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.
