Won't work if signal is low. Even with a good signal and being sure i'm following their tips, this app fails to work. It often tells me it has detected my finger, I see numbers flash but at the end it says can't read. About ready to look for another heart rate app.

O70%
by O####:

I tried several times my self and setting age as younger(20yrs),middle age(36),and old age(60)... And i observed differnet heart rate as 81,72,69 respectively... Here what happen actually i touch same finger but change age setting.. According to age only its reflecting not as per phishycal fitness and heartbeat

H70%
by H####:

Not sure if i'm using this right. Is my finger supposed to be lightly pressed against the camera lens? That's what I'm doing and I can feel the lens spinning as it tries to focus. I'm worried that i'm smudging it up and my next photos will come out blurry, or if I press to hard maybe I could mess up the focusing mechanism.

R70%
by R####:

Being a bit skeptical, I manually took my pulse in parallel with the app. Apart from a normal delay between the carotid and index finger, the beats were the same as those sensed by this app. It works surprisingly well.

R70%
by R####:

I'm currently having some health issues. And having to keep a constant check on my pulse. I'm using this app in unison with another app. Could quite possibly save my life with what's going on!! To the creators thank you for this app, so apps many only allow 2 readings a day!!

R70%
by R####:

As a new user, I'll give 2* for now and review again after a longer test period. My friends are astonished at my resting HR of 45-50, though

Y70%
by Y####:

The minimal functionality of this app is typical of Android based apps. Give the 'suckers' a picture of what could be and maybe they will buy the real thing. Has it occurred to Android developers that the idea of 'under promise and over deliver' means that the sample you provide is capable of standing alone and the real product drops 'their socks.' That process will deliver 3X's as much profit, not revenue, but profit.

R70%
by R####:

LED gets REALLY hot! Other apps like Runtastic don't seem to use as bright LED so it doesn't burn my finger. Otherwise it works well. Unlimited readings vs some other apps.

R70%
by R####:

My wife is an MA and I had her check my pulse at the same time as this app. They were no more than 3 bpm difference between her reading and this app. We did this several times. Every time it was accurate.

Q70%
by Q####:

APP IS completely Unreliable. JUNK IT. NOTHING MORE THAN SPAM MOST DEFINITELY. CRAIG SMITH. CYA LOL. GOOD BYE AND THANK GOD IT'S FREE.

R70%
by R####:

Thought s5 only can do this, thanks to this app.. camera lens acts as sensor for detecting pulse rate.

Y70%
by Y####:

Not accurate at all.. how can my heart beat change within seconds? And it's a huge gap! First I measured it was 67 per min. I tried again for accuracy, it increase to 108! And again it decrease to 87? All this process not exceeding 30sec! So u see? How is it possible my heart beat changes in that short time? BTW I'm uninstalling thanks

O70%
by O####:

Had to give it one to rate. The thing is next to useless ! According to this my desk has a pulse of 42 ! Something wrong there guys.

R70%
by R####:

Works very well. Had a few problems the first days, as the app could not detect my finger, but then I realised I had to be still when using. Works like a charm!!!

R70%
by R####:

Unexpectedly useful. I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that it actually works. If you need the information about your heart rate, and cannot determine it without this app, you should definitely use it.

R70%
by R####:

I have a heart problem, usually fast. I do use several medical monitors but downloaded this because I always have my phone with me. At first, it was off a little, but I wasn't too concerned. THIS MORNING IT READ 51BPM and said I could have Bradycardia. At the time, my pulse oxymeter and BP monitor showed 67bpm. That is a huge difference and by itself could be very dangerous if I believed the app. I am uninstalling immediately and would advise others to find something more accurate IMMEDIATELY.

R70%
by R####:

Automatic detection of heart rate works fine on camera. Works fine on BPM below 40. History could however be done locally instead of remote. Requires pro version for history. Warns of baradycardia on low bpm

E70%
by E####:

I have hypertension type 2 and while resting, my heartbeat is always abnormally high. This app measured my heartbeat accurately five times in a row..

J70%
by J####:

This is an issue with the S 3. How do others get it to work? Maybe fake ratings?

