Heart Rate: Heart Rate Monitor

What the app tracks and who it suits

Heart Rate: Heart Rate Monitor is a pulse-reading app that also keeps a log of other health numbers. The listing presents it as a way to check heart rate without professional equipment and to keep the results in one place.

It is described for people who want to watch their pulse over the course of a day, and for people who train and need a target range.

Measuring pulse and building a heart rate history

According to the listing, a reading takes a few seconds. Past readings are kept as a history, which the app shows as graphs and statistics. Data can also be saved to the cloud.

The developer suggests checking several times a day, for example after waking up and before bed, to see how the number changes through the day.

Filtering readings with tags and sharing reports

You can add tags to readings and use the filter function to look only at data recorded under those conditions. The listing says the reports take different body statuses into account.

Reports can be shared, printed, or sent to doctors, according to the listing.

Logging blood pressure, blood sugar and BMI with pulse

The listing names heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar, BMI and cholesterol as values the tracker covers, with further measures included under "and more." These sit in the same tracker as heart rate rather than in separate apps.

Target heart rate and maximum zone for training

The app gives a target heart rate and a maximum zone for training. The listing presents this for people exercising who want their pulse kept within a set range.
