How to use the heart rate monitor free app to measure your heartbeat?
To use this heart rate monitor app, just put your finger on the phone's camera and stay still, the heart rate should be shown after several seconds.
What is a normal heart rate or heartbeat?
According to Mayo Clinic, the normal resting heartbeat rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute (BPM). However, keep in mind that many factors can influence the heart rate, including activity level, fitness level, body size, emotions, etc. Generally, a lower heartbeat at rest implies more efficient heart function and better cardiovascular fitness.
Consult your doctor if your resting heartbeat is consistently above 100 beats per minute or if you're not a trained athlete and your resting heartbeat is below 60 beats a minute.
What are heart rate training zones?
Heart rate training zones are calculated using maximum heart Rate (MaxHR). Within each training zone, subtle physiological effects take place to enhance your fitness. We have a similar definition to those used in Fitbit trackers:
- REST ZONE (up to 50% HRmax): This considers a resting zone.
- FAT BURN ZONE (50 to 70% of maximum): Recovery and warming-up exercises should be completed in this zone. It’s called the fat burn zone because a higher percentage of calories are burnt from fat.
- CARDIO ZONE (70% to 85% of HRmax): Most of the main exercises should be completed in this zone.
- PEAK ZONE (greater than 85% of HRmax): This zone is ideal for short intense sessions (high-intensity interval training HIIT) to improve performance and speed.
This heart rate monitor app calculates and automatically saves your heart rate training zones.

Ratings and Reviews
Suprisingly works
I have an actual heart rate monitor as I am a medical student, I used the machine and then this app and the results were the same, this is a great way to monitor yourself if don’t have access to the actual equipment, would definitely recommend

Thank you so much for 5 start feedback! Your endorsement means a lot to us.
Accurate (Sort Of)
So basically I was just on the App Store and found this app, I decided to download it to test it. What I done was I used my Apple Watches heart rate sensor to see how accurate it was. My apple Watch was showing 76 bpm and the app was showing 80 bpm. I'm not sure if it is making up numbers but if not, this could be used as an alternative heart rate sensor. But personally I would not recommend using it daily. I would personally only use this for fun. If you do need a heart rate sensor that is an 100% real heart rate sensor, I would go for either a FitBit or an Apple Watch (Or any other trustable brands). So if you wanna try it for yourself, go download it. I wouldn't recommend this for daily use however. 😁

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback. We don't consider a 4bpm difference to be significant, as heart rate can naturally fluctuate by this amount within a minute. However, for more accurate measurements, we recommend resting for 5 minutes before taking your reading. Additionally, please ensure that you stay still while covering the camera with your index finger.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Best regards,
It’s clunky
I tried it multiple times to check if my heart rate was normal because I have anxiety and want to check every now and then. Each time I check I get absolutely bamboozled at the results I get and I make sure I do it properly each time. It’s giving me results like 36-57 while other ones give me a more respectable number like 70-80 so I don’t really know what’s wrong with this app if it’s giving me this low numbers while others don’t do the same. I personally wouldn’t recommend this if you really need an accurate reading for self assurance.

Thank you for trying out the app and sharing your feedback.
In some cases, the app may exactly halve the readings. For example, your heart rate could be 70bpm, but the app shows 35bpm. To improve accuracy, please increase the "Sensitivity" in the app's settings.
This should resolve the issue. If you have any further questions, please contact us. We're happy to help.
