I used to use this app all the time, but now, with this update, I hate it. Open it, POP UP AD for 30-60 seconds. Measure your current heart rate, POP UP AD, before you can see the results. Before, there were not any POP up ads of any kind. I would not recommend this […]

I understand this is free, & ads are required, but my goodness! They are full page, ridiculously long & occur *every time* you do ANYTHING! The app is useless IMO. It’s impossible to stop the ads without completely closing the app. When I go back in, the same ad is there, & it will automatically […]

I only need this app when I’m having a cardiac episode, and in the last year they started adding ads AS you open the app. Meaning, I literally have to sit a full minute through a health episode watching an ad before I can even get my heart rate that I need. And then, you […]

Works great. I missed my built in HR monitor from my Galaxy S8 when I upgraded my phone, and ended up keeping my old phone around just to use it for that purpose, but i can’t carry around 2 phones all the time. This is just as accurate as my old phone and now I […]

App seems okay. Not happy with the setup. After downloading the app and set up. An ad showed up that looked like part of this apps setup. I didn’t realize it was an ad until after it started downloading. I swiped to stop the download and exited as fast as I could. I have seen […]

It is an okay app, however I don’t feel it is a dependable measure. I took two readings within one minute and both readings were different. The 1st. Reading was 127 the 2nd was 103 and it was done one after another. It was a resting rate I measured. So I cant say how accurate […]

After setup you get less than 36 hrs to figure out how to navigate and whether it’s providing useful information. After that you can measure once daily, but without the ability to see any results at all. No menu and navigation is not intuitive. Also a lot of intrusive “helpful” verbiage keeps interfering with navigation. […]

all it did was ask to register then immediately switches to the Sheetz app, unless that’s uninstalled, in which case it opens my bank’s app needless to say it didn’t work in even the most basic, fundamental manner.. I mean.. HOW does it even do that? is it trying to hijack another app? Comment reply: […]

Off the bat, great to use, easy interface, accurate data, and lots of tools to use for gaining insight as to what is considered to be actually “normal” or not. Most apps., and like, don’t like to actually be that detail oriented, or actually really do as they claim. This app puts its money where […]

There are so many ads that you really can’t do anything with the app. I open it and get an ad. It suggests another app that monitors another diagnostic, and you can only accept it because it won’t let you do anything else. Any time you click on anything, another ad appears. When I first […]

Overall, pretty useful, well built, and has good features such as tracking trends, comparing different heart rates with differing levels of physical or mental activity, etc. Basic reader works for the most part, very well; half the reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that I hadtrouble with the monitor on just […]

In the last few weeks, the ads on this app have increased to the point where it is close to unusable. I have tracked my blood pressure for nearly a year, with 1-2 reasonable ads per use. The last few weeks, the ads now show after nearly every single button I click. It is 5-6 […]

It’s about the best you get, now that Samsung took away the pulseox feature away from the health app. Takes a second to learn, because you have to figure out which camera lense it’s using, and some phones may not be able to use it, because the light may not me located close enough to […]

It’s a good app and all, but as someone with a heart condition, all the ads at the beginning are really tedious. My heart rate varies dramatically by the minute, and waiting that extra time and having to find the tiny little x button to leave the ad is sometimes enough time to not get […]

I was using this app to track my heart rate for a possible POTS diagnosis. I liked being able to see the difference between resting and standing, light and heavy activity, etc. My phone screen broke and I had to get a new phone. Well the data never synced to the cloud so I lost […]

I think it’s absolutely ridiculous that you decided to put ads into this app. I have a condition called POTS and don’t have the ability to afford other means of tracking my heart rate when I feel off, So the fact you have added upwards of two minutes long ads into an app to force […]

Would be awesome if it wasn’t for the crazy long ads. I have problems with my heart rate randomly spiking and I need to monitor it, so the long wait time has led to moments where I could be in danger. Put the ads after you get your reading, or limit the time of the […]

Started using this due to a sudden episode of tachycardia that wouldn’t stop, even when resting for hours. Very easy-to-use. I’m not sure how the readings manage to be relatively accurate, but they can because I double check with the manual method. The accuracy of the app is good enough Β±3-5bpm (for me). I like […]

I can’t wear rings or watches, so this was my best option. Very easy. App isn’t bulky. Wording in feedback area suggests genuine interest in getting it. Will get 5 when they get enough subscribers to go ad-free. Atm, the few ads that are there are unobtrusive, and as said, only 1-2 per use. 1 […]

This app lasted 2 minutes on my phone. upon launch, it immediately starts popping up ads for their other programs. there is no way to close them or go back to what you’re trying to do and get a pulse reader. EDIT: After reading their response, you can see that they know there are pop […]
