Medela Family Pump Control

About this app

The Medela Family Pump Control app enables you to connect your Medela breast pump to your smartphone. Once connected, the app allows you to control your pump remotely. Note, the Medela Family Pump Control app is not required to use your Medela pump. You can control your Medela pump directly.
The Medela Family Pump Control app displays information on the active pumping session and saves the session history in the app. The app allows you to manually manage session history information and to export it for personal use only.

The Instructions for Use are embedded in the app.

Ratings and reviews

Device won't pair to the app, connects at first but when asked to press "+" or "-" it doesn't do anything and fails pairing. tried to reach out to chat within the hours given on the website but it said there are no agents available. So the App is broken and there's no way to get help. Please do not use this brand and go with one that has a workable product. The app is required for certain features of the pump.

The app interface itself is really intuitive but every session at least one of the pumps fails to connect to Bluetooth and then I get push notifications every couple minutes while pumping saying that the pump is failing to connect. The session info will randomly sync later during a subsequent pumping session but it's mostly useful during the session itself so I can control both pumps from my phone and see the estimated output. I wish the connection was more reliable.

The user guide claims that on the "rare occurrence" that session date data is not saved you can manually input it. But an exceptionally LARGE amount of times the device disconnects and reconnects. A NUMEROUS amount of data with no dates obstruct the view of actual data I want to see. The pump arbitrarily picks the strongest pump settings last tolerated which is painful for me instead of allowing me to ramp it up. Both phone and pump battery were always above 50%.
