OMRON connect US/CAN/EMEA Reviews

by RockStar_Will

This was a great app over the past year. But a couple days ago it stopped working on my iPhone 11. Every time I clicked on the icon. It just showed the splash screen and the closed down. Online it just said to delete OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA and reinstall it. When I did that this new version got installed saying I had to install another app fo Kardia. The Kardia app won’t let me add my OMRON device. So back to OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA; it no longer works with my iPhone Health app. Everything is set to talk to each other on the iPhone (upload/download) but in the health app it just says inactive for my OMRON Direct. So nothing gets transferred. Another annoying thing about the OMRON app it the way it keep flipping upside down every time I set it into cradle on top of my BP7900. So I have to read it upside down. Also it seems to have no way for me to review the good reports like I used to be able to see on the old app even though I’m paying for the service. I’m very disappointed.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication! In other words use the KISS method; Keep It Simple, Stupid! This new unimproved update is a total screw up. Went from a very simple to use User Interface to a total convoluted way of doing things. The BP machine does not even connect to the IPad ! And it wants me to enter a user Id and pwd. Before it kept me connected and all I had to do was to bring up OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA , take my blood pressure and then transfer and bring up the reading with a touch of the green bar. The history was shown in a clean tabular list. You should hire a Human Factors and a web designer engineer with common sense! Guaranteed, nobody is going to want to buy the product with such poorly designed UI. Additionally it is evident that proper testing was no done. I am the only person using the machine, yet it would not let me continue to do the connection because User 1 (of 2) was already in use and would history would be erased, but when I confirmed I was user 1, it would circle back to the same question and warning, forcing me to switch to User 2. I recommend that OMRON pull the update and go back to the previous version.

One star or zero stars? Where is the old app? I’d rather keep it, much simpler, easier and faster to use; relied upon it to provide info like “irregular heartbeat”, not seen on machine screen.

The new, blunders, beginning with first requiring ID and PW sign-in along with country designation. Then, SECTIONS and PAGES of assignment of your rights which put HIPPA in kindergarten. OMRON “doesn’t sell” they share the information derived from you, about you and possibly who are you. All the sharing parties are not specifically identified. My thought: Should say seek legal advice before agreeing.

I paid good money for a BP monitoring machine with Bluetooth and simple App. All the other stuff this current App does, maybe newer OMRON machines report. My machine was purchased to track BP and Heart Rate and report to whom I choose. OMRON I understand your goal to improve your product but not at the expense of functionality and privacy of your customers. I cannot sign OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA as presented.

All of the negative reviews are true unfortunately. What makes it particularly sad is that OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA developers went from a pretty decent product to one that is so awful that it really seems that it was purposely contemptuous of users rather than an honest mistake in judgment or a programming bug. I just can’t figure out why....what’s the business strategy here? Sadly, most people will have already expended the cash for the device before experiencing this abysmal “free” application. And the fact that it appears to be an intentional step in the wrong direction makes it unlikely any “fixes” will be forthcoming even though it would be as easy as going back to the old version.

Later: when I first wrote the above, the average rating by reviewers was 1.8. When I checked today it was inexplicably 3.8. But if you read the reviews nearly all the “5 stars” were awful (and understandably so), until you scroll back to before the update. The highish reviews back then were for the earlier version, before the screw-up when it became awesomely bad. The high star ratings since then are either “star typos” or sabotage.

OMRON now requires you to sign in with a password and sign a contract of adhesion. Previously required you keep the microphone on to use the Blood Pressure Monitor. Be AWARE of OMRON Healthcare Co. from Japan!
As of May 2021, the purchaser of OMRON Blood Pressure Monitor and EKG must sign a EULA otherwise known as a End User License Agreement and after reviewing some 35 screens of contractual language, the purchaser must acknowledge and agree to their terms contained in the EULA by pressing the “I agree” green block at the end of the EULA. If you press Cancel, you go back to the sign in page and cannot use the Blood Pressure Monitor with included EKG as advertised with your iPhone. You can not modify, amend, strike out any words or paragraphs, change, as the contract is known as a contract of adhesion. Although you can use the device without recording to the iPhone, you cannot use the EKG to monitor your heart as advertised. I have been recently diagnosed with heart blockages and necessitate the use of a daily EKG to monitor my heart as I did for years prior to the requirement to sign/agree to the mandatory EULA. As a result of being precluded from its use, I DEMAND A FULL REFUND OF MY MONEY.

