BP Logger

BP Logger is an app that allows you to keep track of your blood pressure by logging it in a file in Google Drive.
To use BP Logger, you must first sign in with Google. Then, it will use your Google account to access your Google Drive (with your permission).
After which it will add the date and time, and your systolic and diastolic values to a Google Sheets file when you input them.

Installing

Currently, BP Logger is not available on any app stores, and has to be sideloaded. Because of this, you cannot automatically update the app, you will have to manually check if there is a new version available.

Alternatively, you can add the website to your homescreen, but it will be laggier than the app.

Android

  1. Go to the latest release
  2. Download the file called bp_logger_version.apk, make sure the file ends in apk
  3. Some browsers might warn you that apks may be dangerous, you safely can ignore this warning. If you're skeptical, feel free to read through the source code.
  4. Open the downloaded file to install it

iOS

The easiest way to sideload on iOS is using the AltStore. You will need a PC or Mac to use AltStore.

  1. Follow the instructions on AltStore's website, make sure you have the AltStore app on your iPhone
  2. Go to the latest release
  3. Download the file called bp_logger_version.ipa, make sure the file ends in ipa
  4. Go to the Apps page in the AltStore app and click the add icon in the top left
  5. Choose the ipa file you just downloaded, it should start installing
  6. As long as your iPhone is connects to your computer (even wirelessly) at least once a week, it should continue to work

You can also use a variety of other methods to install ipa files, such as Install on Air.
You can also build from source and install to your iPhone using Xcode on a Mac as seen below. However this will only last for a week before needing a rebuild.
