Leave a Review Camera Heart Rate Variability
Heart rate needs work
I couldn’t get an accurate heart rate reading...not even close. Kind of a waste of money. I would recommend offering the app for free while you make your algorithms more accurate.janry 2
Absolutely worthless
Readings for hrv never recorded or available so a complete waste of moneyCritic's Critic
Wish they had try before you buy.
Once it worked, every time after that it said that there is a data signal quality problem. I suspect it may not like my heart rhythm. Either way it is worthless to me. It also gives no advice on what your values mean.Ton62
What does it mean
I have no idea what any of the numbers mean. There needs to be more information about what are bad/normal/good readings.Shaguarwa
I want to love it...
I was excited to hear about the accuracy of this app, especially for the cost and ability to use my iPhone to measure HRV. However, no matter what I've tried, the HRV seems very difficult to measure. I tried 12 times and followed the directions provided by the developer on the website and it still won't work. I feel I have wasted my time and money trying to get it to work, which has probably changed my HRV in the morning due to frustration (try as I might not to become annoyed). I think trouble shooting advice should be part of the FAQ - otherwise I have to search a blog not only to figure out how to get an accurate reading but also to learn how to interpret the data. I'm sure the companion tracking app helps with that, but not if the program cannot calculate my HRV.Show lessJussa0026
Didn't work
I just kept telling me "HRV not computed due to low signal quality". I kept my finger over the camera as it instructed.Kevin9374
Seems to be great, but
Seems to work well and sooo much nicer than having to put on my chest bluetooth monitor. But I can't figure out most of what is measured and shown - app is in desperate need of help buttons on each screen to explain what its showing.
I first learned of HRV at the Mayo clinic as they used a breathing app that they tuned for me, while having me hooked up to a bunch of sensors like skin temp, but key was that they tracked my breathing relative to my heart frequency to get them to track, without the breathing app my reading were totaly out of sync while i tried to relax. Then on the first redo with the app guiding when i breath in, hold, breath out, hold to total about 10second loops my readings were tracking very well, little more fine tuning to find what they called my resonant freq and i had app setting to use to calm down my body. So figured this app would be good to monitor the progress, but unfortunately it was not as simple to see as mayo setup that super imposed a breathing graph on too of the hrv graph. I really want give this app 5 stars, but can't make heads or tails of most of the data so have it a generous 4, hoping this changes soon as there is real genius in the app and its camera usage model, and would totally merit 5 if it can help the average person use its data to improve calmness,...Show lessE1D1
Decent App
Downloaded this to hopefully help my run training. The app works well, but I found it needs to be really quiet.
In retrospect, I probably should have bought HRV4 Training since I'm not always sure how to interpret the data.Pharm25
Doesn't work at all.
Finger should only be over the camera and not over the LED or you will not get a lock. This is different from other apps that use the camera to obtain HR so I thought it was worth noting.
The UI is really rough around the edges. The biggest issue right now is that the app assumes it gets to use the full screen and does not account for the pixels required by the status bar. As such, content at the bottom of the screen (And this includes user interface components such as buttons) falls off the bottom of the screen.
I feel a lot more could be done with regards to formatting and presentation of data to improve the user experience of this app.Show lesslogic7
User friendly
I like the added picture to show the camera is completely covered.
I'm still trying to determine how best to incorporate it clinically.Jggoodfe
