I've had the Qardio for about 3 months now - upgrading to 5 stars. I highly recommend the Qardio.
Why the upgrade?
The Qardio has a "clever" switch that turns the Qardio on when you unwrap the cuff - in theory. This doesn't seem to work reliably for me and I sometimes had to resort to opening and closing the battery cover. Now I don't have any problem turning the Qardio on. I don't know if this was a software update on my iPhone or if it always did this and it wasn't documented (or I didn't see the doc) but the following works every time:
Get the Qardio.
Turn on the app.
The power light on the Qardio briefly flashes green and the Start button on the app turns green - the Qardio is now powered on.
Unwrap the Qardio cuff.
Put the Qardio on your arm.
Hit the Start button.
Regarding my other concerns:
I very quickly got used to putting the Qardio on and can now do it very quickly with no fuss.
I'd still like the power light to stay on while the Qardio is on - this seems so basic (but not worth deducting a star now that I can reliably turn it on) Among other things, a normal power light would simplify pairing by giving confirmation that Qardio was turned on during pairing - the "cuff switch" doesn't always work for me (but that only matters before the Qardio is paired). But you can also turn the Qardio on by opening the battery cover, waiting a few seconds, and then closing it again right before you begin pairing. Not elegant but not difficult either and not worth deducting a star.
A button that lets you turn the Qardio on explicitly (while retaining automatic shutoff) would still be nice and would again eliminate potential pairing issues - there is such a thing as too elegant ;-).
*********
Does exactly what I want and works reliably every time with my iPhone,
I've lived with the Qardio for about a week now and I'm very happy with it.
The good: Accurate, easy to use. I follow the directions in the manual for taking accurate measurements and find that it consistently works without any issues. I have it set to average 3 measurements and that works consistently. The Qardio has only reported failure for a single reading since I started using it. I believe this was because I jerked my arm to pick something up while the reading was in progress - it failed because my arm movement compromised the accuracy of the reading - which is a good thing. I especially like that the hardware is attached to the cuff - this is one of the primary reasons I was interested in the Qardio vs. other, less expensive units with similar features. Once you get used to the combined cuff/hardware (which doesn't take much - see #3 below), the combined unit is much more convenient to handle and store than having separate cuff and hardware connected by a tube. The Qardio is so much more compact and easy to store as compared to my old BP monitor.
Some reviews mentioned battery issues. Mine came with a fresh set of high-quality, brand-name batteries - same retail labeling you'd find at the store - not the usual never-seen-that-brand-before-or-since generic batteries that typically come with electronics when batteries are included. Unit automatically shuts off after a period of inactivity to preserve battery life.
In addition to the combined cuff / hardware design, another reason I was interested in the Qardio was the Bluetooth connectivity and companion app that allows my iPhone to automatically log readings after they are taken. I know I could log my measurements manually but automatic logging of the data on my phone and upload to the cloud eliminates a manual step which makes it much more likely that I'll actually keep a log and makes it easier to share data with my doctor. Either you think this is a gimmick or you think - wow this will really help me keep track of my blood pressure. I'm in the second group and I'm finding it really does help. On the whole I might prefer a Wifi option instead of Bluetooth - my bathroom scale is WiFi enabled.. I only take my BP at home and I find WiFi connections tend to have fewer issues than Bluetooth connections. That said, the Qardio's Bluetooth connection works fine - haven't had any trouble with it. I have not tried to sync Qardio with the iOS health kit or whatever it's called so I can't comment on that feature - I don't need that at this point. I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 9.2.1 and the app has worked flawlessly so far.
The annoying (Why I didn't give it 5 stars):
Setup was a little stressful due to some questionable product design features.
1. The power light. The tiny green LED on one end of the unit "flashes briefly" when the unit is turned on (and when they say briefly, they mean it). Virtually every other power indicator I've ever encountered remains lit as long as the unit is powered on - why Qardio felt it necessary to break this well-known, long-standing convention is beyond me; LED's are extremely power efficient so it shouldn't be a battery life issue. The briefly flashing behavior makes some things more difficult than they need to be. I had trouble pairing my Qardio with my iPhone when I received it. I saw that the power light was off and I thought the batteries were dead (as mentioned in some other reviews) or that the unit was defective - neither was true. I had to read the manual more carefully to discover the "flashes briefly" behavior. It turned out the Qardio wasn't turned on (see also #2 below about the switch). If the Qardio doesn't pair/connect with the app, the lack of a useful power indicator means that you don't know if there's a problem with the app, a defect in the unit, dead batteries, the unit isn't turned on, or ???. I found this mostly an issue when I was initially pairing the Qardio with my phone and before I really read the manual. Having read the manual and gained some experience with my Qardio, the briefly flashing power indicator is a puzzling annoyance but not a deal killer.
2. Qardio's "On" switch is too clever by half. The unit has a magnet in the cuff and you wrap the cuff around the unit when not in use. The magnet allows the Qardio to sense when you unwrap the cuff so that it can turn itself on. Sounds elegant and smart in theory. But I agree with other reviewers that unwrapping the cuff doesn't seem to consistently turn the unit on. If the unit fails to turn on or if the unit shuts off automatically the only "official" way to turn the Qardio on is to wrap it back up in the cuff and then unwrap it again - that's not a user-friendly option. In practice, I just open the battery cover, wait a couple of seconds and then close it again. You shouldn't have to do that but it's not difficult either. No idea why unwrapping the cuff doesn't work consistently - maybe you have to wrap the cuff just-so or something? Or maybe there's some other issue but since the Qardio lacks a real power indicator it's hard to tell? In any case, I'd much rather have a button to push or a sensor to touch that would explicitly turn the Qardio on when I'M ready to take a measurement; unwrapping the cuff to turn it on makes a certain amount of sense but it should not be the only way to turn the unit on. Now that I've worked with the unit, the lack of a more obvious switch is a second puzzling annoyance but not a deal killer.
