Wrong!
Don’t tell me this is a free app and then tell me that I have a 3 day free trial! THAT IS NOT A FREE APP!!
What a lie.

Says it’s free but charges 6.99 a week. Liars!
★★★★ M. I. A. 5/14/2025 v3.8
This is the worst
It was terrible. I put it on a red sweater and it said it had 71 beats. And then when I put it on my finger, it said I had 72 but actually I actually checked it and I had 87.
★★★★ UltimateGummyCat22 5/11/2025 v3.7
Bro
Its saying my blanket has a Heart Rate of 60
★★★★ S/S/C 5/4/2025 v3.7
Frustrated
Terrible, so confusing, I don’t know if I have the app now, am I paying for it, how to do it…I just want my blood pressure please explain simply what to do….
★★★★ Xipperz 5/1/2025 v3.7
Totally Inaccurate
So, I have a medical condition known as POTS, which causes tachycardia (high heart rate) I own a pulse oximeter that works very well! I was curious about this app and all I can say is…no. Please. If you NEED to monitor your heart rate, just buy a 10 dollar pulse ox off Amazon. This app is absurd. There is no physical way a PHONE CAMERA can read your heart rate for one, but most certainly, not read it accurately.
★★★★ 2. Wp 4/24/2025 v3.7
Rippoff
Not a good app would not let me cancel and I just subscribed this evening

I open and cancel the app the same day. Today they are trying to charge my account. They need to stop this transaction
★★★★ KDramaQueen1 4/7/2025 v3.7
Calculations were seriously off
I decided to try this after seeing a pop up add. It would definitely had been more convenient for me than carrying around my actual heart rate monitor so I gave it a try. I was given a reading of around 60 and my actual heart rates was at 100. If it was off by only 10 I would continue to use it because I’m looking for a ball park number and not 100% accuracy but that’s a huge difference. So disappointing.
★★★★ zoeyroseR 3/25/2025 v3.6
Inaccurate
This app tells me that my heart rate is 70. About a minute later I get checked at a real office, and I’m actually 130. And they said this app isn’t accurate

Fakeee!!!
My friend told me to review this app because he thought it was inaccurate. He was correct. I left my phone on the couch and my couch had a heart beat of 60??????
★★★★ FanJoyce 1/6/2025 v2.16

Doesn’t work for me
I am currently in the hospital recovering from a heart attack two days ago. They had to go in and remove a clot, use balloon and put in stents. I downloaded this today and the first thing after writing the report, is that I had excellent cardiovascular health.
Needless to say I canceled
★★★★ yaya🧘🏽‍♀️🎀 12/27/2024 v2.16
idk if it’s real
The title can technically explain everything but just from more explanation I got an Apple Watch and it says my heart rate is 103 through 90 but the app says 60 sum so I don’t know if it’s real but it’s OK I guess.
★★★★ g_b__ 12/19/2024 v2.16
scam
they want you to sign up for a 3 day “trial” with recurring subscription before letting you see how the app works. and they say you can’t cancel on the 3rd day. so it’s a 1 or 2 day trial. if they had confidence in their app, they’d give a true trial period, or at least a limited number of uses, before trying the “sign up, hopefully you’ll forget to cancel” ploy we’re all so tired of.
★★★★ Apoorva0101 12/19/2024 v2.16
Fake
Can even measure heart rate of table
★★★★ John 734123 11/29/2024 v2.15
Watch Out
Watch out! The few Watch Faces that it offers are nothing special nothing unique, more importantly, I paid 699 for this app. And all it did was give me access to buy more apps and a monthly subscription.
★★★★ Black Friday Beauty 11/24/2024 v2.15
Wrong information
This app is faulty. The reading is completely off not sure what AI is checking.
★★★★ Barefoot_indie 11/12/2024 v2.14
SCAM
SCAM warning. “Free Trial” is actually a $7 subscription. There is no way to cancel your “trial” in the app.
I should have seen the red flag. (Including that the company is headquartered in the Cayman Island). But in my defense, I was panicking over a bout of heart arythmia at the time (which this app didn’t detect.)

★★★★ shezaSweetie 10/31/2024 v2.13
Impossible to cancel
Not pleased at all as I thought the app also measured blood sugars but it doesn’t, I’m trying like crazy to cancel b4 it charges me. Never should’ve tried the free trial when u can’t cancel it, save ur money 🤑

What happened to this app?
It used to be incredibly accurate, and now it’s not even close. Terrible update. Canceling.
★★★★ VetteGal2012 9/8/2024 v2.8
Great Idea
Too expensive for those that need it most.
★★★★ Tangobabsi 8/17/2024 v2.6
TOO EXPENSIVE
A ring that does the same thing is $20. At Temu and has NO Weekly SUBSCRIPTION FEE!!!! 5.99 per WEEK!!!! That’s crazy🧐
★★★★ VTasman 8/14/2024 v2.6
Budgets for over 65 are limited
Give seniors a break in cost! They have earned it.
★★★★ subsbooster is trash 8/5/2024 v2.5
Fake
This app just generates heart rate responses told me that my heart rate is 180bpm then it said 20bpm, I’m sure if it was that high - low, I would be having problems, they just want to make a profit.
★★★★ Greg in Martin 7/30/2024 v2.5
Sneaky charges
Does not tell you it will charge 5.99 a week on the download page.

They trick you!
It says “free install” so I clicked to get it, now it says my purchase went thru! Don’t fall for their dishonest tactics.
★★★★ Dish52 7/9/2024 v2.4
Not a blood pressure reading
Why why why can’t you make an app that reads my blood pressure??? The android watches all do this , yet Apple doesn’t have a clue ???

Please cancel my subscription
I subscribed to this app in error. Please cancel my subscription. I can’t find where to cancel it myself. Thanks, Melinda Harper
★★★★ Jo-Emma 6/28/2024 v2.3
Annoying app
After the free tree day trial you either pay the absurd $7 per week or get harassed to pick a paid plan even after watching their advertisements. Very annoying.
★★★★ Howbadcanthisbe?? 6/20/2024 v2.3
Total rubbish!
No way this is free. Maybe for 3 days.
CANCEL!
★★★★ Chilldude26 6/11/2024 v2.3
Would not recommend at all I put this thing on my couch and it said it had 74 BPM
VERY BAD
★★★★ Jhgura 6/7/2024 v2.3
BEWARE! Not Free!
This app is not free! I just noticed a weekly charge of $6.37 that I was not aware of. After a trial period they start charging. I never saw this anywhere!

Blanket
Unless my blanket is alive this app is making up heart rates. I put my blanket over the camera to check and see if it was real.
