Qardio - Arm Wireless Smart Blood Pressure Monitor - White

During normal operation (replacing the batteries) a small piece of plastic broke on the battery cap latch. Because the connector springs/coils are on the cap, the unit would no longer power up as the force exerted by the batteries is enough to push the cap off without the latch. This renders the product useless. I inquired via the support email if i could get a replacement battery cap. I was informed that the unit was out of warranty and that i would have to buy a new device. I'm ok with this being out of warranty, fair enough, but having no other option but to throw away a perfectly working device is shamefully wasteful in my opinion. Again the only thing wrong with it is the broken latch on the battery cap. I'm frustrated with Qardio because 1) I believe this is a design flaw, and 2) they offer no options to replace the cap other than buying a new unit altogether. I will be researching other like devices, being sure to pay attention to reviews such as this so I don’t get burned again.

The large brick makes fitting difficult, and difficult to cinch, you practically need someone else to put it on you. The app works great for tracking blood pressure, and allowed you to email that to your doctor, but there's no way to download that otherwise. Also when you email the results to your doctor, it doesn't send the most recent or latest, it sends them all. Which I guess is useful. I just really wish it as smaller, or maybe curved a little to fit on the arm. I'm suspect of the readings because one minute it can be way up and the next way down. Also, you cannot use it anywhere but the upper bicep, which kinda sucks. As a wrist device it would be amazing, but it's also inaccurate at the wrist, or forearm. It works, it's got a nice interface, but it's still very 1.0 it seems.

So far it’s been easy to use and very convenient. Don’t have to keep track the app does it for me.

Sometimes it doesn’t connect and the software doesn’t always show the start button, but once everything aligns, it’s excellent.

very easy to setup with iPhone. just downloaded the application and it incorporated the data to my iPhone health app. The power on indicator is hard to know if is on or off. When storing is difficult to know if it powered off. overall is a good unit.

I like this device for a lot of reasons. It is easy to use - instructions are simple and fitting it on the arm is, too. Integration with the iPhone app works perfectly. The app has useful features. In addition, it will export the readings into the Health app on my iPhone. I can, therefore, upload my readings to my doctor through the patient portal at his office. This is what I was looking for. As a physician myself I have taken blood pressures on patients countless times. I like this device, I trust it, and I would recommend it to others.

This device is convenient and accurate and works extremely well with the companion App. You can take up to three readings during a session for a consistent result. Blood pressure changes often and this is a great way to take readings at home or for travel. You can also email readings to your doctor and take a friend's blood pressure as well. It uses 4 AAA batteries included.

It is okay, but its cumbersome having to pull out your phone and wait for it to connect. Mine sometimes failed to connect so i have to buy another brand. But when it works it it great.
