This app has the ability to track nearly everything I need in one place. It appears that there are very few apps available to track all of a person’s vitals. I was ecstatic when I came upon My Vitals. In my case, this app replaced 2 or 3 other apps. My Vitals allows one to track blood pressure, pulse, blood glucose, weight, temperature, and oxygen saturation. It will, also, plot out the results, to be seen on a graph either by month or year. Navigation between the different vital types is relatively easy, as are editing results or deleting them.
That said, there are some significant deficiencies. The blood glucose recordings for a day are all together; so, one has to edit the first results when recording subsequent ones. The app does not record the time of blood glucose checks and it only has the ability to record readings labeled “Before Breakfast,” “Before Lunch,” “2 hours after meals” (for which, there is only one space and it is listed after lunch), and “Bedtime.” In addition, there is no place to add notes. Say one has adjusted the amount of insulin or started a new medication, that cannot be noted on a result OR anywhere in the app, for that matter. Should one forget to record a result and choose to do so later, one must delete the subsequent results and re-enter them after recording the earlier one. Otherwise, the results will not be listed by date and time. That makes it more difficult to see trends, at a glance, Lastly, while the graphs are nice, one cannot specify a particular time frame and there is no way to zoom into a specific area on the plot graph.
For the most part, I remain relatively happy to use this app. My Vitals could easily be a five star app, with some changes. For now, I give it three.
