With this app, you can measure the heart rate easily. After tapping "start button", the average heart rate will be displayed in the uppermost frame by tapping "heart button" at every one beat. The heart rate about last one beat will be displayed in the second frame from the top. In the measurement of exercise intensity (add-on), the screen change to the dark and the exercise intensity will be displayed in the second frame from the top. Karvonen method — the exercise intensity take 0% for the resting heart rate, take 100% for the maximum heart rate. Zero to peak method — the exercise intensity take 0% for 0 bpm heart rate, take 100% for the maximum heart rate. *The default values of the resting heart rate and the exercise intensity from age and sex should only be considered as a guide.

Good, but needs a tweak.

Best-designed "tap" heart rate monitor out there. The tap method (as opposed to the iPhone camera methods) is good if you're listening with a stethoscope, especially with pets and kids.My only gripe with the app is how the average is calculated: it takes into account the time leading up to the current "beat", so the average is always falling. This is ok if you can keep your eye on the app while listening to a pulse, but if you need to look away from the phone while taking a pulse (moving kids/pets aren't always easy!), it will be tough to get an accurate reading.I suggest you add an option to take an average by including the previous beat duration in the average, which would eliminate the average constantly dropping between beats. That's how other heart rate apps are, and it'd be cool if your app could do both methods!I'd change my review to 5-star if that happened, for sure!

Absolutely NO instructions on HOW this app works. And I’m certainly not about to pay money to get info. Rating- No stars. Removing from phone.
