Stress Check by Azumio - Lite

Barely lets me open the app before it kicks me off Would give 0 stars if that was an option     Crashes

Not reliable Doesnt work well at all     Doesnt work Try 247

Will tell you most of the time that you are stressed because it takes so long to tell you that it stresses you out     Bad

Using the app to check stress while exercising and sometimes hit 70 level                 Workouts

I got 20 and it said I was extreme        Kinda accurate

I took this during a panic attack seriously and it showed 2 stress Theres no way thats true It felt like i was radiating stress across the room     Fake

For the most part CarDiac Traffic is really popular but occasionally youll get a rather vocal individual who complains about it I think this is mainly because people dont really understand how you use CarDiac Traffic They think itll tell you some secret overlooked route that will allow you to get to work a halfhour early It doesnt do that Its job is to get you to where you want to go with the least amount of traffic and stress it does not guarantee no traffic Setting up CarDiac Traffic for you daily routine is easy Actually its simplicity is one of the perks You dont have to go through a lot of hoops to get it started Basically all you have to do is turn your smart phone on and position it on the dashboard or your mount if you have one with the camera directed towards your heart Of course you do have to have prerecorded your default route and your HRV baseline but once thats saved all you really do need to do is activate the app though the app does recommend one record a new baseline every month to remain accurate and drive A drawback is having to sit through the obligatory ad that precedes the app booting up but without those ads we wouldnt get our rewards more on those later Even for new users some of the app is familiar You drive along with a little dot indicating your location on your preselected route like Google Maps When you come across traffic the severity of the traffic is indicated by it either being green orange or red What makes the app different is the fact that these traffic areas will have a highlight ranging from light gray to pitch black The shade of the highlight indicates the amount of stress people in that traffic are feeling Some people wonder why the severity of traffic as measured by stress is indicated separately then the severity of traffic measured by normal means Ive heard some say that its a gimmick to make CarDiac Traffic unique and maybe theres some truth to that But the thing is I like having stress as a distinct barometer of traffic It doesnt just give me the facts of what the traffic is physically like but also is warning me how Im probably going to feel and if Im probably going to feel stressed I dont want any part of whats up ahead It also tells what me other people are feeling it brings a human element to traffic Plus stressed people arent good drivers so when I see black coming up I know I dont want to be there Even if traffic doesnt get worse theres quality of life to think about I dont want to be surrounded by a bunch of honking glaring obscenegesturing people Another thing CarDiac Traffic solves is where to go next Being told that theres traffic and stress up ahead is great but ultimately useless if you cant do anything about it Before CarDiac Traffic taking an alternate route to bypass traffic has always been a gamble for me Sometimes as alternate route has just as much traffic Worse is if youre like me youre utterly clueless about any route but the one you take routinely to get to a frequent destination Turning off of your ordinary route could very well mean getting lost I once ended up driving in the completely opposite direction because I couldnt orient myself after having left my routine route But CarDiac Traffic assigns you an alternate route that bypasses the congest area This is probably where CarDiac Traffic attracts the most criticism People expect to find a secret rarely used route that will allow them to zip along to their end point Instead CarDiac Traffics alternate route shaves only a few minutes off ones commute Thats because CarDiac Traffics overarching goal is to equally distribute traffic for everyone Its assigning alternate routes means that traffic on those routes goes slower thanks to the influx of CarDiac Traffic users while the congested area loosens up due to drivers being redirected away from it In a way one can say that CarDiac Traffic is socializing slowness More people are going slow but the maximum slowness any one driver can possibly experience is greatly reduced But people are thinking in terms of everyones benefit Theyre concerned about personal immediate benefits especially when it comes to traffic Its about you getting somewhere on time not about fairness to everybody While the time spent commuting may be reduced for a few minutes many of arent willing to take a detour for such a marginal return Im the same way I would have turned my nose up at CarDiac Traffic if it wasnt for the rewards Ah the rewards You see if you follow CarDiac Traffics instructions and take an alternate route the app will register that Upon completing ones journey and deactivating the app a message will pop up informing you that you have received a certain amount of credits or reward points redeemable at certain businesses including gas stations like Chevron Costco etc Take a closer look at the ad that plays when start up CarDiac Traffic Chances are whichever business is being advertised is the business for which youll receive credits Continued use of alternate routes can lead to deductions on your auto insurance if you are a State Farm member If you choose to register your policy number in CarDiac Traffic the app will record the number of times a month you use an alternate route when one is made available and automatically send a report to CarDiac Traffic I here there It makes sense that insurance agencies would want you to use CarDiac Traffic The less stress you are under and the less people who are stressed around you the less chance there is that there will be an accident This was what ultimately sold me on CarDiac Traffic I get less stress and a slightly faster commute and Im the one being rewarded for it CarDiac Traffic cant make traffic disappear but it can lessen its impact and make it more bearable                 Dont listen to the naysayersthis really works