There’s no option to communicate with the developer via text, or email. A phone call is the only mode provided, which doesn’t work well for hearing impaired Customers. The person answering the phone was intent on collecting marketing data, rather than dealing with App issues. When The diversion was questioned, the Customer Service person said, “I need to know I’m speaking with the right person”. Until I begin providing personal information, there was no way that customer service rep could’ve known who was on the phone in the first place. It seemed to be an absurd statement with marketing, rather than customer service motivation.
After downloading the most recent version from OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA Store, the version’s current data were for October 2025, with no means of correcting, or deleting errors. Omron’s posted Support options listed an Application User manual, but upon opening, it was the device manual, not OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA manual. As a Senior with decades of Sales and Public Service, I would say Omron needs a more Customer-User, rather than Marketing, orientation, i.e. Sales follow Customer Service.

For those of us who use OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA with only the Omron blood pressure monitor, the latest version now saddles us with additional keystrokes to get to the information we need. In the previous version, I could see the history and the chart all on one screen when entering OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA . Now I have to exit the main screen, go to history, go to blood pressure, in order to just see the history. In addition I used to see the text I input for each reading (left and right arm), directly in the history. Now I have to click on each icon for each reading in order to see the text. Finally the graphing function is a total joke. You can only see two or three readings on the graph at any one time. I used to be able to see an entire week or month on the chart. Can you please fix this by it putting back the way it was. And while you're at it, give your managers and developers a two-star rating at performance review time.

by MadiA88

I really loved OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA before the update. I agree with the previous
‘updater dissenters’. The way we have to input is more work, and less visibility for what we need. I have ESRD and record my BP post dialysis along with my weight and also on non dialysis days-which my PCP & cardiologist appreciate as they can download the info from my phone to my medical records. I only hope the notes follow with the recordings. My other major complaint is the weight-we no longer can do kg? Why not? The slider was the best!!!
My wish is that another company comes along to compete with OMRON-they would certainly have my business if it came to be. What a step backwards for us users. I thought app updates were supposed to make it easier to use OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA not make it more difficult.
I was very frustrated for a couple of days as well trying to get this all figured out! The new ‘instructions’ were ridiculous.

by RevRik

I’ve been using the OMRON app to automatically log my BP for a while, per physician instructions. Super easy & quick. May, 2021 update is somebody’s idea of trying to reduce OMRON users. What a giant hassle. First, after after update, I’m forced to go through all the legal crap I already did before. I have to sign in from scratch. And, now, rather than a click to transfer my readings, I have to step through a myriad of non-relevant clicks to transfer my data.
Used to have a large window instantly ready to record my notes for the doc. The notes remained visible w/each reading. Now, OMRON gives user a little narrow field onto which to record a note & it isn’t visible w/each recorded BP. SO, I have to to click each note to view individually.
I think somebody who has never used OMRON to track their stats decided to create the new app & thus ruin it for the everyday user.
OMRON, you messed up seriously this time.

by Sherdp

I somewhat like the new look, but what matters most is that you can retrieve the data for the person who needs to see it - your Doctor! I use the note section quite regularly to explain what I was doing or what I ate (sodium) to help my doctor figure out why my BP fluctuates so much and when I hit the share button I was very disappointed. 1.) No matter what format I used it would only only show maybe 100 characters of the notes and cut the rest off. Very frustrating! 2.) Before the update it showed the entire note but it would put it on the right and you would have to scroll horizontally to read the entire comment. Again who has time to scroll back and forth, not a doctor.

