1. [R4] Instant Heart Rate 1/5 · US Not happy: Cancelled membership but was still charged 64 for something I never even used
2. [R6] Instant Heart Rate 3/5 · US Nice app: Overall it’s a nice app, me personally I found better. I uninstalled the app after using it for a few hrs and realized it isn’t for me. But ever since it keeps trying to charge my card 64$ I went back to delete my whole account and it tried to charge my card again! Good thing is my card was locked.
3. [R28] Instant Heart Rate 1/5 · US They try to charge you fast: They tried to take 60 dollars before the free trial was even over! Dont use this.
4. [R38] Instant Heart Rate 1/5 · US Not happy: It does tell you what your heart rate is. It gives you a 3 day free trial. However, if you decide you do not want the subscription, there is no way to cancel it. You will still be charged and apple will not refund. They stole $64.36 from me. When I finally got a response from someone from customer service from this app, they told me they can’t issue any refunds, only Apple can. And I do
5. [R7] Instant Heart Rate 1/5 · US Be Aware this App isn’t Accurate, Don’t Waste Your Money!: 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,
6. [R24] Instant Heart Rate 3/5 · GB This app is odd: Use the other BPM apps. This isn’t always accurate compared to the others. How does this show I have 93bpm when the others should im inbtween 65-80bpm? Make it make sense
7. [R25] Instant Heart Rate 1/5 · US INACCURATE!: Used to be accurate, not accurate anymore. I thought something was seriously wrong with me.
8. [R30] Instant Heart Rate 1/5 · US Not accurate: I 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.
9. [R9] Instant Heart Rate 3/5 · US Works well, won’t read low HR: App is easy to use and works well. Only problem is, since the new update, it won’t work for a heart rate less than 40 bpm. Sometimes my heart rate can be 38-39. If this is true (per my watch), the app glitches and won’t register it. It just doesn’t work!!! This didn’t used to be true, only since a recent update. Very annoying!!
10. [R12] Instant Heart Rate 3/5 · US Great app when the Camera works: Half the time the camera won’t turn on on my IPhone. Meaning I cannot use the app properly. It’s a 50/50 shot whether or not it works for me.
11. [R19] Instant Heart Rate 1/5 · US Terrible do NOT get.: 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.
12. [R27] Instant Heart Rate 3/5 · GB Almost works sometimes: This is a very clever app making use of the rear camera and the light, and when it works it takes about 30s, and when it doesn't you can spend 30 minutes trying different fingers and placing it near the light over the light at different angles and the app just doesn't want to detect your finger.
13. [R3] Instant Heart Rate 3/5 · US Maddening to sign in: There was no way to close the keyboard so I could reach the "sign up" or "login" options at the top. I had to force quit the app and start over multiple times to get signed in. I already had an account from a long time ago, so I used the forgotten password feature. In the email, there was a button to open the app, but it took me to the web instead. It took forever to take
14. [R10] Instant Heart Rate 1/5 · US Bad privacy: I bet nobody actually reads the privacy policy. Read it.
15. [R13] Instant Heart Rate 2/5 · US Pushy: Kind of pushy that another app needs you to make an account to use it(presumably to sell your info)
16. [R18] Instant Heart Rate 3/5 · US Deleted: I used to live this app but New version won’t let you use unless you log on with your email and create an account. Immediately deleted ! There are alternatives in Apple Store that won’t require account creation
17. [R47] Instant Heart Rate 5/5 · GB Great app: Works great and easy to use. But I find the premium prices ridiculous. Am I really going to pay £9.99 a month, or even £4.99, for a single-function app? The same as I might pay for an Amazon prime subscription with all the value that provides? £9.99 a year maybe, but not per month.
18. [R51] InPulse 1/5 · US Con artist: Do not try this app. It said three day free trial and then tried to charge me $20.
19. [R54] InPulse 1/5 · US Too many ads: As I said too many pop up ads
20. [R55] InPulse 5/5 · US InPulse App: Great app. Easy to use. I love it!
21. [R57] InPulse 5/5 · US First impressions: New to the site, but I find it easy to navigate. If future experiences are similar, I believe that I will enjoy using the app.
