I’ve been looking for a breast pump recently - I’d like electric so I don’t have to manually pump. All of the ones I could find in the shop required an app to connect to the device. Why? What purpose does that serve me? I’d have to make an account, accept needless permissions and cookies and give them access to very personal data about my boobs and milk production - I went with a manual one instead
Any device that requires an app to function is an immediate deal breaker for me. Same for most things that require “the cloud” to work. Garage door openers, doorbell or other cameras, cooking appliances, door locks, cars, even a basic pedometer to name a few. All of these things will only work temporarily until the company decides it’s end of life for any reason.

The spectra is both the highest rated and it doesn’t use an app. We have the one with the battery and it is so so convenient and easy to use.
I’m guessing so the Republicans can punish you for being reproductive in an unapproved way? Is why they require attaching to the internet?
Have you checked out Medela, we used one of those a couple years back and there was no app involved. No data collection, just plug it in and go.