I like the look when you click list option when showing the BP history. The numbers are coded by color for quick reference and the entire comment is listed under the reading. It would be nice to be able to have the PDF version look exactly like that. Then I can share easily with my doctor and he/she can read the date/time of each reading and any notes I might have added. Please fix this. I am tired of having to create a spreadsheet that is readable for my doctor.

by Karl1234567891011

Device generally works fine and is easy to use but I used to be able to export data for long periods as well as a pdf of the blood pressure graph and can no longer do that since the developer updated their software. That was very useful to send to my doc. OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA is substantially changed and now it seems you can only export one or two months at a time. This creates more work for me as I now have to remember to export every month and then merge it deck spreadsheets. Considering this was seemless before this is a big step back. To me it looks like they are crippling these features to force you to pay $10/month for a subscription. Being limited to exporting only a month at a time is pretty lame when the data is already there. Also, $10 a month for these features is definitely not worth it. $2 maybe but 10? No way. I bought the device. I don’t expect to pay a monthly fee too. Won’t be buying another OMRON device with this new forced subscription model….

by Mark Mellis

In general I find the new update to be OK. It is different, and that does cause some initial confusion, but I got past most of that in a day or two. I have one observation about the usability of the new app vs previous versions. The graphing function on the new app is headed in the right direction, but the data points are so far apart that I can’t see trends any more, because only two or three data points show up on the screen at a time. I’d prefer to see a week worth of data in portrait orientation and a month worth of data in landscape orientation. Since I export the data to the Apple Health app and its display is exactly what I want, there is no net loss from my perspective, other than a waste of time figuring out that I don’t want to use the graphing feature in OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA any more.
I have another comment about how I use OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA . My primary interest in this software for it to get the data from my blood pressure meter and feed it to the Apple Health app and infrastructure. I am not interested analyzing the data in the Omron app, or in buying a bunch of additional Omron instruments and using the Omron app as the center of my wellness universe. Everything other than moving blood pressure and heart rate into Apple Health are anti-features in my book.

by Eveninglight

The most recent update to OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA _substantially_ improves the graphical display of blood pressure. Thanks! Previously, selecting amongst Daily, Weekly, Monthly or Yearly would have no effect on the display. Now, the blood pressure display works as expected and is far more useful. Please implement the same functionality for the weight display so trends over a long period an be compactly displayed as with BP. Still having occasional Bluetooth update fails and have to manually enter a new reading.

Previously - A ‘pretty’ interface is not necessarily a functional interface. The graphical history view of BP is nearly useless. In the previous graphical history, one could easily observe long term trends. Same with weight history. Kindly provide an option for the old displays. I don’t find the current implementation at all useful. Also, Sync now unreliable. Roughly half the time, I will take a new reading, but after sync, OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA shows no new readings (the new reading shows up in the OMRON memory). I end up having to enter the reading manually. Worked perfectly and reliably before the update. Series 5 OMRON.

It seems like it should be possible to store the history of blood pressure readings and other health information locally on-device without being forced to set up an account with Omron. My solution to this has been to use a fake name and fudge some of my personal information so that it can’t be easily correlated with my actual health records. I don’t need my health data to be stored in yet another account on some mysterious cloud server.

I would trust their storage of my health data much more if there weren’t an opt in option to consent to advertising based on my health records! Advertising should never be based on anybody’s health records. I have not opted in, but the fact that they even offered an option suggests to me that they are not to be trusted with my real name in my account. I only set up an account because I do want the functionality of being able to track my readings overtime.

by DmmAjm

I purchased the equipment only for Omron to update its settings and charge 100 dollars or more to continue milking their customers. These units are not cheap to start with and I was so proud to own this BP equipment only to absolutely “hate” ever purchasing it. Whoever came up with the idea of that ridiculous update need to be fired!!! I will not purchase anymore of Omron products until they get rid of charging additional fees to their loyal customers. Charge those, if you will that are newbies…not your years of buying and faithful customers.

And on another note: I can see a class action lawsuit behind this new update. When I first purchased the product I could sync, share with my doctors, etc. Now Omron updates their app and everything I purchased the item for gets taken away…”Class Action Lawsuit”.

by G'rilla 925

OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA does a good job at displaying daily averages in either a weekly, monthly or annual view. The annual is particularly useful as it is presented as the monthly averages. A good summary view to share—via screenshot—with my doctor.
About six months ago—after a particularly bad annual check-up—I undertook a major reset on my diet, exercise regimen and overall lifestyle. Having the monthly and annual view, and seeing my blood pressure slowly trending week by week downward from unacceptably high to the solidly healthy zone was a great motivator to keep me going on my wellness program.
OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA also automatically ports data to Apple Health, if enabled.
Only problem is maybe 10-20% of the time syncing between my iPhone and OMRON BP monitor doesn’t go smoothly. Don’t know if this is a hardware or app problem, but deducted one star.

