About this app

Monitor your Heart Rate and improve your Cardiorespiratory Coherence with the Breathing Guide.

Why is this important to you?

REDUCE STRESS, IMPROVE PERFORMANCES, BE PREPARED FOR ACTION

Slow breathing exercises, performed with a breathing cycle of 10s (cardiorespiratory resonance frequency), have been shown to help reduce stress, improve performances and make you feel more relaxed and ready for action. But how do you know you are actually doing your breathing exercise well?

ARE YOU DOING WELL?

HeartRate+ Coherence PRO is the first application which includes a breathing guide and measures how well you are doing the breathing exercise via monitoring your heart rate variability (HRV) and showing the level of cardiorespiratory coherence that you have reached.

HeartRate+ Coherence PRO detects the heart rate via Bluetooth external devices or via the device's camera.

Ratings and reviews

Functionally is decent, but the misleading app purchases is what's making me give a low score. After paying over $10 for the app to work with Bluetooth, they then reveal that you have to pay extra for each little feature. You'd think for $10 you could include full features, but making it misleading is even worse. There are better options for the price.

I like this app and use it daily for issues related to Chronic Fatigue. It helps me to reduce my heart rate when it gets a little high as well as helps me feel calmer. I use it both with a Bluetooth chest heart rate strap (PowrLabs) as well as the camera on my Samsung S8 and both work pretty well, although when my fingers are cold has a hard time finding my heart rate. I'm okay with the cost of the app because I can't find another app like this and it's not a monthly fee like many apps are doing

I give this app two stars because it is a good idea. But, I really did not like the pay scheme. Everything works for a minute then shuts off. You then have to pay a lot...not for the entire app, but for each element of the app, i.e. sound, image, graph, etc. These aren't 'in-app' purchases. These are purchases to get the app to work. Beyond that, I turned on the monitor and held the camera light against my wall and somehow the app was picking up a heartbeat and giving me a resonance reading!
