Dangerously misleading

I ran a series of tests on this app’ comparing its results with a another, heart rate app’ that I have used for over 10 years - and has proven accuracy. I also compared with ECG readings at the same time. This app’ consistently showed rates typically 20% below the figure from the other 2 sources taken within minutes of each other.
Further, I removed my finger from the lens 5 seconds into the reading and this app’ carried on for the full session and produced a “result”!
So, ditch this one, it’s a dangerous excuse to subject you to unwanted advertising.

Not worth it

I got this to just see, I laid it down flat & hit start, did not move phone etc, basically it said my heart was going fast, don’t get this, so not worth it....

no value

doesn’t work (60 bpm post sprint 3x); makes you sit through ads, waste of time

What’s with the ads?

Unusable. Immediately throws you into ridiculous cartoon ads. Stay away.

Don’t buy: erratic & inaccurate
