Apparently, I’m dead

It will not find my pulse. I sit here with my finger completely covering the monitor for five straight minutes and get no heart rate calculated because it can’t find my heartbeat

Nothing new here.

Disappointing to see another whistles and bells app that does little more than measure your pulse and make a few predictions.

Still waiting for my refund

I signed up because the app advertised a 3-day free trial, but I was charged immediately. I cancelled shortly afterward and have now been waiting 10 days for a refund. I’m giving this one star for now, but I’ll update my review if and when the refund is resolved.
