Heart Beat Rate Monitor 1.1.0.0
For those who want to keep a close eye on their heart rate and analyze long-term statistics based on records they can make themselves a tool like Heart Beat Rate Monitor could be just what the doctor ordered.
Simple GUI, oriented more towards function rather than form
This application has a pretty well organized interface, with all the functions easy to reach. The looks are decent, without any elements that would stand out as visually appealing.
The charts have a rather common appearance, while the virtual electrocardiogram is also as simple as it can get. Both of these are displayed only in landscape mode and there is plenty of information shown, though, with a very high refresh rate.
Equally prompt in sowing up are the advertisements that come in various shapes and sizes, sometimes as animated banners and in other cases they will go full screen.
Heart rate tracker, with detailed graphs
Heart Beat Rate Monitor displays the live data as it is picked up by the phone's sensors while you hold the device firmly or balance it with one finger.
The readings an automatically interpreted by the app, which makes some kind of calculations that lead it to display the values on screen with virtually no delays.
To analyze the recorded data, you have at your disposal a series of charts with all the readings grouped by hour, day and month.
Health advice and an extra calculator
More like a sort of bonus, this application provides a handful of tips for healthy living and keeping your heart and whole body free of stress and excess of substances that can be bad for your wellbeing.
A built-in Body Mass Index (BMI) calculator awaits you to input your weight and height to see under which category you fit. However, you should check the categorization after viewing the results because the app may display the wrong category, even if it calculates correctly the BMI value.

Bottom Line
Design / UI6
The looks are not the strongest point of this app, as very few elements seem to have been designed with extra care. Instead, the huge amount of advertisements shown inside the interface and in full screen makes it lose a lot of points. |
Function8
The utility comes with an interesting approach to measuring the heart rate and some fun extras, but you cannot rely on the results it shows, as it cannot be as accurate as a real medical instrument. |
Security7
For no good reason this application will need to access the owner identity and the phone dialer, as well as other system components. |
Battery8
Heart Beat Rate Monitor has a fairly good power consumption that translates into a moderate battery usage. |
Price8
For a fun tool, this app is quite nice, but you should take with a grain of salt the results it provides as a medical device, because it simply cannot offer the accuracy of professional tools. |
Compatibility8
Those who have a Windows Phone 8 or above handset will be able to install and use this app. |
