★★★★★ "No BP measuring. The camera and flashlight is used to retrieve data, but only about heart rate. It doesn’t measure blood pressure, that has to be added manually. Not really what I was looking for. It doesn’t offer much for the price, the health app included…" - CL>40

Deceptive Marketing
It can’t measure most features. You have to do it with another device and record information on your own
Doesn’t work
I stupidly bought without trial. Can’t get it to work.

Does not Measure your BP!
This app is incorrectly marketed. It does not give you your blood pressure reading. It gives you a place to record it and you can measure your pulse with the app and phone , then the app with AI draws various conclusions. But it does not take your blood pressure using the phone!
I signed up for the trial, but it would only force me into a subscription
I don’t know if this app works or not because in spite of being signed up for the trial, I couldn’t access any of the features without paying for the subscription. That was very disappointing

Duplicative App
It takes the data from your health app that’s already built into your device and reformats in a way that is maybe more interesting to look at.
So there you have it! For $9/week you can have this app share what your phone already gives you for free.
Not much more (a little more if you squint and do some rounding up).

Read VERY carefully
You cannot take your blood pressure with this app. You can only log it. The description is worded to make it sound like it can take your blood pressure. The FREE Health app in Apple is just as good as this and you don’t get stuck with a 40.00/year bill. You have to sign up and buy at least a week long subscription to use the app. And find out it is similar to the health app. Buyer beware.
Nope
Every time I take measurements it says my results are inaccurate and do I still want to use results. Always says there’s an unstable signal. I’m sure they will say I moved or pushed too hard as they have with others but no, not true. Does not take bp or o2 as it leads you to believe. You manually log them but your iPhone and watch already do that for you for free. There is no benefit to paying a subscription for something you already have for free.
Replete
Keeps coming up inaccurate
Apple
Does not use date from Apple Watch at all. It says it sync to your Apple Watch but it doesn’t at and doesn’t use any of the data that my Apple Watch ultra 3. A complete waste of money. Why would it not use the Apple Watch health info ugh
doesn’t measure blood pressure
it claims to measure blood pressure. it doesn’t. it only allows you to enter numbers that you have already measured. for heart rate, it is very slow. takes over a minute. you are better off with a standard blood pressure cuff.
False advertising
The sales demo clearly shows the app completing the BP automatically. However it only gives you a place to record you BP when taken by other means.
MISLEADING ADVERTISING AND DENIED REFUND!
I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel obligated to warn others before they waste their money the way I did.
I purchased this app for $39 because the advertising clearly gives the impression that it can measure blood pressure by placing your finger over your phone’s camera. The screenshots and promotional images strongly suggest that the app can provide actual blood pressure readings using the phone alone. That’s what convinced me to buy it.
After purchasing and installing the app, I quickly discovered that it does not actually do what the advertisement led me to believe it could do. The marketing and the actual functionality are two very different things.
As soon as I realized this, I immediately requested a refund. My request was denied. I then appealed the decision, explaining that the advertising was misleading and that I purchased the app based on those claims. That appeal was also denied.
So now I’m out $39 for an app that did not deliver what its advertising appeared to promise.
My biggest concern isn’t even the money. It’s that other consumers may see the same advertisements, believe the same claims, and end up making the same mistake. Health-related apps should be especially clear and transparent about what they can and cannot do. Consumers should not have to discover the limitations only after paying.
If you’re considering buying this app because you think your phone camera can accurately measure your blood pressure simply by placing your finger over it, I strongly encourage you to do extensive research first and read the fine print carefully.
I wish I had.

Not working
This is jot working at all.

False advertising
This app was touted as “iPhone now measures blood pressure.” No it doesn’t. Only a tracker. I want my money back.
Liars with Apples blessing?
Apple said it was free and after I downloaded app, it listed a free two-day trial HA! And then it’s $.96 per day,more than $350 per year. Steve Jobs is definitely dead. Apple, oh Apple, what happened to you?
No blood pressure taken
No blood pressure options to measure
Too cumbersome
Just takes your pulse. All other metrics are manually added. You have to be very patient to get the pulse and if you move your finger, it starts over again.
Misleading
It leads you to believe that it measures blood pressure from the pictures however, it really will just log it if you enter your blood pressure measurement taken from another device.
False advertisement
Does not take your blood pressure
No free version
You cannot preview the app to see if it works, you immediately have to sign up for a subscription and the free trial is 3 days. It screams SCAM so I immediately deleted. I’m not buying something I cannot try.
Don’t Subscribe
It cannot take your BP! It’s a log or management system. The ad is completely false advertising!
Scam!
Nothing but a scam
Useless
Doesn’t tell you anything your Apple Watch wouldn’t. Don’t waste your money.
Useless
Not sure what is the point of this app. Just takes data from apple health and puts it here. I downloaded it because it said it analyzes blood pressure, but turns out you have to taje your bp and manually ener. Also have to manualky enter o2 sat and weight
Stole my Money
Was charged for app the SAME day within 2-3 hours of signing up by accident, without benefit of the 3 day trial. Once I sent my indication not to renew the app so that I would not be auto charged, they charged me. I am having Apple customer support verify those interaction times in the app so that they can see what happened. It is exhausting to continually fight to keep from getting scammed in this economy.
Unusable without $
Not sure why the app tries to promote itself as free. Yeah sure, they state they offer in-app purchases but that’s most apps these days. This app is 99% pointless unless you buy a subscription. It’s cheaper to buy a medical device that can tell you your pulse & blood pressure.
Don’t work
I can’t get it to measure my heart rate.
I see no blood pressure feature
The ad said otherwise
Bait and switch
They attracted me with a Google Ad that promised "most accurate BP". Started the free trial only to find that it doesn't measure BP, but does let you enter it manually (Hence, most accurate?). LOL. Deceptive advertising.
Blood pressure- NO!
Does NOT do blood pressure!
Not free
Any app requires payment at the end of the trial that does not let you try first without payment gets a one star from me.
Scam!! They will charge you anyway!
I signed up for the 3 day free trial and they immediately charged my card. No free trial. Scammers!!!
Sucks
This app sucks don’t waste your money I used it for about 2 weeks then the screen goes completely black couldn’t get to come back on waste of 54.00$
Trash
This is trash
Cannot retain information
App keeps losing information from past days and cannot retain the days measurements tried to refresh it and list all data Whdn a measurement is taken it does not process it stuck
False Advertising
I signed up for a year, thinking I could check my BP, as advertised. I cannot. I can check my pulse and O2 on my watch. Worthless.
Stop working
Was working fine then once updated never opened again
Decipetive
Add said it would measure pulse and blood pressure. It only measured pulse
inaccurate heart rate
nope. heart rate is consistently listed as almost double what my actual heart rate is making all other metrics also inaccurate. AI jibberish
Not great at all
It doesn’t work most of the time. It gets stuck or a black screen. I will delete it soon.
Not helpful
It doesn’t do much except measuring your HR
$$
It’s not worth the money when I have one at home
Where is the BP
Scam, doesn’t detect Blood Pressure
Blood pressure
This app does not measure your blood pressure as advertised.
The app did not work for me.
I could never get this app to work for me
Disappointed
Was having a rapid heart beat. App said I was fine. Ended up being taken by ambulance to ER and needed surgery.
