### 5/5 — Пользуюсь, надёжный

*2025-11-03*

Отличное приложение , нужные показатели , замеры делает лучше других на мой взгляд и без лишней ерунды. Спасибо Сергей!

### 1/5 — No

*2024-10-07*

Isn’t accurate at all ever

### 3/5 — Ok

*2024-06-03*

This app is ok. It is somewhat inconsistent at times.

### 1/5 — Readings are way off

*2023-03-07, version 2.98.2*

I can get 48 and 80 in two consecutive readings.

### 1/5 — Results not accurate

*2023-01-26, version 2.98.2*

The results are out to lunch. It keeps measuring around 45 to 50. If I take it manually it’s actually 80 bpm. Do not rely on this app. I tried several times over 2 days. It never got even close, ands it’s never out by the same amount. I certainly wouldn’t buy it until it’s fixed. I have an iPhone 11 standard.

### 1/5 — Inundated with advertisements- even with the paid version

*2021-07-15*

Very annoying that there are 3 separate advert banners on this app which are impossible to remove. I had the paid version so I did not expect to have to suffer this. Have cancelled the app

### 5/5 — It seems to work

*2021-05-12, version 2.75*

Yeah no it seems to be working pretty well

### 1/5 — Useless

*2021-02-18*

This doesn’t do anything

### 1/5 — No

*2020-12-06, version 2.6.6*

No and they will bill you

### 1/5 — No!!

*2020-09-13*

If this is true what I saw, I need open heart. I am an retired Paramedic. Not worth it
