## What is Pulse Plus?

You don’t need any special medical equipment to get your pulse and to keep track of your health state, just your phone camera! Most accurate, fast and easy to use heart rate app.
 
APPLIED METHOD:

Our app is based on photoplethysmography (PPG), non-invasive optical technique. Each heart beat transmits the amount of blood to the tissues in your fingers, while the blood absorbs your camera’s light, it illuminates the skin and captures microvascular blood volume changes such as ebb and flow. That allows you to measure the pulse easily, accurately and efficiently.
 
HOW TO USE:

Cover the camera lens and flashlight with your fingertip completely. Do not press too intensively in order to avoid reducing blood flow. Hold your phone steady and keep still. Make sure your fingers are not cold. Press the button and get your results.
 
TRACK YOUR MEASUREMENTS:

Get visual display of the data at the given period of time. Personal dashboard with your measurement history.
 
HEALTH KIT INTEGRATION:

Support for sharing heart rate results with Apple Health App.
 
REMINDER:

Receive notifications in order to have your finger on the pulse. Staying healthy and fit is a systematic process.
 
IMPROVE YOUR PERFORMANCE:
Track your workout effectiveness to get in shape, improve your endurance and general wellness.
 
NEVER MISS A BEAT!

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2024-03-12, version 1.6.9*

Waaayyyy too many ads

### 5/5 — Heart rate

*2023-12-28, version 1.6.9*

### 1/5 — Nao assinem eles nao tem como cancelar

*2023-02-21*

É um absurdo! Voce se inscreve para testar e nao tem como cancelar, SCAM!!!

**Developer response:** Oi! Lamentamos que alguns recursos não tenham atendido às suas expectativas. No entanto, o aplicativo possui recursos gratuitos, como medir o pulso ou manter registros da pressão arterial, dos níveis de oxigênio no sangue e da temperatura corporal. Esperamos que você encontre exatamente aqueles que você gosta e continue usando nosso aplicativo. Tenha um bom dia!

### 2/5 — Not free

*2022-12-30, version 1.5.5*

Not free

Edit: although I feel like I was misled, I did receive a cordial email. I gave him a second star for that it could have been damage control, but I appreciated the effort.

### 1/5 — Scam!  Will not allow you to end subscription

*2022-04-25, version 1.5.0*

Yes Apple does not give you an opportunity to cancel. This is an absolute scam stay away from it and all costs I’m still fighting if you end a subscription

### 1/5 — They want your $$!

*2022-03-10, version 1.4.8*

There is no way to try this app without authorizing the author to capture $2.99/week after the first “free” week. If you forget to cancel, then you are on the hook. I find this dishonest.

### 1/5 — No clear instructions!!!

*2022-02-06, version 1.4.8*

No clear directions from within the app. Nowhere did it instruct me to place my fingers on the iPhone camera, even after pressing the plus sign. Nothing happened. Useless.

### 1/5 — даже не пробуйте

*2022-01-29*

никакой пульсоксиметрии по камере нет, задержите дыхание по их таймеру и скажут оценку насыщения, фейк! про цену подписки на год = 2 проф пульсоксиметра, умолчим

### 1/5 — Cancelar

*2022-01-09*

Não consigo fazer o cancelamento, não gostei e não me atende!
Péssimo atendimento!

### 4/5 — Sacanagem!

*2021-11-08*

Cancelem essa assinatura! Ao invés de colocar a digital para abrir o App, cobraram uma assinatura! Acabei de instalar! Cancelem!
