iBP Blood Pressure Category: Health Care and Fitness
iBP is a user friendly blood pressure tracking and analysis tool. Your blood pressure values can be easily entered along with your pulse, weight, and notes. Color icons are used to show when values are normal, high, or hypertension allowing you to focus on your status instead of numbers. iBP provides interactive color graphs that allow you to display your values by time frame (week, months, year) and time of day. Version 1.1 (released 2/25/09) Initial release Version 1.2 (released 3/7/09) Expanded the ranges for systolic, diastolic, pulse, and weight Modified the graph to display readings lower than 50 Made it easier to enter historical data by not resetting the date picker to current date when adding multiple readings Version 1.3 (released 3/31/09) Added a time based graph Added a snapshot button to the graph that saves the graph to the Photo album where it can be viewed and emailed Fixed time of day filtering for the Summary and Graphs when using the 24 hour clock setting Faster Summary stats calculations Improved memory usage Version 1.4 (released 4/14/09) Changed the date format to use the iPhone Region and Time settings Added a CSV format option for email Fixed the Time Graph date locations when filtering by months Version 1.5 (released 4/23/09) Split status icons on main window to show individual systolic and diastolic status instead of a combined status Updated the date chooser to not display some historical dates as gray Added a fix for the Email issue that randomly shows up Version 1.6 (released 5/8/09) Added a rotation capability to the Time Graph for viewing in landscape mode Expanded the Time Graph filtering to six months Expanded the weight range to allow lower weights specified in Kilograms (kg) Version 1.7 (released 5/19/09) Added a settings bundle for user configurable color ranges Added another email fix for the issue below Lowered weight and pulse starting values to zero to indicate unknown or N/A Removed the word Note: on the main window when the note is empty Removed red lines from Time Graph Version 1.8 (released 5/27/09) Initialized color range settings to default values Fixed Time Graph landscape snapshot Version 1.9 (released 6/19/09) Fixed diastolic color range, red was off by 1 Added red lines to Time Graph with setting Added pulse to Time Graph with setting Added a scale to readings feature to Time Graph with setting Scale to readings will automatically change the scale of the Time Graph instead of always using 0 to 200. This gives better separation of the data points. Version 1.10 (released 7/29/09) Upgraded to the new Email interface in OS 3.0 that allows emails to be sent directly from iBP instead of invoking the Email tool Added a confirmation prompt to the Cancel button on the Add/Edit Reading view when changes are made Increased pulse maximum to 200 Implemented my own date sorting algorithm because I think the Apple one has a bug that causes readings to disappear when entering historical data Version 1.11 (released 8/30/09) Fixed some things that changed in OS 3.0 that can cause iBP to crash. Version 1.12 (released 12/9/08) Added multiple users capability Added CSV email restore capability to the Summary view Added a settings button to the Time Graph that allows the graph settings to be changed directly from iBP Improved auto-scaling (Scale to Readings) of Time Graph Added more horizontal grid lines to Time Graph Improved start up speed by not pre-allocating strings for the Add/Edit Reading dials. Added a button to Info view to contact me by email Upgraded to OS 3.1.2 Known Issues Sometimes new readings do not appear in the Main view after pressing the Save button on the Add view. Reboot your device by holding down the Home and Sleep buttons until you see a white Apple logo. I have seen this one time and several have mentioned it, but I am unable to recreate it. It usually happens after installing or downloading an update. I believe it is an Apple memory issue and when memory gets low unpredictable things happen. Rebooting you device clears up all the fragmented memory and fixes the problem. I was testing with 1700 readings and noticed that iBP crashes from Low Memory if you try to send all the readings in Full text format. If you have more than 1500 readings, please do not try to send all of them in Full text format until I can find a way to handle it. Please make sure to sync your device with iTunes before downloading any updates. You should do this before updating any application that stores data you entered. There is a problem that rarely occurs where the update will delete the saved data. It has happened to one person using iBP and there are several reports of it happening to other applications on the developer forums.
