Ratings and reviews

So far, so good with the app. My Bluetooth devices are syncing with the app, and I see the information going into my shared vitals section. I do find it odd that the time gets entered in the app correctly, but everything is showing up in shared vitals 3 hours after. Maybe it doesn't account for time zones? I don't see a way to adjust the time settings in the app. Other than that, so far, so good! This makes it so much easier to log my daily values for my doctor to review-I used to do this manual

The app works when it wants to work. Seems I always have to re-sync the device each time I try to use it. Half the time it doesn't receive the reading. And to top it off I have to go through the hassle of logging in daily to the app and ID me. I miss the old BP machine this new set up is too glitchy and wants to many steps.

Slow and wonky. After getting a notification that I have successfully downloaded data from a test device, when I go on the dashboard it still says no results for the day. Also getting result takes forever! The blue circle spin and spin and spin for several minutes. Is data stored on the phone or in the cloud somewhere?
