InPulse - Heart Rate Monitor
gamed ratingPromises to measure blood pressure and pulse with the phone camera, but per reviews it doesn't work, readings are random and inflated. It forcibly charges a yearly subscription right after a supposedly free three day trial, and everything free turns out to be paid.

About the rating
A huge gap between the 4.64 store rating and the 2.61 text average, and reviews plainly say all the bad reviews somehow show five stars. The app claims to measure blood pressure with a camera and finger without a cuff, which is physically impossible, readings are random.
