#16 top-grossing, Health & Fitness
Store ratings include star-only taps from in-app prompts, which skew high. The peak and recent figures come only from people who wrote a review, which skews low. Compare each against itself: the drop is the signal, and a big gap between the two usually means heavy rating prompting is masking unhappy users.

Meh
★ · v3.5.6 · Oct 9, 2026Says I’m obese. Definitely not. BMI is very outdated
Not free $10/week
★ · v3.5.6 · Oct 7, 2026The old way works just fine. $10 is too much for a small difference in convenience.
Not free
★ · v3.5.6 · Oct 4, 2026I would give it a minus rating if possible. I get really tired of seeing ads for apps that are “free” but when you download them you have to pay $9.99 per month to use them. How the hell is that free? FALSE ADVERTISING!

★ · v3.5.5 · Oct 1, 2026Says app is free is false!
Customer
★ · v3.5.5 · Sep 24, 2026Do not waste your time
Normal or not
★ · v3.5.2 · Sep 15, 2026Does not tell me if in normal rhythm or AFIB. Very disappointed
It does cost
★ · v3.5.2 · Sep 12, 2026I downloaded and was see what all it did and every feature cost you money or you can’t try it. It’s a lie.
Stay Away
★ · v3.5.2 · Sep 11, 2026Stay away from this app. It tries to trick you into upgrades. It also tricked me into subscribing for a year rather than a short trial.
ICardiac Heart Rate
★ · v3.5.2 · Sep 2, 2026Do not download this app and cancel it because you will be charged for it just like I was and you won’t be able to get your money back they will steal your money. Just like they did me. Worst app there is if they wanted to help you with your health they would do it for free anyways you already pay for your phone a month now you have to pay for an app to keep your numbers in check. Refund my money and you will get a better review
Just another scam
★★ · v3.5.2 · Sep 2, 2026Why would they say it’s absolutely free when it cost you $9.99 every week. Just another case of false advertising
Lies
★ · v3.5.2 · Aug 30, 2026This is a lie it’s not free and is wrong on readings 8 times out of 10 when crossed reference with a actual diagnostic. Not to be relied upon so why pay for it???
Totally free for only 40$ a month!
★★ · v3.5.2 · Aug 29, 2026When they say “totally free” they mean 10$ a week. I know they sound so much alike, it’s easy to confuse the two things. Perhaps they need an accountant to explain the difference to them. With groceries at 300$ a week and gasoline at 150$ a month, totally free just costs a bit much for me right now.
It’s Not free !!!
★ · v3.5.1 · Aug 22, 2026Download is free. But you need pay for service 😒😒😒😒
DECEPTIVE - NO Intelligent Device like an iPhone can measure Blood Pressure!
★ · v3.5.0 · Aug 16, 2026There is no intelligent device that can read blood pressure. This app allows you to manually enter the results you obtained from a regular blood pressure cuff!
ITS NOT FREE LIKE ADVERTISED!
★ · v3.5.0 · Aug 14, 2026The advertising states that it’s absolutely FREE! Well it’s not!!! FRAUDULENT!!!
Blood pressure app
★ · v3.4.2 · Aug 11, 2026The apps not free you have to pay 9.99 to check anything
Free
★ · v3.4.2 · Aug 9, 2026A lie. A lie
Not free
★ · v3.4.2 · Aug 9, 2026Not free
Disappointed
★ · v3.4.2 · Aug 8, 2026It says is free but you have to pay for it so they lie to get you to get it
Not clear about charges
★ · v3.4.2 · Aug 1, 2026This app charges by the week and they don’t say that upfront even when you cancel the subscription. I don’t recommend it.
No
★ · v3.4.2 · Jul 29, 2026Don’t waste your time downloading or your money
Horrible
★ · v3.4.2 · Jul 22, 2026False advertisement
Not free
★ · v3.4.2 · Jul 17, 2026You said it was free yet after entering my information the next screen said it was 9.99.
Jo Jo
★ · v3.4.2 · Jul 13, 2026Free to download but $15.99 a week charge 🤬🤬🤬🤬
