Now I have this blood pressure monitor device that doesn’t work without a logged in app and is a paperweight. I’m lucky I never invested into their ecosystem of health products. Lesson is no matter how popular a brand is, there is no guarantee they will be around. I’ve lost all my health data and there is no way to get it back.
Businesses like having an app on your phone because they can update it to fix bugs, add features, track your activity and send you notifications/ads when they have something new to sell.
