Android app review: Instant Heart Rate

Submitted by Khalid on Fri, 2010/10/01 - 00:29

An apparently useful application for Android is Instant Heart Rate, which can be installed from the Android Market.

What it does is measure your heart rate using the built-in camera of the phone.

On my Motorola Milestone, there was a serious flaw though. Once you use the Instant Heart Rate app, the camera's brightness will be totally off: all your pictures will be severely overexposed (all white).

A reboot of the phone solves this problem. Inconvenient when you have something running in the background such as a GPS tracking application or instant messenger sessions.

For now, I uninstalled this application.

I tried that heart app also and it did just the opposite on my phone. I know my heartrate but now all of the pictures I take are dark and fuzzy. Sucks to. It was a new phone
