Impractical

The adds are overpowering, blocking the screen. Audio advertising then blares out making it impractical to use this in public or discretely.

Review

I often struggle to get a reading for my heart. I may be successful after trying about 5-6 times…. I’m rather disillusioned by the app really.

Good app!

We have been using the app for a few years now and liked it very much. The problem is the app stopped working after the iPhone 17 and iOS 26 came out! We deleted the app and reinstalled it hoping it would work, but we just lost all history instead! The app hasn’t been updated in more than a year, so we are not certain if the developer quit!

FAQ

How does this app measure heart rate?

The app uses your smartphone's camera to measure your heart rate. By placing your fingertip over the camera lens, it detects subtle color changes in your fingertip that correspond to your pulse. An advanced algorithm then processes these changes to calculate your heart rate, similar to how a pulse oximeter works.

What are the key features of this heart rate app?

Key features include fast, continuous, and accurate heart rate measurement using the phone's camera, real-time pulse graphs (PPG), the ability to save unlimited results with tags, daily measurement reminders, and the option to share screenshots. Premium users can also export history to CSV or PDF and back up/restore data.

Is this app a medical device?

No, this app is designed for general fitness and wellness purposes only and should not be used as a medical device or product. For any medical concerns or purposes, it is essential to consult with your doctor or primary care physician.

How do I get the best heart rate readings?

To get accurate readings, hold the tip of your index finger gently over the back camera lens of your phone. Avoid pressing too hard, as this can restrict circulation. Hold your finger still for at least five to ten seconds to allow the app to compute a stable and accurate heart rate.

What is the cost of this app?

The app is free to download and use for basic heart rate monitoring. Users can choose to purchase 'Premium' to remove ads and unlock additional pro features, such as exporting history to CSV or PDF and data backup/restore functionalities.
