### 1/5 — Piece of garbage

*2015-12-11, version 2.0*

And it's free! With ads you don't want. If you purchase the pro version only to find it worse than the one with the stupid ads then the app is a huge rip off because you are paying only to find out that the app you pay with the ridiculous price tag  is the company's attempt to rob and defraud you. So try out the free version first, but with an added word of warning: don't be tempted to buy the pro version or you may end up paying more than what you currently have in your wallet. So please don't fall for this useless gimmick.

### 5/5 — Try & Buy

*2015-09-20, version 1.1.1*

I have tried a few of these heart rate apps and this one  has a nice interface and seems relatively accurate. Unlocking the features might be a worthy upgrade. A must try!
