Contact Heart Rate Pro Health Monitor Support

by SFX95901

you expect and you NEED any app that claims any health-related function, especially one that measures a critical vital sign such as heart rate to be accurate and repeatable.

This app simply fails on both accounts.
However, it is ONLY because I know what my heart rate normally is (I use blood pressure monitoring equipment 4 times per day which tells me, that I knew that when I saw a heart rate of 78 - it could not be accurate. So I repeated the measurement several times over and over again, using my fingertips - then different spots including my wrist, too if hand, forehead... And no two readings were even closely repeatable. Only two of the dozen or so readings were close to the actual value of 98, but I got many readings ranging from 68, several in the 70s, and several in the 80s.

By returning these slower rates, it would easily miss what might be life-threatening tachycardia and the complete lack of accuracy and repeatability makes it useless for even routine monitoring.

Not only can I not recommend it, but I must also warn people away from it.

I’ve tried this app for several days now with multiple finger positions and no matter what I try it simply doesn’t work on a regular basis. Occasionally I can get an accurate reading but more often than not it is wrong. Not just a little but a lot. For example, this morning I had three readings saying my HR was in the eighties. When I checked it with my Apple Watch it was more like 50-55 (my HR is often on the low side). I will be deleting this app and wishing I had my 2 bucks back. BTW-I almost never write reviews, good or bad, so please trust me and look elsewhere if you want a real, trustworthy HR app.

Resting heart rate seemed believable although it jumps all over the place while taking reading. Active rate is way off. Immediately after a run it showed 91, then I checked manually and it was 110. My pulse drops quickly after finishing an activity so I wanted something to get a reading faster then palpating. This gives you a value fairly quickly but it always reads low and varies wildly. At the gym this always reads 10-30 bpm slower than the monitors on the machines.
I paid to have ads removed after getting a few believable resting heart rates, before checking it during and after activity. For anything other than sitting still on the couch it is worthless, and now I doubt the resting heart rate as well.