Nice to have something free that can measure stress without needing a heart monitor But I think when the pulse gets higher it becomes less accurate when compared to other apps I wish I could see the raw HRV score           handy but not always accurate

Im on vacation in Hawaii laying down and me stress level is 89 Very inconsistent even when at home     Poor product

Heart rate variation is a real thing Wiki it I like Azumios Instant Heart Rate Have used it for one year plus it works well and gives verifiable results This app seems to give reasonable stress level results but logs them with errors I ran around and took my finger off the lens to produce highlevel stress results As expected it gave highlevel stress readings but logged them as 1 readings with my previous comments 2 stars        Not ready for prime time

Good idea and the measurements seem to track my experienced somatic stress level so its probably capturing something But it doesnt record the measurement properly most often grabbing an old value and repeating it rather than recording the latest measurement This is a major flaw if youre trying to systematically learn to manage stress Until this is fixed this isnt the app it promises to be        Marginal

Ok After holding my finger on the camera until the light was burning my skin the readings wont finish I realized that this app is causing me stress Not only would that create a inaccurate reading but also is a hilarious concept for a stress reading application So am I more stressed now What just happened     Stress

The app no longer saves data to the timeline Stress measurements take several minutes to conduct     Not so good

The app wont even open     Poor

The technology looks good but the interpretation seems flaky A 45 stress rating seems correctly reported A subsequent 37 reading is recorded as 45 again and the reading gives the same advice More accuracy would be appreciated before I would upgrade to the paid version           Reading inaccurate

Said I had medium stress a sign that my mind was alert and focused Meanwhile I had just woken up and was groggy        Doesnt work

Will measure A certain amount eg 77 but then say good job is low or along those lines and save as 8 Will not buy paid version     Error with measurements

20 extreme does this mean 120 please respond at your app description    

I like the app Very helpful and raft to use However it saves the level at 20 whether I have 23 or only 5 I woke up with 2 but it still saved it in the history as 20 Besides it gives the same feedback and suggestion all the time independent of the low range percent value           Very good but saves wrong percentage

Everyone in my life and myself would classify me as stressed Yet this app always reports my levels at 12 very low Not convinced of its accuracy        Says Im mellow

I used my iPhone 5 I averaged 25 My wife is on high blood pressure medicine averaged 50 She felt it was because she had coffee with 50 percent caffeine We tested it ten times each This is great and its measurement is comparable to our medical exams My camera light did not even cause my finger to get warm I did not give it a 5 rating because it does not have a method to tell you that your finished without watching it              Great stress checker

Have taken multiple readings over about a week All but one said high stress level On two occasions I was slumped after two glasses of wine ready to fall asleep and definitely not stressed Doesnt work After many months this thing says I have extreme stress when I am totally exhausted and as tense as a wet noodle     Doesnt work

Disappointed The screenshots shown on the sale page are not accurate All you get to see on your Timeline is your stress percentage not your Heart Rate as advertised Boo     Free Version doesnt show Heart Rate

I did expensive sleep studies used other apps and this one most closely aligned with the data from my sleep lab studies but gave me a more restful sleep since I didnt have to wear anything to get the measurement                 Great app

