Heartica: Heart Rate Monitor
gamed ratingHeartica claims to read blood pressure and even blood sugar through the phone camera, but people report only the pulse actually works and the rest has to be typed in by hand. Many are met by a purchase screen that won't close and charges despite the promise not to bill. The pulse is handy for some, but most of the advertised features aren't really there.
