8 of 25I was in the ER and tested this. It was 20 points higher than the one in the ER. Made me believe I was in more danger than I actually was along with my other symptoms.
I’ve been feeling weak and dizzy due to my heart rate going up. This helps me know when my heart is going above 100 bpm and when I need to lay down.
my friend wanted me to get this app to reacted to different names when she mentioned them, and it DOESN’T work at all. It keeps telling me to gently place my index finger over my camera lens, but I do MULTIPLE times and it doesn’t work! I also have a pretty new IPhone so it should work.
They tried to take 60 dollars before the free trial was even over! Dont use this.
Not Free
This app is fine if you’re using the free version. It’s not accurate, which is why purchasing any paid subscription is not worth it. Save your money and find a different app that can actually detect your heart rate. I accidentally paid for a year long subscription for $60 when I thought I’d try out the paid version for a free 3 day trial, only to get charged the full amount at time of purchase. I tried getting a refund and was told it wasn’t “meet conditions” for a refund. I cancelled the subscription right after I realized it charged me because it doesn’t seem to work consistently and is a waste of money considering the price of a subscription.
I downloaded three apps and one said my bpm was 53, one said 72, and this one said 117. I checked my bpm manually and I got 116.
I tried getting a free trial on this app, unknowingly my girlfriend had tried the same app on my phone months earlier. You only get the free trial when you sign up for a full year but it doesn’t visually indicate in the app that you are ineligible for it. On the second screen it showed I would be charged - I assumed after 3 days but also assumed I could get a refund after that so now I am out 60$ for an app I can’t even use. It doesn’t work with my phone’s case and camera, which is when I would need to use while I’m on a run. I would very comfortably have paid to try it for a month or understood it had to be prorated after the trial but apple support denied me for putting in the wrong reason as a header despite my description. Is there anything you can do to fix this? I would like to use this app when I upgrade my phone and recommend it to my friends but now in my mind it’s just the app that stole 60$ from me.
