How healthy is your heart? this app may be able to help you answer that question. What does it do? It reads your pulse and tells you how high (or low) your heart rate is. Don't be put off by the one displayed, I have a strangely fast heart beat. Even when I'm sleeping, it's beating quickly. That's just me. This application actually reads your beats per minute very accurately. Much better than the pulse reader on my stationary bike. And we paid a lot of money for that.Just press the "Measure" button and gently press your index finger against your back camera on your phone. Keep it still. Stay calm and breath normally. It will take a moment for it to get a good reading. It will let you know when it is done.
It will then present you with your heart rate along with a chart to show how healthy that rate is. Please note that there are multiple pages here. Side swipe to access the other information provided for you.It will give you more information about what the numbers mean and where you should be. This information can be accessed later if you like by clicking the Training tab. However, if you re-measure your heart rate, this information will update to fit your new reading.
There is a "Curve" chart, which could be very useful to you if you would like to track your heart rate through out your day to day life. However, this option is only available for the one time fee of 99 cents. I opted not to purchase this, but it does show a nice sample to give you an idea on how this might look, should you choose to use it. If you are very health conscious or suffer from certain heart related ailments, this tracking method might be a good idea for you. The price is not too bad. I would say it's reasonable.If you select the More tab you have two options, User and Buddies. User allows you to fill in any personal information about yourself. Gender, birth date, height, weight and what not. You will always be an anonymous user unless you register online. However, this information will always be there for you to review or change on your phone.
You can also invite friends to download the application. In which case you can add them to your buddy list and track one another's heart rates. This also requires registration, however.
I like this application. It's useful and serves a purpose. the reading is accurate and it is free (For the most part). I certainly approve. If you are looking for a free heart rate application, I would suggest giving this one a try.
