Ratings and reviews

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. 😥😳

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!!

Theoretically, this app does what it is designed to do: connect to my implanted heart monitoring device and send that data to my doctor. However, there is no feedback to me, the user/patient, on what it actually does. It would be nice to be able to SEE some of that data. I get more information from Fitbit/my Pixel Watch than this. Also the app regularly (and quietly) crashes and stops responding, requiring it to be forcibly restarted. I only hope it's not losing data when this happens.
