### 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.

### 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!

### 1/5 — В пробной версии нет измерения кислорода

*2021-08-18*

В пробной версии нет изменения кислорода, в подписке тоже

### 1/5 — Приложение-обманка

*2021-08-14*

Из описания делается вывод, что приложение умеет и кислород в крови измерять и давление, но оно тупо считает пульс и всё. Остальное нужно вводить самому циферками. Да ещё за деньги. Полная лажа

### 1/5 — CANCELAR ASSINATURA QUE FIZ SEM QUERER.

*2021-07-08*

Quero cancelar a assinatura pois não quero. Não aceitei nada e não finalizei nada! Quero cancelar a assinatura!

### 1/5 — Мусор

*2021-04-27*

Приложение мусор 🗑

*2021-04-19*

Quero o estorno da assinatura que eu fiz e ainda no mesmo dia cancelei e não fiZeram o cancelamento

### 1/5 — advogado matheus moreira

*2021-03-31*

galera denunciem o app por que nao muda nada e eu fiz um teste e coloquei a mão e tirei e continuou o teste de batimentos cardiacos

### 1/5 — Верните деньги!

*2021-03-29*

Знакомство с приложением стоило мне около 9380 за подписку. Изначально было предложение  попробовать 3 дня бесплатно, потом когда подписываешься и открываешь приложение, сразу всплывает меню, которое не дает возможность пользоваться приложением, а сразу нужно выбрать подписку. Вообщем, я то думала, что договорились о том, что 3 дня бесплатно, нажала  ок на подписку годовую. И тут «неждан», сразу списание 3890руб и потом 5490р. Но последний платеж не списался, т. .к не достаточно было средств на карте🙈 я в шоке, с давлением теперь сижу. Прошу вернуть мне 3890 рублей и отменить списывание 5490 р

### 1/5 — reembolso

*2021-03-28*

preciso cancelar uma assinatura que fiz sem querer.

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2021-03-12, version 1.0.30*

The app makes it appear you can take your pulse ox with the phone.  You can only I put your data and track it.

### 2/5 — Charged $12.99 for a ‘free’ trial

*2021-03-03, version 1.0.29*

Misrepresented ‘free’ trial. 

Not to mention that even after being charged, I was still unable to measure my blood oxygen levels using my iPhone.

### 1/5 — Quero cancelar

*2021-02-21*

Nem consegui fazer o primeiro acesso. Super complicado. Da erro inesperado.

### 1/5 — Pulse

*2021-02-13, version 1.0.28*

I tried it several times. The reading never finished. Glad I didn’t pay for this. Free for 3 days. I’m only keeping it for 10 minutes!

### 1/5 — Списывают деньги просто так!!!

*2021-02-13*

Установила приложение, сразу удалила и уже три раза списывали деньги с карты по три тысячи!!!

### 1/5 — Not a Pulse Oximeter app

*2021-02-01, version 1.0.26*

This does only heart rate via camera and flash. 
Misleading in that it states it is available to keep the information in a diary... I don’t normally do negative reviews.

### 1/5 — Requesting cancellation

*2021-01-25, version 1.0.26*

Thank you!!

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2024-03-12, version 1.6.9*

Waaayyyy too many ads

### 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!

### 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!

### 1/5 — Cuidado

*2021-09-01*

Não consigo cancelar e acabei de obter o App com versão gratuita mas entrou como assinatura de mais de 200 reais. Não tem como cancelar

### 1/5 — Cancelamento de assinatura

*2021-08-27*

Alguém conseguiu cancelar? Eu cancelei imediatamente após perceber que não funcionava corretamente e veio a cobrança no cartão!

### 1/5 — Very difficult to unsubscribe and cancel

*2021-08-24, version 1.40*

App makes you enroll saying there is a free trial but does not allow you to unsubscribe or cancel when it’s not what you expected! Help, I don’t want to pay for an app to that doesn’t do what I expected. How do I cancel

### 5/5 — Самое лучшее приложение для людей с большой душей

*2020-11-19*

Был темный пасмурный день, ничего не предвещало беды, и вот мое сердце замерло. 
В глазах потемнело и я почувствовал что теряю сознание.
Но благо в моем телефоне нашлось великолепное приложение, которое мгновенно измеряло частоту моего сердцебиения и подсказало, как себя вести.
Вы спасли мою жизнь.
Спасибо 🥲🥲🥲

### 5/5 — العراق

### 5/5 — Great job

*2020-06-08, version 1.0.9*

Very accurate heart rate monitor. I measured my pulse the old fashioned way and again with this app and the result was spot-on. Totally recommended.

### 5/5 — Tnx

*2020-06-05, version 1.0.9*

To be sure the app was working right I tested it measuring my heart rate with a blood pressure machine at the drugstore while using the app at the same time and there was almost no difference between the two. Now I use it all the time. Thank you!
