Contact Propeller Support

I downloaded this specifically for the daily asthma forecast so I can have more control over planning my activities around when symptoms will be worse. Based on what the app allowed me to do, you can’t access ANY content unless you have the Propeller device which has to be provided either by a “sponsor” (none available) or through a medical provider - pretty sure that means it costs money. Highly disappointed the description of the app didn’t make that clear (at least to me) and I’ve wasted the time researching, downloading, trying to make it work, and writing this review.

I thought the point of tracking was to try to figure out what’s causing the need for inhalers with asthma and whatnot. Yes, it’s great to be able to check in the app to see the last time I used my inhaler. BUT a major flaw… if it’s being used for studies to see what might be causing issues locally or whatnot, I’d think the Air Quality portion when a dose is taken would be a high priority. I’m not sure why it says the air quality is good where I’m at. Yes, my AQI is good at 43, BUT… local dust levels are purple… Listed as Very high with WebMD allergy and Extreme with AccuWeather. I’m very very sensitive to these levels. The purpose of Propeller just doesn’t seem like it’s doing any justice in the research department if Air Quality is listed as excellent at the time I take a dose, when in fact the dust levels are off the charts.

Please fix it! Definitely a huge flaw in the purpose and use of Propeller!

So far, this is mostly working. The prevention med reminders are nice, and it syncs great. But it’s lowering my score for “nighttime events.” In reality, I’m a night shift worker, so, no, I’m not waking up with symptoms, I’m already awake at 3AM. If I used it at noon, that would be waking up with symptoms. So, it would be great to be able to set a schedule to let it know when I’m typically awake.

It would also be nice to have it disregard scheduled inhalations. My pulmonologist recommends taking a dose of my rescue inhaler immediately before a hard workout, and those are keeping me just out of having a “well-controlled” score.

The data is still useful to my doctor, who does know my schedule, and my exercise usage, but it would be fun to see the score reflect reality.