R70%
by R####:

I know when it is functioning properly its is 5bpm less than readings from my doctor's gauge... When it wants to work... I have had it say my heart rate is anywhere from 32 bpm - 52 bpm and I have tachycardia so that's impossible... I'm not sure if it's even possible with a healthy heart... It is getting to where it doesn't want to detect a beat at all and when it does it goes back and forth (from 70bpm - 130bpm) so much it still says measure failed.. unfortunately it's still better than others I have tried

B70%
by B####:

Have used it a few times and does seem to be accruate... difficult to know if the reading is correct other than to verify with a professional machine.

L70%
by L####:

Had arrhythmia for years. Developed problems one day. Used app to track heartbeat. Went from 129 to 46 in a short time and pictures of pulse erratic. Went to hospital had to have surgery for a pacemaker next day. Helped to convince me to go to hospital and ultimately saved me.

M70%
by M####:

Seems to work well on my Fairphone 2 where the camera and light are close together. The readings I get are pretty close to what my Wahoo chest strap monitor and my blood pressure gauge say. I'm in the range for my age where it tells me that I'm either really fit or I may have bradycardia. I don't feel very fit at the moment, hence why I use these hypochondria gadgets.

T70%
by T####:

I tested it again and again and found it reliable. It beeps with every pulse. Not a fake application at all as I had thought at first.

M70%
by M####:

Love this app. Was all set to buy a very expensive monitor when I read about this app. I need to track my heart rate. That's all. Don't need any other bells and whistles. This app works well and does what it says it does. It may take a few attempts at first to calibrate but I think that has more to do with the user learning how to hold it correctly. Works perfectly.

M70%
by M####:

A very great app .. so useful what it can do .. it measures the right bmp as shows in a real heart monitor .. excellent job .. for who sees that light can hurt your finger well don't put it too long and it's a camera thing not an app problem (you can capture a video and see that its also getting hot) .. and who have wrong heart beats results just read the manual and youll see how to use it properly. There are few conditions. Keep up the good work! :)

Z70%
by Z####:

Really difficult to get a heart rate. Not enough light, low signal, finger not warm bunch of bs. Found a better heart measuring app which is Runtastic.

M70%
by M####:

Couldn't find heart rate and I tried it more than 5 times. Azumio apps is for now the only apps that is working properly. I tried 5 heart rates apps.

M70%
by M####:

About 50/50 if it gets a read. And all over the place doing back to back checks have been more than 30 bpm off.

O70%
by O####:

I enjoy this app a great deal. Its very accurate and I sometimes depend on it when I'm unable to find my regular pulse/oxygen tester. I have conjestive heart failure and have to keep a close eye on my numbers. Thsnks to all concerned and have ax good Friday.

F70%
by F####:

Hated it..exactly piece of crap if you ask me...for all who like an love it, I'm glad that it works well for you an hope it helps you..it just won't work for me but everyone is different...so don't let my negative comment influence your decision to not try it because there are many comments with great results..it might work for you...

L70%
by L####:

Very helpful. I use this app every morning before I get out of bed to start my day, and during the day I monitor my heart rate to see the difference because move up and down a lot.

J70%

Checking my beat with checker tho. And i have never seen my beat below 90 and your BS meter gave me result of 70 beats LOLOL

Its so help me for monitoring my condition, now I can life healthy

P70%
by P####:

Why lie 4?¿!¡ Showing the same rate over and over again plus it doesn't have to be your finger I did it on my arm, chest, stomach

M70%
by M####:

Cool device! Practical and convenient. I love it!!

M70%
by M####:

Compared it to an actual blood pressure monitor and the readings were almost the same

K70%
by K####:

After dying four days ago from a massive heart attack my cardiologist suggested I get a monitor for my heart rate, this one works well and hasn't said that I have reached my daily limit for testing, perhaps this company is more interested in my health than my money, that's appreciated. Thank you for the great app.

F70%
by F####:

I have MS, so it's really good to know what my heart rate is, especially since my MS has caused me to lose most of my mobility.

T70%
by T####:

First off, I LOVE that there's no "daily limit". This tells me the company really does care about my health and not just making a quick buck! Second, I wish it could calculate a little faster, when I'm checking my 1 year old, (she has asthma) or my other 3 who just like to use for fun. It doesn't pick up their finger like 9 outta 10 times. Please fix it so it can read little people hands :) thanks! Great app!