by C200000

The device seems to consistently read blood pressure accurately (I compare to Dr. office visits monthly). I was able to set up the Bluetooth and pair with my phone easily. This Bluetooth pairing has not been seamless over the life of my OMRON BP monitor, but I have been able to remove the device from my iPhone’s settings as well as OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA and then re-pair when syncing stops working. All works properly now, but when it goes awry, delete and re-pair.

OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA has recently undergone a major overhaul. The updated app feels a bit bloated and written to track other metrics than blood pressure (steps?, activity, weight, ekg…). Maybe most users have a larger collection of OMRON devices and benefit from this additional functionality, leaving me as an outlier. I find it distracting when I receive “insights” based on a woefully inaccurate number of steps my OMRON app believes I have taken. Not sure where the data is coming from, but it’s not Fitbit.

In summary, a seemingly consistent and accurate blood pressure monitor that may take a small amount of effort to keep paired with your phone. OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA works, but is still being developed.

by KrisMuse

OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA seems to be getting my most recent BP readings now. I was able to delete the scale reading from a guest using the scale, following the developer’s comments. Thanks!

OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA partially works. I have a BP786N blood pressure device. OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA recognized the BP device and seemed to download the data. There was an indication on the BP786N that it connected and transferred the data. The latest data it displayed was from four years ago and not today’s BP reading. It connect to the BCM500 fine and downloaded the latest reading. However a guest used the scale without telling me and now there’s a reading that’s 14 lbs. over my real weight. I can’t delete it. The system is supposed to automatically detect who is stepping on the scale based on your readings and failed to do so.

by WithBenefits

New update resulted in legacy device; specifically BP786N, initially unable to connect to the Omron Connect app. After repeated attempts, I realized that the BP monitor was not properly set to pair on bluetooth—problem resolved. Not so successful in re-pairing the Kardia6L (six lead) EKG device to Omron Connect app. At a lost for a fix—cannot get the Kardia Six Lead EKG to activate or interoperate on the Omron Connect app. It appears the activation screen is missing the Left Ankle or Left Knee detection option. Totally lost Kardia6L EKG history from previous Omron Connect software revision. Kardia6L EKG independently works fine on the AliveCor app. The history in AliveCor app was also lost. Just talked to Omron Technical Support by telephone. Please confirm that Kardia6L will no longer work on the updated Omron Connect app. It appears there is no intention to fix this interoperability problem. Please confirm.

by NJdave22

The new application is terrible. I have lost most of the features that I used in the previous version in this new version. You can no longer use the BP7900 exclusively as an EKG meter with NO connection for Blood Pressure. When you use the BP7450 for Blood Pressure readings the new application no longer automatically creates a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet entry. Please post the old version of the application in the Apple App Store so that users have a choice. So far I’m an extremely disappointed user of two of your best meters; the BP7450 and the BP7900! Nearly ready to trash these and switch to a different vendor. Buyer Beware!!!!!

Originally purchased Omron BP Machine because of the ability to sync with the Omron Wellness app and, FURTHER, it’s ability to migrate that data to HealthKit where other health data from other sources is migrated. Well, I was recently notified upon opening the Wellness app that there was a new app, the Connect app, that I needed to download due to Wellness being outdated and that I needed to begin using Connect. So, I downloaded Connect, logged in with my Omron account, took a reading, and went on my merry way. I am now discovering that NONE of my readings are migrating to HealthKit DESPITE having it setup in the settings app AND having the sharing preferences for Omron Connect enabled in the sharing tab within HealthKit. Yes, after you enable the HealthKit sharing option within the Connect app it will then just offer a tip window reminding you to enable the sharing preferences in the HealthKit app. What a disaster. My reason for purchasing this BP monitor is now null and void. Omron, you may want to fix this issue and worry less about getting people to subscribe to your “premium” features, features that are a bit redundant and available from other sources already.

by Sara3bey

UPDATED: No longer transfers readings to my phone. Have unpaired & re-paired, & basic TS. I can see it’s paired & connected in settings/ Bluetooth, yet OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA literally spins for less than 3 seconds and tells me it can’t find my device, while the phone and BP cuff are side by side. I have continued to press “transfer “ since it took a ridiculous amount of presses in the past, but at this point it’s clearly not working. Looking forward to an update.

