Ratings and reviews

The app is not compatible with updated phones. As a leader in cutting-edge medical equipment, I was thrilled to be able to monitor my heart issues on my phone...until I got a better phone that tracks health better. Then I discovered how many newer phones this app hasn't caught up to. This is a serious flaw. I keep checking back for an update but, almost two months later, still nothing. Now I wonder what the point was in having the procedure when I can't monitor or report an issue. Major fail.

App regularly closes itself even though all permissions are granted for it. That means i can't send reports because by the time it opens and connects, the info is lost (my loop recorder only holds 5-7 minutes of info). It also crashes about half the time I try to send a report (and again, info is lost). Fix this!!

Medtronic and my MD request that I keep the app always running. Even though it has a background process, they really do want the UI minimized. That said, the app doesn't automatically restart when the phone reboots so I have to manually start it. And when I do, the app appears to hang displaying its splash screen about 80+% of the time. Uploads from my ICD are thus unlikely. And I've found no way to submit defect reports to Medtronics. 😥😳
