Instant Heart Rate - Pro for Android
This was a great app, I even paid for it. And then the ads and nag screens started. "Pay for the app, get rid of the ads", they said. Now they want ~$2.50 a MONTH? Not in this lifetime. There are 2753 other apps that do the same thing FOR FREE (even though I paid for no ads).
Stopped working! The last few updates have made this app really unstable. It used to register my heart rate quickly. Now it takes up to one minute before it starts to measure anything. The readings are not as accurate as they used to be. The readings are all over the place which made me lose trust in the app. It will say 100, then 40 bpm, then 85. After I shut off the app, the flash will stay on for about 5 seconds
It's a joke. My heart continues to beat even after I take my finger off of the sensor. The pro version does absolutely nothing more than the free one and still has adds. I wrote an email to them trying to find out why there's a free and paid so} that are no different and see if there was a problem or something that was causing it, but they didn't even respond to me. Don't waste your money!!
Ad ridden load of crap. Do not get this. Get one of the many other heart rate apps. It's like they didn't even test it. There's no main screen or way to see past measurements, if you press back it asks your gender again and tries to make HR again.
Removed features I already paid for now requiring more money to use what I bought the premium app for. Typical bait and switch so they could get higher reviews, then use the reviews later when they ruined the app.
Keeps bugging me for various things like install some other app. All I want is my heart rate. Colours also indicate that a heart rate of 56 is in the middle. I would consider that rest. Makes background internet connections without it even running. Wasted money.
Far from 'instant'. Full of obnoxious offers for useless additional 'services' despite being the paid/pro version of the app. A stop watch and feeling your pulse remains far superior.
This app used to be a great app and that's why I bought it. Lately it started showing many ads and it's performance & accuracy on Moto Z are sub par. Support never answers, not recommending a buy - use other apps.
Used to love it but I paid for premium version to eliminate annoying ads, now I'm being advertised to, which is a breach of contract and one I am no longer willing to put up with. I intend so seek legal counsel regarding deceptive practices.
Do not force people to answer annoying question and register to your service! I just wanted to measure my heart rate!
Used to be good, which is why I paid for it. Now it's just a bloated stinking pile of crap filled with ads.
I paid for this not long ago and now suddenly I haven't just lost the features but I also get bombarded with ads. Sort it out or say goodbye to your app numbers.
[2017 edit - used to be great so paid for ad-free 'Pro' version, now it is a disgraceful bloated mess of useless 'Premium' subscription-pushing ads with the original useful features either buried or removed.] [Old review: I've checked the results from this app against the pulse from my BP cuff and from Garmin HRM strap, all within 1-2bpm of each other at a given time, so this seems quite accurate. Good value at this price. I only use this app to check resting heart rate on dry skin, not sure how well it would stand up to fast sweaty pulsed fingers...]
I as well as many others have already paid for this app. We should be grandfathered in. Now this update and version for this paid app is useless. You have taken privileges away and are stealing from your consumer.
Sucks features stopped working was told to uninstall and reinstall now I have nothing but adds I paid for no adds and now it won't store heart rate you guys suck don't even bother with this app worthless now!!!
Too bloated these days. Paid for it but it's now uninstalled and replaced by a simple free one
Used to be great but now full of ads. I bought the pro version with a prior phone but now have Google. That may be the problem.
In my opinion it works great for me. I now use the FREE version. I was on monthly buy kept getting ads and figured over what's the point of paying for it. I use it daily and even though I'm limited in what I can see, overall this app is pretty good... since it is FREE.
Save your money. Lots of other options available. Why pay for pro version only to be inundated with ads?
Was good so I paid for it. With latest update is now a steaming pile of an app. I just want my heart rate info! Uninstalling and will avoid developer.
Measures heart rate well, but does not integrate with Google Fit as advertised. Reports about your history are pretty basic.
I hope your penis gets chipped off in an industrial accident/reality show
Bought this years ago, never had any problems. Installed new version to new device and experienced advertisement-screen hell. This app sucks now.
Can't even use this anymore without being asked to set up my health profile & asked how I like the app - every time I use it. I just want to check my heart rate.
I already paid for the pro version and now they want more money to upgrade to the premium version while bombarding me with ads. There are free alternatives out there that workout any ads.
Useful app, but using paid for it, none of the features should be included without having to pay a ridiculous monthly premium. There could be an annual fee similar to what WHATSAPP used to charge ~ £1.50 or less.
I have panic attacks and believe when I'm in full swing that I'm gonna have a heart attack this calms me straight away as i can keep an eye on my rate as i breathe. Couldnt live without it literally
I paid for this years ago and now there's ads again. Not impressed.
I paid for the app and there are ads. What a pathetic company this is. BOYCOTT THIS APP. The programs states there are no ads in the pro version, but there are TONS OF ADS. THIS IS FRAUD. REPORT THIS APP TO GOOGLE TO HAVE IT REMOVED FROM THE PLAY STORE.
So many annoying popups that it is almost unusable. Also even the paid version has a ton of ads.
What happened. Paid for pro years ago and do an update and it's bloated adware now. The page that shows your heartrate details doesn't even load for me after 24 hr of updating. Joke.
Riddled with ads and spam. So much for the pro version. Best to avoid and use something else.
I can't get the app to integrate with Google Fit. If that could be fixed it would get a 5 star rating from me.
**edited to lower rating because of ads that are now integrated in update ** Please contact me because something has changed, I paid for this app so it wouldn't have pop ups and adds for other services and now it's obnoxiously asking me if I want to upgrade to some premium workout and blah blah bullshit. Please contact me to fix this.
Scumbags take money then stick you with adds and bo extra features. Hope you maggots fail alive you scamming pricks. Up yours kunts
Amazing app, can easily, instantly know my Heart rate and if I'm experiencing any irregularities that I can share with my Doctor. The ability to keep the reports long term is helpful, too.
Total con I paid for this app a few years ago.. now I get adverts every few seconds, you've took my money and subject me to adverts..
Far from perfect and to pushy to sell other things for a paid app.
Paid for premium and now they ask for more money for a premium heart rate and took away what i already paid for. I uninstalled the app and never use it again.

Go Google Azumio Heart Rate Pro 2.6.1 to get a roll back apk. Then just log into your Azumio account and your rates should show up. Then just don't update or connect the app to the store etc and you're good. Making the paid version littered with ads to subscribe and burying the UI behind this is simply unethical. I'll avoid Azumio apps in the future. I've bought one and learned my lesson.
