SeizAlarm Reviews

I keep trying to renew my subscription for the month to month payment and it keeps saying that the month to month could not be found. How can I do the month to month payment when it keeps telling me that it can’t be found? I like SeizAlarm. But I can’t wash my hands without it going off, I can’t put my phone in my pocket without it going off, put my phone down, pick up my son or toss and turn in bed. I like that when I actually do need help I can just press a button on my watch. It sends help signals without giving me the option to stop them or without even letting me know that they have been sent. I can’t walk fast without sending off a signal that I am having a seizure. How do I fix that????

So I am a bit confused when it comes to this application and looking at all that it does with in SeizAlarm Store and it’s so called description of SeizAlarm . When you get SeizAlarm , it says that it’s free. When you sign up, you better look at the FinePrint especially those who use voiceover. It informs you that you get a two week free trial of the application and then have to pay for it. Why in the world would you get an app that supposed to be free and then turn around and pay for it? There should be two versions of SeizAlarm . There should be a free version with in app purchases, then there should be a paid version of the application. I am very dissatisfied at what the developer is trying to do. You’re trying to get money for a free app and in the sign-up process you’re basically scamming people. In my opinion, this is not good business. Especially for those who have seizure disorders.

I chose SeizAlarm because it seemed like the best one for tracking seizures overnight. (Many are for monitoring but you have to start the minute when you have an aura, which I don’t have.) Unfortunately the battery would barely make it through an entire night. I would charge to 100% at midnight & wake up at 6am with 8% left & SeizAlarm off.

When I emailed - multiple times!!! - I was told to turn off all background app refresh settings. I was also told to turn off heart rate monitor - which SeizAlarm is supposed to monitor. I was also told to turn off wifi - which was how the gps works, which is also part of SeizAlarm . Doing all that, got me *still* barely 8 hours. And on top of all that, the connection to the phone - part of SeizAlarm - would also drain the phone battery. I woke up a few times with an almost dead watch & an almost dead phone & SeizAlarm off.

The whole point - for me - was sleep monitoring & SeizAlarm couldn’t do it. Honestly I don’t even know if it works. It only ever went off once on its own (not a test) & I was washing my hands. So I don’t know if I ever had a seizure. Did I not or did it not catch it? No idea.

I would not recommend SeizAlarm to anyone. I wish I could give it a better review. I am epileptic, I have an alert service animal but I wanted this as an extra line of security. I have a series 5 Apple Watch and I went to bed with my watch at 73% and I woke up to a dead watch. That pretty much defeats the purpose since mine are nocturnal mostly. Wish I hadn’t shelled out for the whole year because now I am out all that money and I have an app that is basically useless to me. Would not recommend if you want your series 5 to last more than 4 hours with it running. Live and learn don’t pay the year because then you lose a lot more money!!! If you are going to use this for nocturnal seizures DON’T!!!

If you think the very good alarm sounds you configure to play in SeizAlarm will be made on a phone that a parent can monitor, prepare to be disappointed. They play on the watch itself, which your child will be wearing across the house somewhere.

You’ll get a phone call from god knows where, so I hope you don’t screen your calls/texts, or worse, god forbid, accidentally set your phone on silent, or activate sleep mode that turns off notifications.

This does not make any type of emergency or uniquely identifiable sound or alert on the phone itself. We are a still using it—we’ve now invested hundreds of dollars into the hardware, but underwhelmed by this discovery. I’d have thought a push notification would have been sent to the phones of contacts to set off unique unsilencable emergency alerts, at least as an option. That is not the case.

I love SeizAlarm and the peace of mind it brings my family. I wish they did have a choice for a lower motion detection. I have a toddler so constantly moving does constantly trigger the alarm causing me to have to stop and click “false alarm” quite often. I was able to get over that. I understand it may need to be more sensitive than I want just to be safe. My BIG ISSUE lately is the fact that I won’t even have SeizAlarm turned on and it’s notifying the people on my contact list that I had a seizure. It’s happened multiple times. My emergency contacts now know to ask “false alarm?” because this has happened too many times. Great app. Great concept. Just please address this. I don’t want to have to delete it but I’m not willing to pay $15 a month for constant false alarms when SeizAlarm isn’t even turned on.

I just downloaded SeizAlarm so we could keep track of me and incase an actual emergency it would let someone know. After setting up SeizAlarm I was worried about it going off at the wrong time but I decided to give it a chance. I was in the car and the second I moved the alarm went off and I had to quickly disable it cause I didn’t know who it would call and I didn’t want emergency services to show up over using an app. So I automatically deleted it less than 5 seconds. I don’t hate SeizAlarm It’s just not for me cause I wouldn’t want to get in any trouble over using an app and prevent someones life getting saved.

