HeartPeace - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

HeartPeace helps you to meditate by providing real-time feedback about your inner peace.

The feedback is provided by measuring your cardiac coherence using heart rate variability analysis algorithms that determine your parasympathetic vs sympathetic nervous system activation. Therefore, a heart rate monitor is required.

You can use the back camera as a heart rate monitor but it's recommended to use a BLE heart rate monitor because they are more accurate, allow more freedom of movement, work while the screen is turned off and consume less battery. More info about compatible monitors in settings.

The feedback is given by displaying an animation that resembles your inner state. The more inner peace, the bigger, slower, and blueish the animation will be.

Feedback is also presented using sounds so headphones are recommended, if you have low inner peace you will hear a crowd sound but if your inner peace is high you will hear monks meditating and deep sounds.

To better focus on breathing is advised to sit down, use headphones, and close your eyes to minimize distractions.

The app has option to integrate with the Health app by storing sessions as mindfulness sessions.

Note:
——————————————————

You can select in preferences the back camera to measure heart rate from your finger. Place your finger gently over the back camera and flash and try not to move it much.

Although the camera heart rate monitor works fine it's recommended to use a BLE heart rate monitor because it's more accurate, allows more freedom of movement, consumes less battery, and works while the screen is turned off.

Only heart rate monitors that accurately measure R-R intervals and have Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE) are supported.

Evidence?

Instead of HRV It uses something called a HeartPeace score, which seems to be proprietary and undocumented. Apparently based on how your heart rate matches deep breathing. If there were some documented evidence of its usefulness I would be more satisfied with it.

Finding peace with help of this app

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work as well with iPhone 15 Pro as it did with iPhone X using finger. I tried and tried, and will have to wait til I'm home with my HRM strap to try that instead. Thank you!

Great

Love it. More fun than hrv breathing apps

Best HRV app

Great app as it measures HRV but therapeutic as well!!

So cool!

Will definitely help w meditation practice

Best HRV Training Biofeedback app for the polar strap

Love this. Please continue developing. Will pay monthly recurring fee.

Fun and inspiring

I can't believe how much fun this app is and what a great deal it is. Using a HRM I already own, I'm quickly learning to calm my body and mind with this simple but powerful app. Highly recommend.

One of the best apps I’ve ever used

For anybody looking for an app to help them relax, improve their heart rate variability, or help them get into meditation when they haven’t been able to do it before, this is the one for you. This app is so much simpler than virtually any other biofeedback app I’ve ever used, and yet it is one of the best apps on my phone. I have achieved easily double the HRV score with this app that I do with others. The app provides most of the functionality for free, and the premium upgrade is a one time 7 dollar charge. This is orders of magnitude cheaper than other apps that I use that are far less useful. I would, in fact, happily pay seven dollars a month for this app! Thank you so much for making it. I’m sorry that it hasn’t been widely adopted, but you have really helped me to find a way to relax myself in just a couple minutes throughout the day. I’ve never found meditation to be helpful, and I’ve never been able to get into it. But this app is engaging from the very beginning simply because of the interactivity and the immediate feedback you get from your HRV score.

Awesome

I love this app . It’s the best camera based biofeedback app for achieving heart coherence. Love the biofeedback animations

Great app!

I love the biofeedback with swirling colors. My only wish would be for more options for sound and display effects This is an excellent app to help improve meditation and heart peace
