Summary
The app receives overwhelmingly negative feedback, primarily due to severe compatibility issues with the new iPhone 17 series, particularly related to its multi-lens camera system and flashlight placement. Many users report being subjected to predatory billing practices, including unexpected charges after free trials and expensive auto-renewals. Furthermore, mandatory account creation and permissions like notifications are a significant source of frustration for users who found these unnecessary and intrusive. While a few users praise its ease of use, common complaints also include inconsistent heart rate measurements, lack of data retention, and general app bugs, such as low heart rate reading failures and flash control problems on older iPhone models.