Hello! I am confused when I select “start monitoring” on my Apple watch it tracks it as activity, showing I’ve been standing all night long?! Do I need to click “select monitoring” for it to pick up a seizure? Or can I leave that off so I’m not tracking a “workout” for 8hr while I sleep!? Excited to use this for peace of mind. Diagnosed with epilepsy this week after my first grand mal… I’ve been having auras / partial awareness seizures almost weekly for YEARS now.

Update:

I am no longer using due to activating fitness while monitoring, I track my sleep through my watch so I cannot leave this on or it won’t track my sleep quality, and quite frankly ruins every other metric on the watch (my calories burned is off by 500cal+, my stand hours shows I’ve stood all day, and have been working out all day/while it’s on… this defeats the purpose of an Apple Watch…).

Somehow my watch can perfectly track my sleep (with an app!) without showing as a workout. Why can’t SeizAlarm?!

My wife was skeptical and we were deciding between this and a competitor but so glad we went with this. I bought an Apple Watch specifically to help if I had a seizure alone and the next day I did. My wife was alerted right away and called me and came right home. SeizAlarm and watch give me confidence that is hard to come by with epilepsy. Any doubts that I had that it wouldn’t catch my seizures is gone. Never will I be without it again. It does drain the battery pretty fast but it shows exactly where you are via GPS which is crucial so that will improve with future Apple Watch versions and possibly updates. Thanks this app!!!!!

It’s the best seizure tracking app ever and the only one I use. I love the all of the features but alert feature is awesome and really really helpful when all of the sudden things start happening and you need to notify someone quick! I use it with my Apple Watch and it has been great. I have had to send alerts out a few times and it works amazingly at notifying your loved ones. And if you don’t want to pay for the alert feature, the tracking log is amazing and it’s COMPLETELY FREE!! I even put in my weird new symptom so I can talk to my doc about them Bc I’ll never remember by the appointment. Lol So I put it in my log and then I can tell him what day it was, how long it may have lasted, and remember what happened. The whole set up is just great and it has gotten better with every update. I love you seizure app. Thanks for being my little helper!

I just started having sz 3 weeks ago . Grand mals. It just happened and keeps happening. I found out about SeizAlarm in one of my sz groups on fb and decided to give it a try . It has made it a lot easier for myself , my husband and my daughter. They didn’t want to leave me by myself. The watch has alerted them several times about me having a sz . Yes it does kill the watch battery quickly . I don’t have to wear it at night because I sleep next to my husband . So he feels when I have a sz . They feel better letting me sleep in and not waking me up in the early morning . I just put my watch on when I take my 6am dose of keppra . I’ve had 25 sz in 3 weeks . And 10 in the 2 week trial . We are going to keep it because it gives us a peace of mind . Thanks for this .

I’ve had 14 grand mal seizures in the last 16 years of my 34-year life, which is not too many compared to some of the more unfortunate amongst us. Living with a seizure disorder is not easy—my neurologist looked at me point blank the other day and said, “seizures kill people”— but if you, like me, suffer from a seizure disorder, there are ways to protect yourself.
1) Sleep well. And I mean as much as you can.
2) Exercise. A lot, get your blood moving, more oxygen may cause a fire, but not in your brain.
3) Use the this app app. I’ve been a loyal user for several months now. It’s quite discreet, no one needs to know you use it, and fully automated. I use it with the Apple Watch, which is waterproof so it goes in the shower with me. I really like that it’s on a timer, so you have a minute-and-a-half to turn off any outgoing help messages, before the system kicks in and texts/calls/emails (your choice) anyone on your contact list. There’s also the “get help immediately” button, in case you feel an aura. Honestly, I think people without seizure disorders could use that as a panic button or emergency button, but that’s getting off-topic.
Anyway, thanks this app, not only for me, but for the sense of security it’s given my family too!
Cheers,

I had an embrace/empatica watch stop working without any indication that it had stopped working until I had a seizure. I would never trust *that* product again so I took the jump to get an Apple Watch SPECIFICALLY for SeizAlarm and I have to say it’s the best decision I’ve made. I do need to reach out to support though - had an issue where I couldn’t cancel the alert because the button wasn’t working? But I just want to say for anyone wondering? I basically dropped $500 (that frankly I don’t have the money for - but it’s for my safety and again I would never trust a product that stops working with no indication at all possible to know..) for this and it’s been worth EVERY penny. Thank you to the developers and every good review convincing me that the extremely large purchase was good enough only to have it proven approx a day after with another breakthrough seizure. You guys are amazing!

