Does SmartBP measure blood pressure?
No. SmartBP allows you to record, track and analyze trends in your blood pressure. You can either manually enter your records or use a blood pressure monitor to sync with SmartBP through Apple Health or a SmartBP® connected Blood Pressure Monitor. SmartBP alone does not measure blood pressure. You need a separate blood pressure monitor to measure blood pressure. Make sure that the blood pressure monitor you select meets your country's regulatory requirements (e.g. US FDA, EU MDR, etc.).
Is SmartBP free?
Yes. You can download SmartBP for free on both Apple and Android devices. You can upgrade to premium version anytime. The premium version requires a subscription and includes features such as Apple Watch integration, Print or Share PDF Reports, iPhone / iPad direct wireless sync, SmartBP Cloud sync, advanced analysis features, import/export files to Dropbox and Google Drive, and of course no Ads.
Can SmartBP sync with wireless blood pressure monitors?
SmartBP can sync with any blood pressure monitor that connects to Apple Health or Google Fit. Here is an example of the data flow is shown below for an Omron blood pressure monitor on an iOS device. The exact data flow depends on your device and its ability to sync with Apple Health.
You can also directly sync your measurements into SmartBP from the A&D Blood Pressure Monitor over Bluetooth.

How do I sync between my iPhone, iPad, Android or any other mobile devices?
There are a couple of ways you can sync between your mobile devices:
Sync through SmartBP Cloud
You can seamlessly sync between all your mobile devices using SmartBP Cloud. This feature is an optional service for premium version users. You can access SmartBP Cloud from the History screen (see screenshot below). Here you can register for a SmartBP Cloud account. Once you are registered, login with your credentials across all your mobile devices where you want to sync your data. For more information on our privacy policy, visit https://www.smartbp.app/privacypolicy
Direct sync between iPhone and iPad through WiFi or Bluetooth without going through Cloud
For users who do not want to share their data in the cloud, we provide an option to sync between iPhone and iPad directly. You should have the premium version of SmartBP running on both devices. After making a purchase on one device, you are NOT charged again for the app on another device. Go to the More section of the SmartBP and select "Restore Purchase". You will only be charged once and not twice. You restore your purchase for free.
First set one device to receive from the more section of the app. Then on the other device, from history screen, select your data and tap on the share icon and select share with nearby iPhone and iPad. See screenshots below for more information.
Note that data needs to be pushed manually each time you want data to sync between these devices. If you want data to automatically sync, SmartBP Cloud is recommended.
I'm unable to save my recordings
After entering your blood pressure measurements, you should tap on done button on the data entry keypad. This takes you to the screen to enter your notes. Here you will find the save button. Pressing this button saves your record. If you do not press the save button, the record does not save. See the red circles in the below screenshot guidance:
I'm unable to find my saved recordings
Are you sure you saved your record (see above "I'm unable to save my recordings")? If you are certain you saved your recordings, go to the History screen and make sure you have selected the "All" tab and make sure there are no filters applied. See the red circles in the below screenshot guidance:
I purchased the premium version but I still see ads and the app has not upgraded
Go to the more section of the app and here select "Restore Purchase". You are not charged again when you restore purchase.
I can't use the SmartBP watch app even though I upgraded to premium
Restart your watch, the SmartBP watch app should automatically upgrade. Make sure you have the premium version of SmartBP running on your phone. If not, go to the more section of the app and here select "Restore Purchase". You are not charged again when you restore purchase.

We offer an optional premium paid service ("SmartBP Cloud Sync") that allows you to back up your Health Data outside your Device and allows you to access this Health Data on multiple devices, including iOS phones, tablets and Android devices. However, enrollment in this service should not be treated as a substitute for regularly taking additional back up of Your Health Data.

Please be aware that despite our best efforts, no data security measures can guarantee 100% security. It is the user's responsibility to regularly backup their data.

Can I modify my records or back date/time?
Yes. You can modify the records, including date, time, notes, tags and blood pressure information. You can change existing records from History screen by tapping on the record and while entering your blood pressure in the home screen, you can back date/time to any desired date/time.
How do I share records?
You can share your records from the History screen. See screenshot below.
How do I import multiple records?
Send a CSV file from the SmartBP app History screen to your e-mail address. Open this CSV file in Excel and add your data to this file (date/time, systolic, diastolic and pulse).
Make sure you format the date/time in m/d/yy h:mm (See screenshot below)
Now drag this file to the files folder on your phone (free) and select the import option from the history page in SmartBP (you will find this option when you tap on the curled arrow in the bottom of the history page).
Another option requires an upgrade but it is much easier and faster to import your records. Add at least one record and then go to History screen, select your data and tap on the cloud option. Here choose export to Google Drive / Dropbox. A folder will be created and a CSV file will be uploaded. Now modify this exported file and populate it with all your data and save it as a separate CSV file in the same folder. Then go back to SmartBP and import the newly created CSV file.
How do I delete a record?
In the History screen, select a record that you want to delete. A thrash bin will appear on top of the screen. Selecting this will delete the record. Note that once you delete a record there is no way of retrieving the record.

How can I support you?

2) Reviews and Ratings: Your 5 star rating and review helps us grow and makes a significant impact for us.
3) Subscribe to the Premium Version: Your subscription keeps us in business and helps us add new features and fix bugs and issues. Yes, we all prefer a one time payment vs. a subscription, but given that software updates to devices, OS versions and 3rd services is dynamic, we need your support to help us build, test and ensure nothing breaks. It's really not possible for us to provide our app for a one time fee and expect us to support the app perpetually as each year there are so many updates to all the underlying software and services and we need to always stay on top of it.
4) Become a beta tester:We are always adding new features, fixing bugs and pushing updates, and sometimes things break. It's not that we didn't test before pushing the updates. We always thoroughly test before pushing any updates. But given, the proliferation of different devices, SW versions, OS versions, language localizations, 3rd party services, etc., things can break for certain users. Therefore, if you sign up to become a beta tester, we can send you builds to identify any issues and ensure that when it is released to the public, it will work. From time to time, we may offer discounts and special offers to beta testers. For example, we are now offering our smart blood pressure monitors for a 20% discount for users who sign up as a beta tester.
5) Tell your doctor, nurse, family and friends about us: If your doctor or nurse sees you are happy with SmartBP, chances are they will ask their patients to use it. Spread the word about us with your friends, family!
