Review momentum
ⓘ How we measure thisReview momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
What users say about Camera Heart Rate Variability
From the 30 most recent App Store reviews in the US.
Users report frequent crashes, export failures, and persistent 'poor signal quality' errors that prevent HRV measurement. While some praise the app's potential accuracy compared to chest straps, many find it unusable due to bugs and a lack of clear interpretation for health metrics.
Mixed (30% of recent reviews give 4–5 stars). People like it for its features and content, and being easy to use. The main complaints are about crashes and bugs, and price and subscriptions. Recent reviews are more negative than earlier ones.
What people like
- Features & content: “Now, for whatever reason, the other features work as well”
- Ease of use: “If you are serious about measuring you HRV and want it to be easy and accurate, you need this”
- Speed & performance: “Training Aid for a Winning Performance”
- Updates: “The new version is a HUGE improvement in signal acquisition”
Common complaints
- Crashes & bugs: “Doesn’t work, never gets good data”
- Price & subscription: “I'd give it more stars if I could get a refund!”
- Design: “New re-design crashes every time I am in the middle of a read”
- Updates: “It never worked from the day I got it, even after multiple updates”
About Camera Heart Rate Variability
Camera HRV uses a technique called photoplethysmography (PPG for short), which consists in detecting changes in blood volume during a cardiac cycle, by illuminating the skin and measuring changes in light absorption. PPG has become quite a popular non-invasive method for extracting physiological measurements such as heart rate and oxygen saturation. However, most applications today focus simply on heart rate or respiration rate.
Supported devices for the camera measurement: iPhones 5, 5S, 6, 6S, 6+, 6S+, SE, 7, 7+, 8, 8+, X, XS, XS Max, XR, 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max, 12 mini, 12, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max, 13 mini, 13, 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max
Camera HRV can assess cardiac autonomic regulation through quantification of sinus rhythm variability. Since HRV aims at quantifying autonomic regulations, it can be used as marker of sympathetic or parasympathetic predominance, and therefore become relevant in many applications. In athletes for example heavy training is responsible for shifting the cardiac autonomic balance toward a predominance of the sympathetic over the parasympathetic drive, and HRV analysis attempts to quantify this shift.
Other applications span from stress monitoring, assessment of pathological conditions and even emotional regulation during financial decision-making.
Main Features:
- extracts, plots, stores and exports heart rate, rr-intervals, time and frequency domain heart rate variability features (AVNN, SDNN, rMSSD, pNN50, LF, HF, LF/HF)
- configurable time window for feature extraction (30 seconds to 5 minutes)
- automatic RR-interval correction
- event annotation
- comparison between up to 3 recordings lets you get a better understanding of autonomic regulation and sympathetic/parasympathetic activity under different contexts in a glance
- data export/storage on iTunes and Dropbox (csv format, exports heart rates, rr intervals, events and computed features). Data export needs to be performed from the history -> recording view, by clicking on the export button (bottom left).
- integration with the Health app (writes Heart Rate and Heart Rate Variability)