This has saved my life more than once so far. Once with a series of seizures originally starting as focal aware seizures so SeizAlarm goes off but I can dismiss it but then after around 15-20 I had a tonic clonic and was rushed to hospital. I had a number of tonic clonic seizures in between and was put on diazepam. They found out that after all the seizures that I suffered a minor stroke and that I was positive for Covid. Early detection in general saved me and although it’s tough to recall all other events because of the stroke recovery, it’s helped numerous times.

I have lupus and have also been diagnosed with anti phospholipid syndrome and a number of other rheumatoid diseases. Typically SeizAlarm gives me a good warning by telling me when I’m having focal aware seizures that would normally go unnoticed and would lead to a tonic clonic if I didn’t take more medication or rest for a moment. People had been saying that I would mix words around and not make any sense and I would have this sensations of needing to stare or nod in some situations.

SeizAlarm is AMAZING! I bought SeizAlarm for my son who is non-verbal and has epilepsy. His seizures vary between convulsive to tonic so the heart rate feature is exactly what we needed. SeizAlarm alerts me via phone calls and texts (user defined) to a change in his heart rate, either high or low (user defined limits) and/or convulsive movements recorded on his Apple Watch.
SeizAlarm is peace of mind for every parent whose child has seizures! The cost is more than reasonable for the services it provides! I purchased the whole year as I am that confident that it fit our needs.
Thank you for an amazing app. Here’s to a full nights sleep.

My daughter takes 4 epilepsy medications that keep her convulsions low during seizures however does not stop the actual seizures. Her seizures are caught by the increase in heart rate. SeizAlarm is the only one I have found that reliably alerts me when her heart rate begins to increase at night. We have been able to step in and administer medication for seizures we otherwise would not have known were happening unless we were looking at her at that moment. The Apple 4 watch battery life is lasting 8-9 hours where the series 1 and 2 were only about 4 hours.

I was really excited to get SeizAlarm.
Unfortunately when I turn on the monitor on my watch it does not able to view my home screen. The only thing that will show when I turn my watch up to look at the time is the seizure app screen. I have not been able to fix this issue. The only way to get my Watch to work normally is to turn off the monitor. That kind of defeated the purpose. I like my watch and would like to use it as well as SeizAlarm any feedback would be wonderful
I hate to have to not use it

Our family loves SeizAlarm for our son as it brings a sense of relief for us at night. However, after the recent update, we’ve been having trouble with it going off even when he hasn’t moved at all. Also, the disable manual help request button seems t not be working. I have it turned on, but when I’m swapping his watch with mine, to avoid battery dying, i accidentally press the help now button and it goes off. We didn’t have this issue before.

This is a long review, but I am so fortunate to have this app in my life.

I am a 29 year old with an epilepsy diagnosis that came out of nowhere at the age of 20, with no family history. It was all new to me and my family. I refuse to let it stop me from being independent in every way possible, but I have to rely on certain things like public transportation to get certain necessities and I am often alone at home, at work, or walking outside. I recently moved closer to home, but I lived in New York City for 6 years.

this app offers a sense of security, and utilizing it on my AppleWatch turns it into a potential life saving device. Riding the subway or walking on the streets of Manhattan/Brooklyn have been very dangerous for me with my health concerns, but this product gave me some reassurance that I could alert someone and get help from those around me if necessary.

this app gives me and my family (especially my parents) some relief with the features it offers. It notifies them if I fall or if I’m having a seizure, sending the GPS coordinates, etc. so they know to contact me - which is also a nice check in.

Even though they might not be local, they know where I had an “episode” and they can contact my nearby family/friends to get to me and make sure the emergency services are in the right place too.

It may seem pricey, but in my HONEST opinion, it’s a worthwhile investment to know I can get help if I’m alone and in need.

SeizAlarm really helps me out by making it easy for me to notify my parents when I’m not feeling well and having partial seizures. I’m able to just hit a button and have my parents know I’m not doing well so that they can come give me medicine and watch me. It’s so much easier than having to try to type out a text or go try and find them while having partial seizures. If you get really bad seizures and have people around who assist you when you aren’t doing well I really suggest getting SeizAlarm. It makes it so much easier for people to come help you sooner.
