  1. [R2] Welltory 5/5 · US Good product: Just checking to see if it was accurate. It was. It recognized that I was in Afib.
  2. [R5] Welltory 5/5 · US Knowledge is power.: Knowledge of our own engine is survival.
  3. [R6] 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.
  4. [R8] Welltory 5/5 · US Get this app!: It’s so amazing and insightful! So happy I found it!
  5. [R3] Welltory 3/5 · US Accuracy?: I’ve had this app for quite a while now . I don’t really feel it’s necessarily accurate a lot of the times. For instance, it tells me that I’m under huge stress when I’m taking a nap in my own bed at home as usual…
  6. [R16] Welltory 1/5 · US scam: I would have given you -4 stars if I could. You guys put stuff on this app that I did not do but you say I did?? Very not worth even trying this app!
  7. [R26] Welltory 4/5 · US Loving This Visual: I really like this app, provides a visual of my day to day stress. I feel like any movement puts me in stress mode but the factors & numbers remain true. Some of the areas a I don’t understand what they mean the colors are visual too. However it direct really tell you what or how to improve for better results and if it dies then where is that information.
  8. [R1] 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
  9. [R15] Welltory 3/5 · US Too much: This app collects too much information and is too much of an invasion of my privacy. The information is too overwhelming to be useful.
  10. [R17] Welltory 4/5 · US Great Information But…: This is a really phenomenal app for helping measure health statistics, but the presentation can be a little overwhelming. There’s a lot of information isn’t always as well organized as hoped for. There’s a lot of requests to pay for the permanent membership. Real time HRV alerts would be great.
  11. [R9] Welltory 3/5 · US Voracious Ads - Even with Premium: I like so many things about this app, but even with a monthly or yearly Premium subscription it is still constantly pushing me ads to buy Premium. Every, single, time I open the app the first screen is why a lifetime membership is best or here’s a promo for 50% off. Even after closing that, a banner to upgrade always lives at the bottom of the app. I have premium
  12. [R12] Welltory 3/5 · US Expensive: This is an expense app for premium and it still has a TON of ads trying to get you to upgrade. Super annoying. Hard to follow the information because there is so much data to try to navigate.
  13. [R19] Welltory 2/5 · US I would love this app but there’s so many pop up ADs even after paying for it.: I would love this app but there’s so many pop up ADs even after paying for it.
  14. [R4] Welltory 1/5 · US I wish I could give negative stars: You’ll only deal with AI assistants if you subscribe or not. Don’t bother because you’ll go around and around and not resolve a thing. So disappointing!
  15. [R7] Welltory 1/5 · US Can’t cancel: Trying to cancel and it doesn’t let you. Go to help center and it won’t with the conversation to get anywhere.
  16. [R22] Welltory 1/5 · US I want to cancel-no place to do so!: I have wasted an hour trying to find a way to cancel my subscription. This is ridiculous. Put a button somewhere in the app to do this. Why does it take 21 days for you to cancel after receiving an email to cancel.
  17. [R33] Welltory 3/5 · US Needs better organization: The idea of the app is great, but there’s way too information that makes it’s hard to sift through it all. It needs to be more organized, easier and more succinct to navigate through . Paragraphs of info to sift through are not helpful and I often stop halfway through. Some of the heart rate and stress info is contradictory, “hey, you’re doing great” in one area follo
  18. [R34] Welltory 1/5 · US Beware: I’m very healthy and active and this app is attempting to mislead me into believing that there’s something wrong with me that I need to subscribe to their annual fee to figure it out and save my life! That is incredibly offputting and irresponsible They are trying to put the fear of God into me and that is completely unacceptable This app is going to be uninstalled immediately after writ
  19. [R42] Welltory 3/5 · US Good app but better if you make premium affordable!: The $119.00 charge for premium is way too steep particularly without a free trial period of the premium features. If you were to change to a monthly $9.99 option I’d participate but I’ll stick with the basic plan forever or delete the app if it’s not helpful enough as long as it stays at the current rate of a $119 immediate charge.
  20. [R55] Welltory 1/5 · US I’m Out.: I enjoy this app enough to have subscribed for $100 per year. But its users, including me, have complained about the incessant upselling. The app’s developers know that it bothers the users enough to have created a fake setting in the app to make it stop. It doesn’t work. Today I logged in again, and the first thing i see is an offer. I didn’t even make it to the part about my data. Such
  21. [R57] Welltory 3/5 · GB Interesting data but stop pushing lifetime membership ads!: As someone who has already paid for a premium annual membership, the constant push to upgrade for lifetime membership is ruining the experience. Consider reducing the frequency or format of those ads. Other than that the data is great. I would love to see more aggregated data such as fat burned in total each day and overtime etc
  22. [R79] Heartify 1/5 · US Not real: I put a red cup on my camera It took a few seconds and then It started measuring a heart rate tree even tho it was a cup. I think this app should be deleted cause some people might have gone to the hospital thinking they have problem but waisted time because of this app!
  23. [R82] Heartify 1/5 · US Doesn’t Work: I was with my doctor testing this app out along side an Oximeter. Takes about a minute of holding your finger to the camera to get a final reading, while the oximeter is instantaneous. I held my finger there while I watched the oximeter. After it was done taking my reading it said my BPM was 86. The oximeter had my BPM at 122. It was 122 the whole time. So if the heart rate is inacc
  24. [R97] Heartify 1/5 · US Very innacurate: My Apple Watch was showing a Resting heart rate of 86 while the heart rate monitor was showing 85, meanwhile this app was showing 103…. This app is very very inaccurate.
  25. [R119] Heartify 1/5 · US NOT ACCURATE: The app is super inaccurate. Apple Watch is much better if you want to take your BPM and other health metrics
  26. [R64] 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
  27. [R68] Heartify 4/5 · US Good app: It’s a good app! It works as far as I know, but I was taking the heart risk quiz and it asked me for me blood pressure and it said something along the lines of “your blood pressure should be above this quiz,” and when I went to check it so I could check my risk of heart disease, it was locked behind a paywall. I understand that it takes a lot of work to develop things like this, but if y
  28. [R85] Heartify 1/5 · US Misleading: There appears to be only options that charge a weekly, monthly or annual fee. A simple free option appears to not exist.
  29. [R88] Heartify 1/5 · US Too greedy: Just using phone flash too is not free. I’d rather feel pulse and count for 15secs.
