I’ve been using this app for over 4 years, and it has been critical in helping me manage my warfarin dosing. I have an arrangement with my cardiologist whereby I bought a second INR machine, and often test multiple times per week in order to adjust my own dosing. As I test frequently, and only I know what I’m eating, drinking (yes alcohol makes a HUGE impact), and what climates I’m in as I travel, I know my dosing requirements much better than my doctor’s office ever could. And this app, especially with its graphing functions, helps me make sense of it all and create a workable plan. (With this app I can even clearly see a gradual change in my dosing requirements between summer and winter!) I also simultaneously use the “Medisafe” app, which does a great job of alerting me to medication times, including the ability to snooze, easily reschedule, and re-remind me if I miss the dose. This combination of apps is worth 50 stars, and I hope you never stop supporting them!!!

I have been using this app for 6-8 months. I have found it very useful for keeping track of what my INR has been and what dosing adjustments have been made to attempt to keep me in therapeutic range. I really appreciate being able to keep notes. I also really, really appreciate how easy it is to go back in to make changes and corrections! Once I figured out what I was doing, I find it very simple to use. I don’t love the graphs, but I don’t really need to use them, so it has not made much of a difference to me. As I have to do bloodwork weekly to ensure I don’t vary to far from my therapeutic range, it’s great having a simple app to do my tracking with.

This has been a lifesaving application for me. I have a home INR machine and it automatically updates to my physician office. I can refer to the app when I speak to the anti-coag nurse. I like that I’m able to make a note when I’m not therapeutic, remembering what food I may have eaten that has caused me to be up or down. I love to see the statistics that show my INR stability. Great app and worth the investment.