Great in theory, and great when it works, but get ready to press “transfer readings” on your iPhone about 23x before it transfers the info from the cuff to the phone. I often just give up and transfer them later after another round of readings, but by then I cannot recall the posture specifics or other notes that I should add to OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA for my Drs reference. I would find this far more frustrating if my symptoms were more severe. The design and quality of the cuff is great, and hopefully the connection issues are resolved in a future update.

by Terrell Smith

As others have noted, the new OMRON Connect does NOT import all the BP reading into Apple Health if you have the BP unit set to read three times. Instead, it only imports the average. The older version, OMRON Wellness did. And still does, but it duplicates readings, because it no longer checks to see if readings have already been imported. The new OMRON Connect has several new features - all of which are “premium” features for added cost. When I bought my OMRON, I already paid extra for the ability to connect with my iPhone. This “upgrade” is a disappointment. Unfortunately it’s forced upon us. They caused the old version to stop working. For those who are having trouble getting the readings into Apple Health, it does import the average. You need to set it to do so from within the OMRON app first by turning on sharing of BP readings, after that turn the OMRON Connect imports in Apple Health. The new app often generates error messages on the OMRON. I have to turn it off, then run OMRON Connect, hit import, wait, then the dancing square lights come on on the OMRON. The old app didn’t have these errors.

by TJB428

Given this cuff is a couple years old but with every IPhone IOS update it becomes harder to get it to sync with my Iphone. The old app prior to the integration of the two lead Kardia EGK monitor in OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA worked flawlessly but now I have the hardest time getting it to sync. Not to mention I pay for the $100/year service to monitor both BP and my heart rate. My cardiologist recommended two years ago that I purchase the Kardia device when it was new and had the 786 cuff roughly a year before that. I wish they didn’t integrate the two into one app and won’t be subscribing to the cloud based service which is a shame. I have CDK along with some afib issues and my nephrologist and cardiologist liked reviewing the monthly reports to fine tune my medications. The company has really dropped the ball. The Kardia device is much more accurate than a one lead on the Apple Watch for example which my cardiologist says is junk. It also makes me question the interpretation of the apps EKG monitoring since I can feel when I have a heart flutter and OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA AI registers that everything is ok. I would avoid both until they get this sorted.

by Qwerty Nerd

The biggest selling point of the hardware to go with OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA was the connectivity and ability to track progress using OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA and Apple Health. Omron Wellness app worked perfect and was super easy to sync & use right out of the box. After 1 week of use it forced me to switch to new Omron Connect app, since then the monitor will no longer successfully sync to my Apple devices. After multiple attempts of unpairing/pairing, when the monitor does connect to my device the new data will not transfer to the Omron Connect app. The Omron Connect app feels cluttered with new features (including functions with Apple Watch) that require a “Premium” subscription that I would be excited to try if the basic functionality held up to expectations. I’m disappointed with this experience. I could just manually enter the data... but that’s not what I paid for and not interested in paying more in the hopes that it will all work out. I intend to seek a refund and explore other options.

by Oooogala Boooogala

The device works just fine, takes BP readings accurately and all that. But OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA is total garbage. How is a Bluetooth device this difficult to pair and transfer data with in this day and age? It feels like technology from 2005. My device is on, OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA is on . . . I must have 30 other Bluetooth devices that set up in second and pair and communicate with each other seamlessly and automatically all day, everyday.

This thing? It’s just unbelievably bad. “Put the device in pairing mode” to transfer the data? Is this the dark ages? And then it won’t connect or transfer any data most of the time. OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA is abject garbage and the company should be embarrassed to have this out in public. I mean, this is a medical device and this is the best you can do? Unforgivable really. Terrible in every way.

