If they expand the time line for at least 20 to 30 beats per minute then the reading will be more accurate. ### 3/5 — Doesn't work 80% of time *2026-05-22, version 3.4* When it works it's good but a lot of the time I can't get it to work ### 1/5 — I’m at a loss for words (not in a good way) *2025-12-03, version 3.4* The developer(s) CLEARLY put 0 effort into making it accurate. Embarrassing. I tested my heart rate at resting rate and it said 103, then I did intense choreography to get my heart rate up and rushed to test my rate again. I kid you not it said “-1”. What a joke. ### 2/5 — less is less *2025-11-17, version 3.4* why is my heart rate measured at minus one beat per minute? is this a known fault in the app or is my heart taking time out the regular basis? I can’t figure out how to find the answer. frustrating as I’m sure it is a fault with the technological rather than physiological ### 3/5 — Great! *2025-11-07, version 3.4* This is great as I can do it myself! ### 4/5 — Just a glitch… *2025-11-02, version 3.4* The app is alright but I think there’s a glitch or this is on purpose. I use the monitor to check my BPM but it’s saying -1… and I’m felling all good ### 2/5 — Review of this app second Review *2025-10-27, version 3.4* Just go to your local hospital to see your doctor ### 1/5 — Inaccurate *2025-10-25, version 3.4* Not accurate at all. ### 1/5 — Bruh *2025-10-14, version 3.4* It put my heart rate as -1 three times ### 2/5 — Inaccurate *2025-10-09, version 3.4* It gave me a heartbeat of -1 while I could actively feel my heart beating faster than normal… ### 1/5 — Just fake? *2025-10-06, version 3.4* I put the phone into my pillow and it gave itself heartbeat?? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-08-21, version 3.5* This app does not work on my iPhone 16. i have tried many times to get it working without success. i also tried contacting the developer for assistance without any response. ### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK! *2026-08-02, version 3.4* I downloaded this app today under the 5 days free trial and already cancelled my subscription. I am 58, do not work out at all and just finished weed eating my yard so I decided to check my heart rate. It’s trying to tell me it’s 89 bpm. There’s no way! Anyway, DONT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS APP ### 1/5 — Says that I’m dead *2026-07-22, version 3.4* It gave me a -1 bpm while stud up (hint hint fix your app) ### 1/5 — Over priced *2026-07-10, version 3.4* Reads ok but for the money it doesn’t offer much else. ### 1/5 — Suckers you in *2026-06-09, version 3.4* I was trying to figure out if this was a good app to use or not then all of a sudden I find out that I subscribed. And I can’t figure out how to unsubscribe without paying $39.99 year. What a farce. ### 1/5 — False advertising *2026-03-20, version 3.4* I took a screenshot of the ad to report to Apple. In the ad you claim no external device is needed to measure heart rate, blood pressure and blood sugar among others. However none of those can be measured with this app. It just measures heart rate. There is currently no way to use your iPhone or Apple Watch to measure blood pressure/sugar. ### 1/5 — Not very good *2026-03-08, version 3.4* Way better options out there…not very accurate….not much info on heart rate. The add on instagram very misleading…wish I could get my money back after using it one day. ### 1/5 — This app still charges me after cancellation *2026-01-20, version 3.4* This app is charging my card 2 times already after canceling subscription. Waiting on Apple feedback on this issue ### 1/5 — Do not trust *2025-12-22, version 3.4* If you have genuine concern on monitoring your heart or blood pressure. This is a gimmick. Mine was way higher on an actual blood pressure monitor and needs medicating whilst I was merrily thinking it was ok. ### 1/5 — How this works! *2025-12-13, version 3.4* This app tells you the heart rate based on how much the camera moves on your finger! So what you’re getting is not your actual heart rate. Seriously, try putting your finger on the camera and wiggling it a bit and watch the waves go up and down. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — CORRECTION *2026-08-07, version 3.4* I am quite satisfied with this app. ### 5/5 — Valley *2026-07-22, version 3.4* The ### 5/5 — My heart rate *2026-05-25, version 3.4* I can’t breathe properly and I went to check my heart rate and it is very low ### 5/5 — Yes *2026-05-15, version 3.4* It works good for me. FR :) Thanks ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-03-17, version 3.4* Sooo accu”rate”!! ### 5/5 — Can't tell if it's fake or not *2025-12-14, version 3.4* It seems real but then to actually test it I put it on my arm and it measured so I'm confused ### 5/5 — Heart *2025-11-27, version 3.4* Gives you peace of mind i appreciate it. ### 5/5 — Happy *2025-10-26, version 3.4* This is so good 🐸 ### 5/5 — W *2025-10-19, version 3.4* W ### 5/5 — Free *2025-07-28, version 3.3* Make it all free --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
