But, there are problems of a different kind:
First you have to know: the meter needs the app every time necessarily to work later to, at the scale that is the case only for the wireless device. Therefore, a functioning app is essentially important, otherwise the device is unusable.
What is the problem?
To 1) to the appliance use at one Android phone you have the pairing with the mobile phone that is a pure Android operation where the app is not yet used. That always works immediately with no problems: you can switch Bluetooth on and Blutdruckmessgeerät and eserscheint immediately in the menu and can be pairing it. So far so good.
2) Now comes the app into play, you go to "My devices" and choose the image of the sphygmomanometer of the app logs and after a short "cooling off period" that no suitable equipment has been paired. There the Android Blootooth menu is then displayed where you can even see the meter been paired. This message I have appointed ca seen 10 times before it worked. Here are some tips: phone reboot, then take out on meter batteries and fooled again.
3) if it went well times already worked the measurement times flawlessly, but you should know that you can measure not initiate in the app that is only possible through the button on the blood pressure monitor, for a Bluetooth connection is assuming.
4) day later I wanted to measure blood pressure again and the app has become unresponsive. The power button on the blood pressure monitor was flashing green and nothing happened. From this number I got out again, after I repeated the point 1)
5) an extra day it happened again, this time the button did not respond, no light, as if the battery was empty. Here I have taken out and measured by the batteries, everything ok, battery back in, and this time the LED came on. Ok, maybe I did the cover for the first time (point 1) is not 100% centered screwed (due to the contacts is very sensitive here).
6) no longer responded the app, press the button, the LED flashes ("breathing") and nothing. On renewing the application once I had no desire, this time I wanted to find an alternative and found out the following: Turn off Bluetooth on the phone, exit app (with the Task Manager), blood pressure monitor off (3sec long until LED off) then Bluetooth on the mobile phone a , wait few seconds, start app, and wait again few seconds and then turn on the meter, only then came the operating window for the measurement.
The device is switched off by the app (by closing the dialogue), if one device on the off button pressed longer you get an error message on the App displayed.
For the failure of the app 2 star deduction, because the App for the blood pressure monitor ensures that your blood pressure rises when I use it!
I also have the balance of Withings, even here there are serious problems with Bluetooth on Android. I use it on Samsung Galaxy S2 with Android 4.1.2.
At Withings: You have a serious problem with the Android app in conjunction with the Bluetooth connection! Governs! (As of 05/03/2015).
Addendum: I understand why slow the meter the automatic mode has (3 measurements in 30s interval). The first measurement is often too high. My old device appears to provide more accurate values.