My doctor told me OMRON makes the best BP monitors, so I got one. And the monitor itself may be great, I certainly can’t say one way or the other. But don’t buy one for the connectivity features. They don’t work well at all. They need to go out and hire a 20 year old college kid who knows how to build a real, functional app. This one is terrible.

by Gai-jin

This is a complete disaster, I will never buy another Omron product ever.
The old program worked perfectly without any problems OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA is totally unacceptable. It’s a piece of junk that they’re trying to charge for when all you need is your readings.
The goal here is to get a lot of people sending a lot of money every month. Take your program, take your blood pressure monitor and put it in the junkyard. I will not even give this monitor away I will put a nail through it. Do yourself a favor and find a much user-friendly blood pressure monitor. I can’t believe they took a good product but I had high acceptance and completely changed it into the garbage.

Also I had purchased the Omron ultrasonic nebulizer, it was promised that it would cut the time required to take a treatment. It turned out it took longer than using the old-style compressor nebulizers. After getting rid of that piece of junk. I found the Phillips ultrasonic nebulizer. What A amazing difference. Taking the treatment by Omron from over one hour to now under five minutes. Omron used to be a leader in these products but no longer it has become greedy and no longer a company to consider for good consumer health products.

by Aunt 3 C's

I upgraded when the update came out but it wanted personal information that I wasn’t willing to share. So I ignore the further notices of upgrades. Now my monitor would no longer record my data so I was forced to download the stupid new app. The screen is more difficult to read. I have recorded my BP 3 times but all my previous data is no longer there which it stated would not be lost. I paid for this Onrom BP MONITOR. NOW I AN SUPPOSED TO PAY A MONTHLY FEE FOR WHAT CAME WITH MY MONITOR. I need my previous months data for my cardiologist. It is not there. This has been such a waste. A money making scheme for OMRON. This is a comple waste of money. I no longer have my medical data which was clear and concise and pertinent to my medical treatment. I had loved the blue tooth connection between my monitor and phone, the ability to print out my data and take to dr. Now I have to track on paper!! What a rip off. Don’t upgrade. For its current usefulness this costly device will end in the trash as I will get tired of recording pencil and paper data. I cannot express my frustration and anger with this company who had a most useful, efficient and appreciated product. Why would this company ruin a good product that I owned and now can no longer use. I will never get another OMRON product.

by MusclecarManiac

As many reviewers have stated: this “upgrade” from the OMRONWellness app is everything but an upgrade. I liked the way the old app charts were presented (i.e. I prefer the line graph connecting the data points over just plotting the data points). I dislike the bombardment of nags to upgrade to the premium (subscription based) version of OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA . I also dislike the nags to get the ekg device, which I have no need or desire for. In addition, I have more trouble connecting/download bp data from my monitor, in the few months I’ve been using OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA, than I had in the several years I used the OMRONWellness app. Honestly, I’d like the Wellness app back, but sadly there is no way to transfer your bp data history back to the old app - it’s a one-way trip for your history. You can’t just stop using the new app and resume using the old one because, when you log into the old app, it gives you a message stating you’ve been migrated over to the new app and it won’t let you use the old one. The only thing about the new app that I like is when you are using TrueRead on your monitor and you click on your readings in OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA , it labels each of the 3 readings: “1st recording, 2nd recording, etc. The old app didn’t label the recording order, so it left you to guess the recording order.

by Man, Myth, Legend

As other reviewer‘s have noted, this new app is a complete disaster. It does not perform the basic functions that it is supposed to. For about a year, I have use the old app, OmronWellness. OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA did exactly what I expected it to: retrieve my blood pressure data via Bluetooth and sync it with apple health. After getting repeat messages to upgrade to the new OMRON connect, I finally decided to download and install OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA. What a mistake. Although OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA still retrieves my blood pressure via Bluetooth, it is incapable of sinking with Apple health. I have tried to set the permissions in apple health, and I have allowed OMRON connect to sync data with apple health. I went in to the OMRON connect app and attempted to find some settings to allow it to sink with Apple health. The only menu item simply directed me to set the permissions and apple health, which I had already done. I went so far as to contact Omron, and I let them know about the problem. Their response was simply tell me to do what I had already done, i.e. set the permissions correctly Apple health. And they said that if that did not work I should contact Apple. Really!?!? It’s unclear to me how you can go from a functioning app, OmronWellness, to a nonfunctioning app, OMRONConnect. If you have not upgraded to OMRONConnect, don’t do it. If you were thinking about buying and Omron blood pressure monitor, go with a different manufacturer.

