### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2025-10-08, version 2.6*

The suggestion is that the app does BP measurement. IT DOES NOT!!  Done waste your money

### 1/5 — Scammers

*2025-09-15, version 2.6*

I got this app on a three day trial and once I tried to use it found it was rubbish as it only measured your heart rate and anything else would have to be manually entered.
I have emailed them four times asking for the subscription to be cancelled and did it through the app. I asked them to inform me when this had been done and received no reply.
Here we are on day four and they have taken 
out £37 from my bank.
I will be disputing this payment as I feel I have been scammed.

### 5/5 — José

*2025-07-31*

Muy buenos

### 1/5 — Too many ads, not good for people with ADHD, or who struggle to focus and stress about small things.

*2024-05-25*

dont worry, its all in the title ^^

### 1/5 — Refund

*2024-05-16*

I accepted the 3 days trial virgin and i have been charged 14.60 dollars, please refund

### 2/5 — not great but does its job (mostly)

*2024-04-18*

had to endure nearly five ads before getting to measuring my pulse - some of them poorly targeted. I got one that was trying to scare me into downloading something if i was worried about heart attacks and how common they were. let me tell you, that was not comforting. 

they also tirelessly advertise their 30$ a month subscription service which allows you to measure your pulse whenever you want, so yeah you have to pay to do what you downloaded the app for more than once in however long. not ideal. 

however, the pulse measurement seemed to work well and i very much appreciated how it told me to relax and breathe after recording my normal heart beat. good touch for people like me who may have downloaded due to anxiety based health concerns.

it also only uses the metric system, which ofc isn’t a problem unless you’re an american and then you’ll just have to watch a bunch more ads as you click on and off the app to convert it.

### 4/5 — Good health

### 1/5 — Junk app

*2023-12-08, version 2.0*

How does this work with the flash, its absolute scam especially when they want to charge £25/month. 😂 **%%^^^ jokers

### 1/5 — Deceptive Unauthorized Deduction

*2023-11-27*

This app is supposedly free for a promotional period yet they deducted $49.95 from my account. I feel violated. I also removed the DuoLingo app from my phone that advertised this “free” app. Such a SCAM! Be careful and wary of these to good to be true advertisements!
