Keeps getting better and saves me tons of money

At first I didnt like the changes in this update... I guess just because it was different. Seems like it requires more button clicks and more screens to go through, but now that Ive gotten used to the new format, its fine. I like the new "resting heart rate" feature; Ive used it more than I expected to. And Im so glad the "guest" feature is still there. Sometimes my husband wants to compare his heartbeat to mine, if he thinks something looks wrong with mine (even when the results say "normal).

I love that I can pay a few extra bucks to have a specialist review my reading. Ive used this feature a few times when I couldnt believe the "normal" results because I didnt feel normal. Depending on which service you select, you can get results back in as little as 30 minutes or as much as 24 hours. I usually choose 24 hours because its cheaper. Every time, the professional opinion also comes back as normal "with artifacts" (which apparently means background noise). And sometimes when I start doubting whether this thing actually works or not, sure enough I get an occasional "possible A-fib" reading.

Having this device and app has saved me tons of money over the past year and a half, or so, since I got it. Id have gone to the doctors office so many times during that time if I hadnt had this app reassuring me everything is normal. My heart rarely feels "normal" anymore, but these readings are consistent with the EKGs at the doctor when I go for checkups, so I trust that Im okay even if I dont feel okay. For what its worth, I do have a thryoid condition called Hashimotos that causes palpitations, which might at least be contributing to worries about my heart health. But the bottom line is having this device to check my heart any time, day or night, has provided peace of mind and kept me out of the doctors office a lot.