22. [R65] Welltory 1/5 · US Not able to cancel: The data provided by the app is very interesting, but can be overwhelming. Giving low stars because I’m not able to turn off auto renew for my yearly subscription. I sent a message via their contact form and have not had a response, I will have to cancel my credit card. They also really push buying lifetime access. I signed up for the annual subscription because it claimed I wo
23. [R66] Welltory 5/5 · US Good product: Just checking to see if it was accurate. It was. It recognized that I was in Afib.
24. [R69] Welltory 5/5 · US Knowledge is power.: Knowledge of our own engine is survival.
25. [R70] Welltory 3/5 · US Monetization tactics overwhelming and disruptive: I have a premium plan and am CONSTANTLY disrupted with nudges and prompts to upgrade, review the app, and engage with the app (“have you checked your nervous system in the last 15 minutes?”) The PMs should focus more on how to make this data useful for me and surfacing it in helpful ways.
26. [R79] Heart Rate Monitor 1/5 · US NEED REFUND: i am upset because I did not want to purchase this after trial and they charged me $50!! please refund my money
27. [R80] Heart Rate Monitor 5/5 · US Heart beat: I have rapid heart beat and having this all to measure throughput the day is a big help. I can show my heart doctor when I se her.
28. [R81] Heart Rate Monitor 3/5 · US Was expecting different: Was expecting bp checker. Will change my stars when I’m sure I have my money refunded. I had the app for five minutes before I cancelled.
29. [R82] Heart Rate Monitor 1/5 · US Misleading In App Purchases: I signed up for a 3 day free trial and canceled before the trial ended and they are still trying to make me pay 50 dollars for a one year subscription and I have no way to reach out to developers to resolve this I’m very upset this is fraud
30. [R96] Heartify 1/5 · US Now you have to pay, if you want to use the measuring 🙄: If you don’t pay, the app is now almost useless. How greedy can you be? Now you have to pay 6.99 per month if you want to use the basic measurement feature. We give you all our data for free and now you want us to pay you to give you all our heart and movement data? Greed at its finest. I deinstalled the app. Companies like that deserve to
31. [R97] Heartify 5/5 · US Muy buena aplicación: Me gusta como me interpreta las mediciones
32. [R98] Heartify 3/5 · US Good, but: I’ve found the Heartify app to be very helpful for gathering key cardiac data. The sleep reports have provided erroneous data. Would be at least 4 stars if sleep data was correct or eliminated
33. [R101] Heartify 3/5 · US Its ok: This app is good. But I don’t like the idea of having to pay extra for premium it’s just not worth it
34. [R107] Cardiio 1/5 · US Poor signal quality?: I will watch as the app measures my heart rate and stays in a very narrow range as I hold my finger over the camera for however long. It seems perfect, but then it just says “poor signal quality” with no other explanation. The signal quality was in fact not poor as I watched the data being collected and it seemed to be very consistent throughout the entire process. I need to
35. [R108] Cardiio 5/5 · US Makes it simple!: I enjoy checking my bpm with this makes it so easy
36. [R109] Cardiio 3/5 · US I like the app but I don’t like it: You literally got to sit still no movement period or it will not register. You guys need to fix that issue.
37. [R110] Cardiio 1/5 · US Doesn’t work: Every time I used it, it measured the heart rate for quite a long time. Then, at the very end, it said “poor signal” and terminated. This is a terrible product. I deleted it, and I don’t miss it at all.
38. [R5] Instant Heart Rate 5/5 · US I think this is pretty accurate: 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.
39. [R8] Instant Heart Rate 5/5 · US Its okay I guess: The app is nice, helpful but is it really true? Either way..it has really helped me a lot in the past month and days too and pretty good anyway over all it seems pretty accurate oh and by the way can you add a iPad version please and thank you?
40. [R14] Instant Heart Rate 5/5 · US Most accurate!: 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.
41. [R1] Instant Heart Rate 1/5 · US Not Free: Not Free
42. [R21] Instant Heart Rate 3/5 · GB Not a free App!: Very limited use
43. [R32] Instant Heart Rate 2/5 · US Not at all what I thought: Mainly got this app for B/P. The app would only take my pulse
44. [R34] Instant Heart Rate 1/5 · US Finger BP?: Several of this type of health app advertise having the ability to take BP directly from a finger. Blatant false advertising and they all need to take that down. If you want BP you will have to have a BP cuff.
45. [R16] Instant Heart Rate 1/5 · US Horrible customer service: I decided to delete and they are obnoxious and offensive making it difficult to exit.