I highly doubt I am extremely stressed out Every time I use this app it tells me my stress level is 85 or higher Its only that high when I use this app because its giving false readings     Seriously

How can it really measure my stress just by heart rate I was at total relaxation and it said my stress level was 80 and everybody I have done the test to have had a 50 or higher I cant call this app reliable at all     Not exactly what it seems

I was tracking my stress level 1week before my vacation Was kind of matching But after 3 days doing nothing at the beach My stress reading was 93 Impossible I tried multiple times Cant trust on this app after that     Doesnt Work

2 stars for interesting facts during test but as it always says i am stressed zero stars to the app I know myself better       

Only works some of the time No matter what your measurement shows it only stores an old number So my measurement showed 57 the number it stores is 84 The same situation for the last several checks Needs the bugs to be fixed        Has Problems

My first stress reading was 73 and labeled Extremely high As I kept re measuring during the day my stress level went down from 73 to 31 but was still labeled Extremely high Really Makes absolutely no sense Back to the drawing board yall        Inaccurate unreliable

No matter how many times I check my levels it continuously says Im stressed I even had others download and install this app and it says the same thing I dont believe this app is accurate     App inaccurate says Everyone is Stresses

Rating came up as Extreme at a 19 stress level This app doesnt seem very accurate     Incorrect Rating

Keep getting over 50 every time even when relaxed Unreliable        Inaccurate

Innovative app to monitor the heart rate                 GreatApp

App wont save some stress checks Annoying     Wont Save Lower Stats

Dont use more than 2 times in a row holding your finger on the lens for 3 minutes or more makes your finger extremely HOT           Good app but

Like other it just keeps recording the same number over and over on the timeline even though the bar is changing high and lower percentages The changes in percentage seemed accurate as i tested in the evening with two diff scenarios and waking in the middle of night The description hasnt changed but most likely has a large percentage range for low high and extreme therefore making people think its not changing Or it could just be another bug Also im assuming people are misunderstanding the term stress too the stress facts explain a little Overall it has great potential but some fixes are needed        Will be a good app wout all the bugs

This app has stopped synching with Argus It needs an upgrade        SavingNOT

I did two checks and they both were in the blue 8 and 10 and the result said high stress Shouldnt it be low        In the blue but high stress

Climbing a stairs moving from sitting to standing position doing cardiovascular activity will all raise your stress level This app does not measure stress only your heart rate Everyone has a different resting HR and that doesnt mean they are more stressed than another individual This App stinks Just take your stress level sitting and then stand up and take it again Your stress level should significantly increase     App appears to just be measuring heart rate

POS Takes five minutes to take a reading and when the test shows its done it starts back at the halfway point I gave up because this dumb crap will probably cause me stress    

I used this app with my phone case which has a covering surrounding the camera The heat from the light made it extremely hard to keep my finger stable And after all that it told me that my stress level is 70 Well thanks for burning my hand     Horrible

Shows I am stressed when I am not And shows I am not when I know I am     Not Accurate

always says extreme no matter who I test it on     bad very bad

It doesnt record the stress level correctly All entries in my timeline and tweets at 47 even though each was actually different Also my last reading was 34 but the screen said my stress level was very high Almost as if the whole app was stuck on my first reading        Timeline and history wrong

Heart rate changes dont tell the while story but this app does a decent job of telling you if you are elevated or not Cool tech at least until they move the flash away from the camera lens              Actually kinda works

Its a fun app but DO NOT RELY ON IT Its says Im stressed after workouts sleeping and even other people who use it like family and friends It checks your pulse just like heart rate monitor so how can it tell if youre stressed IT CANT We even tried it with my 2 year old grand son and its says his stress level is high too Maybe everyone I know is stressed yeah thats it Everyone I know is stressedOMG WERE ALL GONNA DIE Aaaaah aaaahhhh WERE ALL GONNA DIE        FunBUT

this app is a waste of time no need to let it stress you out with its false readings stress is a mental state and cannot be checked on an iPhone     a stress test that stresses you out

Im usually a cool 1 or 2 Today I got stressful news and used the app right afterward Sure enough was at 33                 This app works
