This app appears to do its job but it has an incredibly annoying startup sound that cannot be turned off. This issue has been reported for years based on the reviews so I must think Abbott has little care for its end users.

My 4 year old daughter suffered from unknown cardiac issues, after 3 random cardiac arrests with no known cause the doctors begged me to put this “loop recorder” in her so it can constantly monitor her heart so if she has another random cardiac arrest they can see what her heart did before, during, and after. Well it happened, but this time the cardiac arrest took her life, but in the darkness came the light that she had this loop recorder in her and at least I could find out what happened, low and behold it recorded only when her heart stopped, not before, and not after! You know why???? Because I didn’t push the button on the stupid app to record while I was trying to keep her alive until the ambulance got to my home, turns out they only had it set to record at certain times while in side so only less then 60 and more than 150 unless you push the app. Just a way for the medical field to rob people of more money.

Looking back in hindsight(always 20/20) I should have read the reviews of this product however being the trusting soul I am, I assumed my cardio guy would install a device that works….. not in this case or apparently in many other instances (read the reviews). The app fails to load, even after deleting it from the smart phone & reinstalling numerous times…. The actual device doesn’t appear to connect via Bluetooth with any sense of regularity…. Why is this product even on the market? Why are cardio guys installing this crap?? Oh that’s right, they’re getting paid by the device manufacturers (very well I assume) to install this crap into us lab rats….. sell the stock or better yet, don’t buy it!

For the first two years, the app was okay. However, when manually entering symptoms, the options to select symptoms is limited and inadequate. There needs to be an “other” option to allow for logging of cardiac symptoms not listed. Also, there needs to be an option to indicate activity during the episode, so that doctors may link cause and effect. Very recently, the ability to manually enter symptoms symptoms to send to my provider has disappeared. This is stupid. If I’m having any kind of symptoms, I need to be able to log them so my provider can review and evaluate. I will look for a buffet app to monitor my Loop Recorder.
