runtastic Heart Rate - Measure Your Heart Rate On Your iPhone / Android

Did you know you can measure your heart rate on your iPhone! Well you can. I've been a fan of the app Instant Heart Rate by Azumio, but it's been a while since any update or new feature and improvements and the app doesn't even support the iPhone 5's taller screen...

Recently I found this app Heart Rate by runtastic and it may very quickly become my new favourite heart rate measuring tool.


To measure your heart rate just place you finger lightly over your phones camera and light. The measurement is fast and seems accurate.

The app looks cool and has some nice animations.

But the real nice thing about this app is the history feature and the way you can save your measurements.

When saving your result you have the options of selecting a category from either: General, Resting, Before Sport, After Sport and Max (During Sport). You can also select how you are feeling and add a note. 

In 'History', you're shown a graph and you can sort though the categories to only see results for example; when you were exercising, or maybe only when you were resting - so you can get an idea of your averages in each category.  

If you want to get social with your heart rate measurements you can upload to runtastic.com, email, or share on social network sites Facebook and Twitter.

While this is not a medical product (and should not be used as one) and this may not be one hundred percent accurate, it's a cool fitness app and a fun way to measure and keep track of your heart rate.
