Anyone use this free app? It uses the camera on you iPhone or iPad to measure your heart rate. Wonder how accurate it is? Probably not very.

    I'd be dubious! X
  • I actually just used one (but it's not a free app), I compared it with the heart rate calculator on my stationary bike and they both showed the same numbers.

    Wait, what? I'm on my iPad, I'll be right back :)


    Okay, it says my Rhr is like 60. When I count it myself I get 76. It actually got as low as 49 and congratulated me. Lol.

    I have a HRM and this app. I've found sometimes it can be spot on and other times its completely way off.
