I'm not sure how long this will be free for. Last time was 2 days. Already been free for day this time.

I've used the free version of this for a while and was contemplating upgrading to avoid waiting for the ads before taking a reading after exercise.

    Tried on my iPad. Doesn't take a measurement. Maybe I'm doing it wrong… Anyone got it to work on an iPad?

    • did you try taping the iPad to your arm and going for a run?

    • Pretty sure it uses the flash on iPhones.

    Resting of 66, did 5 pushups, went up to 100…

  • Is this app for ? How can cam and flash reads human heart rate?

      The general way these apps work is to measure the change of light coming through your finger, which is due to the blood flow ie your pulse.
      So they need a fairly bright light source ie daylight or the phone flash on .

  • Does this work on an iPod Touch?

    • It says that it does but I can't get it to work on mine. Doesn't turn the flash light. The number is always zero.

  • I got this app last time it was free. It seems to be pretty accurate; it gives a reading of ± 1 or 2 according to my $20 Aldi heart rate monitor (or they're both wildly inaccurate). It will only work well on iPhones/iPods with a flash. (iPhone 4/iPod 5th gen and up) Otherwise you will need another bright light.

  • worked for me, felt my pulse with one hand and did the camera flash thing with the other. the displayed pulses were in sync with the ones I felt so unless there's a problem with the mathematics (easiest part??), I would say this is pretty accurate.

    quit asking whether it works or not though. IT'S FREE.

    try it and see, unless the 6MB download is going to put you over your limit.

  • Good app. Used it and loved it. :)

  • Funny I was at the gym earlier and in between sets I decided to check Ozbargain and saw this, downloaded right away and gave it a go when I hit the treadmill to compare (Life Fitness machine), reading from this app shows 112 when the machine was showing 120… tested it a few times and it was about 8-10 less than what the actual machine shows… Using this with an iPhone 5. Not very accurate but still ok I guess.

    • Not very accurate but still ok I guess.

      How do you know the treadmill is accurate?

      • Mate and I compared the reading we got from the the treadmill compared to a Polar Watch with strap sensor early last year and it was pretty much spot on.

    • I have also noticed a discrepancy with a Polar heart rate strap monitor and this app in the order of about 10bpm. However, the app does seem to reflect my wrist pulse in the graph that it displays during the synch. Perhaps this discrepancy is to be expected when taking a reading at the extremity of a finger?

  • heart monitoring is now my new hobby

  • this (pro) app is not free.

    • Looks like the promotion has expired. It was free for 2 or 3 days.