by Mateo727

This is a great app but it needs some serious intuitive improvements. The graphing of BP results could be much improved. For instance when I pull up a range of blood pressures to view the graph parameters remain vary wide instead of auto shrinking or increasing the range so you have a better visual of your specific readings. Also you should be able to either pull up a range of dates of you choosing or at least when selecting month or week or year it should choose a month of data not just the last three days because it’s the beginning of a new month. If I want to see how my BP has changed over a year I can’t because it’s January and I’ll only get January. Not useful. Also why do I have to go to my profile to change my weight. Why can’t I add that in weight screen like manual BP entry. Lastly the help button just gets you a “oops something went wrong” splash screen then it defaults back to the BP reading screen. Every time. I still recommend OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA but for crying out loud make it more useful. Thanks

by Athlete Girl

UPDATE: After few days of using the unit it no longer uploads the data to OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA via Bluetooth. I tried rebooting my phone which didn’t work. I’ve been continually trying to sync the data to OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA for for last two days but nothing works. The unit itself works great and I like the true reading feature but the transfer is simply not happening. Getting discouraged.

Recently my blood pressure has been a little high so I researched BP monitors I could get to track it that were also comparable with my iPhone XS Max. After reading all the reviews I almost didn’t get the OMRON 10 series wireless Bluetooth but I am so glad I did! The set up was pretty easy. It took couple of tries so I can see how some people might be discouraged by that. Also, the monitor transfers my data to OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA (again, it takes about 3-5 times me pressing the transfer data button but it transfer each time). I tried creating the report and that worked flawlessly. I understand that some of the bugs people complained about might’ve been already addressed so my experience with OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA might be better. Overall, I’m very happy I didn’t listen to the reviews and got the monitor and the OMRON connect app.

I am very happy with my monitor. It is very compact and the readings are right there on the cuff. OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA , on the other hand, ought to sync more easily than it does. For example, I had a fit bit device years ago that effortlessly updated on my phone without me having to do anything. With OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA, It is a bit of an ordeal to transfer information from the cuff to OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA . Most of the time, I get notified that the transfer failed even though the BP readings are uploaded. There also should be a provision to annotate individual readings with observations of extenuating reasons to better understand why the reading at that particular time was what it was.
After purchasing the cuff, I learned that my health insurance provider, CIGNA, has some extra connectivity with the iHealth line of BP monitoring devices and app. Had I known that, I would have looked into buying that brand instead.

So I bought a 7 series wrist cuff for an elderly relative. I had gotten tired of reading multiple logs of BP, so the idea of smart phone logging is an important function for me.

Sometimes the wrist cuff has trouble connecting to the iPhone. The cuff usually will usually allow download right after it finishes taking a reading.

Sometime the sync button on the cuff is necessary. Occasionally it will still sync even after the cuff has been turn of recently.

Once in a while it syncs very slow or takes a second try.

The main thing I like is OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA makes a CSV file. That is easy to read or transfer. I do find it petty to make the graphic chart Summary Report a premium feature, the other premium features are of no value to me.

It would be nice if OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA would show if the reading of the device was taken with it in the right hight relative to the heart. The cuff only gives a few seconds to move the cuff into position before starting. From OMRONconnectUSCANEMEA I do not see how to tell if the cuff was too low, too high, or just right.

I was concerned about the reviews saying this wasn’t working. So I downloaded the Wellness app instead, especially since it listed my 7 Series (BP761N) and this Connect app did not. Upon trying to create an account the Wellness app popped up a screen that said a new app was available and would not let me go any further. So I decided to delete the Wellness app and chance the downloading of Connect. I created my account and was working with Apple Health without issue. I would like to also point out this was my first time using Apple Heath and a wireless BP tracker and had no issues. I know it’s un-American, but by reading/following the instructions I had no issues. I would say whatever was wrong was corrected. I do wish that the graph had an option for line graphs as well as scatter graph.
