Masimo Personal Health

The app seems to have been released a tad too soon and has a number of bugs that would seem easy to fix. The Edit function available in History does not seem to do anything, unless what is actually intended is a Select functionality. Tapping the Share as CSV button shows the usual options but the cancel button is non-functional. Why not provide a trend graphic longer than a few beats? The Y scale can be tweaked but the time scale cannot. The app has no option for working in the background and if one wants to save the data when taking a measurement one has to wake up the app as well. Not very convenient when working out.

Syncs to Training Peaks and Apple Health. Reliable syncing to Training Peaks but hit or miss on Apple sync. Would be great if all data sets would sync with TP and not just HR and Spo2. Not disappointed with the device but software sure could use some attention. Fix the syncing, add option to include all data set to TP, add rotation option to go landscape/portrait on IPad and iPhone.

I purchased a Masimo pulse oximeter for use with my iPhone in 2013 for $250. I liked it a lot. The app allowed me to do long continuous recordings and I could see a reasonable tracing by turning my phone sideways. Now, I find the app I can use has been “dumbed down”: it shows a poor quality tracing only with phone upright, so you can only see a few beats. I’ve discovered the good version of the app (this one) still exists but it no longer works with my device. I would have to spend another $300 to buy a MightSatRx to get the features I previously had with my $250 purchase. Apparently there’s an “Rx” wired version that also works with the good app (“Pro”) but I haven’t been able to find that one for sale. Not that I want to buy another $250 device just to get the same features that I used to have with my prior purchase. This is extremely aggravating! I feel that early adopters of this device should have been given continued access to the good, not “dumbed down”, version of the app, instead of having functionality stripped away because you decided to release a new version of the device.
