essential

seems like a great app to have especially if you are anywhere and have complications and by the time you get anywhere to get your readings you’re bag to normal. everyone carries there phone so this app is perfect for us!

Fake

Diz que é gratuito e não é coisa nenhuma, propaganda enganosa

Farsa.

Péssima. Pouquíssimos dias grátis. Depois, ao contrário da propaganda, passa a cobrar. Uma vergonha essas artimanhas. Nada contra pagar, mas mentir nunca cabe.

Free????

Not as advertised. Advertised as a free app, but after downloading it states it’s only free for 3 days!!

Not a free app

The ad says it is a free app, but in order to use it you have to agree with a weekly subscription of $4.99 the first 3 days are free but you better make sure you cancel it the second day or you will be charged another week.

COCOLUCIOUS

THIS IS SO VERY NICE. IT DOES EVERYTHING, I LOVE IT. AND I HOPE OTHER PEOPLES, GET TO USE IT, AND ENJOY IT LIKE I DID.

Mentiroso

Diz ser gratuito e já pede seu cartão de crédito balela

Healthy lifestyle

Just trying to see if it is true about testing the sugar in your blood so I can get it for my son.

False advertising

This app is only for heart rate and that is not accurate

LIES

Great

Love this app looking forward using it love it that tells me about the condition of my heart

Lead-in

Opening graphic says to put your finger on the app to determine blood glucose level, but that's not a feature of this app.

Fake

I downloaded Essential Health Measure on 3-21-25. Today is April,27,2025. I have taken readings every day at different times of the day. Every single reading has been exactly the same for every health test. It is impossible for every single reading to be exactly the same for 36 days. I am going to delete the app as soon as I finish my review I never wanna hear Essential about anything that this company has produced and I’m Give Apple my review exactly like this one.

Misleading

They state the app will “measure “ your blood glucose. It only allows you to record it from another source.

Excelente aplicación

Help need to cancel subscription it is set up twice

Help

Railroaded

I couldn't even start using the app without committing to a three day trial that costs money. I resent being forced to spend money that I don't want to spend, so I deleted the app.

Don’t waste your money

This is a fraud. Once you download it, it doesn’t do anything other than prompt you to download the “pro” version. This is a glorified record keeper for 4.99 per week. It doesn’t NOT measure your blood sugar, blood pressure, oxygen levels. You must obtain them by other means then manually enter the results into the app.

So I tested by eating different foods at the doctor and using one of those arm thingy things and used this to determine if it was the same IT WAS so I tried eating a banana, a orange, and half a muffin and it had the same bpm IT WORKS get this app now!!!!!!!!
