    Be useful if you could combine the records for several things all in one place eg peak flow, spiro, weight etc, in a similar way that the GB PRO app does for diabetes

      Asthma NZ.. It's a free iPhone app from the iTunes NZ store. It's been developed by the NZ Asthma Federation to try and help teens/younger asthmatics to keep track/record of their asthma symptoms, it also has a built in reminder to tell them when to use their inhaler.. I use it and find it very helpful, can also show to your Dr or even email a report to their office, very clever little app..
