So disappointed in the changes made to this app. I've used it for years now and it's been the best, until recently. Besides having to log in, the most recent update has made the app inaccurate and now takes ages to find a rhythm. The little heart icon that used to blink in sync with yours, which was convenient because it gave a visual to show accuracy, was helpful if you were checking your pulse along with the app is gone. The auto start is kind of annoying too. Cardiograph>Instant Heart Rate.

This has been one of my favorite apps for years but I'm not creating an account (now required) just to take my pulse. One reviewer pointed out they got rid of the pulse animation that syncs up with your heartbeat. That was how I would check to make sure the app is accurate on a certain phone! I would verify that it's gone... But that would require creating a login.

Not a happy camper at all. The light does not burn my finger but I've been using this app for years and now it appears all my data has disappeared. They also changed to a graph Style the track your heartbeat readings and the old one was much better in my opinion. Sadly I have to go find another one now as I've lost years of data here. I almost forgot, they now play Loud ads for 30 seconds. Not real helpful if you're in bed with somebody or want to measure late at night and other people are aroun
