### 3/5 — deletes measurement each time

*2025-02-12, version 2.9.12*

every time i use it it shows blips on the graph and numbers as an estimate then it quits with 0bpm. after six attempts i got interrupted by an ad to buy different heartrate software even though i already paid for this one. disappointing.

### 4/5 — Хорошее было приложение

*2023-02-01*

но сейчас не работает на Ipad, просьба к разработчикам проверить

### 2/5 — Pas pour iPhone 8+

*2022-01-31*

Depuis que je suis passé sur iPhone 8+, l’application contrairement à d’autres fonctionne avec l’objectif grand angle, or sur les Phone au format +PLUS  c’est le téléobjectif qui se trouve à proximité du Flash. En conséquence l’objectif Grand Angle trop loin du Flash reçoit trop peu de lumière pour prendre la mesure et échoue trop de fois. 
Il faudrait une mise à jour pour les iPhone +PLUS (je ne sais pas ce qui l’en est pour les iPhone X et ultérieurs au format Pro et Max) afin d’opérer à partir du téléobjectif comme le font vos concurrents,
Dommage sur mes précédents iPhone c’était l’application que j’utilisais pour la mesure du rythme cardiaque.

### 2/5 — Has Ads

*2021-05-25, version 2.9.12*

I paid for the app, yet it shows an advert overlay every time I open the app. It’s a one tap dismiss, but still. At least offer an ad-free upgrade as an in-app purchase.

### 4/5 — Appli simple et efficace

*2020-11-14*

Mais j’ai perdu mes données quand j’ai changé de téléphone. Dommage !

### 5/5 — 다양한 컬러

*2020-10-25*

단순하지만 좋습니다..!! 우선 디자인을 업그레이드 되어야하고 다양한 컬러가 필요하다고 생각 함..!!

### 5/5 — Спасибо разработчикам.

*2020-10-14*

Очень удобное приложение. Частоту сердечного ритма считает на 5.

### 5/5 — 好用

*2020-08-17*

苹果手机这款测心率软件最好用

### 3/5 — Fake graph

*2020-07-30*

Pulse number is probably correct but the waveform is a phony animation lol that has nothing to do with the camera’s flash whereas cardiio waveform actually relates to changes in blood flow.

### 5/5 — 👍🏻

*2020-07-20, version 2.9.12*

Simple and yet accurate app
Thank you

### 5/5 — Muito bom

*2020-07-06*

Já comparei resultados com outros
equipamentos e deu certo

### 5/5 — Super

*2020-05-20, version 2.9.12*

It works!!!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-04-15, version 2.9.12*

Awful. Tried several times.  No reading at all

### 1/5 — High

*2024-05-08, version 2.9.12*

Reads 20-30 higher heart rate than actual. Used BP Cuff to get actual heart rate. Not worth the 99cent I paid.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2024-04-16, version 2.9.12*

Don’t waste your time on this.

### 1/5 — 啥烂东西就莫名其秒扣费了？

*2023-02-09*

就瞎扣费呢？

### 1/5 — 整脈しか記録できない

*2021-12-19*

不整脈を記録したかったが、心拍が乱れると数値のカウントができないため、記録を残せない。

### 1/5 — Parou de Funcionar!

*2021-08-01*

Creio que era o melhor App de todos, mas parou de ascender o flash propositalmente na última atualização.

### 1/5 — Not a happy camper

*2021-03-06, version 2.9.12*

This doesn’t work. I paid for it and it never has worked consistently. When you pay for something, I expect  it to work !

### 1/5 — Will not show arrhythmias!

*2020-08-26*

App will only record a regular rhythm. This is not beneficial if trying to document issues to show your physician. Only gives you a 0 for rate and no rhythm strip. Needs button to allow you to accept strip if not perfect regular heart rate.

### 1/5 — Does work anymore

*2020-03-06, version 2.9.12*

I lord this and it worked for literally four days. Them suddenly no matter what I do it doesn’t seem to work. Bummer

### 1/5 — Неудобно

*2020-01-25*

Почему нет интеграции с Apple Watch?

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Неплохое приложение

*2026-05-12*

Сейчас у меня iPhone 16 и стало неудобно приложением пользоваться. На iPhone 17 я думаю стало совсем не возможно тк расположение камер сменилось. На версиях PRO MAX тоже не получится😉

### 5/5 — 非常好

*2023-01-05*

用了十多年了，最朴素实用的一款

### 5/5 — Danh Gia

*2022-12-28, version 2.9.12*

Very good

### 5/5 — Cardiograph

*2021-10-31*

This App worked very easy on pre-iPhone 13. I was stumped at first and then found the App works very well with one of the new photo lenses. You will have to move your finger around until you find the correct lens.

### 5/5 — Good

*2021-09-09, version 2.9.12*

It’s what I need!

### 5/5 — 심장병 환자에겐 필수 아이템

*2021-06-10*

전 부정맥 환자인데 부정맥이 가끔 올때 재보고 이상하면 그 다음 조치를 취할 수 있어서 아주 오래전 부터 유용하게 쓰고 있어요. 심장병 환자분들은 쓰시면 좋아요. 심플하지만 정확히 잘 측정되서 좋네요.

### 5/5 — 👍⏱

*2021-05-28*

Кардиограф точен как швейцарские часы ,сравнивал с настоящим тонометром разница 1📈📉пульс😆

### 5/5 — The best design! It stands out!

*2021-04-26*

Really hate the flat design. This skeuomorphic design is outstanding, keep it alive!

### 5/5 — DEACON

*2021-03-07, version 2.9.12*

👍 good app to have on your phone

### 5/5 — EXCELENTE

*2021-03-07*

muito preciso!!!
