Blood Oxygen App 12+

Not enough ratings.

So you only check what the O2 is once or twice per night. Not enough for what I am paying for it. You should be checking it every couple of hours to get a good picture of what is going on. So if you don’t change that, I’ll be looking for a different app next time. UPDATE: Thank you for answering my questions. It helped me understand why there’s such a difference from night to night. And during the day. It only registers when there is no movement, every 30 minutes. Maybe they could have it check every 15 minutes to give a person, who moves a lot at night, a better idea of their night.

Hi!
Night measurements are automatic and carried out by the original Apple Health app. Unfortunately, they are still very dependent on the level of activity you have during your sleep. So far, using Apple technology, to take measurements you need to remain motionless for 15 seconds. Such measurements are carried out every 30 minutes. Alas, at night we cannot control our movements and if they are registered, their measurement is considered unsuccessful and is not recorded, everything is like during the day. If you have questions or ideas how to improve this technique, please contact Apple Tech Support.

Alert Function doesn’t have notifications with sound /vibrations

Thought that this would cover Apples gap of not being able to get immediate notifications on low blood oxygen. It did provide a “banner “ notification - but would not provide immediate notification for actions. Need to have a sound or vibrating alerts on IPhone or IWatch … like with all the advertising that hits our watches. I use a CPAP and supplemental O2. However, when I fall asleep without putting my medical equipment on my blood O2 can drop to 78%. On a recent plane trip I fell asleep and was between 84 to 78% oxygen for an extended timeframe. I needed an oxygen alarm to wake me up. Tried to notify the supplier of this app to see if I was doing something wrong - but it was tough to get information back about this item. I have cancelled the subscription. If this app can provide the required alarm / alert … it would be worth the $25 cost

No response … garage App … deleted already

Parts of this aren’t accessible users, who are blind, or visually impaired

Hello,
I am a user, who is totally blind with light perception only. Since I cannot exactly see the light from the camera, however, I do not know where the front facing camera is actually located on my iPhone. There is no tactile marker for that, or the flash, so I cannot accurately use send features to track heart rate. However, my much older Apple Watch is too can’t work with your app either. I will do the best I can, but have no other pulse oximetry data in the form of devices that can load with this app. Very good, voiceover support, by the way. Very good day.

H! To measure your heart rate, our app uses the back camera and the flashlight, not the front-facing camera. Close to the back camera you can tactile the flashlight, and track your heart rate.
