Heart rate
I find this app is good for checking your heart rate. So far I have not been asked to pay any monthly fees
What a great app
First class app
π Not that good
Ok I thought Iβd try this app and see if it really is that good
π NO !!
My BP varied according to distant I held the camera
From as low as 49 holding the camera at arms length to 90 at 4β away
Other readings varied from 69 to 84
So itβs not as good as some have said
Arms length it had trouble completing the measurement
It even a couple of times started completely over
The pop up about looking at the screen was popping up as well
The reading I got was too vague to true it to be accurate
One review said it was better then the watch but I did a read on my Gen 3 watch and 2 other bp apps and the 3 of them were more close in reads
So this app could use some tweaking on the reading part
Going to watch and see if it gets tweaked or not before I make a final decision whether to keep or delete

Heart rate monitor
Iβm happy to get this application at no charge.
I have recently received a pacemaker so monitoring my heart rate is important.
Iβm not sure how accurately this is β¦. Iβve found fluctuations in readings β¦. I will continue to use it
though

Very inconsistent readings
I was hoping this app would be useful for my workouts, being the rare pulse app that will sync to Apple Health without needing to pay a subscription. Unfortunately, its readings are frequently inaccurate and extremely inconsistent. It routinely gives a reading that is clearly about half the actual pulse rate, and varies wildly in successive readings. I generally make sure of two or more consistent readings in a row before saving it to Health.
It also is extremely sensitive to conditions interfering with readings. Even when I brace both the phone and myself against something solid and unmoving, it still often takes twenty seconds or more to return a reading.
Itβs not entirely useless, so Iβm not giving it only one star. It is free, and it does work when it works. But it needs a lot of improvement.

Works welll and accurate

Inaccurate
Clever idea but results vary by 10% from one measurement to the next. Itβs also varying by 10% from Heart Rate which use the camera and the inbuilt flash to illuminate the finger. With such variation the app is effectively useless for me.
Stupidly Easy
I downloaded the app, it told me to look at my camera & sit still, then reported my BPM within seconds. As one who monitors their heart rate regularly, it deserves me taking the time to give a 5 star review, AFAIC! π
Incredible
It matches within 2 beats of my manual heart rate timing. There literally isnβt anything better. Iβm actually blown away
