Latest reviews of myPulse Lite - Instant Heart Rate Monitor app for iPhone and iPad
Ne semble pas marcher avec iPhone 6s.
Amazingly this app works! I felt my own pulse at the same time and it was dead on. Very happy!
I downloaded it today it in order to do some cardio experimenting at the gym tonight, because most of our cardio equipments built-in heart meters either dont work at all, or blatantly lie e.g. its 200bpm one minute and 60bpm the next. Ive just uninstalled it for a few reasons. Problem #1: Its VERY sensitive about finger placement AND pressure on the camera lens when it comes to getting a steady and uninterrupted hb read. Sounds easy enough when youre just testing it at home, but its a totally different matter if you are in the middle of an strenuous heart-rate training session. Can you even imagine running at 8+ mph holding on to your phone? Problem #2: Its closely related to problem #1. Anyone with half a brain will buy a protective case for their iPhone ASAP unless they feel like cracking the glass well within the first 6 months (iPhones with glass on both sides such as 4 and newer being particularly notorious for this). Robust cases usually have good camera openings, but my casemate case isnt helping with finger placement onto the camera as required by the app. Problem #3: I suppose there was no other way, but the bright light next to the rear camera is pretty harsh on battery life, and this app depends on it. All in all, I really love the idea and the concept of this app, but its a no-go for me, or anyone else that wants a dedicated heart rate meter.
Seems to be pretty close and much faster than me calculating for myself. :)
If the developer of this app were to maintain & fix the bugs in this app, this app could be totally useful. This app not only features a continuous heart rate, but also a continuous "% of Intensity Rate" specific to the user; it all looked very promising... However, it only worked while I was stationary in bed. After I got out of the bed, it started to pause and quit working totally after I walked a few short steps. Not even being completely motionless or restarting the app prompted any life sign from this app. (I was just beginning to feel the "wow", as the "% of Intensity Rate" varied as my heart rate increases with each step...). What a let-down.
