Cardiograph

Calculate your heart rate, save multiple profiles and results
It's always best to eat healthy and exercise. In addition to that, people should also keep an eye on their healthy. Instead of purchasing actual cardiographs, why not install an app that uses your phone's sensors to give you an approximation of your heart rate during all sorts of activities. Keep track of rates by saving them in the app.

Sleek but simplistic UI

The app doesn't need instructions of use, you'll get the hang of it in a matter of seconds. The interface is pretty sleek, displaying all tools on the top of the screen together with banner ads at the bottom. There are settings under the 'hamburger' icon and the option to send an email to developers stating your regards towards the app. Other apps are advertised, you can open the link and download them instantly and for free.

Monitor your heart rates with this app

In order to calculate your heart rate, simply place your finger on the back camera of your phone and tap on the start icon. The app uses your device's sensors to detect the heart rate and displays information in the rhythm and beats per minute. There's the option of enabling sounds that resemble actual cardiographs or switch read camera to front. Also, the app autostops when a reading is completed.

Create as many profiles as you wish

The app features great animation to make it easier to visualize your pulse. Each reading is recorded under your profile and you can add an activity icon for an estimate of your heart rate when resting, warming up, doing cardio exercises or other tiresome activities.

You can save as many profiles as you wish, but can't add notes or comments to entries. Still the app displays a whole history of your readings and you can share the app on social networks. You can't set a password to your profile, to protect data.

In addition, it doesn't provide thresholds of heart rates, to inform users if their pulse is too high and might need to see a doctor. Users shouldn't rely too much on these readings, since the app can't replace actual cardiographs.

Editor's Review
VERY GOOD

A neat app for calculating your heart rate, but it's not very accurate.
