Using Heart Tempo

Heart Tempo's three measurement styles.

Swipe between them with ease.

Heart Rate

The heart rate measurement style has been tailored for heart rate readings, including with a heart rate themed design, and information about taking your heart rate from within the app (also available below).

This style gives you the option to add your measurement straight to the Apple Health app [iPhone only].

In the history panel, your measurement shows as a heart rate scan.

Music Beat

The music beat measurement style has been tailored for music tempo scans, including with a music themed design.

This style gives you the option to add the title of the song you measured.

In the history panel, your measurement shows as a music tempo scan, with the title you added (if given).

Other

The other measurement style gives you the option to add a short description (as a title) of the beat you measured.

In the history panel, your measurement shows as an other beat scan, with the title you added (if given).

History

Heart Tempo automatically saves your measurement results to your personal and private history panel, where you can refer back to your measurements quickly and easily. You can also swipe left on any history entry to delete it.

You can access the history panel by continuing to swipe left from the Other measurement style.

Also, you can also access Heart Tempo's about & help section - where you can open this webpage, and report a bug - by pressing the "i" icon on the bottom-right of the screen.

About Heart Rates in Heart Tempo

When measuring your heart rate, make sure to start tapping out your beat as soon as the box in the middle of the screen goes red.

Heart Tempo is not for medical purposes and it is only as accurate as what you tap into the app.

Do not rely on this app for important medical purposes, or to determine whether or not to seek medical attention.

Contact a doctor if you are feeling unwell. Contact emergency services if you need urgent medical help.

Making a measurement.

In your chosen measurement style, press "Tap to begin." and get ready to tap out the beat. Once the box in the middle changes colour, start tapping the beat out in the highlighted box. Keep going until the app prompts you with your results (this takes 15 seconds), and you're done!

Results

After finishing your beat's measurements, you will be presented with the results of your measurement, along with actions you can take on it - which vary depending on which measurement style you use (see above for more info). Your result will automatically be saved to your private history panel, where you can refer back to it later.
