Despite the fact that it is supposed to track more than one person, we have been unable to set it up I enter my husband's information, but when he attempts to take his blood pressure, he is prompted to enter I have tried contacting the company for assistance, but have not received a response. Qardio is an excellent product that worked great for two users before the battery clip broke. We bought a second one and had the same problem, but contacted the company, they refused to answer any questions. If you had supplied a replacement clip or cover for the battery compartment, we would have been pleased. In general, I preferred the Qardio to the other unit.
There will be no BPM Connect for other apps besides Health Mate.

The pros are There are no compression points on the carrying case, which makes it very sturdy. There's almost no way to get there The case should be A few cons I was unable to connect the BPM Connect. The hard-to-reach user gave instructions to fix it (There is small text on dark brown paper) After reading the booklet, I installed the latest version of the I have already downloaded the May 1, 2020) update onto my Android phone (which isn't jailbroken or having any other issues). My installation went smoothly, and when I tried to connect to the BPM Connect via Bluetooth, it seemed to work (it didn't report a failure). When I tried to proceed to the next step to create a Healthmate account, I received an error message saying, "Oops". It appears that there is a connection problem. If the problem persists, please try My research on the Internet revealed that this seems to be a very common problem with the current version of the app. Someone pointed me back to version 4 on a website I found. Since Version 0 (May 14, 2019) supports only Withings BPM and BPM Plus, I installed it in my phone, but it doesn't support BPM Connect. I found another person who recommended Version 4. There is One (March 21, 2020), but I couldn't install that one on my phone (it's not available in the Google Play store, so you have to scrounge around for the APK file, and this one had several parts). Please see 2. When I attempted to simply turn on the BPM Connect unit and take a blood pressure reading, the unit would only proceed to the Setup step (which needs the app to get done) and it would not proceed beyond that step. A single-parent family It does not do anything when you press the button. A long-term project When you press the button, the setup mode begins, which will not end until you click the button again. Then press the button My device was at 86% power when I plugged in the charger cable, so I knew it wasn't the battery. 2.
3. It's not easy to tighten the unit so that the sleeve wraps around your arm properly when you place it on your upper arm. As a result, the excess material tends to skew towards the upper arm and comes out from the side of the lower part of the sleeve instead of wrapping around to the top. In any case, I'm returning it and buying something that actually works (not sure what I'm going to buy). In addition to the "oops" problem, there was a lack of response from Withings on all accounts. On the official Withings Facebook page, you will also find requests for assistance from users with broken watches, etc. , which did not receive a response from Withings after repeated attempts to get in touch with support. I am also worried about the recent Amazon reviews here-- My computer reported high readings, but I never got it to work so it is difficult to gauge.
It reads blood pressure and pulse more accurately than wrist BP machines and is just as easy to use as manual BP. It is easy to use and, when paired with the carrying case, is very convenient to carry along. Initially, it required a great deal of effort to connect and still has issues syncing to the application. A single reading will not be recorded by the app more than once a A BP measurement taken under different circumstances might be useful from time to time. A wide and too large strap is also an issue. Having long, fat arms is not for everyone. There appears to be no way to replace the battery. There is a big problem with Withings - they no longer seem to be able to get real certification for any of their products. There is something tragic about the fact that a health product manufacturer like Withings cannot get FDA certification while toy manufacturers like Apple can.
Depending on the direction, the BPM Connect readings are high compared to those on the other devices. Even odder, the BPM seems to be more than reasonably close to what other devices are measuring and reporting when I turn it on in the opposite direction from how it is directed (button up instead of down by elbow). Currently, I'm trying to figure out what exactly is wrong with a Withings representative in order to locate the problem (part or procedure). As technical assistance has been sought with Withings, we've exchanged several comparison readings between the BPM and the Omron worn correctly and incorrectly.
I recall my doctor telling me (via online visits) that not enough people are checking their blood pressure since the pandemic started. There was no way I was. My favorite thing to do is not to cook. Later, I bought this BP monitor and the scale from Withings, which put me in the ecosystem. I like how easy it is It is nice to keep records and keep an eye on things This report shows. It is comfortable. Display with a stylish look. The information I need to submit to my doctor every three months for my appointments is related to diabetes. This is very easy to do with Withings, and the doctor loves it as well. As good as this is, I didn't see anything like it from anyone else.
In both the single and triple (average) readings, the results sounded accurate and consistent in each case. A benefit that I appreciate is that it's small and easy to carry when I'm traveling. In many cases, users may find it difficult to quickly put the cuff on and tighten it while keeping it straight, as is usually the case with cuffs like this. For those folks, it should resolve after a bit of practice. Easy to take guest readings or to add readings to an additional profile. * I was also able to delete a wrong reading that would otherwise have adversely affected.
There is no provision for setting a second user, and it is impossible to program for three It was a disappointment.
The person from whom I would like to discuss the set-up was not available I have been having trouble setting up Withings' app on my iPhone for this blood pressure monitor. In spite of the fact that Withings claims to provide live telephone support, I could not find a As a result, I was pushed back to generic FAQs that didn't answer my specific issue. I went to Withings' customer support system and validated my email address, but each time I attempted to do so, I received an "invalid token" response no matter if I was using my PC, Mac, or iPhone. During this experience, I found the brand to have a blemish, and my opinion of it was very negative.
