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?

    • Caped Baldy on 08/06/2013 - 23:21

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

    • theguyrules on 08/06/2013 - 23:33

      Pretty sure it uses the flash on iPhones.

    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?

    • niknah on 10/06/2013 - 09:41

      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.

  • ieatcrackers on 09/06/2013 - 04:20

    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.

  • pastrydemon on 09/06/2013 - 06:41

    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. :)

  • imolared on 09/06/2013 - 08:36

    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.

    • pmupsinep on 09/06/2013 - 10:22

      Not very accurate but still ok I guess.

      How do you know the treadmill is accurate?

      • imolared on 09/06/2013 - 11:08

        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.

    • roughana on 09/06/2013 - 12:24

      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

  • vtr4423 on 10/06/2013 - 16:25

    this (pro) app is not free.

    • p4e81 on 10/06/2013 - 18:18

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