3. Hardware attached to cuff rests on top of your arm. This is a much more minor issue that is easily overcome. I struggled a bit to position the cuff correctly when I first started using the Qardio. While I was trying to tighten the cuff, the weight of the hardware kept making the cuff slip around when I was trying to tighten the cuff. I've since learned to keep the cuff relatively snug as I slide it on my arm, loosening it just enough as necessary to get it positioned on my upper arm. This is easy to do and makes positioning the cuff very manageable. Better yet would be to redesign the unit so that the hardware hangs under your arm when the cuff is correctly positioned - work with gravity instead of against it? I rest sitting at a table for 5 minutes before taking a measurement. Based on my initial difficulties with the cuff, I decided that I would put the cuff on first, then rest 5 minutes and finally take the measurement. The fact that the Qardio can only be turned on by unwrapping the cuff (bad feature) combined with auto-off (good feature) makes that impossible. When worn correctly, the Qardio's battery cover is on the end facing you - so - in theory - you could put the cuff on ahead of time and then pop the battery cover off and back on to turn it on when YOU were ready to take the measurement but I haven't tried that. Now that I've learned how to position the cuff, I just put the cuff on right before I take the measurement and don't worry about.
In summary, I'm very happy with the Qardio - the only thing holding it back from a 5 star review is a few relatively minor product design issues.
When I first got my QardioArm it was linked to my iPhone 7 and seemed to work pretty well then I upgrade it to my current device which is the iPhone X. I to bragged to my brother about how great the QardioArm was all the features that it had and how it seamlessly connected to my iPhone X it was easy to use and it was accurate and the best part, I didn’t need to bring that big clunky blood pressure machine which was like a flag in the breeze telling everybody that I had high blood pressure.
My friend called me a few weeks ago telling me he started having problems with his QardioArm go figure so did I it just didn’t want to connect anymore to my phone. It started to become an inconvenience, I even reset the Bluetooth connection as well as reset the QardioArm. And the worst part I uninstall the app and reinstalled it and what do you know I’m having the same problem as I had before I did all of this. My friend has the same exact problems. One thing that I find really annoying about this blood pressure cuff is that the app seems to eat my ram to the point that it becomes sluggish and unusable, after a reading I have to remove the cuff so that it disconnects from Bluetooth then close the app restart the app just to view my blood pressure and compare it to the other days. It’s also annoying to know that QardioArm has never even update this app wonder why it’s sluggish and eats ram. I’ve read all the comments and I see the responses from QardioArm they’re all the same that there was a problem when the app installed and that you should remove the app and reinstall it.
That’s all the developer ever says instead of fixing the darn app he just blames it on the installation. Let’s make something clear here when I installed the QardioArm app some five months ago it worked flawlessly for the first four months no problems. For if the app installed it self wrong it wouldn’t have worked in the beginning so it’s not the app it’s the crap software that the app is written on which is causing the problem, And let’s not forget Apple has updated iOS multiple times but QardioArm hasn’t updated their app not once so it’s not the app it’s the software that the app is built on which does not work with the current version of iOS and is causing problems such as crashes, eating large amounts of RAM, being sluggish, being unusable, it’s time to upgrade the app !!!
Lastly I would not recommend anybody buy this product for the simple fact that trying to communicate with QardioArm requires you write an email don’t provide a phone number no that makes sense !!! Instead let’s play email tag. On top of that QardioArm just blames everything on the app and makes you uninstall the app to reinstall it again another hassle. And let’s not forget when you do that you lose all of your blood pressure readings, how convenient !!!
Finally I just recently found a new Bluetooth blood pressure cuff made by Omron it’s the Omron Evolv. I recently saw it in a Rite Aid and it is $10 more than the QardioArm. I think it may be worth a try considering Omron is recommended by doctors and QardioArm isn’t. Thanks QardioArm for making me look like a complete donkey I told my doctor how great your device was I even told my doctor that she should start selling this product, I told my friends I told my brother and all you can ever say to your customers is when the app was installed it installed wrong you know and I know that’s complete BS and if you’re not gonna take responsibility for your product and keep up with the times and update your app then it’s time for me to Move on !!!!
**** Update After multiple emails to Qardio arm and no resolution I stopped using Qardio arm and I am currently using the number one brand Omron Evolv, It is a Bluetooth cuff and has an app and is more accurate than Qardio arms cuff. Side-by-side test the Qardio arm was 12 points off. The funny thing is you may not even have high blood pressure but the Qardio arm will tell you that you do by how in accurate readings are. The final straw was when I contacted Qardio arm and told them about how in accurate her blood pressure cuff was and the response was the app installed incorrectly and that I should reinstall it again you’ve got to be kidding me it’s the same excuse every time and honestly my blood pressure is more important then the lame excuse from Qardio arm good riddance !!!!
