MyCareLink Heart Customer Insights

1. Otherwise, I must charge my phone 2 to 3 times per day or consider the bedside "box", which I do not want.Doesn't tell you a thing and you hope they are watching if you actually need them because it doesn't give you a single warning when its needed most! My watch has better tech and with no need to embed it under my skin.

2. There is an optional accessory I can use to report symptoms but I still need to carry that around.I had to purchase a new phone since my other one was no longer charging.

3. It is very frustrating and unfortunate that a brand new phone (S22 Ultra) with the latest technology is not supported/compatible with this application especially since the linq is a life changing/saving device for me.

4. 4.1.0. The fix I have for the freezing problem after you open the app is: Go to your phone Settings > Apps > MCL Heart > Storage, then clear CACHE and RESTART your phone.

5. I do wish that the various other bits of info, like symptoms would be forwarded with the transmission so the the Doc could inspect specific times that I may have had Chest pain, shortness of breath or other issues.

6. Its simply put, a tracking device!It's unfortunate that this app targets specific phone models instead of an Android OS version.

7. You have an advanced piece of cardiac technology, but you can't figure out how to make an app compatible? How many of us is it going to take to complain before you actually DO SOMETHING about it???This app is only marginally useful in that it does transmit data to my EP.

8. Laziness in my opinion and on such an advanced device that requires extra battery and location services active.

9. I have to do it every day...! I only use the app once in the AM to check my "Activity" any "Messages", which are triggered only when the pacemaker sends its report to the clinic every 90 days and to check battery status.

10. The monitor installed in a minute but after the initial reading of data manually, it does not say if it will be done remotely after that.

11. Luckily I had an iPad that works in place of the phone.
