New update broke it

Worked fine until latest update. Now it doesn’t give the rm or she numbers- or heart rate. The most important part of this app were the numbers!

Latest version is not so good - what a shame

Firstly - this is the only sensible app that I have ever tried for AFIB detection. There is no other like it … and it deserves big credit for that, and more people should know.

But while I have used this app for several years and found it very helpful - both in the clear information it provides, and for the measurements it achieves, I just found that the latest version is not better, and has a loss of good features:
1. The calculation basis is no longer visible, so there is no longer summary values. This information used to provide a good basis for understanding reliability and accuracy being achieved.
2. The colors used now make the results harder to read. If you click on an entry in the history you get to see slightly more info - possibly the colors being used are hiding this info.
3. I was very happy to pay for the full version, but discovered that this was nothing more than being ad-free.

Improvements needed:
a) return all the statistical data (even if that was by clicking a button to show info)
b) fix the colors to be more readable, and to reveal all info
c) make it possible to share the results in non-Facebook tools (eg. email or other messaging tools)

Please do keep improving this tool… there is none other like it on the market.

And thank you !

Not good

Have tried this off and on for over one year now and while the heartbeat portion is ok the ‘in AFIB’ or not is extremely inaccurate. I tested this recently for 14 days straight and not once did it tell me I was in AFIB. At the same time I was wearing a halter monitor which stated I was in AFIB 100% of the 14 days. Drop this app.

Used to work on my iPhone 6plus.

Used to work on my iPhone 6plus but is useless on my iPhone 11. I paid for this app and should work. Piece of junk now

Bought this hoping it would be better

It is less accurate than free app. And why must you have Facebook to share? Terrible, terrible idea and terrible app.

I have used this app for a while and it works great just have to be careful to hold your finger correctly I've tested against an ecg and it works great the results are not clear because they are overwritten please try to fix because I love the app

Photo A Fib doesn’t work!

A piece of junk and a waste of money!
Will not work on iPhone 8.

Eh

While it may work at detecting AFib it’s ridiculous that you can’t see the actual report once it’s done and you can only share with Facebook. Not everyone has or WANTS Facebook! Refund would be great

GreatApp for quick afib evaluation

People should not compare this app to a real EKG at a physicians office. The fact that it is able to sensr and visually record a irregular heart beat and show erratic beats is great enough an far better than other apps I have used to ser my pulse and afib.

See a doctor for final analysis but use this to determine when and if you should go.

When it works...

When it works it’s good. It is spotty in its ability to detect your pulse. My personal experience is that it’s able to detect it less than half the times you try using it.

It often will detect it and then lose it while it’s in measurement mode. Then, you try again... wait until it’s almost done... then it loses it again. Frustrating. I’m about done with it.
