been pumping since the pump alone does not have a timer. It’s more of a convenience but I’m sure there are other mothers who use the app in more ways than I do and when they cannot use the app, I’m sure it can be more frustrating for them.

Requires too many clicks
I need to click multiple times to enter session details which is frustrating
Good but outdated
This app syncs easily to the pump once connected and each time the pump is turned on you can track the time spent pumping and log output. However, the alert for a timer send a notification to your phone but regardless of your phone settings it will not actually alert the device with sound or by even lighting up when the notification comes thru, very pointless setting since it doesn't actually alert you. I always wish to track time and stop pumping after x min but I can only do so by setting an external timer on my phone or checking the time within the app.

App keeps crashing for over a week at a time
I thought the app was okay, not extremely useful but I used it to check how long I’ve been using my pump because there’s no timer on it. It used to automatically shut off after thirty minutes but since using the app it regularly will go 45+ plus without shutting off. Lately there has been several instances of over a week at a time that the app is completely down, saying “an error occurred.” I try all of supports suggestions and they refuse to acknowledge it’s the apps problem. Completely useless. It’s currently been six days since I’ve been able to log in and is a massive inconvenience.

Needs larger font for ounces pumped
The app is very functional except one change could make a huge difference. PLEASE make the font for how much milk is pumped larger. You’ve got the time huge in the middle. You think these are going great because you’ve been pumping so long only to realize you’ve pumped .25 oz. If I were able to see the quantity pumped better (hello I’m sleep deprived and pumping in low-light conditions in the middle of the night), I’d realize something isn’t right. Just reassembling the parts or adjusting nipple placement corrects the issue but by that time, I’ve wasted precious minutes where I could go back to sleep.

Surprisingly Disapponting
I have used the Elvie for 2 months now and am surprised for the price ($550) that the app has as many problems as it does. Firstly, the pumps disconnect from the app about 50% of the time I use it. When they disconnect, the amount of time I have been pumping disappears and you are unable to save the amount of time or milk you pumped. A secondary and related concern has to do with the fact that I am unable to save a manual pumping entry. This is necessary for when the pumps disconnect. Lastly, you are unable to edit the time pumped on an existing session (if you are lucky enough to finally get one past the pumping stage). This is necessary for when the session fails. To get around these issues I’ll typically start a fake session, finish it, and mark the milk I had pumped so that it will save. Unfortunately, the amount of time will be incorrect (ex: 5 seconds instead of 15 minutes). Regardless, I know my data of total quantity pumped is skewed because I haven’t had the energy to follow this step when I pump in the middle of the night. These features all greatly disappoint me, especially given the hefty price point. I wish I bought a different wearable pump for less than half the price with better reviews. I have this review 2 stars instead of 1 because I do like the dashboard that shows the pumping stats and articles linked for advice.

Super Helpful App!
I absolutely love the Elvie Stride Pumps!! I had one in 2022 and bought the Elvie Stride 2 this year! The app is super helpful! I love that it logs my ounces pumped, and session times so I can keep up with my pumping schedule and output! It is also very helpful that I can control the pump from my phone so I don’t have to always utilize the pump! I highly recommend!

Great pump! Terrible app
The pump is great! So discreet and very well made. Well worth the money. However, the app has pretty bad user experience. The buttons are not uniform in style making it hard to figure out where to click. Also, changing between pumping styles doesn’t seem to result in any change to suction strength or rhythm .
Always starts at a 5 and that’s painful. Not a well designed app!

Faulty Product
Purchase for my wife and one of the two stopped working after one pregnancy with minimal use, contacted Elvie and they advised they have nothing they can do to help except spend another $550! Outrageous and terrible that they cannot even back up their own product, 10/10 do not recommend.
