bleah – Cardiograph Classic Review

HORRIBLE Forgot I tried this last time it appeared on Apps Gone Free. At best it was extremely inconsistent re when it would take a measurement. To be fair, this was on my iPad mini. Now it failed to take a measurement on the first try, stating there was not enough light. mPossible remedies: more light & try not pressing down as much on the camera. The app uses the selfie camera by default. mIt suggested switching to the other camera, which was not possible. Moving the iPad just below a bright light fixture and the app started then quit after one beat cycle. Adjusting the finger used or pressure to super light over the lens was not a solution. The app then immediately offers an improved upgrade, which when you click on, migrates to the App Store with a 1.99 price tag. Recalling the first go around a few years ago, I downloads 2 apps that went free about the same time: this one was faster (about 15 sec) vs 60, though frustratingly inconsistent for when it would take a measurement. The other Cardio, worked every time and one did not have to hold a finger over the lense, rather hold the dp selfie camera in front of your face,mad just until it says hold still, and accurate measurement results (I compare it before and after measurements at different doc offices and the automated machines in drug stores). Note: as it takes the measurement ignore both the displays rate and the EKG like heartbeat strip, as they are both nonsense - but the final result is accurate.
